Yeah. But by the looks of it this team is purely for mobile devices.

With its continued focus on education, Google has launched Oppia (beta). The Open Source project is a free educational tool that lets anyone create online educational activities through the web interface. Interactivity is its strong suit. The interactive activities are called “explorations”. "We don't need no education"

Microsoft is currently experimenting with a free version of Windows 8.1 that could boost the number of people using the operating system. Sources familiar with Microsoft’s plans tell The Verge that the company is building "Windows 8.1 with Bing," a version that will bundle key Microsoft apps and services. Because "bundling" went so well for them in the past

Attempting to further encourage the use of the Git version control software in the enterprise, developer tools provider Atlassian has released a package to help managers harness the open source application for large coding projects. Git your Git! Onna Stick!
|
|
|
|
|
A 100-seat license of the package starts at $12,800 for on-site download or $600 per month for the hosted version on Atlassian OnDemand.
Don't you love how open-source is hijacked for big corporation commercialization?
That said, I recently was exposed to Stash and was very impressed with the documentation, less so with the actual UI, and of course, and not at all with the total lack of documented processes that the company I was consulting for (and am no more, I discovered I have absolutely no passion for the behind-the-scenes workings of a major cable company.)
I learned something (a few things actually) but one thing is, yes, Git is powerful, and the article is right, it IS a developer tool, not a manager tool, and it absolutely requires process documentation -- everyone uses it differently, and one has to know how the lead dev wants it used!

Yeah, those zeroes caught my eye as well. I'd compare it to TFS pricing but they make is so freaking difficult to just find the CAL pricing. Still, that's less than 1 license of VS Ultimate, so I'm guessing Atlassian will end up cheaper.
Ah, here we go[^]. $667CDN/user. Ouch.

Oh yeah. This is one majorish problem with Git, and probably why there are so many "use Git without using Git" tools out there: they just incorporate a process.

A new claim from noted Microsoft reporter Paul Thurrott states, via unnamed sources, that Windows 8.1 Update 1 will be made available to download April 8th for the general public. However, MSDN subscribers will still get access to the final build ahead of that date, although not as early as usual. Because I know you're all waiting for it

Fortune today released its annual ranking of the world’s most admired companies. Apple topped the charts yet again, but on the lower parts of the list something interesting happened: Microsoft fell from 17th in 2013, to 24th in 2014. Well maybe it can win Miss Congeniality

I got notice about the ?. operator on Tuesday since it was an enhancement I'd voted in favor of. I'm more ambivalent about the second one; since I've never gone constructor crazy setting a default there hasn't ever been a real problem for me. Not a complaint; but more wondering if there aren't bigger fish to fry.

Both will be a big boon for me. The default values will allow me to be consistent between using automatic properties or not.

Except in the case of interface implementation, I don't see the value of auto properties over data members if there aren't also other things to support the auto properties. Things such as "property changed notification", or invariants or pre/post conditions, etc

Not breaking the API when I need to add something like that in the future is worth making all public values properties even though I'd guess that probably >90% of them never go beyond public Foo Bar {get; set; }

Agreed. That's why I said "except in the case of interfaces"...

I do it universally even if I don't have an IMyClass because 99% of the time I only have a single implementation and until there're at least 2 implementations an interface is almost impossible to design that won't undergo major revision as soon as it's used for a second implementer.

Hmm, with auto properties that became more palatable, and now with allowing default value assignment it's even better (although, I don't see the big deal about setting the property in the ctor).
