What's SAP? And why is it worth $163B? Every year companies spend $41B on enterprise resource planning software, commonly known as ERP. Today, almost every large business has some sort of ERP system implemented. But most smaller businesses generally don’t purchase any ERP system off the shelf, and most
Increasingly popular in the last couple of years, I think 2020 is going to be the year of “no code”: the movement that say you can write business logic and even entire applications without having the training of a software developer. I empathise with people doing this, and I think some of the “no code” tools are great. But I also thing it’s wrong at heart.
A cartoon intro to WebAssembly - Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
WebAssembly is a way of taking code written in programming languages other than JavaScript and running that code in the browser. So when people say that WebAssembly is fast, what ...
I recently picked up Crafting Interpreters. The project guides programmers through building their own interpreters for the Lox programming language. The first two chapters discuss what compilers an…
In this blog post we’ll go through a sample implementation of a type checker, interpreter and a transpiler for a basic purely functional programming language, which is based on the lambda calculus. We will do a “full-stack” programming language development by going through formal definition of the language’s syntax, semantics and type system. After that we’ll demonstrate how we can “translate” these definitions to JavaScript. Although the article doesn’t require any mathematical background, it’ll be useful to have high-level understanding of how compilers work.
Shohini Ghose: Quantum computing explained in 10 minutes
A quantum computer isn't just a more powerful version of the computers we use today; it's something else entirely, based on emerging scientific understanding -- and more than a bit of uncertainty. Enter the quantum wonderland with TED Fellow Shohini Ghose and learn how this technology holds the potential to transform medicine, create unbreakable encryption and even teleport information.
In computer science, an algorithm is an unambiguous specification of how to solve a class of problems. Algorithms can perform calculations, data processing and automated reasoning tasks.
An in-depth description of the microservice style of architecture. Applications designed as suites of independently deployable services, governed in a decentralized manner.
