I like Oreos. I didn't know they were Latin though.

As of Lion, Apple introduced a full-screen mode for apps. I wasn’t entirely convinced by this new feature, not least due to having a 27-inch iMac, which made many apps in full-screen mode look ridiculous. But the sense of focus was useful, and I was thoroughly enjoying the experience. And then I got sick. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!

Ah, typical Apple, somehow getting away with re-releasing something that has been around for years and claiming it as there. Seriously, full screen mode? What next, the ability to plug a keyboard into a computer?
Jeez.

Netflix awarded a $1 million prize to a developer team in 2009 for an algorithm that increased the accuracy of the company's recommendation engine by 10 percent. But today it doesn't use the million-dollar code, and has no plans to implement it in the future. Here's why. Not playing in a theater near you.

This study doesn't include WPF development. The only options are
HTML5 + JavaScript/WinJS
XAML + C#/Visual Basic
XAML/DX with C++
Everything makes sense in someone's mind

Question 1 could be multiple choice. Some of us have built apps in the Dev preview AND the Consumer preview.
Similarly, I've also coded in the three types for Question 2.

Thanks for the feedback, guys. We'll make sure to address these issues in future surveys.
In the meantime, if you have to make just one choice where several would be better, just pick the option most recently used or most relevant to you.
There's no right answer. We're just gauging current usage and preferences.

Often you need to test a website on an tablet device such as an iPad using a local development machine’s web server. For whatever reason the available Wi-Fi when developing your site may be on another subnet or network entirely to your development machine. Situations like these call for a bit of creative thinking and a different approach, so if this is a problem you face here’s my take on a possible solution. DIY ASP.NET + IIS test network.

Is it weird for a man to kiss another man for making his development life much much easier?
I can't wait to try this out at work.

Today's developers are overwhelmingly young and male, and they're barring the door from a more diverse workforce. Is this an industry or a fraternity?

If CP is any indication, there are a lot of people on here that have formed cliques in the forums. Fraternity might not be far off.

Hopeless developers have a special ability to wreak havoc on a job, as at the other end of the hierarchical organogramme do hopeless senior managers. But taking stock now, I feel the focus has been too narrow and has left gaps in my analysis. I have failed to take a holistic, 360 degree, front to back, soup to nuts view of the shambolic IT space. Let us start at the top, with those who destroy time, money and hope as a matter of routine.

Despite the dramatic shift toward simplification in software interfaces, the world of development tools continues to shrink our workspace with feature after feature in every release. Even with all of these things at our disposal, why are we still looking all over the place for the things we need when we're coding? We can do better. This may be the IDE you've been looking for.

It's getting to the point where there are so many cool open source projects that I can't keep up. Seriously, just pick a word out of the dictionary at random and that's the name of an up and coming JavaScript library. Sammy, you've got a Knockout Cappuccino in your Angular Handlebar Mustache.

Learning how to program is going to be the most useful new skill we can teach our kids today. Last Sunday, I taught six kids of ages 5 to 7 how to program. “In what programming language?” you may ask. Well... I didn’t use a programming language, at least none that you know of. In fact, I didn’t even use a computer. Instead, I devised a game called “How To Train Your Robot”. “The only second language you should worry about your kids learning is programming.”

Given a sea of trends, how do you surface the most important ones? In the era of big data, filters are necessary to prevent drowning users in a torrent of information. Surfacing only the starkest deviations from the expected brings focus to the unexpected and interesting. But what does it mean for a trend to be “interesting”? Finding the most important needles in the haystack.
