Facebook  doesn’t want its hardware like Oculus or its augmented reality glasses to be at the mercy of Google because they rely on its Android operating system. That’s why Facebook has tasked Mark Lucovsky, a co-author of Microsoft’s Windows NT, with building the social network an operating system from scratch, according to The Information’s Alex Heath.

If the recent Chrome Dev Summit was evidence of what Google thinks is hot in web development, then frameworks were one of the clear winners. More specifically, client-side frameworks and libraries like Angular, Vue and React, and larger web frameworks like Next.js.

First of all, let’s take a look at how a React-Redux application works. What Redux does internally, It provide us with a store for our app’s state and with ways to communicate with the store.

The year 2019 is coming to a close as getting nearer to 2020. The end of 2019 will be the end of a decade in which app development proliferated, and in which software technology reached greater heights.

But as years come by, the importance of apps is only going to increase even further people begin to use technologies such as IoT, chatbots, AI/ML software in their daily lives.

While cybersecurity is often thought of in terms of databases and architecture, much of a strong security posture relies on elements in the domain of the front-end developer. For certain potentially devastating vulnerabilities like SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), a well-considered user interface is the first line of defense.

This year, once again, mobile applications became more and more popular. And there are many programming tools available to developers who want to create them.

Google is the owner of not one but two incredibly popular mapping and navigation apps, including Google Maps, which was developed in house, and Waze, which Google acquired for $1 billion in 2013.

One of the most important questions for any business willing to develop an application is, “which front-end technology (client-side) should we choose?” With so many options for JavaScript frameworks available, your app development team needs to be cautious about their choice.

This article will examine the positives and negatives of React, Angular, and Vue and situations in which each is optimal to use.

In early 2019, Bill Gates participated in a Reddit “Ask Me Anything.” On Wednesday, Reddit named it as the most “upvoted” AMA of the past year with 110,000 upvotes.

Redditors asked Gates everything from “when was the last time you wrote code” to “what’s your favorite prime number.” And one Redditor had a question about the Microsoft-cofounder’s personal life: What makes you happy? 

Why do software engineers leave their jobs?

I asked this question in a large Slack group for programmers, and, well, it got a huge response — I think there was a thread with 40 replies at one point. Needless to say, it’s a contentious topic!
