Hello World 👋

A small background on why this site exists and what it is for.

Why?​

Over the past years I have learned a lot in terms of creating digital products and the software engineering process. Many of these topics came from public blog posts and articles. During the transition from twitter to X I have learned a valuable lesson: social media platforms can take all of your content with a click of a button and any content is simply gone. This is why I have decided to create this website and write about my experiences and learnings. Because here I have full control about the content and can also decide what to post.

My goal is to simply have a place where I can write all my thoughts, ideas and more down instead of having everything part of my personal obsidian vault. Also a lot of my colleagues often asked me about certain topics so here I can easily share them with the world. I also want to give something back for free because most of my knowledge came from ressource that anyone on the internet can read and learn from.

What you will find here​

Basically anything that I think is important when it comes to creating software and speciallly software that is tailored for the world wide web. The website itself is built with docusaurus and split into the following sections:

  • Software Engineering
  • Architecture
  • Learning
  • Blog

Software Engineering​

Is built as documentation and reference for all things related to any software engineering process. This includes thoughts what even software engineering is and how to approach it.

Architecture​

Here I want to document how you can build systems based on a given technology or framework. I try to follow the diàtaxis approach here and at the moment you will find a lot about angular.

Learning​

In the last two years I have teached at the Duale Hochschule Baden Württemberg as lecturer for Web Programming. Many of these ressources were originally created as powerpoint and shared over multiple channels. Since I use the same slides for internal teachings at PlanB. GmbH I wanted to have a place where I can easily share them by providing a single link. Also I hate working with powerpoint and markdown allows me to easier write.

Blog​

The blog is my place where I will randomly write about anything. I try to keep it software related but I can't promise anything 😅. This is also the entry point to maybe special topics that are then part of one of the other sections in much more detail.

How to leave feedback​

I love to hear from you and also get ideas where I could improve certain topics. At the moment the best way is to write me an Email (jens.reiner@plan-b-gmbh.com) in the future I am looking to integrate giscus) to allow you to leave comments directly on the website.
