Software industries are evolving
If you are in the tech industry, you know how quickly things change. There is no denying the fact that businesses that are able to adapt themselves to such changes are far more likely to succeed and stay ahead of the competition. Today we are going to talk about the top 5 trends in technology that will shape the future of software development.
1. Containerization
Application containerization is an operating system–level virtualization method used to deploy and run distributed applications without the need to launch virtual machine learning for each app. Containers essentially work as a way of packaging software. Running containers is thus predictable, repeatable, and immutable. Docker and Kubernetes are container technologies that help you run applications within Linux containers. Many organizations have already adopted this thread. In a few years, it will be uncommon to see people not using containers.
2. Functional programming
In Computer Science, a functional programming refers to the style of building structures and elements of computer programs by considering computation as the evaluation of mathematical functions without changing state and mutable data. Functional programming language is still in its infancy and hasn’t gained widespread acceptance. With Elm and Facebook’s ReasonML, however, more developers are adopting functional programming.
3. Multiplatform UI development
Today there are very few solutions that help us develop a single web-based frontend for both iOS and Android. Multiplatform UI development will become essential in the near future because developing individually for different platforms is definitely inefficient.
4. Software to build software
Smaller companies often find themselves in a situation where they need to pitch a concept but they don’t have the programming knowledge to code a prototype. Software to build new software and mockups will be an important step to remedy the situation. It would narrow the gap between a concept/idea and the actual product. Such software will make showing proof of concepts affordable. It would be a godsend for startups.
5. Human behavior modeling
Yet another promising trend in programming will be in the sphere of human behavior modeling. Algorithms to replicate human behavior outcomes such as shopping decisions will completely change the face of digital marketing. Predictive algorithms could also help in law enforcement and crime prevention.
6. Customer experience is key
Artificial intelligence (AI) is already an important role in developing software that is user-friendly, and will remain a critical component of digital transformation. As user experience plays a huge factor in determining the success of software, businesses will have no choice but to continuously test new innovations.

4 digital solutions to address common application performance issues
High network latency, memory leaks, slow page loads, heavy CPU usage, and unresponsive servers are all typical performance issues we’ve experienced at some point when using or accessing digital applications. With how easy they occur in projects across verticals, you might be wondering whether the development teams behind these programs have done enough due diligence prior to the release. But human errors and oversight aren’t always the culprit. The reality is that while developers can strive to develop a fully functioning program with virtually no apparent faults upon delivery, no software is truly error-free. Even the most rigorously tested applications

5 major roadblocks businesses must overcome when transitioning into a new software environment
As the business landscape becomes increasingly saturated, staying ahead of the curve often means embracing disruptive technologies to meet the fickle market demands.

A global survey by Deloitte has found that although 87% of companies manage to identify the impact of digital trends on their industries, only 44% have adequately prepared for the coming disruptions. This vast disconnect between organizational expectations and conditions in the field
Is cloud computing the answer to better software development?
Cloud computing is perhaps not a term often heard in daily conversations, but it is one with a far-reaching impact on our technological needs. From expansive options of online data storage to numerous suites of web-based productivity tools like Google Workspace, nearly everyone has used a cloud-enabled technology. Over the last decade, this high degree of versatility also underpins the rapid cloud uptake among businesses. In fact, one survey has found that 94% of companies have already shifted their computing workloads on cloud platforms to varying extents. Unsurprisingly, the market size for cloud technology continues to grow exponentially. With a
