Functional programming languages have become a bit of a hype. But the ideas are not really so new. The first languages beyond Assembly language that have maintained some relevance up to today were FORTRAN, COBOL and Lisp. Indirectly also Algol, because it inspired pretty much any modern mainstream programming language in some way through some …
Deutsch Many web pages are still created for desktop devices and optimized for a certain screen format. Often an additional effort is spent on adding some mobile capability on top of that. This tends to neglect the fact that viewing web pages with a mobile device is no longer an edge case, but quite a …

Almost every serious programming language has to deal with database access, if not out of love, then at least out of practical necessity. The theoretical background of a functional programming language is somewhat hostile to this, because pure functional langauges tend to dislike state and a database has the exact purpose to preserve state for …
It is a more and more common task that we need to have a date or maybe date with time as String. There are two reasonable ways to do this: * We may want the date formatted in the users Locale, whatever that is. * We want to use a generic date format, that is …

When using integers in C, Java or Scala, we often use what is called int. It is presented to us as the default. And it is extremely fast. Ruby uses by default arbitrary length integers. But what do +, – and * mean? We can rebuild them, in Ruby, kind of artificially restrict the integers …

Many software systems rely on some kind of unique numbers. Uniqueness is always a question in what universe this uniqueness is required. We do see the different kinds of universes in the case of the IP-addresses. In theory they are world wide unique. In practice we have mechanisms in place like NAT, that use certain …
