VS/C#6 is out-delphi-ing Delphi.
I hope EMBT is paying attention.

Oh, and note the cute little ’10’ sign on Channel 9’s logo 🙂
The Microsoft Build conference is quite mind blowing this year.
It seems that Win32 apps will be accepted into Windows Store, but too early to tell if it means VS apps only – or apps from other tools, such as RAD Studio, as well. Windows Store apps will be deployed in a virtualized sandbox – sort of – which means that when you uninstall, no crap is left behind on disk, nor in Registry. How this will work with stuff like addons – remains to be seen.
Their new approach to cross platform is a game changer. If you got the time, you need to watch this. VS can now compile Android/Java apps and iOS Objective-C apps into Windows Apps.
Oh, and the new Universal Apps are crazy cool.
Time to add to the skillset, for sure!
Don’t worry, though. I still love Delphi 🙂
P.S. HoloLens is also starting to look super sexy. All in all, MS suddenly is back as the most vibrant of our platform vendors, outdoing Google, Apple and others in functional coolness.
Interesting survey results at StackOverflow.

Inkscape Vector Drawing
Inkscape looks like a useful alternative for modifying .svg files (and other vector or bitmap formats). It’s still a bit buggy in certain UI features, such as click handlers not working here and there, but a space press doubles as click as soon as the button or checkbox is selected.

Zero to Hero with Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Database
If you are new to SQL databases, this 5 hour(!) video starts with the absolute basics, and progresses into fairly advanced use, tuning and debugging. Some of it is specific to MSSQL Server, but the basics are conceptually applicable to most SQL dbs.
Linq-like features in Java 8
Introduces “Streams” to remove for loops.
I wonder how it performs compared to for loops?
