by Tega AkuruliThe SaaS platforms that we have today are built on a rich ecosystem. We have open-source libraries, cloud infrastructures, third-party APIs, and payment gateways that all work together to power dozens, if not hundreds, of different products. While this ecosystem helps to speed up development and...
by Tega AkuruliIn a SaaS world, a new feature going live is considered a success. However, when this new feature garners no interest from users, the initial hype vanishes quickly. The mere presence of a new feature at a SaaS company does not necessarily mean that it is being used. The analytics page of a SaaS...
by Tega AkuruliWhy Understanding Tech Terminology Matters The technology industry is changing at a rapid pace. Tools change, frameworks come and go, and new abstractions replace old ones nearly yearly. Despite the quick evolution, the core language of technology, though the terminologies describing concepts,...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding VFX and Its Role VFX are added digitally to films, television, video games, and media to create imagery that one cannot capture in reality because it would be impossible or highly impractical. Unlike traditional practical effects, VFX uses a great deal of computer-generated...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding Motion Graphics in Education Motion graphics generally refer to animated visual elements that integrate text, images, and graphics to bring across dynamic ideas. Unlike their static counterparts, motion graphics meld multiple senses, making information easier to comprehend and...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding Graphics Programming Graphics programming represents the process of creating visual content by means of coding. Unlike regular software development, it deeply intersects with mathematics, algorithms, and hardware optimization. Be it the creation of video games, simulations, visual...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding Scientific Visualization Scientific visualization is described as the activity of mapping, processing, and rendering information from complicated data through graphics. Whereas traditional graphics emphasized aesthetics, scientific visualization focuses on clarity, accuracy, and...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding Shaders Shaders are tiny programs informing the GPU on how to render images, perform lighting calculations, and manipulate pixels and vertices. Invisible to the users for the most part, shaders form part of the basis for creating realistic, immersive, and dynamic digital...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding GPU Computing Graphics processing units are normally associated with gaming and visual effects, although their use in modern computing exceeds the rendering of pixels by far. The GPU is a special processor built for parallel computations, enabling it to do thousands of operations...
by Tega AkuruliUnderstanding Procedural Graphics Procedural graphics are images or visual effects that are algorithmically rather than manually created. Instead of designing every detail by hand, developers and artists define rules, parameters, and formulas, and the system generates visuals on its own. The...
