In this series, we'll do things just a little bit differently. Let's take a step back from our code editors and instead review some fundamental technology and software development terms. I'm willing to bet that there are certain bedrock terms that you somehow accidentally skipped over and never learned properly. Let's fix that! Each episode below will focus on a single topic, condensed to the essentials, and animated to perfection for your enjoyment.
