[Apr. 29. 2024] j Silvestri Apps, BETA v 2024.4.29.13 Release: Start of the, " Why It's Important to Chose What's Best for the Business Over Self Preservation" Blog Post, Concluding Code Refactoring for Asp.NET Migration Readiness, Continuation of "2024 March Madness Exclusive" Promotion, under the new "2024 May Mayhem " Promotion and Increased Rates : Build 2024.4.29.13


Application Assembly: jSilvestri
Build: BETA v 2024.4.29.13
Date Reported:  
Date Completed:   

Current Workflow State:
Completed

Web/Mobile Developer:
Jason Silvestri

Primary Reason for Release:

The App Assembly, jSilvestri, BETA v 2024.4.29.13 Release, focuses on the conclusion of the code refactoring, aimed at aligning legacy Asp.NET Core standards and dependency injections with the updated Asp.NET 6 standards implemented last year. These efforts bring us closer to readiness for the upcoming migration to Asp.NET 7 & 8. Additionally, we've continued the "2024 May Mayhem Exclusive" promotion, offering a 20% discount on ALL Rates and Services, but under the new "May Mayhem," Promotion with decreased discount of a 20% discount on ALL Rates and Services.

Completed Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state Completed that made this release possible are as follows:

  • Upgraded BETA v 2024.4.0.001 to BETA v 2024.4.29.13 to continue in accordance with the business requirements outlined in standups, and to continue updates with the final days of remaining Asp.NET Core 6.1.208 (and higher) updates before our Asp.NET 7.0 releases. These update have brought us 4/6 closer to Asp.NET Core migrations to 7 & 8!
  • Made global changes to promotions, content, campaigns, etc., continuing, "March Madness Exclusive: Enjoy Your 33% Discount on ALL Rates!" promotion to the new, early released, "May Mayhem Exclusive: Enjoy Your 20% Discount on ALL Rates." See the May Mayhem Exclusive: Enjoy Your 20% Discount on ALL Rates! page for more details.
  • Continued efforts with the new Managed Account section, accessible to users with Cosmic privileges on jSilvestri.com. The new user interface is a much different creature than what was just recently available, by login to Managed Accounts. See, Managed Accounts
  • Continued efforts with the National Weather Services Web API integration, accessible to users with Cosmic privileges on jSilvestri.com. This integration will power live data forecasting for the upcoming Web API Demos, which I'm developing in Asp.NET Core Blazor, Vue, ReactJS & AngularJS, soon to be available on GitHub. You can login to the “Weather Web API Demo page” section if you have Cosmic permissions. See, Weather Api Demos : Home for more details.

In-Work Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state In-Work that contributed to this release being possible are as follows:

  • Created Advanced Breadcrumb Tag Helper for menus that have Razor Pages, MVC Controllers/Actions, common URLs and some other surprises. This new menu set will also be replacing much of the current way we handle active pages. Conversely, this is still In Work.
  • One thing still ongoing (and should be approached carefully as I do) is handling obsolete dependency injections, service references, etc., which directly relate to our migration from Asp.NET Core 3 to Asp.NET Core 6. To be expected.
  • Concluding any more SEO based page updates with page-to-page titles, keywords, descriptions, etc., it would be good to finish.
  • Creating Next Generation Repository class and IRepository interface couplings for all new Web API services/end points.

In Closing:

This release has already been deployed to Production successfully!

I expect the BETA v 2024.4.29.14 release to include the final implementation of one or more action items that still had the workflow state In-Work described in this build.

