    Programmers who defined the tech industry: Where are they now? 04/11/2010 10:45:00

    Some early programmer names are familiar to even the most novice of software developers. You may never have seen a line of code written by Bill Gates, or written any application in BASIC (much less for the Altair). But you know Gates' name, and the names of a few others.

    Old-school programming techniques you probably don't miss 30/04/2009 09:52:00

    Despite its complexity, the software development process has gotten better over the years. "Mature" programmers remember how many things required manual intervention and hand-tuning back in the day.

    Six Scripting Languages Your Developers Wish You'd Let Them Use 15/10/2008 11:06:00

    Several weeks ago, Lynn Greiner's article on the state of the scripting universe was slashdotted. Several people raised their eyebrows at the (to them) obvious omissions, since the article only covered PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl and JavaScript.

    Survey: Open Source is Entering the Enterprise Mainstream 02/06/2008 11:02:07

    Open-source solutions used to be adopted quietly by company boffins who snuck in an Apache Web server or an open-source development tool suite under the philosophy "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission" (not to mention "It's easier to do it with open-source tools than to get an IT budget").

    Yesterday, at the MIX08 conference, Microsoft released the first beta of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), which is available for immediate download.
