Using input adapters to allow driving operations

You probably may have heard that if there's something we can always count on, it's that things will always change. And when we talk about technology changes, that statement is even stronger. We live in an era where computers are not so expensive as they used to be in the past. No matter whether we're dealing with desktops, mobile, or cloud computing, year by year, computer resources, in general, become cheaper and more accessible to everyone. This accessibility means that more people tend to be involved and can collaborate with software development initiatives.

That growing collaboration results in newer programming languages, tools, and development frameworks to support the creative effort to solve people's problems with better and modern solutions. In this innovative and technological heterogeneous context, a good amount of current software development is made. One of the concerns that arises when developing...