Date Completed:   

Current Workflow State:
Completed

Web/Mobile Developer:
Jason Silvestri

Primary Reason for Release:

The App Assembly, jSilvestri, BETA v 2024.2.1.134 Release, focuses on significant progress in code refactoring, aimed at aligning legacy Asp.NET Core standards and dependency injections with the updated Asp.NET 6 standards implemented last year. These efforts bring us closer to readiness for the upcoming migration to Asp.NET 7 & 8. Additionally, we've introduced some exciting enhancements, including suggested resources within the apps to streamline user access to desired data. Furthermore, this release debuts the first iteration of National Weather Services Web API integration, accessible to users with Cosmic privileges on jSilvestri.com. This integration will power live data forecasting for the upcoming Web API Demos, which I'm developing in Asp.NET Core Blazor, Vue, ReactJS & AngularJS, soon to be available on GitHub. Moreover, this release includes updates for the highly anticipated "2024 March Madness Exclusive" promotion, offering a 33% discount on ALL Rates and Services throughout March. As we move forward, the promotion may extend into April under the name "April Advance," with details to be determined.

Completed Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state Completed that made this release possible are as follows:

  • Upgraded BETA v 2024.1.3.003 to BETA v 2024.2.1.134 to continue in accordance with the business requirements outlined in standups, and to continue updates with the final days of remaining Asp.NET Core 6.1.208 (and higher) updates before our Asp.NET 7.0 releases. This update alone has brought us 4/6 closer to Asp.NET migrations to 7 & 8!
  • Updated several hundred legacy DAL objects with fixes and standards, and prepped for migration to repository objects.
  • Added custom Google Tag Manager that times out if Google Tag Manager takes too long to load their stats.
  • Removed uneccessary Async/Await operation from a particular Web API object.
  • Created some cool A.I. suggested resources to the apps that users get to the data they want quicker!
  • Made new section, entitled, "Discovery." There is a much bigger update coming to this section of the mobile & web application user experiences. See the Discovery Hub for more details.
  • Made more updates to the page, entitled, "March Madness Exclusive: Enjoy Your 33% Discount on ALL Rates Below." See the March Madness Exclusive: Enjoy Your 33% Discount on ALL Rates! page for more details.
  • Added all new main menus for all account pages, actions, and controllers, which now rely on Filters to play a more direct role in ensuring any case has View Data values we may or may not have set already, via Views, Pages, Partial Views, Controllers and/or page model code behinds, etc.
  • Debut the first iteration of National Weather Services Web API integration, accessible to users with Cosmic privileges on jSilvestri.com. This integration will power live data forecasting for the upcoming Web API Demos, which I'm developing in Asp.NET Core Blazor, Vue, ReactJS & AngularJS, soon to be available on GitHub.
  • You can login to the “Weather Web API Demo page” section if you have Cosmic permissions. See, Weather Api Demos : Home for more details.
  • You can login to the “Lifecycle page” section if you have Cosmic permissions to now create Lifecycles and Workflow States. See, Lifecycles : Home for more details

  • Updated the “Talent Profile:  Common Occupation Details” section to support the 33% Off ALL Rates and Services March Madness deal. See, Pricing for more details. .
  • See, Innovations for more details.
  • One thing I thought was odd when attempting to migrate Entity Framework Core 6  to 8 was that -aside from certain features being deprecated when performing database first updates, models were not overwritten, and instead, new instances were created for every modal available. I had to roll back all models and DbContext changes for the time being. It is one of the few things standing in the way of migration to Asp Core .NET 7 & 8.
  • I performed an impressive refactor of our custom View Data and View Bag Content Manager, that created a positive impact across the board. Some pages need some love, but the  majority of the pages, actions and controllers and handled in the way accessible.

In-Work Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state In-Work that contributed to this release being possible are as follows:

  • One thing still ongoing (and should be approached carefully as I do) is handling obsolete dependency injections, service references, etc., which directly relate to our migration from Asp.NET Core 6 to Asp.NET Core 8. To be expected.
  • Concluding any more SEO based page updates with page-to-page titles, keywords, descriptions, etc., it would be good to finish.
  • The sitemap, by adding blog section, managed accounts, etc.
  • We have a complete Privacy Policy, Cookie Privacy Policy and Terms still need to be converted from World doc “words” to HTML. The sooner the better.
  • Switch Caps flag back to true and fix bug.

