FAQ
Blog FAQs
What does the JBS Dev blog cover?
The blog covers software engineering, AI and machine learning, cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, data engineering, web and mobile development, application modernization, and how software teams work. Some posts are hands-on tutorials, such as setting up Terraform for Azure. Others cover hiring and running development teams.
How is the blog different from the guides?
A blog post covers one topic as it stood when the post was written and keeps its publish date. The guides page collects our downloadable eBooks and white papers, our videos and podcasts, and a terminology section. For hands-on detail, start with the blog. For a longer read on one topic, start with an eBook or white paper.
Are older posts still accurate?
Each post shows the date it was published. Technical posts describe the tools and versions current at that date, so check the current documentation before you follow an older tutorial. For questions about your own systems, use the form below to reach an experienced team member.
