Fantastic Preface Monitoring SSL Traffic of Android Apps is quite a challenge these days.

I’ve worked with Adobe Tracking Suite (which is Adobe Launch and all it’s sibblings) for quite a while and I saw many, some quite chaotic, tracking implementations and tag managers.

( task | solution ) The first time I read through the riddle, I was like: “Phew, no way, I’m going to skip this!”

( task | solution ) This is the kind of task I really enjoy: finding algorithms for simple mathematical challenges!

( task | solution ) This task looks tricky, so I am once again choosing a simple language that I am familiar with: JavaScript ( which, by the way, was developed in just 10 days ).

( task | solution ) It’s the fifth day of our outrageous adventure, and we are dealing with printer updates.

( task ) I Made It to Day 4!

( task | solution ) As I reached the third day of my adventure, I had already learned something new that significantly improves the process: the devcontainer.json file can handle creating and running the Docker container for me.

( task | solution ) This task is about testing if integers in a list are increasing or decreasing.

( task | solution ) As the challenge at AoC is not about the syntax but the algorithm, I decided to try a different approach this year: a new language every day.
