Microsoft’s evolving Groups feature aims to improve collaboration, likely at the expense of similar Office 365 options. As long as that one-stop doesn't stop at SharePoint

Powered by Microsoft technology, new bedside terminals securely hooked up to the hospitals backend servers provide doctors with at-a-glance critical patient information, making data entry easier and quickly accessible. Must. not. make. BSOD joke.

Blue screen of adverse outcomes as they say in NHS-speak.
I can actually see a use for non-touch (Kinnect and voice) interfaces because one of the biggest problems in hospitals is infection control and one of the biggest headaches to that is "personal tech".

Scalar? I'd think it was more of a vector (or maybe it's the space betwixt).

But, what kind of hospital is there when we're sick of Microsoft?

Someone at Microsoft must be crying after that one (and the earlier one about the NFL commentators). So much for visible promotions. Time to go back to crazy dancing commercials[^].

Awesome things happen, sooner or later. This time, sooner. A month earlier than last year, we’re excited to announce IntelliJ IDEA 14, the major new release of your favorite Java IDE. Now with a bunch of new features of interest to Java developers (so I'm moving on quickly)

Though tough to define, functional programming can bring real productivity boosts if you can navigate the learning curve. Caution: may cause recreation of scenes from Scanners
Once you're past that though, sailing's fine.

Sometimes, paradoxically, more restrictive environments can lead to greater productivity and it is my experience that immutability just makes all the difference if you are doing anything multi-threaded.
That said, modelling business processes (and things like DDD) are better done in an object oriented language.
This is why an environment/ecosystem that supports both is so important?

Actually, functional programming is extremely easy to define. McCarthy's original LISP implementation is a thing of tiny beauty. Church's lambda calculus, which provides the logical framework for it all is a much more elegant (and usable) expression of computability than Turing machines, and most functional languages are fairly small compared to imperative language.
The problem is that while switching from C to C# to C++ to Java to Ruby etc. involves small changes in approach, functional programming is a whole different way of working.
As for his discussion of C# and Java as "functional" languages because they enable passing functions - no, that just makes them hybrid languages. Smalltalk had blocks (closures) back in 1980, and they didn't make that a functional language. Indeed, they're pretty essential to make OO work properly.

Proxygen lets Facebook take advantage of new software performance enhancers like the Google-developed SPDY protocol and has apparently cut down on the amount of time it takes Facebook to make new products. Not sure how it's going to speed development, but if you need an HTTP stack, it might help.

New research demonstrates that, unlike native apps, those written in HTML5 are susceptible to code injection attacks. No reason. HTML has a perfect security record.

The Internet giant's latest cloud developments point toward a stronger focus on serving organizations with a global footprint. Yeah, but what do *they* know about working at scale?

Despite years of refinement, Agile development still does not include architecture and design. This sprint we'll build it 3-tier. Next sprint we'll switch to microservices.

Thanks, it wasn't really my doing -- SyncFusion, who commissioned and publishes the e-book, has a partnership with Tuts, so that' how it got posted.
It was a bit of a kerfuffle at first when Kent posted about it -- I thought it was plagiarism because there was no mention of SyncFusion, but we got it all cleared up.
It would appear that all the chapters[^] are posted there now.

IMHO - Agile is a project management methodology and nothing else.
Some up front design is a good thing, and architecture makes better outcomes - and if you can overcome the WIDC impulse for the first week or so of the project you will do well.
