We'd like an easy way to judge open-source programs. It can be done. But easily? That's another matter. When it comes to open source, you can't rely on star power.

Some states have found themselves in need of people who know a 60-year-old programming language called COBOL to retrofit the antiquated government systems now struggling to process the deluge of unemployment claims brought by the coronavirus crisis.

We can make open-source software safer and more secure when we all work together.

With job losses and income plummeting thanks to the coronavirus pandemic we need money as fast as we can, but government systems written in the old COBOL computer language are blocking us from our cash.

Synopsys has found that 99% of commercial software programs include at least one open-source component. But 91% of those included out of date or abandoned open-source code.

EPISODE 3: OPERATING SYSTEMS FOR A HORIZONTAL STACK In this four-part miniseries within the Innovate @Open podcast, we explore the alterna...

Like its ancestors before it, the latest Dell 13 Linux Developer Edition is an exceptional programmers' laptop.

Dirk Hohndel and Linus Torvalds talked about Linux developers, hardware, and coding in their latest, and first virtual Linux conversation.

Postman is a handy tool that can help you do full stack integration testing of your APIs. Learn how to use it without requiring any panic flips.

Every developer needs to find (and fix) bugs. But how can you squash a bug you don’t know how to find?

To translate one language into another, find the linear transformation that maps one to the other. Simple, say a team of Google engineers.

Do you remember the first time you saw Rails' ActiveSupport library? I do: it totally blew my mind. The only dynamic language I had used up to that point was Perl, and it had a similarly mind-blowing effect on my young self. I thought that... | Steve Klabnik | “The most violent element in society is ignorance.” - Emma Goldman

Chris Granger is a computer programmer who thinks programming kinda sucks. It’s too complicated and too esoteric and too sprawling. But he hopes that his latest invention can change all that. Built alongside friend and colleague Robert Attorri, his creation is called Light Table, and he believes it can not only improve programming for seasoned engineers like himself, but put the power of coding into the hands of so many others. “We consider programming a modern-day superpower.

Perhaps you encountered these in math classes or an elective in your CompSci degree, and think they’re just “theoretically” interesting. (Or not.) But, Tom Henderson argues, these have relevance to the real world of programming too.

ChartJS provides a set of visualization widgets that allow you to transform data to its most appropriate, concise, and readable visual representation.

Open source HTML5 charts using the canvas tag. Chart.js is an easy way to include animated graphs on your website.

As software developers we put a lot of focus on simplicity. And rightly so, because making code readable and understandable keeps it from becoming a maintenance nightmare. Simplicity is often confused though with how many lines of code there are.

For a limited time, GameMaker Studio Standard edition is available for free. Valued at $49.99, GameMaker Studio Standard is a significant improvement upon the free version of the software which imposes harsh restrictions on the resources that developers can make use of.

Stephen Wolfram introduces the Wolfram Language in this video that shows how the symbolic programming language enables powerful functional programming, querying of large databases, flexible interactivity, easy deployment, and much, much more.

When it comes to mathematical explanation or mathematical search engine, no one can beat Wolfram Alpha. Believe me, even Google can’t beat it. Now, It’s time for a language. Knowledge based language, It’s how Stephen Wolfram, CEO of Wolfram Research has started with. The Computational knowledge. Symbolic programming. Algorithm automation. Dynamic interactivity. Natural language. Computable documents. The cloud. Connected devices. Symbolic …
