About these flashcards

This flashcard set helps learn English at the university level, focusing on technical vocabulary and IT-related terms. The cards cover a wide range of concepts, from software development methodologies like Agile and Waterfall to networking terms like VPN and WAN, and programming languages such as Python and Ruby. With the "answer first" learning setting, you can reverse the learning direction – from the target language to the source language. This set is ideal for students or professionals in IT, software development, or related fields, offering a comprehensive resource for expanding technical vocabulary and understanding complex IT concepts.
