Open-sourcing some of my project code: Freshcard and MemoEasy

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Modern web development and software development in general for that matter wouldn't be possible without FOSS: free open source software. Whether it's web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, frontend frameworks like AngularJS or enterprise toolkits as for instance Spring, open source software is the solid foundation most modern software is built upon.

Leider ist der Eintrag nur auf English verfügbar.Following up on last week's post I've launched a product site / MVP for EstiMate: Software development effort estimation probably is one of the more difficult tasks in software development.

EstiMate tries to solve this problem with a measurable and reliable method for ...

Leider fehlt eine entsprechende Option im Online Banking System meiner Bank, also rief ich bei der Telefon Hotline an.

Auf meine Frage, warum diese ...
