Today, on the two year anniversary of releasing Bootstrap to the world, we're shipping Bootstrap 3.0. It's been a crazy long ride to say the least and we're stoked to finally have this out in the wild. Thanks to everyone who's tested our RCs (er, betas), reported bugs, and contributed code. We couldn't have done it without you beautiful nerds. If you're not using Bootstrap to build your Web site, you're just not using Bootstrap to build your Web site

Thanks to some good timing, I'm using Bootstrap 3 for a site I'm building.

Totally.
And that relates to this week's poll as well. There needs to be entry-level/hobbyist languages and tools for any who just need to do some casual coding.

Quote: entry-level/hobbyist languages and tools
Isn't that the definition of VB.NET and Visual Studio Express?
|
|
|
|
|
You'd think so, but no. Certainly not Visual Studio; it's definitely not for beginners. And VB teaches too many bad habits.
|
|
|
|
|
VB, yes, but not VB.NET. For all their arguments to the contrary, it was C# without semi-colons. I think you needed to be more of a programmer to create something with VB.NET, while you could play around with VB for a while and have "something that worked"™ .

Oh, absolutely.
There is a definite need for little solutions, and I hope that the author of the piece sees that as well. I just don't think (and I think this was his main message as well) that there really needs to be a migration path between little solutions and enterprise/marketable products. I loved Hypercard and VB, but I definitely wasn't going to write Word in either.

When a phrase enters the tech industry lexicon in a big way, and has a good way of crystallizing a seemingly overarching trend, it’s usually not long before the very same phrase becomes a victim of its own overuse and is dismissed as “all hype.” Yea, though I pass through the Trench of Disillusionment...

A few months ago we announced that a preview of Skype video calling and messaging was starting to arrive in Outlook.com. Today we are excited to give you an update: Skype for Outlook.com is now fully available in several countries around the globe including the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, France, Canada, and the United States. For those of you outside those countries, we're still working hard to ensure this is available worldwide in the near future. "Call me, maybe?"

I didn't care for Skype before Microsoft bought them out.
