In recent years, digitalisation has shown us how quickly and extensively change can occur in the economy and society. A successful transformation requires rapid adaptations to environmental conditions and places high demands on innovative ability. But the biggest obstacle is the shortage of skilled workers. This blog post will describe where the shortage of skilled workers is particularly noticeable and the consequences it might entail.

In general, a professional programmer is someone who has a high level of expertise in one or more programming languages and is able to utilise that expertise to design, develop and maintain software systems or applications. When do most people begin their profession? How long do they work in their profession? How do they train, and which programming language pays best in terms of salary? We will answer these questions in our blog post.

Easily produce your own solar power from your balcony? And do it without much effort? Thanks to what are known as balcony power plants, anyone can now produce solar power for personal consumption. In our blog post, you will find out how it works, what advantages and disadvantages balcony power plants have and what we as tenants have to keep in mind.

Recent developments show that artificial intelligence (AI) can produce amazing results. Today, we see new tools almost daily that aim to do just that: To create things. Where the journey is going and what impact the use of AI has on the creative industry, I show in my blog post.

Are software developers simply ‘manufacturers’ or engineers? Should new software just work, or should it add value, too? This blog post will introduce the Manifesto for Software Craftsmanship in order to answer these questions.

The German energy transition is pursuing the goal that the share of electricity consumed from renewable energies should be at least 80 per cent by 2030. But can renewable energies also reliably generate electricity in the cold, dark depths of winter when outside is a never-ending barrage of rain, ice and snow? To what extent do these factors impact the power plants and what solutions are out there? In this blog post, we will take a look at the most important influences and impacts on renewable energies.

The expansion of photovoltaic plants needs to be accelerated to make the energy transition a success. But with an increasing lack of suitable land, the question arises whether to use it for agriculture or to generate electricity. Agrophotovoltaics allows areas of land to be used for two purposes simultaneously: photovoltaic modules on stilts generate electricity and at the same time, the land beneath them can be used for agriculture. But how does it work and what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Clouds are changing the way we run and develop software. Many of the limitations that used to exist are no longer an issue when we embrace cloud-native approaches. This, together with new influencing factors such as costs, has an impact on our software architectures. In my blog post, I will explain what new services the cloud provides.

The German Online Access Act (Onlinezugangsgesetz, OZG), which was adopted in 2017, was intended to provide support for digitalisation and make a number of the administrative services provided by the German federal government and the German states electronically accessible by the end of 2022 – including in the healthcare system. But how does this look in practice? What has already been done and where is there still room for improvement? I will answer these questions in my blog post.
