Reading scientific cyber security literature is crucial for continuous development and learning. Engaging with research papers often leads to new insights or a deeper perspective on a subject.
The paper titled “PyPitfall: Dependency Chaos and Software Supply Chain Vulnerabilities in Python” (arXiv: 2507.18075) captured my attention. Authored in 2025 by researchers from the Computer Science Department at the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
(more…)This book is NOT another Python learning book. This book simplifies software development using the Python programming language. So with all key references included that professional programmers use. This Playbook is created to be used daily.
(more…)Creating simple IT solutions is challenging, but that doesn’t mean your product has to be difficult to use. Too often, we are confronted with seemingly simple tasks like creating a document, ordering a ticket, booking a hotel, or completing a mandatory government form online. Why do these simple tasks turn out to be a nightmare and time sink?
(more…)Nobody ever asks for a complex IT solution. We all love simple IT solutions.
(more…)We all have used Ms Excel. Or still do. Companies love Ms Excel or store information in databases.
A common challenge is: How to find duplicate row items?
(more…)In order to solve complex IT problems new technology can help.
Almost everyone in tech agrees that Large Language Models (like ChatGPT) are a generational change in what we can do with software. It feels like the blockchain and bitcoin hype all over again.
(more…)JupyterLab is a web-based user interface for Project Jupyter. It provides an interactive development environment for software engineers and scientists to work with Jupyter Notebooks, code, and data.
(more…)Soon 2019 is over and a new decade with new IT innovations will start again. For simple effective problem solving learning from the past is crucial. What worked well and why? What great promising IT technology did not meet the expectations promised?
(more…)I am a fan of continuous learning. So if possible I go to meetups, conferences, seminars and open space meetings to listen and learn of peers in the digital space. So I went on an evening in September 2019 towards a talk regarding SOLID programming principles. From the very well organized meetup this evening by the company Working Spirit I left with some hard questions and some observations.
(more…)Maybe you have noticed it. Privacy is an issue. A bit strange since there are only 6 days left until the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will become fully enforceable throughout the European Union.
So before end of May 2018 all organizations that process data of EU citizens must comply with this General Data Protection Regulation. Determining how to design and improve your systems to meet the GDPR is not straightforward. Since real objective information on digital trends is always hard to find a common perception is that blockchain technology is an easy solution for solving privacy challenges. (more…)
