API automation is leading the way for data-driven digital transformation. When developers are able to build modern applications for a variety of devices without having to manage server-side code and complexity, and other departments can tap into a well-designed API documentation system instead of a silo of cumbersome, unorganized code bases, your company will be well on its way to an API-first delivery model.

Graphic design is the art through which messages and ideas are communicated visually. Graphic design is also known as communication design and refers to the way designers connect with people through graphics or images. Elements of graphic design such as color, line, shape, space, texture, etc., influence the perception of consumers and viewers. Graphic design is a field that has an impact in various fields around the world.

Building stable and robust software is one of the primary goals of any software development project. While it is crucial to keep your code error-free for that, the real strength of your application comes from its foundation—the architecture of your code. SOLID is one of the most popular collections of software design principles. Its goal is to help you avoid common pitfalls and plan your application’s architecture from a very high level.

Following up on an earlier blog post where we discussed what is product lifecycle management for semiconductors, in this blog we will delve deeper into the challenges that PLM presents for a semiconductor design environment. Although PLM tools have seen some success in industries such as defense, automobile, aerospace, and others with large design teams and well-established methodologies, the adoption rate in the semiconductor space has been slow.

In this guide, we'll discuss what a database schema is, six database schema designs, and how and why they are used. We know a lot of thought goes into database construction. Before creating any database, developers plan what it should include and how the different aspects work together. This planning ensures a database has the necessary design for its intended use. Coders then use the schema to implement the database’s design.

Learn how to design normalized schemas that make life easier for analysts and data engineers.

Modern business requires a range of digital components to communicate effectively when transferring data and delivering critical messages. Application programming interfaces, or APIs, are sets of rules that regulate exactly how certain apps or machines connect. If you work with data at all, you’ll have heard of REST or RESTful, and REST APIs — but what is REST API design? We explain below.

Earlier this year, Perforce hosted the Embedded DevOps Summit, exploring solutions to modern challenges in the planning, development, and testing stages of embedded software. As part of this event, Warren Savage, Visiting Researcher at the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) at the University of Maryland, presented Secure Collaboration in Cloud-Based Chip Design Environments.

Over the past few years, many organizations have experienced the benefits of migrating their SAP solutions to Google Cloud. But this migration can do more than reduce IT maintenance costs and make data more secure. By leveraging BigQuery, SAP customers can complement their SAP investments and gain fresh insights by consolidating enterprise data and easily extending it with powerful datasets and machine learning from Google.

Hardware design typically entails teams of many designers with a wide range of disciplines. Each of these designers manage a different aspect of the project, maybe with different workflows, and generate a large amount of diverse data. Data management tools like Helix Core manage a substantial portion of this data. In this blog, find out how these tools are best used with an IP lifecycle management platform like Methodics IPLM to solve the unique challenges for hardware design projects.
