Acronyms & Abbreviations
The page title is in itself a joke (A&A). I believe the tech world has too many acronyms and I have created for myself a list of these acronyms together their translation and maybe an useful link. Hope it can prove useful for you too.
I will keep improving and adding to this table whenever I remember or come across a A&A which I haven’t on this list!
