Over the past six decades, operating systems have evolved progressively, advancing from basic systems to the complex and interactive operating systems that power today's devices. Initially, operating systems served as a bridge between the binary functionality of computer hardware, such as gate manipulation, and user-level tasks. Over the years, however, they have developed from simple batch job processing systems to more sophisticated process management techniques, including multitasking and time-sharing. These advancements have enabled modern operating systems to manage a wide array of comple ..read more

AI rapidly transforms industries by optimizing processes, enhancing data analytics and creating smarter, more efficient systems.

Low-code development platforms have changed the way people create custom business solutions, including apps, workflows, and copilots. These tools empower citizen developers and create a more agile environment for app development. Adding AI to the mix has only enhanced this capability. The fact that there aren't enough people at an organization that have the skills (and time) to build the number of apps, automations and so on that are needed to drive innovation forward has given rise to the low-code/no-code paradigm. Now, without needing formal technical training, citizen developers can leverag ..read more
