There are many programming languages. But when should which language be used? Familiarity with the two fundamental programming paradigms in software development makes that decision easier. Imperative programming is the oldest paradigm and is still being used today. Our overview outlines what an imperative programming language can do and what its limits are.
Functional programming continues to play a key role today – more than 60 years after its initial use in the LISP interpreter . As a subfield of declarative programming ("What should the program achieve?"), its strength lies in the processing of mathematical tasks – in particular, that of algorithms. In this article, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages alongside a practical example.
HTML5 is the new core language of the internet. But many web developers have opted out of this version and instead still use older markup languages like HTML 4.01 or XHTML. These often require plugins, reducing the site’s compatibility and security. HTML5, on the other hand, supports the direct integration of multimedia elements as well as JavaScript-based programming interfaces.
Programs and websites are based on comprehensive documents without which nothing would work: the source code. In this code, programmers and web designers determine how their application should function. So that you, too, can understand what exactly a source code is, we explain simply and clearly how it’s structured. Find out more about programming languages, compilers, and the framework of a...
If you want to upload an app to the Google Play Store and are close to achieving that goal – your Android application is ready in the release version, and now set to find its way onto as many mobile devices as possible – there are still a few small steps left. Submitting an app to Google’s official app store may take some time. Among other things, you will also need to create accounts with various...
When Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, the group published the first jailbreak for the phone’s operating system iOS in the same year. Through the years, similar workarounds have been released for various follow-up models and other Apple devices to access the blocked administrator rights. What exactly does this involve? What are the advantages and disadvantages of an iPhone jailbreak?
Operating systems on mobile devices are easy to install and just as easy to use. With Android and other operating systems, access to the administrator account is locked by default in order to guarantee long-term security and stability. By rooting your tablet or phone, you can lift this block and unlock many additional administration possibilities.
A common complaint when it comes to software development: the lengthy integration phase at the end, including troubleshooting that can be quite laborious. Continuous integration eliminates this tedious process by providing granular, continuous integration. Each new function is inserted directly into the code base – sometimes several times a day. The team is therefore always up to date and can...
[Teaser] Scripting languages play a vital role in developing web projects with dynamic elements. Scripts are a fundamental component for breathing life into static HTML, using movement and interactive elements. This can be executed and interpreted from either the web server (i.e. server-side script) or from the browser (client-side script). But what exactly are the differences between server-side...
Meta tags are used by website owners to specify metadata in HTML documents. The coded information integrates with web browsers and search engine crawlers to enhance the searchability of a website. But which meta elements are actually required by user agents to improve processing? And how can you use metadata to boost your website’s ranking in the search results?
