Hello, my name is Ndolo Elimby. I am a Cameroonian and Nigerian born in Montreal. I am on my 3rd year of the Sciences program. My glossary will be for all the future software engineers. It will help solve problems such as hacking or unsolvable by hand ones. It can also help create numerous apps, sites and more. All the words are related to software engineering. In the glossary, there are 20 terms. There are nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. They all have their definition, pronunciation, translation, and example. Some of them have an image to deepen the understanding. I searched on the internet words related to my topic for the 4 types of speech. The definitions were searched thanks to writing tutor.
This glossary will help you be more comfortable in your future workplace, I invite you to read to be prepared.
