This is a very disturbing trend in the software industry (starting around mid 2000s). A person who knows programming semantics can code in any language, but because of over-reliance on frameworks and the hesitation to try and write deep cod

IMHO there is nothing wrong with hiding the source code. Infact it will save a lot of time for developers who do UI 'builds' in order to obfuscate or minify their js code. Binary webpage code was long due.

Very bad decision. Myntra's parent Flipkart is also pushing for something similar. Not every user in India has a smartphone to use apps. They will be losing a lot of customers (like my mom, aunt, grandpa, etc) who can use websites but

IN such scenario, 'near' realtime would work just fine. Just process the impressions through storm or spark and put the results in HBase (CP type store) or even PostgreSQL.

Be what it may, MS is still a great tech company. Windows many not be very good for computing in general but it still is the OS that we write reports on and play games on. And its stability with home computers is unmatched by linux (the kin

Looks great! Will surely use it for my next project. Few suggestions: 1. Implement multiple ways to login (and charge accordingly) e.g Keyfile based, Color combination based, Biometric based, etc. 2. Do cross-platform API. I know you might
