This app ranks the popularity of dozens of programming languages. You can filter them by listing only those most relevant to particular sectors, such as web or embedded programming. Rankings are created by weighting and combining 12 metrics from 10 sources. We offer preset weightings for those interested in what's trending or most looked for by employers, or you can take complete control and create your own custom ranking by adjusting each metric's weighting yourself. OK, NetLogo is off my 'To learn' list

Microsoft has revealed today that they have taken steps to ensure security and transparency, especially when it comes to the company's products and services. On top of that, Microsoft has opened up the very first Microsoft Transparency Center at the Redmond, Washington campus. So, your proof of no "back doors" is that you let governments access your code?
Yeah, yeah, read only access. Sure. OK. Right.

Hackers operating somewhere in Eastern Europe have penetrated the networks of energy companies in the U.S., Spain, France and several other countries and may have gained the ability to carry out cyber-sabotage attacks, researchers at the security company Symantec said today.

I’ll be honest, although Windows 8.x losing market share is a shocking state of affairs -- and a new low for an operating system which has struggled since launch -- it’s something that’s been coming for a while. Windows 8 has been dropping share since Windows 8.1 arrived, and Windows 8.1 has been growing at such a glacial pace it was only a matter of time before the losses outweighed the gains, and that’s exactly what happened in June according to NetMarketShare. People looked into their downgrade license for Windows?

The idea of this post is born talking with my colleague Antonio about the frameworks a .NET web developer should know (from my point of view of course). That's funny because the list is very long and I asked myself if there is something wrong with my idea of .NET web developer or something else. Unlikely many of these are really "Must Know", but what do I know? (Your mileage will vary)

Looks like somebody Googled '.net frameworks' and copied and pasted the results into a blog post

then someone googled ".net articles" and pasted it into the Insider News

At the 107th Ecma General Assembly in Heidelberg, Germany last week, the international technology standards organization approved the first edition of the Dart Programming Language Specification.
Now all that's left to do is dethrone JavaScript. Easy peasy.

I think I saw it some years before...
VBScript...AppleScript and now DartScript.
I do not praise JavaScript, but instead of creating 'new' languages (there is nothing new about Dart - an other C syntax under new name) it was much better to improve. The only need for Dart is of that of Googles' ego...

What makes a good programmer? It’s an interesting question to ask yourself. It makes you reflect on the craft of software development. It is also a good question to ask your colleagues. It can trigger some interesting discussions on how you work together. Here are five skills I think are crucial to have in order to be a good programmer.
