Firebase is a cloud services provider and backend as a service company. Firebase's primary product is a realtime database which provides an API that allows developers to store and sync data across multiple clients.
Firebase automatically stores your users’ credentials securely (using bcrypt) and redundantly (with replication and daily off-site backups). This separates sensitive user credentials from your application data, and lets you focus on the user interface and experience for your app.

1. Take the time to reach out and connect with her.
It means so much for her to know she’s important to you. Make those simple gestures to let her know you love her. Pick up the phone, send her a card, and even share a cherished memory you have with her.
2. Notice and appreciate her details.
With their more subtle natures, TYPE 2 women can often feel like their efforts aren’t noticed. Take the time to acknowledge the time and thought she puts into the details of things.
3. Allow her to be herself and to move at her own pace.
Don’t pressure her to do more or to move quicker. Give her the space to relax and honor her go-with-the-flow movement.
4. Invite her to share her memories.
Ask her to tell you the stories of some of her favorite memories. Invite her to share some of the stories or memories behind some of her keepsakes.
5. Express your gratitude.
Thank her for being who she is and all that she does. Let her know why you appreciate her gifts.
Even casual brand-building for yourself as a developer can bring payoffs in many ways that you might not imagine. The biggest reason for this is that your brand can scale in ways that you, as an individual, cannot. Which means it can bring you more, and higher quality, opportunities than you could necessarily find and chase down on your own.
You must learn to see technology as fundamentally supporting the business, not the other way around.
Remember that your primary goal in implementation should always be to build as simple a system as possible.
You can start to think and act like a CTO long before you ever carry that title. Your ability to focus on the needs of the business first and design creative technology solutions to those problems will propel you forward in your career and will bring you leadership opportunities before you know it.
Side projects are great fodder for your Github account, demonstrate your breadth of interest in technologies and products, and show that you have motivation in getting new things off the ground.
They allow you to learn new technologies and systems faster by parallelization and experimentation. They give you an opportunity to build your network via collaboration. They could also give you potential opportunities to learn other startup principles like failing fast, and systematizing your learning about products and customers.
I want you to realize, you have a destination to pursue. You have goals to attain. You have an assignment to fulfil.
Quite possibly the most important action successful people take is dedicating the time to discover what they are on earth to do and then pursue it with a passion.
Ideas, opportunities, resources, and relationships seem to gravitate to the person who has a clear vision and a clear purpose.
That's what I want for you, to stop wondering for what you're supposed to do with your life and start preparing for what you're supposed to do with your life.
1. Take 100% responsibility for where you are.
We have control over three things:
a. The thoughts we think
b. The images we visualize
c. The actions we take
These three produce the results that you want or don't want.
Results don't lie.
You look around and you say, "Do I like the results I am getting in my life?"
If you don't, then you have to change your actions.
2. Take 100% responsibility for where you are going.
The will to succeed is important but what's even more important is the will to prepare.
-Bobby Knight
Prepare for your destiny.
Books you're reading
Messages you're listening to
People you're spending time with
Things you're researching
Classes/courses you're attending
Mentors you're seeking out
What are you doing to prepare?
Preparation time is never wasted time.
Learning how to manage my time and conquering procrastination.
1. You could be tackling your most difficult projects or list of "things to do" at the wrong time.
Your energy plays such an important role in when you go after some of your goals.
2. Disorganized space will stop you from achieving your goals.
3. Developing a time-map.
You begin scheduling every activity of your life on this time-map from the moment you wake up till you go to sleep. This has been one of the greatest things for me to stay focused and to have peace.
4. Unrealistic lists of "things to do" block you from achieving your goals.
**7:29 to 8:17 Charles Schwab (Bethlehem Steel)
Write down the six most important things you have to do tomorrow.
Number them in the order of importance to you and the company.
Now put that paper in your pocket.
First thing, tomorrow morning, take it out and look at item number 1.
Don't look at the others, just look at number 1.
And start working on it, and stay with it until its completed.
Then take item number 2 the same way.
Then number 3 until you have to quit for the day.
Don't worry if you have finished only one or two because you will be working on the most important ones.
Do this every work day.
1. Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
-Psalm 119:105

-Matthew 6:25, 33

You never outgrow warfare, you must simply learn to fight.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him (God). -Hebrews 11:6
You're gonna have to learn to develop your faith to a greater degree.
3:55 To increase your faith:
1) Hear the Word. -Romans 10:17
This is one of the keys that God has given us.
When you build your faith by listening to messages everyday, then when those obstacles come against you, your faith is so strong, you say,
"I don't know how God's gonna do it but I trust Him.
I trust the Lord with all heart.
I lean not into my own understanding.
In all my ways I acknowledge Him."
That's a result of building your faith everyday.

1. What brings you joy?
What causes you to light up when you get an opportunity to do this?
2. What angers you?
Vision is always the solution to a problem, and those things that frustrate you the most could be a strong indication that God has called you to bring a solution to that problem.
One of the questions you need to ask yourself is: What is God speaking to your heart?
There's a reason the windshield is bigger than the rear-view mirror.
Everything God has for you is ahead of you.
Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing in your life, and now it shall spring forth. -Isaiah 43:18-19
Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. -Romans 12:2
What do you renew your mind to?
The Word of God.
How do you do that?
Renewing the mind is a two-step process:
1. Getting rid of the old.
2. Replacing with the new.
Read the Word of God or listen to the Word of God at some point everyday.
The enhanced for loop allows you to iterate through a collection without having to create an Iterator or without having to calculate beginning and end conditions for a counter variable.
for example:
for (char c : hashMap.keySet())
{
}
means, for each character in the Set (of characters).
Anything that implements Iterable can be supported.
This is particularly nice in Collections.
