Previously, you needed a Mac to be able to sign an iOS app and test it on a device. But we’ve now released our remote signing service so you can build and test your iOS apps on Windows or Linux – no Mac in sight. Go where no app has gone before.

What has changed in the last few years is that web applications start providing more than just dynamically rendered HTML templates. JavaScript is used to run more and more logic on the client side and JS usually talks to some backends via JSON. But web APIs are also more and more used to expose raw data to other software. The challenge though, is that we haven’t changed the way we write web applications to adapt to this new way of providing data. Think about your API, how well does it communicate with your future API users?

Microsoft's largest annual conference explores Azure, Windows Server 2012, System Center 2012, and Windows 8. Also interesting: higher-profile Linux and Mac interoperability than ever before.

Some of the biggest names in technology, as well as some prospecting upstarts have entered applications with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for hundreds of new Internet domain name extensions. The list includes common words, such as .auto, .attorney, .baby and .beer, as well as well-known proper names such as .Google. .FedEx and .Microsoft. .youvegottobekidding

PHP is no longer trendy and has caught flak in certain corners for quite some time. A lot of this probably has to do with the fact that PHP has been around for a while and (developers get bored easily) is now far from the only game in town for developing dynamic web applications. And yet, look how much of the 'net is built on PHP.

Inspired by Github’s Hubot and fueled by Cinch and Ruby, we’ve slowly changed our IRC from a communication channel to a public and remote REPL device designed to do the boring and tedious tasks: searching for test failures, issuing pull requests, or filing new bugs. If you are interested, read on. /chat #your work away!

If writing awesome code is using all the best practices I can find, writing interfaces, unit tests and using top notch IoC containers to control my repositories and services all over my application's different layers - Then I'm not writing awesome code at all! I'm not awesome any more. Instead, I'm productive!

He makes a good argument with which I would mostly agree. KISS works, every time.

Reputations aren’t randomly given out, they are earned based on experience. What makes the reputation disturbing to me is that I know many software engineers personally, and they are generally a fun-loving, agreeable (if not opinionated), and entertaining bunch. They’re the ones you want to hang out with after work and catch up with on the weekend. So why is it that in the presence of work, a different personality shows up? Software engineers aren’t builders. Software engineers are creators.

I'm looking forward to Razer's Project Fiona[^] personally (assuming they move it out of concept and into production). Because every tablet should have an i7 processor!

You’ve probably heard about the new Windows on ARM PCs that will be coming to market with Windows 8. If you’ve been following the TechEd North America coverage, then you’ve also seen these devices in the keynote. In this post, we’re going to cover what this all means for developers. Who, what, where, when... WOA!

At one time I thought that if collaboration with the community were a high priority, then I needed to use a wiki as a collaborative platform. How could I engage in collaborative efforts without a wiki? Although this seems logical, it turns out that a wiki is not necessary for collaboration. Here's why. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

This document specifies an additional Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) status code for use when resource access is denied for legal reasons. This allows server operators to operate with greater transparency in circumstances where issues of law or public policy affect their operation. This transparency may be beneficial both to these operators and to end users. 451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons.

There’s no doubt about it. Android, especially Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), version 4.0, already offers more than what is coming in Apple’s forthcoming iOS 6. But, Android has its own flaws. ...you can only find ICS on 7.1 percent of all currently running Android devices.

What happens when you play a single game of Civilization II across ten long years? Well, carpal tunnel syndrome and a lifelong fear of pixels smaller than than the size of a fist. Also, an in-game world which is “a hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation”, riddled with nuclear fallout and caught in a terrible stalemate between three ultra-nations which have been at war for millennia. You want to get out of here? You talk to me.

As many grizzled job veterans know, a sharp résumé and near-flawless interview may still leave you short of your dream job. Competition is fierce and never wanes. But finding new ways to distinguish ourselves in today’s unforgiving economy is vital to a developer’s survival. Here are four reasons why it’s a great idea to author your résumé in HTML.

For at least two years, Flame has been copying documents and recording audio, keystrokes, network traffic, and Skype calls, and taking screenshots from infected computers. That information was passed along to one of several command-and-control servers operated by its creators. In all that time, no security software raised the alarm. Wasting hackers' time can skew the economics of attacks.

A student of mine named Eric once joked that Visual Basic 6 was “the un-killable cockroach” in the Windows ecosystem. That analogy goes deeper than you might think. Cockroaches are successful because they’re simple. They do what they need to do for their ecological niche and no more. Visual Basic 6 did what its creators intended for its market niche... The things that Visual Basic 6 did still need doing.

Not every problem requires the use of a specific design pattern. But here are two handy patterns that may help you today. Learning design patterns also helps in understanding other libraries like jQuery, Spring etc which make heavy use of many such patterns. Meet the Singleton and the Adapter.

While I love Console2, I think I'm ready to switch as I've just been turned on a NEW contender in the Windows Console Wars. It's ConEmu and it's insane (in a good way.) It's also actively developed. You had me at Norton Commander.
