In this post, we provide some tips and techniques on automating the testing of Windows 8 apps. Keep in mind that automated testing is a powerful technique and it requires some initial investment to reap the full rewards. The advice and examples in this post are meant to get you started, but you’ll need to build and maintain your own infrastructure on top of them. Test early. Test often.

As a software engineer, you might want any number of things out of your job - a steady paycheck, the opportunity to work on interesting projects, a springboard to the next better job, or maybe you just like hanging out with other programmers. But by "effective", I mean the ability to complete projects in a timely manner with the expected quality. After working on dozens of software releases, I believe the following practices will bring you there, and while they may involve sticking your neck out, I'd like to think they will also advance your professional reputation, career longevity, and personal satisfaction. Powerful lessons in personal programming.

Guess who’s winning the brains race, with 100% of first graders learning to code?[^]
Rather than truly teaching kids about computers, we’re teaching them to see the machines and programs as mysterious tools, offering little or no instruction about the conceptual aspects of computer science that lay the foundation for innovation and deeper study in the field

Already, in hacking competitions around the world, Eastern European programmers are often leading the pack.

Awesome, thanks for the link, I kept arguing with my family and friends that every kids should learn to code... Now I have the proof that I'm not the only fool !

Yeah, really interesting. I also find it intriguing that the trend was to simplify the logo over the years, as the companies got bigger and bigger. Although this may not be so surprising, given that they didn't need really fancy logos once achieving some notoriety.

Let's not get too hung up on the "news" aspect of these posts, please.
The better way of thinking about this forum, IMHO is that it's a place for discussing newsy, interesting and informative posts from around the web specifically about programming and tech.

Thanks for this.
I'm all tucked in but on my dev laptop that awaits me and my cup of morning joe in the living room now has a brand new txt file on the desktop called breadcrumbs.txt where I documented what I was trying to do when I had had enough this evening.

In this installment we talk to independent Mac app developer and creator of the Alfred app, Andrew Pepperrell. We talk to developers about their backgrounds, projects, interests and pet peeves.

I had been tempted to classify IFTTT as a merely an interesting toy for playing with social media. Granted, it’s nice that I can archive all my tweets into an Evernote note, but so what? However, IFTTT’s growth in features is showing it to be more than a bauble. The service is becoming an empowering tool that gives users more control over their own data, previously often accessible by programmers alone.

Very often I am asked to tell someone if their implementation is "RESTful", "is a REST API", is "RESTful enough", etc. Rarely am I asked to tell someone if their chosen architectural style is appropriate for the problem at hand. IOW, people want to know if the work fits a label invented over a decade ago by a PhD candidate in his dissertation. Almost everytime the answer is the same: "NO." Is your app RESTful? Does it matter if it works?

An interesting blog spoiled by the style of delivery. I really wish he hadn't used all those "if you don't want to know about.... skip..." parts. They just got in the way of the flow of the article. Just as a point was picking up steam, bang he throws this in and it breaks the thread for me.
Good though. I have to admit that I have never read the original Dissertation so this was a bit of an eye opener.

A co-worker watched me type the other day and noticed that I use certain Unix commands for purposes other than they are intended. Yes, I abuse Unix commands. I hope you enjoyed my little tour of Unix commands that are useful to mis-use. I'd be interested in hearing what commands you abuse. What are your favorite bash (or Powershell) tricks?
