2 Where We’ve Been: Git as King 1 Git’s reign since 2005: distributed, flexible, battle-tested. 2 GitHub supercharged collaboration and open source. 3 Limitations emerging: complexity, large binary files, limited UX for non-devs. 3 Why Look Beyond Git? 1 Increasing non-developer contributors: designers, writers, marketers. 2 Need for real-time collaboration (think Google Docs). 3 Massive…
2 Introduction 1 Web development is evolving faster than ever. 2 Static vs dynamic is no longer the debate — it’s about speed, personalization, security, and intelligence. 3 Emerging trends like Jamstack, AI-driven development, Edge computing, and Web3 are shaping the next era. 3 Jamstack: Static Sites, Supercharged 1 What is Jamstack? JavaScript, APIs, and…
2 Introduction 1 Traditional DevOps focused on speed and collaboration. 2 Security was often an afterthought—plugged in late in the SDLC. 3 Enter DevSecOps: integrating security from Day 1. 3 What is DevSecOps? 1 Definition: A cultural and engineering approach that integrates security practices within the DevOps process. 2 “Shift left” mindset: Address security early…
2 Performance Like C/C++ — Without the Pain Rust offers system-level performance comparable to C and C++, but with modern tooling and a safer programming model. 1 Compiled to native code: It’s blazingly fast. 2 Memory safety without a garbage collector: Thanks to its powerful ownership system. Impact:Developers can build high-performance applications (like game engines,…
2 Democratizing Development One of the most revolutionary aspects of LC/NC platforms is their ability to empower non-developers (often called “citizen developers”) to build applications without needing to write code. 1 No-code tools (like Bubble, Glide, or Zapier) use visual interfaces, drag-and-drop builders, and prebuilt components. 2 Low-code platforms (like OutSystems, Mendix, or Microsoft Power…
2 What Are “Smart Devices”? Any internet-connected device that collects and transmits data qualifies: 1 Smart speakers (e.g. Alexa, Google Home) 2 Smart TVs 3 Fitness trackers and wearables 4 Home security cameras 5 Smart thermostats, fridges, lights, and appliances 6 Connected cars They bring convenience, but also data collection at a level we’ve never…
2 What Is Blockchain? (Quick Recap) Blockchain is a decentralized, immutable ledger that records transactions in a secure and transparent way. Each block of data is cryptographically linked to the previous one, making tampering extremely difficult. Think: no central authority, no single point of failure, and high transparency. 3 How Blockchain Enhances Online Security 4…
2 What is Cyber Hygiene? Think of cyber hygiene like personal hygiene—but for your digital life. It’s a set of ongoing practices and habits that keep your devices, data, and identities secure from threats. In 2025, cyber hygiene means more than just antivirus software—it’s about a proactive, layered defense against evolving threats like AI-powered phishing,…
2 What Are Deepfakes & Synthetic Media? 1 Deepfakes: Media—typically video or audio—manipulated using AI (usually deep learning) to swap faces, mimic voices, or alter behaviour. 2 Synthetic Media: A broader term for any media created or manipulated by AI, including deepfakes, AI-generated avatars, virtual influencers, and even text and music. 3 Powered by models…
2 What Is Zero Trust? Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model based on a simple but powerful principle: “Never trust, always verify.” Unlike traditional security models that assume everything inside a network is safe, Zero Trust assumes breach and treats every user, device, and application as potentially compromised—requiring continuous verification before granting access. 3 Key…
