What is HTTP and how does it work? Hypertext Transfer Protocol

2 months ago | techtarget.com | Rahul Awati |Wesley Chai |Kevin Ferguson

HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a set of rules that govern how information will be transferred between networked devices, specifically web servers and client browsers. First developed between 1989 and 1991 by Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, HTTP is an application layer protocol whose older versions (prior to HTTP/3) ran on top of the TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol) suite of protocols.
What is No-Code? Everything You Need to Know

Mar 15, 2024 | techtarget.com | Paul Kirvan |Kevin Ferguson

What is no-code? No-code is a software development approach that requires few, if any, programming skills to quickly build an application, website or module that links into an existing system. This enables line of business (LOB) employees who have the necessary institutional knowledge and understand the business requirements for an app but lack knowledge of programming languages to create software applications, such as a form or website, or to add functionality to an existing site or app.
What are the challenges and benefits of ERP software?

Feb 7, 2024 | techtarget.com | Kevin Ferguson

What are the challenges of implementing ERP? Data security. When it comes to data security, ERP can be a blessing or a curse. On one hand, all your data is in one place where you can keep an eye on it. On the other hand, all your data is in one place where cybercriminals can look. If your ERP system is hosted in the cloud by a third party, which most of them are, you might not have complete control over your sensitive data. At the very least, the company hosting the software has access to your data.
The most important skills a server engineer needs

Jan 25, 2024 | techtarget.com | Kaitlin Herbert |Kevin Ferguson

Server engineers are in demand from cloud-based service providers as well as from enterprises that continue to host on-premises servers. Both cohorts are seeking similar mixes of soft and hard skills that blend specific technical expertise and great interpersonal communications. As of January 2024, ZipRecruiter reported that the average salary for a Windows Server engineer in the United States was $101,706. PayScale in January 2024 put the figure lower, at $71,253.
Tennis | House: Medical Imaging as Videographic Criticism

Dec 20, 2023 | openscreensjournal.com | Kevin Ferguson

Research StatementThe field of videographic criticism once again finds itself in a growth spurt, evidenced by the renewed parsing of terms and impassioned calls for boundary explorations at conferences and events over the past few pandemic years. Whether reckoning with the “video essay” in the YouTube mold, exploring the affective turn of fanvidding, or reacting to perceived gatekeeping of the purely “scholarly” (whatever that might mean) academic essay, videographic criticism is restless.
Two self-similar Reynolds-stress transport models with anisotropic eddy viscosity

Nov 15, 2023 | link.aps.org | Brandon Morgan |Kevin Ferguson |Britton Olson

Two Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes models with full Reynolds-stress transport (RST) and tensor eddy viscosity are presented. These new models represent RST extensions of the k−2L−a−C and k−ϕ−L−a−C models by Morgan [Phys. Rev. E 103, 053108 (2021); Phys. Rev. E 105, 045104 (2022)].
What is dependency injection in object-oriented programming (OOP)?

Mar 8, 2023 | techtarget.com | Robert Sheldon |Alexander Gillis |Kevin Ferguson

Dependency injection is a technique used in object-oriented programming (OOP) to reduce the hardcoded dependencies between objects. A dependency in this context refers to a piece of code that relies on another resource to carry out its intended function. Often, that resource is a different object in the same application. Dependencies within an OOP application enable objects to perform their assigned tasks by providing additional functionality.
Lessons learned optimizing Microsoft’s internal use of Azure

Jan 30, 2023 | azure.microsoft.com | Kevin Ferguson

At Microsoft, we learned a lot from moving our internal operations to Microsoft Azure, lessons we use to make our cloud products work better for our customers. As a top user of Azure, we understand our customers’ obstacles and constraints. Just like them, we’re under pressure to "do more with less" in these challenging fiscal times. As such, we're sharing our story of first migrating to Azure, and then optimizing our usage to bring our costs down.
