Over the past several years, we have seen Microsoft hit the reset button on several of its major platforms including Windows Phone, Windows and now Xbox. The first big reset came when the company decided to abandon Windows Mobile and push forward with Windows Phone. When in doubt, Ctrl-Alt-Del

Microsoft showed off new Office features at TechEd 2014, but some of them will never be available to customers who don't embrace the cloud version of the software suite, Office 365, and the company will take its time bringing others to market for Office Server users. It's a shame no one will use those features

Forcing people to the cloud... Do you want people to move away from Office? Because, that's how you get people to move away from Office.

What a shame I do not use Office...I will have to see for something else to take me to the 'cloud'...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

The only things mentioned are likely to make me avoid the cloud version even more strenuously. I have used Word since 2.0 for DOS, updating as time went by and recently changed to Word 2010 on all my machines. It has everything I need, already has a lot I don't - so I ignore that "feature" or don't install it if possible (What to I need Spanish proofing for?) and I am happy. Who needs a cloud version? I use SkyDrive (or whatever it has renamed itself to recently), Google Drive and Dropbox for various and sundry file sharing and on-line backups. They work fine.

Being a Java programmer and Software developer, I have learned a lot from articles titled as What Every Programmer Should Know about ..... , they tend to give a lot of useful and in-depth information about a particular topic, which otherwise is very hard to discover. That's 0xA, not in binary

Funny there isn't an article on Multi-Threading in the list. I suppose not every programmer needs to know about this?

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Thankyou for the link but I don't need an article on Multi-Threading. In this list of "10 articles every programmer must read" there was a useless (to the majority of programmers but perhaps useful to a very few) article on SEO. It seemed a little out of place to have the rarely important to most programmers SEO article and yet not have a far more useful and important article on Multi-Threading!

I totally agree and I figured you didn't need it but maybe someone else did. Also, it was meant as a bit of snarky humor.

Entity Framework is being rebooted with an initiative called Entity Framework Everywhere. The goal of this project is dramatically reduce both the complexity of Entity Framework and the resources needed to run applications that use it. This will in turn allow it to run on a wider variety of platforms including Windows Store and Windows Phone. Translation: we missed a few Hibernate features, and have to start over

I was about to start learning Entity Framework in a couple of weeks because I think it's a brilliant framework but it looks like I might have to postpone that for a few months

You should still check it out.
The far more popular DbContext would be retained with little or no change to its API.

I don't know enough of EF to know what that even means

I don't think so. Infact, EF makes it simple by abstracting(eliminating) the hibernate entity mapping files. Of course there are numerous tools that facilitate generating the files.

The biggest boon of EF (and its relations) is the separation it introduces between programmers who don't understand databases and databases.
That said - if your database design is sub optimal, an ORM will make things a good deal worse in my experience.

The Aero-X hoverbike from Aerofex is slated for a commercial release in 2017 for just $85,000. Chump change, right? "Now this is pod racing!"

The vibration, klunkiness of piloting (the guy can barely get it to turn), and turbulence (and resulting high velocity debris) makes this concept a total flop. And I can't imagine the noise level. I noticed the video had no audio. Gee, I wonder why.

Interesting... seeing the device move over sand, I thought of military applications - move over a mine field without touching the ground.

There are so many lessons on the road to programming well — I just wish I'd learned these earlier. "Beer before liquor never been sicker"

liquor before beer, you're in the clear
Don't comment your code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to read!
|
|
|
|

Beer and then whiskey, rather risky
Whiskey then beer, have no fear

Nice. I haven't heard that one.
