Technology is MMGood

     The app that I've chosen is TAP The App, which is an app I use frequently for my pool team. It is designed to not only track your statistics as a competitive player, but also to do live scoring during matches. When scoring, there are a variety of options to choose from based on the play made by the shooter; the options chosen then feed into the stats for the player.

With the growth of the internet, servers and clients no longer need to be in the same place, they can be anywhere in the world. Users can now access server functionality straight from the browser (AWS, 2023, n.p.). "Today, app developers have to write the same software in different languages. They also test, package, and deploy the same softw...