In-Work Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state In-Work that contributed to this release being possible are as follows:

  • One thing still ongoing (and should be approached carefully as I do) is handling obsolete dependency injections, service references, etc., which directly relate to our migration from Asp.NET Core 6 to Asp.NET Core 8. To be expected.
  • Concluding any more SEO based page updates with page-to-page titles, keywords, descriptions, etc., it would be good to finish.
  • The sitemap, by adding blog section, managed accounts, etc.
  • We have a complete Privacy Policy, Cookie Privacy Policy and Terms still need to be converted from World doc “words” to HTML. The sooner the better.
  • Switch Caps flag back to true and fix bug.

In Closing:

This release has already been deployed to Production successfully!

I expect the BETA v 2024.0.2.004 release to include the final implementation of one or more action items that still had the workflow state In-Work described in this build.

Date Reported:  
Date Completed:  

Current Workflow State:
Completed

Web/Mobile Developer:
Jason Silvestri

Primary Reason for Release:

The App Assembly, jSilvestri, BETA v 2024.0.0.008 Release, focuses on more updates in the Common Occupation Details section and the Blog section, with the blog post, entitled, "Jason Silvestri Helping Deal Hopper™ on Discovery of AspNet Core Blazor and .Net MAUI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

Completed Action Items: 01.30.2024: 1 of 3

The action items with the workflow state Completed that made this release possible are as follows:

  • Upgraded BETA v 2024.0.0.007 to BETA v 2024.0.0.008 to continue in accordance with the business requirements outlined in standups, and to continue updates with the final days of remaining Asp.NET Core 6.1.208 (and higher) updates before our Asp.NET 7.0 releases.
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps, called, Skills, to show, in table format, all skills and the years experience, to make it easier for headhunters, recruiters, staffing firms and talent acquisition specialists to review my experience. See What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience? section for more details.
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps; by updating each section with its respective icons, fixed spacing, and removed unnecessary spacing after padding implementation.
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps, by updating each section’s positioning and subsequent link structures. This needs more work, but surely close. Worth the check-in and deployment.
  • Updating the Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume-Talent-Profile-Occupation-Details Word & PDF file generators as I go along with updates. See, Generate PDF or Word of all Occupation Details for more details.
  • Made Updates to the Blog Post, entitled, "Jason Silvestri Helping Deal Hopper™ on Discovery of AspNet Core Blazor and .Net MAUI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". See the Jason Silvestri Helping Deal Hopper™ on Discovery of AspNet Core Blazor and .Net MAUI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly blog post for more details.

Completed Action Items: 01.30.2024: 2 of 3

The action items with the workflow state Completed that made this release possible are as follows:

  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps, called, Skills, to show, in table format, all skills and the years experience, to make it easier for headhunters, recruiters, staffing firms and talent acquisition specialists to review my experience. See What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience? section for more details.
  • Made simple update to Occupation Details, where I updated the section, entitled, “Project Management (Scrum) Styles” section to include a custom style I invented, entitled, “Tiles™”. This concept will be explained more in future releases. I also updated the H3 headings to instead use the H4 Headings, except for the Resume section. The smaller fonts look better and are easier to read, despite the Heading demotion.
  • Made semi-complex update to Occupation Details, where I updated any sub sections, we feel needs updating asap, with an alert that describes it, but also shows the Employment Styles as the example. See, Project Management Scrum Types for more details.
  • Removed “I must see final resume” alert from resumes for now (located at bottom of section). We may add it back in the future, but for now it’s busy enough. Any headhunter, recruiter, staffing firm agent or talent acquisition specialist modifying my resumes are going to modify it without permission anyway. See, Latest 2024 Resumes for more details.
  • Final slimmed down words in all resumes download links, so they look better in smaller device views. See, Latest 2024 Resumes for more details.
  • Updating the Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume-Talent-Profile-Occupation-Details Word & PDF file generators as I go along with updates. See, Generate PDF or Word of all Occupation Details for more details.
  • Adding Social Link Updates for release.

