I didn't have time for blogging lately as not too long ago I started learning test automation, prior to that I worked a QA, albeit as a manual tester, so my knowledge of automation was theoretical, and very limited - at best. Don't get me wrong, I'm still just a beginner at it, but now I have an idea of what's what and I'm learning new stuff pretty much every day. I'm mostly focusing on automation with C#, using NUnit and Selenium, which is also proving to be a really good chance to get more acquainted with Visual Studio, which I've used only casually before. Now apart from learning the specifics of automation I try to watch a course or a two on Visual Studio, being someone who was primarily learning web development and using light text editors (I've used Atom, Notepad++, Sublime and mostly VSCode) I'm truly impressed with the power of Visual Studio - the Enterprise edition in particular!

Currently the new WordPress Gutenberg editor is available to as a plugin , so you can try it out.  It will be the default editor in WordPress 5.0 which should be out before the end of 2018. You can also check it out as a preview here . Gutenberg uses blocks for building a website, so if you used any existing page builders (Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi Builder, WPBakery, etc.) it will feel familiar. Another thing it's worth mentioning is that Gutenberg is built using React, it's an effort on the part of the WordPress development teams to modernize WordPress core.  However, it's not all pink roses and happy unicorns farting rainbows while running around the enchanted meadows, Gutenberg's early adoption has not been very high. Currently the plugin has an average rating of 2.5 which is relatively low, over 750 people who tried it out gave it only 1 star. A detailed talk about the WordPress Gutenberg editor Luckily for those who try Gut...
