Articles and guides from practicing developers. Learn new things, find solutions and implement your ideas.
Do you think Pascal is a thing of the past? What if it's the one that makes you stronger as a programmer? In this article, we will analyze why algorithms in Pascal train thinking better than ready-made Python libraries, and we will show a step-by-step plan for 7 days — from simple sorting to recursion and graphs.
We understand why schoolchildren on Pascal bypass Pythonists and Cishniks at programming olympiads. An honest comparison of the speed, convenience, and pitfalls of the three languages — with code examples, tables, and memes.
We understand why Pascal is not dead, why it is still chosen for teaching programming and how the "language of the last century" pumps the brain better than fashionable frameworks. With memes and on the case.
Tired of reading 500 pages of documentation? We are writing a working CLI tool in Go from scratch — from go mod init to the finished binary. No water, with memes and cross-compilation.
Stop putting it off. In 10 minutes you will write your first working script in Python — you will learn how to output text, get input from the user and write conditions. No 400-page theory, just code and practice. Inside you will find a mini-project "Guess the number", a cheat sheet and tips on how to continue your training.
We'll look at functions in Lua — from basic syntax to closures and vararg. Learn to write clean, reusable code instead of endless copy-paste. With examples, memes, and beginner pitfalls.
Let's get to know Luau in Roblox Studio from scratch: we will write three working scripts — the movement of an object along a sine wave, the reaction to the player's touch, and a combo script with animation and color change. No water, with memes and a syntax cheat sheet. Ideal for those who want to try game development but don't know where to start.
We compare the first programming experience in Lua, Python and JavaScript: installation, syntax, variables, loops and functions. We will analyze honestly and with memes - in which language it will be easiest for a beginner to write his first working script and not break halfway.
We analyze access logs in detail: what brute force, SQL injection and vulnerability scanning look like in real logs, what commands will help you find an attack in a minute and what to do when you find a suspicious one.
We analyze the three main pillars of API security in plain language and with code examples. Where developers make mistakes most often, how to work with tokens correctly, configure rate limiting and not let strangers access data — a checklist for every backend developer.
Why a "strong password" is an illusion of security, how hackers break into accounts in seconds, and what really protects in 2026: from password managers to Passkeys.
Understanding cryptography in simple language: what is hashing, why do we need salt, how encryption and TLS work. A practical guide for beginner developers with code examples — without formulas and boring stuff.
