Many companies are adopting a ‘virtualization first’ policy due to all the benefits associated with virtualization. But, there is still legitimate concern about virtualizing everything, especially with security and performance for high I/O driven applications.

We already have quite a few JVM languages, do we need any more? Here are a few reasons that come to mind.

The newly released Linux kernel features improved support for Xen and BTRFS file system, as well as a new versioning scheme

I've had some interesting discussions with other developers about writing code recently. I often have the impression that some developers put too much emphasis on clean code.

With a new version coming up I’d say this decade is the one where C++ is more relevant than ever.

Git has become the programming world's most popular version control system--at least that's what surveys conducted by Microsoft Corp. suggest. While there are abundant write-ups already available for new users and administrators, from tutorials to descriptions of clever merge workflows, I still often encounter a few missteps in basic version control naming and layout.
