Frequently Asked Question

Software development is the process of designing, coding, testing, and maintaining software applications, enabling computers and systems to perform specific tasks with efficiency and precision

Agile and Waterfall are both Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) methodologies that have been widely adopted in the IT industry. The Waterfall framework was designed to enable a structured and deliberate process for developing high-quality information systems within the project scope.

Software engineering is undoubtedly challenging but equally rewarding. The field demands persistence, continuous learning, and a passion for problem-solving. Viewing challenges as opportunities for growth can transform the perceived difficulty into a fulfilling journey.

Software development is the process of designing and implementing a software solution to satisfy a user. The process is more encompassing than programming, writing code, in that it includes conceiving the goal, evaluating feasibility, analyzing requirements, design, testing and release.

Becoming a self-taught software engineer won't happen overnight. Before you land your first software engineer job, it can take months or years to learn all of the necessary skills, like programming languages, tools, and API design.

C++ was invented by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 to extend C, a procedural programming language, and offer programmers more control over memory and system resources. Since its inception, C++ has become the language of choice for building fast and reliable software.
