But just who exactly are the millions of professional developers that visit our network each month? We recently conducted a survey of over 450 CodeProject members to garner greater insight into that very question. "C'mon tell me who are you"

Looking at those numbers I see that devmedia has a very MS centric audience compared to the industry as a while...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In a flexibly scripted programming language like JavaScript, everything is an object. Developers can code and push new features faster, enabling end users rather than making them wait months for an update under a more traditional sever-side development model. "Try it, you’ll like it"
Note: Normally I'd fix that typo in the subject line (and it is for the newsletter), but I think the message is valuable enough to leave it as is.

What the hell does "everything is an object" have to do with the rest of that opening paragraph? That immediately tells me the piece is written by a non-tech journo dropping random soundbytes wherever they can.

Is this the glass of koolaid, or an upper story window I'm supposed to hurl myself through?

A team of engineers have created tiny acoustic vortices and used them to grip and spin microscopic particles suspended in water. "It's sonic! Totally sonic! I'm...sonicked up!"

A major software reseller in the U.S. has begun taking preorders for Windows 10 OEM software, in the process leaking prices and the apparent availability date of the software. Surprisingly, Microsoft is actually raising OEM prices in this cycle. But, I thought it was free?

Google this morning unveiled the creation of one of its better ATAP projects — Project Jacquard — a conductive fabric that can communicate with digital devices. The technology is small and lightweight, and it just might help connected clothing officially come of age. "'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man"

But UN says government-ordered decryption is OK if done on a "case-by-case basis." Well, that's settled then. As we all know: all governments automatically obey the UN

And we all know that all governments are benign...

They do. They UN-obey them.

I agree with the UN position, and probably most of you agree with it.
If you feel that you should have a right to personal privacy (from friends and foes and government), then you should contact your local politician and tell him about that, and in the case he is clueless, explain to him why it is important.
I'd rather be phishing!

The Windows Store has been slammed for its array of cluttered, confusing and garbage apps. Now, Microsoft wants to clean up its act. Soon to be followed by a news item about how few items are in the Windows store

They will probably go the route of increasing the fees for app submissions, because higher costs translate to higher qualitry [sic]!
|
|

Funny thing is that if you try to publish an app, expect multiple trips - chances are it will be rejected because you are missing a privacy link, or you application doesn't handle minimize or bunch of other reasons. That is comparing to Google where publishing is a simple case of uploading an app. Even Apple's iTunes with it's fame of being picky is more straight forward then Microsoft.

Long gone are the days when a tester would sit on one side of the wall and wait for the developers to throw code over. "Stand tall, don't you fall"
|
|
|
|
|
Of course I don't lob my code at them like a hand grenade. Too unreliable.
I prefer to line my testers up against a wall and spray them with code bullets.

What are the factors that can influence team members and their coding abilities? How can an agile framework breakdown in terms of produced software quality? We investigate academic literature to find the results. "Works on my machine"

Aristotle wrote: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. I guess those programmers aren't that good!

Well, based on another recent Insider post, Agile and sprints promote a culture of working on the low hanging fruit and leaving the hard stuff, the stuff where architecture and good coding practices actually matters, for later, or never. Then you hire someone like me to come in and tell you that what the previous "talent" shop has done is garbage and has to be redone from scratch. Or worse, band-aided at 3x or more the cost of starting from scratch.
I have seen this over and over and over. And the funny thing is, where do I see this over and over and over?

I would call that a list of popular theories about programming that aren't secret, or necessarily correct, but make good for clickbait if you put the word "secret" in the title
