When the other choice is bad (as you eluded that they chose the good option) then they got not much of a choice isn't it? Treat the non .net platform as a second class citizen and their potential customers will smell that from far away

They got no choice. They realized that if they don't do these moves their platform is dying. But let's scope the discussion just around this announcement. Majority of the topics here are around azure for non-.net market. There&#x2

I can't believe they did this kind of thing in 1999 - 2002 for WebSphere. That is the era where Enterprise Java, XML, and SOAP took off and App Server was selling pretty hot. Having said that, the 1999/2000 dotcom bust is differen

I'm using a very old Macbook White (MB 5,2 model) running Ubuntu 14.04 natively with no OSX in it [0]. Everything runs great but need to install the driver for iSight (easy to do). I'm very happy with the setup. Something worth to

Anyone knows a good desktop app to organize photo like Picasa that works for Windows/Linux/OSX? Specifically there are a few things I like from Picasa: 1. Import files to folder based on picture dates e.g.: c:\pictures\2016-02-12\

I know a company that pays fresh-grad $70k-$75k base salary with 10-15% bonus almost guaranteed base on company performance (there's a calculation behind it but the bonus amount is part of your package). Microsoft, Amazon, starting sal

That's a lifestyle issue. No fresh grad ($60k) should live in "trendy" Yaletown district with 2 BR + 2 Bath.

It's not that simple I think. For example, in the framework front, you guys argued that React is way better than Angular. I don't even know what's going on with Ember.js, Vue.js (fine, I'll give that this one is very new

Those are definitely the issues that drove me nuts too. Although if the community grew to the level of Spring Framework, I doubt integrating with 3rd party would be such a big issue.

Not too long ago Google use GWT for INBOX which brings familar face back to the community, notably Cromwell. Maybe that's the reason behind some contribution from Google.

Looks really cool except Part 2 where the ceremonious setup for the front-end part really point out the issue with JS right now. Other than that, great work!

Keep in mind Sails has stagnated and there's a fork called TrailJS now. The NodeJS 3rd-party ecosystem is really really fragile at the moment.

Sorry but I don't feel that way. I've been using Java since 2008 and have worked with other engineers. Nobody would want to write more code than it has to be. I also don't see tutorials or books that create too many layers fo
