Fundamental Programming Concepts

Parallel System

Parallel systems deal with the simultaneous use of multiple computer resources that can include a single computer with multiple processors, a number of computers connected by a network to form a parallel processing cluster or a combination of both.

Accessibility (a11y)

Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web.

Asynchronous (Async) Requests

Asynchronous is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the transmission has finished. Asynchronous is used to improve throughput, latency, and/or responsiveness.

Asynchronous I/O

Asynchronous I/O is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the transmission has finished.

Availability

Guarantee that every request receives a response about whether it succeeded or failed.

Caching

Cache is a component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster.

Concurrency

Several computations are executing simultaneously, and potentially interacting with each other.

Data binding

The process of creation a connection between UI of a client application and business logic, it binds data sources from the provider and consumer together and synchronizes them. 

 

Data migration

The process of transferring data between data storage systems, data formats or computer systems, used to replace/upgrade servers or storage equipment, to conduct server maintenance or to relocate a data center, for a website consolidation,

Distributed System

Software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. Three significant characteristics of distributed systems are: concurrency of components, lack of a global clock, and independent failure of components.

Failover

A backup operational mode in which the functions of a system component (processor, server, network, or database) are assumed by secondary system components when the primary component becomes unavailable.

High-Performance Computing

A technology where supercomputers are used to aggregate power for higher performance than an ordinary desktop can provide, hence it is also called supercomputing. HPC is used for advanced analysis, modelling and simulation in multidisciplinary fields, such as Biosciences, Climate Modelling and Electronic Design Automation.

Internationalization (i18n)

Process of planning and implementing products and services so that they can easily be adapted to specific local languages and cultures. Internationalisation - an adaptation of the product for potential use virtually anywhere. Reduction of "i18n".

Localization (l10n)

Addition of special features for use in a particular region. «L10n», the number 10 - the number of letters between "L" and "n."

Memory management

A process of controlling and coordinating computer memory. Handles or manages primary memory and moves processes back and forth between main memory and disk during execution. Resides in hardware, in the OS, and in programs and applications.

Multithreading

Widespread programming and execution model that allows multiple threads to exist within the context of a single process.

Performance optimization

Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance.

Redundancy

Computer or network system components that are installed to back up primary resources in case they fail. Redundant data can protect a storage array against data loss in the event of a hard disk failure.

Refactoring

Restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior. Code refactoring may also resolve hidden, dormant, or undiscovered computer bugs or vulnerabilities in the system by simplifying the underlying logic and eliminating unnecessary levels of complexity.

Robust

Ability of a computer system to cope with errors during execution.

Scalability

Ability of a system, network to handle a growing amount of work in a capable manner or its ability to be enlarged to accommodate that growth.The capability of a system to increase its total output under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added.

Security

Processes and mechanisms by which digital equipment, information and services are protected from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction.

Thread

A part of a program that can perform separately from other parts. 

Tuning

Improvement of system performance.

WebSockets

Providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. Web Socket protocol makes more interaction between a browser and a website possible, facilitating live content and the creation of real-time games.
