This paper discusses the issue of comparing Java and Kotlin technologies based on the web application framework. The criteria taken into account for testing purposes are: execution time, memory usage, CPU load, database response in set time. A series of tests and their in-depth comparative analysis are carried out. For this case, tests and code analysis were carried out to draw comparative conclusions. The performance in terms of web frameworks, database response speed and tests implementation in different languages - in all these Kotlin proved to be less efficient. There is no significant difference between CPU load between individual easurements, the difference does not exceed 2%. Implementation in the Kotlin language has never achieved the best result in any group of measurements.

The aim of the article was to analyze selected methods of creating artificial intelligence in a popular card game. Two experiments were conducted: with a human and with a computer. The following algorithms were analyzed: random, min-max, based on a neural network, statistical and statistical with the use of "cheating" technique. The examined parameters were as follows: efficiency, execution time, number of implementation code lines, implementation time and training duration. The indicator with the greatest impact on the selection of the most optimal method was efficiency. The research has shown no difference in efficiency for the neural network-based algorithm and the statistical algorithm. In other cases, the differences in this feature were significant. The use of the "cheating" technique has increased the efficiency.

In recent years multithreaded processing has become a important programming aspect. Computers with a multi-core processor are now widely available, enabling the creation of more efficient applications. Many libraries support multithreaded solutions, but performance information is often lacking. The use of appropriate data structures and algorithms significantly speeds up the process of creation and development of applications. Article describes selected elements of the Qt and STL library and compares their performance in concurrent programming. The time needed to perform individual operations was analysed.

Subject of security the most popular CMS platforms has been undertaken in the following thesis. There were introduced fundamental informations about subject CMS platforms and vulnerability scanners utilised to research. For research purposes Wordpress and Joomla websites were created and investigated for security by vulnerability scanners OWASP ZAP, Vega, Detectify and Skipfish. Results were grouped by some criteria: vulnerabilities by category and vulnerabilities by threat level. Obtained results were examined in two ways: analysis of residual results, for each website scanning and analysis of aggregated results from all scanners. After that, conclusions about CMS platforms security have been drawn.

The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of selected IT tools supporting the management of a distributed IT team in companies from the IT sector. The research was carried out using two methods: scientific experiment (implementation of a test project in the tested tools) and comparative analysis (assessment of tools from the side of management and contractors of a distributed team according to the proposed criteria). The research results were aimed at choosing the best solutions that could be implemented to manage a distributed team in IT sector companies.

This article is devoted to the comparison of two object-relational mapping systems supported by .NET platform - Entity Framework Core and NHibernate. The research hypothesis “framework NHibernate is more efficient than Entity Framework Core in the context of DML operations” was put forward. In order to make an efficiency analysis of ORM frameworks, a desktop application was designed and implemented to enable testing and visualization of results. The NHibernate framework turned out to be much more efficient than Entity Framework Core in single tests and slightly faster in bulk tests. The stability of both frameworks was similar.

JSON parser, that has been developed, is made of two modules, each dedicated to process structure of either an object or an array. In both modules, building step of document model, that represents its structure, is combined with tokenization step. Design and development of algorithm is aimed at improving speed of parsing of documents.

The aim of the study was to compare the performance of two data exchange styles commonly used in web applications, i.e. REST and GraphQL. For the purposes of the study two test applications were developed containing the same functionalities, one of which was REST and the other one was GraphQL. They were used for performance tests done with the help of the JMeter tool, during which measurements of the total processing time of requests and the volume of data downloaded and sent were performed. An experiment was developed that tested the basic operations found in most network services: display, add, update, and delete data. The most attention was devoted to the information display operation in the case of which load tests were done. On the basis of performed studies and obtained results, no differences in performance during the operation of adding, editing and deleting data by applications based on REST API and GraphQL were found. During the display operation under heavy load conditions and while downloading small portions of data, the service using GraphQL had a better performance. When downloading large portions of data, the REST-based service exhibited a higher performance.
