What is this?
QamoosTech explains the English vocabulary of software work: code and architecture, daily team talk, emails with clients, and the words you meet in courses and documentation. Each term has a clear definition, where you hear it, real examples, a common mistake, and pronunciation.
- Arabic first (simple Modern Standard Arabic), English second. More languages are welcome.
- 732 terms in 14 categories and 38 subcategories, from beginner to intermediate.
- Natural pronunciation audio: 436 of 732 terms so far (about 40 more added each day), with the browser's built-in voice as a fallback for the rest.
- A fast static website with RTL support, light and dark themes, and instant search in both languages.
