Development Methodologies
Scrum	Iterative and incremental agile software development methodology for managing product development. It defines "a flexible, holistic product development strategy where a development team works as a unit to reach a common goal, challenges assumptions of the "traditional, sequential approach" to product development, and enables teams to self-organize by encouraging physical co-location or close online collaboration of all team members, as well as daily face-to-face communication among all team members and disciplines in the project. A key principle of scrum is its recognition that during production processes, the customers can change their minds about what they want and need, and that unpredicted challenges cannot be easily addressed in a traditional predictive or planned manner.
XP	Type of Agile software development methodology which is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to changing customer requirements. It includes: frequent "releases" in short development cycles, programming in pairs or doing extensive code review, unit testing of all code, avoiding programming of features until they are actually needed, a flat management structure, simplicity and clarity in code, expecting changes in the customer's requirements as time passes and the problem is better understood, and frequent communication with the customer and among programmers.
TDD	Software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: first the developer writes Automated Test Case that defines a desired improvement or new function, then produces the minimum amount of code to pass that test, and finally refactors the new code to acceptable standards.
BDD	Emerged from TDD. The idea is provide software development and management teams with shared tools and a shared process to collaborate on software development
Kanban	Kanban is a method for managing knowledge work with an emphasis on just-in-time delivery while not overloading the team members. In this approach, the process, from definition of a task to its delivery to the customer, is displayed for participants to see. Team members pull work from a queue. Kanban can mean a visual process-management system that tells what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce

Magic Keywords
Multithreading	Widespread programming and execution model that allows multiple threads to exist within the context of a single process
Concurrency	Several computations are executing simultaneously, and potentially interacting with each other.
Cloud computing	Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of internet-based computing, where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.
Distributed system	Software system in which components located on networked computers communicate and coordinate their actions by passing messages. Three significant characteristics of distributed systems are: concurrency of components, lack of a global clock, and independent failure of components
Security	Processes and mechanisms by which digital equipment, information and services are protected from unintended or unauthorized access, change or destruction
Caching	Cache is a component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster
Scalability	Ability of a system, network to handle a growing amount of work in a capable manner or its ability to be enlarged to accommodate that growth.The capability of a system to increase its total output under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added.
Availability	Guarantee that every request receives a response about whether it succeeded or failed
Performance optimization	Performance tuning is the improvement of system performance.
Failover	Failover is a backup operational mode in which the functions of a system component (processor, server, network, or database) are assumed by secondary system components when the primary component becomes unavailable.
Clustering	Grouping a set of objects in such a way that objects in the same group (called a cluster)
Redundant	Computer or network system components that are installed to back up primary resources in case they fail. Redundant data can protect a storage array against data loss in the event of a hard disk failure.
Robust	Ability of a computer system to cope with errors during execution
Refactoring	Restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior. Code refactoring may also resolve hidden, dormant, or undiscovered computer bugs or vulnerabilities in the system by simplifying the underlying logic and eliminating unnecessary levels of complexity.
Tuning	Improvement of system performance.
Internationalization (i18n)	Process of planning and implementing products and services so that they can easily be adapted to specific local languages and cultures. Internationalisation - an adaptation of the product for potential use virtually anywhere. Reduction of «i18n».
Localization (l10n)	Addition of special features for use in a particular region. «L10n», the number 10 - the number of letters between «L» and «n».
Accessibility (a11y)	Web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the Web
Asynchronous (Async) requests	Asynchronous is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the transmission has finished. Asynchronous is used to improve throughput, latency, and/or responsiveness.
Web sockets	Providing full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection. Web Socket protocol makes more interaction between a browser and a website possible, facilitating live content and the creation of real-time games.