Completed Action Items: 01.30.2024: 3 of 3

The action items with the workflow state Completed that made this release possible are as follows:

  • Made simple update to Occupation Details, where I updated  All Previous Section and Next Section link displays to remove the “Section” verbiage from the links, so all three links (Previous, Next & Top links) reside on the same line when we review links via smaller devices. I’ll be honest. It doesn’t look right. See What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience? section for more details.
  • Made simple update to Occupation Details, where I updated  the new alert boxes to a more grammar friendly of the message.
  • Updated About Us page to refactor padding across primary call-to-action section. In addition, updated sub call to actions. See, About Jason Silvestri for more details.
  • Updated About jSilvestri Apps page to page to refactor to fix content that describes my goals for 2024. Right now, my message references 2023 talk, and some of my objectives are a little different. See, About jSilvestri Apps for more details.
  • While making updates to About Us page, I inadvertently found a fix primary container bug, which had the main CSS selector reading, “section-About-info". We don’t use that naming convention. Almost always snake case. With that said, I found and fixed 8 instances of this to be “section-about-info”. See, About Jason Silvestri for more details.
  • Updated Home page to finally use the <small> CSS Selector to modify the “On-The-Market call to action for Headhunters, Recruiters, Staffing Firms, & Talent Acquisition Specialists” to make it a little smaller (all that verbiage looks better, smaller). See, Home Page for more details.
  • Made big update to Occupation Details, where I concluded the primary efforts of the section, entitled, “What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience?” section to include most skills and years experience. See, What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience? section for more details.

In-Work Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state In-Work that contributed to this release being possible are as follows:

  • One thing still ongoing (and should be approached carefully as I do) is handling obsolete dependency injections, service references, etc., which directly relate to our migration from Asp.NET Core 6 to Asp.NET Core 8. To be expected.
  • Concluding any more SEO based page updates with page-to-page titles, keywords, descriptions, etc., it would be good to finish.
  • The DoorDash End Article still needs immediate improvement.
  • The sitemap, by adding blog section, managed accounts, the new Occupation Details friendly URLs, etc.
  • We have a complete Privacy Policy, Cookie Privacy Policy and Terms still need to be converted from World doc “words” to HTML. The sooner the better.

  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps; updating the Skills section to show, in table format, all skills and the years experience, to make it easier for head hunters, recruiters, staffing firms and talent acquisition specialists to review my experience. See What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience? section for more details.
  • Put some decent effort into the Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume-Talent-Profile-Occupation-Details Word & PDF documents. Added a lot more content that is new on the mobile & web apps, cleaned up content overall, etc.
  • Updated Release Note links, titles & description mechanics to make things easier to read.
  • Updated primary footer and finally fixed Twitter Followers and Toppler Triballers alignment issue on iPhones... Again...
  • Looked into GIT/ DevOps Commit, Pull, Push and/or Sync issues. (a bug in Visual Studio). Testing this release once deployed will be understand if it was in fact an authentication issue due to the Azure Portal orphaning issues we know exist, and Azure Developers and I have been troubling shooting so other customers can benefit from our LIVE testing sacrifice.

In-Work Action Items:

The action items with the workflow state In-Work that contributed to this release being possible are as follows:

  • Adding Blog Post, entitled, "Blazor, .NET MAUI, the Good, the Bad & the Ugly".
  • FAQ page is EXTREMELY OUTDATED. We need to clean that up.
  • One thing still ongoing (and should be approached carefully as I do) is handling obsolete dependency injections, service references, etc., which directly relate to our migration from Asp.NET Core 6 to Asp.NET Core 8. To be expected.
  • Concluding any more SEO based page updates with page-to-page titles, keywords, descriptions, etc., it would be good to finish.
  • The DoorDash End Article still needs immediate improvement.
  • The sitemap, by adding blog section, managed accounts, the new Occupation Details friendly URLs, etc.
  • We have a complete Privacy Policy, Cookie Privacy Policy and Terms still need to be converted from World doc “words” to HTML. The sooner the better.
  • Switch Caps flag back to true and fix bug.

