12 Things Every Junior Developer Should Learn

12 Things Every Junior Developer Should Learn | Code it | Scoop.it
  • learn how a relational database works (this is always useful)
  • learn how HTTP works in general
  • learn how to debug code in one language (it's pretty much the same in others, you can recycle most of the knowledge)
  • be familiar with the command line
  • know how to find code (either using your IDE or grep on the command line)
  • knowing the basics of regular expressions will get you far (also to find code in the previous point)
  • know how to find solutions using a search engine
  • know how to operate git (I would say any source control but git is the de facto standard so you might as well start with that)
  • ask questions, especially if you think they're not worth being asked
  • learn how timezones work (not kidding, lots of devs are still fuzzy on these)
  • learn how unicode and utf-8 work (same reason for timezones)
  • have a general idea of how caching (CPU, in memory, disk, HTTP) works as a concept

Tech FAQs: Using curl to fetch from a URL which outputs a dynamically generated Excel file

Tech FAQs: Using curl to fetch from a URL which outputs a dynamically generated Excel file | Code it | Scoop.it
We often come across this case where another company provides us with a url which we can  use via a browser to get an excel or pdf report. 
 
Usually it also accepts one or more parameters, which are used by the backend script in the report generation process.
 
How does one call this via CURL to allow our application to fetch the reports automatically  based on some pre defined schedule, or in a bulk fashion for a set of running parameters.
