Trees in SQL:

Another way of representing trees is to show them as nested sets. Because SQL is a set-oriented language, this model is a better than the usual adjacency list approach you see in most textbooks.

Responsiv design gör appar onödiga:

Allt fler svenska webbutvecklare börjar haka på en typ av webbutveckling som kommer bli allt vanligare i framtiden. I många fall kan det göra utvecklingen av appar för olika mobilplattformar onödig.
