I am new to the more formal methodologies (TDD and BDD) where most of my unit testing previously was ad hoc and custom code — often in-source, macro and controlled through hard-coded #define statements. Use of a framework in C++, similar to mocha in Javascript, was appealing to me and I hoped to learn a new approach I could apply in my research work. https://northerntechie.org/posts/s3cloudfront/ Fri, 29 May 2020 20:51:15 -0700 https://northerntechie.org/posts/s3cloudfront/ Amazon’s S3 bucket Website and Cloudfront Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) S3 storage is a service to store files and provides both distribution and versioning.

The motivation for this blog is to create an exposé of my learnings as I explore the latter half of my master’s degree and beyond. I am also motivated to write about my approach to problem solving, if only and selfishly to practice writing and get better at that particular and satisfying trade.
