Octo · fields of application
An Octo for every technical sector, with your manager in charge.
Software engineering is where Octo was born. Each field brings together pages on the software and the stages of work in that sector: what Octo can do, by which route, and what is confirmed in a source published by the vendor, the project or the responsible agency.
The fields.
