HR Applications in Loco
Have you been trying to experiment with Loco for your HR Apps? I bet you noticed something - by default - most apps will allow everyone on your team to see ALL of your data. For many applications , this is the desired behavior. But for apps that contain sensitive data - this is not the best way to share information. For HR apps, you probably want the data set to private, so only the author of the data and the admin can access the data.Well, with Loco 1.2, your prayers have been answered! You may now set a deck to private when you are defining or editing the deck.

The Future of Software Applications?
After building software products for the past 20 years, we have seen our fair share of software application development. Most of the time, we are brought in to solve a problem that requires a digital solution (web site or an app), and also one that requires an accessible interface that allows people to emotionally connect with the product. Most of these solutions are later released to the world as revenue-generating software products.

Where is artificial intelligence technology headed? Every article we read points in a different direction. Will it be the job-killing juggernaut, devastating mid-level jobs?

Low-Code vs. No-Code. Let's Define our Terms
In the low-code application development platform space, some terms bounce around a lot. Let's take a minute in this article to pick apart these terms, just so we're all starting from the same place.
An Update on Meltdown/Spectre
You may have heard of the recently reported issues related to performance enhancing routines built into most modern computer processors. These two vulnerabilities identified by researchers have been dubbed Meltdown and Spectre.
These issues expose a means in nearly all modern processors for a would-be attacker to obtain data once thought to be immune from observation or hijacking. Hardware and software manufacturers have worked to provide protective counter measures to prevent these vulnerabilities from being exploited.
D8 - Custom Batch Processes
Sometimes we need to run operations that will take a long time. We need to make sure the request doesn’t time out and it would be nice to let the user see that progress is being made. Drupal uses batch processing to do things like rebuilding content access permissions. Let’s dig in and see how we can create a custom batch process of our own. This is a walkthrough on batch processing for Drupal 8. I'm using Drupal 8.4, but this should apply to Drupal 8.2 and up.
The first step is creating a new module. We’ll call ours example_batch.
