Developing software is more and more a collaborative activity where multiple experts interact for delivering a particular solution. Strictly talking about development and without including supporting activities, we can divide programmers as specialized in front-end development or back-end development. Let’s try to define these activities. We can define front-end-development as the practice of converting data…
What language should I learn? Would you like to understand the future of programming languages? Let’s start from the beginning: We can define computer programming as the process of developing and implementing various sets of instructions to enable a computer to do a certain task. Programming is a language and is subject, like any other…

If you are writing a thesis or a scientific article you can easily find yourself surrounded by scientific papers that you intend to cite in your document. As long as the list is below 10-ish resources it is relatively easy to manage. Problems start to arise…
Object Oriented Programming or OOP organizes code around the concept of objects, encapsulating data and functions within cohesive units. Object-Oriented Programming has permeated almost every facet of modern software development. Its principles and concepts are applied in diverse domains, from software architecture and frameworks to user interfaces, game development, real-time systems, and beyond. OOP’s ability…
Artificial neural networks (ANN) or simply “neural networks” are computing systems inspired by “classical biological” neural networks that are in animal brains. Typically an ANN “learn” to perform tasks by considering examples, without being programmed with task-specific rules. Image recognition is a classical example where neural networks are used; in particular they learn to identify images…
This is a curated collection of resources for becoming familiar with UML diagrams. In particular with Use Case Diagrams, Class Diagrams and Sequence diagrams.
