Scrum Estimation is one of the hardest parts of managing a Scrum project. You never want to oversell the amount of work you can do, but you also don’t want to look lazy for the amount of work you plan for. It’s important to understand exactly how the estimation scale works and adjust accordingly.

Eve: Why Using a Bloated Backend When You Can REST?
by Lukas Stracke, Backend Developer at Inovum Solutions, 09.02.18
Consider following situation: You want to develop a web application with a nice, beautiful UI and a database to store information. Obviously the way to go is to apply the MVC pattern and divide your app into database, frontend and backend. Maybe you design your frontend in AngularJS because it’s dynamic and comfortable to maintain and want to connect to the MongoDB where you store your data. The traditional way would be to design a big backend, e.g. using the Java web framework Spring. But what, if you don’t need all of the features that Spring offers you? Why using a complex framework that needs a lot of time to get used to and hours or even days to configure if you need the backend only for validation and authentication?

You have probably heard of blockchains. The technique, strongly connected to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, is currently among the biggest trends in the tech industry. But what is a blockchain and how can it be used?

Blockchains are mainly used in peer-to-peer networks as a distributed, shared write-once-read-many database.

Digital transformation is on the rise and no industry is immune
A model to follow: How Uber revolutionized transport
Uber, an American tech company that enables customers to call, track, and pay for a car using the Uber app, exemplifies how the aforementioned adapt-or-die phenomenon is changing entire industries.

VR and AR: Redefining the Human Experience
Have you ever wanted to travel to the edge of the Universe or walk amongst the dinosaurs? Virtual and augmented reality can offer a glimpse of what such an experience would be like. Virtual reality (VR) is an artificial simulation designed to replicate reality, however the physical constraints of the real world do not apply in this digital world. VR is typically simulated using a special headset equipped with digital images, vibrations, and sounds that totally immerse the user in a virtual world. With augmented reality (AR), digital layering is used to supplement reality by blending the digital and real worlds into an enhanced reality. For example, a car windshield could be programmed to display GPS directions or glasses could display relevant information when a user looks at a store, piece of art, or even another person. (more…)
