Being a programmer is as close as a human can come to being a magician. You conjure, by concentration and will, a string of arcane symbols that your silicon brazier converts into anything that relies on information. When I was a kid, it was a trope in science fiction that computers were limited to uses of pure, formal logic (“They deal only with 1s and 0s”). Wrong! Our industry is a great unending field of rich soil, and all of our accomplishments are just the first shoots of grass. Those who can't, test? (Kidding, of course.)

This preview lays a lot of groundwork for vNext, so you may not see a ton of new features. Not to be confused with Visual Studio 2015, because why would you?

I have been reading their future releases as vNext for a long time. Something tells me, I am going to sit with my kids and then we are going to read a blog about the final stages of vNext.
Besides, the .NET Core is not fully implemented. Most basic objects are not available in the framework.

This announcement means that every Visual Studio, from the free Community edition right up to the Enterprise edition, now has access to the Xamarin tooling so that developers can build applications for Android and iOS (though iOS development continues to need access to an OS X machine) using the .NET and C# tools they love.
There are no restrictions to this inclusion, either.
...
Quote: Some enterprise-oriented Xamarin features are still restricted, and developers will need a Visual Studio Enterprise subscription to use these.
I'm still not convinced that Xamarin's tools are the right way to go - the only shop I know that tried it had enough problems they switched to ReactNative(?) instead - but if you want to try it out or are trying to port a large .net app instead of doing greenfield development; being able to try it without needing to buy additional licenses is always a plus.
Also, is this bundled in the just released VS2015 Update 2; or will we have to wait for the next patch to try it?

Really cool!
Xamarin is great, Xamarin Forms is awesome, still a lot of bugs and room to improve but nevertheless AWESOME!!
Only the price was a real turn off.

I already stop ads (at home) by using a custom hosts file. Don't need the browser (that can be compromised) to do it for me.

You know the face: the frowning, skeptical expression you assume unconsciously upon hearing something you disagree with. It’s not just you, nor is it just a tic of the culture in which you operate.

Today we’re making a new extension available that enables C++ development in Visual Studio for Linux. With this extension you can author C++ code for Linux servers, desktops and devices. "I'm going off the rails on a crazy train"

I'm certainly intrigued. Mostly by the idea of being able to debug code from an IDE instead of with GDP on the command line.

According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the US government has cited the All Writs Act in 63 cases since 2008 to compel Apple or Google to assist in accessing data stored on an iPhone or Android device. Just as they did in 1789 for yePhone

Mistaken, ye are.
The yePhone, manufactured by HearYe-HearYe Systems, Inc., didn't come out until late 1792.