In Closing:

This release has already been deployed to Production successfully!

I expect the BETA v 2024.0.0.005 release to include the final implementation of one or more action items that still had the workflow state In-Work described in this build.

[01/08/2024] Build 2024.0.0.002, j Silvestri, App Assembly, BETA v 2024.0.0.002 Release: Updates to Friendly URL Release Notes, Occuption Details Refactoring, Content changes, as well as other 2024 Initiatives


Application Assembly: jSilvestri

Primary Reason for Release:

  • With Advanced A.I., I created a rather helpful set of regular expressions, and then used these regular expressions to create middleware that serves release notes to visitors in a more user friendly manner. For example, now, instead of visitors needing to review or remember a more complex link to release notes, such as, www.jsilvestri.com / home /bug_fixes_and_updates #jasonSilvestriRm2024m0r0b002 you can use www.jsilvestri.com/releases/2024-0-0-002. See Release Notes for more details.
  • Updated minor parts of my latest versions of my resume, including both sets of Word and PDF formats, for versions such as Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume & Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume-Staffing-Template. Conversely, put a lot of cleanup effort into the Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume-Talent-Profile-Occupation-Details & Jason-Silvestri-2024-Resume-for-Monster-ONLY documents to help recruiters, head hunters, staffing firms & talent acquisition specialists reference information, links to web & mobile resources, and in cleaner, more up-to-date seperation of content, etc. See Latest 2024 Resumes for more details.
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps: adding modals to extend information, and then, reducing content per section for easier read. See Talent Profile for more details.
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps: added a data table matrix of skills and years experiences, for easier ingestion, instead of the outdated, comma seperated paragraph previously available. See What Are Your Primary Skills, Tech Stacks & Years Experience? section for more details.
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps: I also cleaned up a lot of dl, dd & dt showcased content, added H1-H6 instead (where applicable).
  • Continued efforts in a major refactor of the Candidate Common Occupation Details section of the mobile & web apps: added all new location types, employment types, etc., to break up the Desired Job Types/Positions sections.

  • Concluding any more SEO based page updates with page-to-page titles, keywords, descriptions, etc., it would be good to finish.
  • The DoorDash End Article needs immediate improvement.
  • The sitemap, by adding blog section, managed accounts, etc.
  • We have a complete Privacy Policy, Cookie Privacy Policy and Terms still need to be converted from World doc “words” to HTML. The sooner the better.
  • Switch Caps flag back to true and fix bug.

In Closing:

This release has already been deployed to Production successfully!

I expect the BETA v 2023.6.1.220 release to include the final implementation of one or more action items that still had the workflow state In-Work described in this build.

Update 003. Added a Few New Blog Posts with More to Come



Status: Implemented


It has been a very long time since I made a blog post of any kind. Whether it is hunting for the next big contract or fulltime, working with Recruiters and Talent Acquisition Specialists around the World (literally) or on site working with one of their clients, there really hasn't been enough time to make the time required to make a post. In my defense, however, as shown in Figure 3 below, I really do not want to make blog posts just because and/or for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) purposes. The content matter must.... Well... Matter.


Figure 3: New Blog Posts:


Jason Silvestri 2022 - Blog Post Page Updates

With that said, I have a couple really important topics with respects to the complex Lifecycles and Workflows I developed, and use, every day with recruiters and talent acquisition specialists to obtain that offer letter all sides once, to the new and exciting development technologies I use today, like Asp.NET Core 6 & Blazor, both 2022 versions of the .NET flavor, that is so powerful, it is now 7x faster than Java, NodeJS and many more technologies. It is baffling to say the least and a very exciting time to be a developer. Check out my blog section for more details.

Update 002. Added a New Bug Fixes and Updates Section to the Application

Bug 004. If I fill Out the Contact Form and try to Submit It, I get an Error.


