Django uses special database settings when testing so that tests can use the database normally but by default run on an empty database. Database changes in one test will not be seen by another. For example, both of the following tests will pass: from django.test import TestCase from myapp.models...

Suppose you have a simple Customer model: class Customer(models.Model): first_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) last_name = models.CharField(max_length=255) is_premium = models.BooleanField(default=False) You register it in the Django admin and add search field by first_name...

With Calendar class it is easy to find AM or PM. Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); cal.setTime(new Date()); if (cal.get(Calendar.AM_PM) == Calendar.PM) System.out.println("It is PM");

class Foo { private string[] cities = new[] { "Paris", "London", "Berlin" }; public string this[int index] { get { return cities[index]; } set { cities[index] = value; } } } Usage...

To perform actions in Django using commandline or other services (where the user/request is not used), you can use the management commands. Django modules can be imported as needed. For each command a separate file needs to be created: myapp/management/commands/my_command.py (The management and...

A compound view is a custom ViewGroup that's treated as a single view by the surrounding program code. Such a ViewGroup can be really useful in DDD-like design, because it can correspond to an aggregate, in this example, a Contact. It can be reused everywhere that contact is displayed. This means t...

This example listens for input coming in over the serial connection, then repeats it back out the same connection. byte incomingBytes; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Opens serial port, sets data rate to 9600 bps. } void loop() { // Send data only when you receive...

A major problem with parallelization is the used of RNG as seeds. Random numbers by the number are iterated by the number of operations from either the start of the session or the most recent set.seed(). Since parallel processes arise from the same function, it can use the same seed, possibly causin...

Good error handling prevents end users from seeing VBA runtime errors and helps the developer easily diagnose and correct errors.

Our randomNumbers() function can be re-written to use a generator. <?php function randomNumbers(int $length) { for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { // yield tells the PHP interpreter that this value // should be the one used in the current iteration. yield mt...

There are only two string operators: Concatenation of two strings (dot): $a = "a"; $b = "b"; $c = $a . $b; // $c => "ab" Concatenating assignment (dot=): $a = "a"; $a .= "b"; // $a => "ab"

Implementing IErrorHandler for WCF services is a great way to centralize error handling and logging. The implementation shown here should catch any unhandled exception that is thrown as a result of a call to one of your WCF services. Also shown in this example is how to return a custom object, and h...

When writing a class with generics in java, it is possible to ensure that the type parameter is an enum. Since all enums extend the Enum class, the following syntax may be used. public class Holder<T extends Enum<T>> { public final T value; public Holder(T init) { t...

Twilio's Node.JS API natively supports promises, allowing you to use promises when sending SMS messages (this example was taken and adapted directly from Twilio's API Docs). // Create an authenticated Twilio REST API client var twilio = require('twilio'); var client = new twilio.RestClient('ACCOU...
