I still can't upgrade to 8.1, let alone the update to that.

If you can't upgrade to 8.1 then you'll be OK for about a year. Microsoft will still serve you patches. It's only if you're actually on 8.1 that they won't - unless you update that to 8.1 Update.

Company officials aren't simply hoping that IT managers won't notice if its on-premises server wares gradually disappear. Instead, the goal is to lessen the hurdles in making on-premises apps available in the cloud and cloud apps available on-premises. My next business: Service as a Service

Azure RemoteApp is a brand new service from Microsoft that delivers Windows applications from the Azure cloud Just like Remote Desktop, but with 100% more cloud

ASP.NET vNext will take things to the next level. Today, you run ASP.NET using the same CLR that desktop apps use. We’re adding a cloud-optimized (my cloud, your cloud, their cloud - server stuff) version optimized for server scenarios like low-memory and high-throughput. "ASP.NET vNext will let you deploy your own version of the .NET Framework on an app-by-app-basis." At last!

I set the active version with "kvm use version" and opened two command prompts, setting different CLR and .NET versions in each.
Gosh, Microsoft finally provides what the Ruby on Rails folks have been using for years now with tools like RVM. Woohoo!
Oh and look, even the syntax is the same!
➜ ~ rvm list
rvm rubies
ruby-1.9.2-p290 [ x86_64 ]
ruby-1.9.3-p0 [ x86_64 ]
➜ ~ rvm use ruby-1.9.3-p0

Despite being told many years ago, "We have nothing to fear from Ruby on Rails", they sure have copied a lot from said framework.

For the kick-off of its annual Tech Ed user conference, being held this week in Houston, Microsoft has released a bevy of tools and services to help administrators connect their internal operations to Microsoft's Azure cloud. Why would I want a cloud that runs on both electricity and gas?

The test version of Gmail — which may never see an official release — dispenses with design elements that have been present from the very early days of the email service. Most notably, the unwieldily sidebar has been replaced with a slide-in pane.
"Do Not Track settings? Not our bag. But look, a pretty new interface!"

Microsoft announced support for the Apache Cordova cross-device development platform in Visual Studio, open APIs for Visual Studio Online, a preview of the next .NET framework, changes to ASP.NET and a preview of Azure Files at its TechEd 2014 conference.
Nadella is hitting this Mobile First, Cloud-First strategy pretty hard out of the gate.

Mozilla has said it will test a plan that puts ads and sponsored content on the boxes that appear when Firefox users launch a new tab on the browser.
Now where did I read about a new ad-blocker?

There is no shortcut to acing the interview. It takes, time, dedication, research and practice. In spite of all the preparation even the most seasoned interviewee gets thrown a curve ball every once in a while. "Tell me why did you say 'good morning' when you know perfectly well that it's afternoon?"

It feels to me that as an industry, we’re treading water. Every week there’s something new and shiny, but little that progresses the significant things that could make an enormous difference to our jobs. <have no=""> why <he might="think"></that>

Treading water? How about "drowning in water" ?
(I really need to stop reading CP tonight, yet another nerve. I will spare you the diatribe on this one -- just replace Extreme Programming and Refactoring with Javascript and j[bling] and you'll get the idea.)

I would be happy if they'd give us C# in the browsers instead of JavaScript...don't see why there can't be a browser equivalent of the Common Language Runtime so that we can work in the language of our choice.
|
|

That ... should? be possible. At least with IE. It used to support various client-side languages (VBScript being one of the more common alternatives). You'd probably just need to implement some sort of COM shim to get it working. I think.
Maybe.

Why not just build Mono right into the browser?...some new classes for DOM manipulation and an interpreter and Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt, away you go.
The whole JavaScript thing just seems like a major wrong turn.