Build: 2023.0.0.21
Date Reported:  

Current Workflow State: In-Work


If a user tries to fill out the contact form to reach out to us for support or service, they get an error. The mobile and web application experiences do make the user aware of the issue, explains that the team is working on the issue, and that they do not need do anything more to help solve the issue. Still, they cannot submit the form! This is an issue that is unacceptable. The plan is to…

The Problem:

There is a bug where any user that tries to use the Contact Form gets an error upon submission of that form.

Yes, if a user tries to fill out the contact form to reach out to us for support or service they get an error. Conversely, the mobile and web applications do make the user aware of the issue, explains that our team is working on the issue, and that they do not need do anything more to help solve the issue. Still, you cannot submit the form! This is an issue that is unacceptable, and it is being worked on as we write.

The steps we had to take to replicate the issues are as follows:

  • Go to the Contact page.
  • Fill out all form fields.
  • Pass the Captcha test to ensure you are not a robot.
  • Click the Submit button to submit the form.
  • An Error is displayed with a generic error message (by design), stating there was an issue, we are working on it, etc., etc., as shown in Figure 4.1 below. The Figure 4.1.1 below that is a closeup of the same Figure.

In Closing:

As soon as we can release a fix to this issue we absolutely will deploy to production. It is an obvious bottleneck that should not be, and is not, acceptable.

I expect the 2023.0.0.22 release to have this final implementation. It will not be considered a bug fix. If anything, an update.

Bug 003. Anywhere a Phone Number is Required You Must Provide Hyphens for Phone Numbers to Validate Successfully, and for the Form to Submit.


Build: 2023.0.0.21
Date Reported:  
Date Bug Fixed: 

Current Workflow State: Completed


This release is solely to make a fix to a bug that went from a medium, important enough, “We’ll get to it soon fix” priority, to a full-blown, critical “43% of all users can’t submit a contact form”, with the issue effecting all end user experiences that rely on their iPhone 12+ Pro (or lower) phones to submit our primary Contact forms successfully. Like, wait, what? Right… Exactly…

The Problem:

There is a bug where any phone number used, on any form across our mobile & web applications, encounters the issue where the phone number must have hyphens that separate each phone number segment of their phone number, for it to be valid. The form will not submit until you use the hyphens. This went from a "I'll get to it" bug to a critical "All iPhone users can't submit forms" issue, within literally a minute or two upon discovery, as most errors of that caliber do, after Bella Silvestri, a member of my personal Q&A team, discovered the issue when testing the primary contact form just hours ago, using versions of iPhones.


The young and talented Bella Silvestri discovered that iPhone users, using iPhone 12 or lower, do not have the characters (like hyphens) within the native, digital, keyboard/keypad, when using their native phone's browser’s to fill out common forms you find on most sites. In our case, it was the very important Contact form.

The steps we had to take to replicate the issues are as follows:

  • Go to the Contact page.
  • Fill out, either just the phone number and/or all form fields, including phone numbers.
  • If you provide a phone number with just the numbers, no delimiters like spaces and/or hyphens, and you will not be able to submit the form until you discover, on your own, that a phone number with hyphens may be the required format. Not uncommon, but certainly not obvious either.
  • Click the Submit button to submit the form or ensure the phone number has focus again after a change.
  • An Error is displayed with a generic error message (by design), stating the phone number you provided is not valid, as shown in Figure 3.1 below, and will not be until you provide a format with hyphens (which may not even be obvious at the time). Figure 3.1.1 below that is a closeup of the same, and Figure 3.1.2, below that, is another closeup, showing the work around to ensuring the phone number can at least be validated and the form submitted.

The Solution:

There is a bug where any phone number used, on any form across our mobile & web applications, encounters the issue where the phone number must have hyphens that separate each phone number segment of their phone number, for it to be valid. The form will not submit until you use the hyphens. This went from a "I'll get to it" bug to a critical "All iPhone users can't submit forms" issue, within literally a minute or two upon discovery, as most errors of that caliber do, after Bella, a member of my personal Q&A team, discovered the issue when testing the primary contact form just hours ago, using versions of iPhones.

The young and talented Bella discovered that iPhone users, using iPhone 12 or lower, do not have the characters (like hyphens) within the native, digital, keyboard/keypad, when using their native phone's browser’s to full out common forms you find on most sites. In our case, it was the very important Contact form.

To aid in the QA (Quality Assurance) of our mobile & web applications, and to prove this fix is present in this build, the steps you can take to replicate the proof-of-the-fix are as follows:

  • Please Note: these steps are here to prove the phone number is valid and the Contact form can be submitted. The fix does not cover any further scope of work (e.g., for example, whether the form submission itself was successful). 
  • Go to the Contact page.
  • Fill out, either just the phone number, and/or, all form fields, including phone numbers.
  • If you provide a phone number with just the numbers, no delimiters like spaces and/or hyphens or decide to provide spaces and/or hyphens, the validation of the phone number is valid as expected, and you can submit the form once you have completed the Captcha test, as shown in the closeup Figure 3.2.1 & Figure 3.2.2 below.

In Closing:

The one thing I would add, better said, the one thing this fix doesn’t have, (e.g., a fix I want implemented as soon as possible), is that there is nothing stopping a person from using a combination of those characters that make up the conditions, and although still considered valid phone numbers, inconsistent, nonetheless. For example, using a hyphen to make the first delimiter separation of numbers, followed by a space instead of a hyphen to make the next, or vice-versa, and so-on, and so-forth (i.e., 508-555 1212, 508555-1212, etc.). Are these valid phone number formats? Sure, but it’s the inconsistency of the data that might one day cause a conflict with this process or that process, even if the current build handles the issue gracefully like it does now.

I expect the 2023.0.0.22 release to have this final implementation. It will not be considered a bug fix. If anything, an update.

Bug 002. Password Resets Don't Work. I Don't Receive an Email and I also Get an Error Page.


Build: 2023.0.0.13
Date Reported:  
Date Bug Fixed: 

Current Workflow State: Completed


Users reported having issues with contacting the jSilvestri.com team initially. Then, however, the issue became a broader emailing issue. New visitors and existing users were having problems with things like doing a password reset, which is actually a more important issue and took priority.

The steps we had to take to replicate the issues are as follows:

  • Go to the Login page.
  • Click the Forget Password? link.
  • Fill out the Forget Password? form with the email associated to your account, as shown in Figure 1.1 below.
  • Click the Submit button to submit the form.
  • An Error page is displayed with a generic error message (by design), stating there was a problem with our last request, as shown in Figure 1.2 below.
  • There is NO email sent to the new visitor or existing user providing password reset instructions.

It ended up being an issue with Azure and a subscription service with respects to our primary Email API service. Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, Figure 1.3 & Figure 1.4 above shows the progress of change.


Now, as shown in Figure 1.3 above, if you are trying to reset your password and you submit the form with appropriate information, you should see a page that tells you an email was sent. Most importantly, you should now receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password as well, as shown in Figure 1.4 above.

Bug 001. Home Page Blog Posts Section Links Don't Work


Build: 2023.0.0.000
Date Reported:  
Date Bug Fixed: 

Current Workflow State: Completed


You have no idea how happy I am this is fixed! This problem has been around since the release of the jSilvestri.com web application. It also haunted my dreams. The issue was that no one could click links off to new blog posts. However, mobile device users could touch and click. The issue was on tablet and desktop computers in specific.


Figure 1.1: Before:

Jason Silvestri 2022 -Home Page Blog Post Issue - Before Shot

Figure 1.2: After:


Jason Silvestri 2022 -Home Page Blog Post Issue - After Shot

It ended up being a bug in a 3rd party helper script, Owl Carousel, and it took some serious digging and custom updates to the JavaScript original source code. Figure 1.1 & Figure 1.2 above shows the change.


Aside from the actual bug fix, I also cleaned up the post, including copy-writing, look and feel, content positioning and more, as shown in After shot, above.
