Mono 3.2.7 is out 12 years ago

rdio is using the xamarin tools for ios and android.

mvc + mono website on linux success story - i haven't seen one.

I don't know guys, I just picked up dell venue 8 pro. this thing is nice. the whole Metro things works really well and it is fast and smooth. The quality of games/apps I am seeing is already better than my kid's Nexus 7 (long way from ipad tho). If they market this thing right, I can see it(windows tablets in general) gain some hold in pure tablet world.

text.Split(' ').Where(x=>!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x)).GroupBy(x => x).Select(x => new { word = x.Key, count = x.Count() }).OrderByDescending(x => x.count).Select(x=>x.word).Take(10).ToArray();

Fantastic customer service experience. Apple,Amex and costco should get together and make it all about customers instead of about shareholders.

How can this be sustainable? all this fragmentation/versions - iOS new >=7 and <7, all different versions of android, windows 8 metro etc etc. how many different platform specific versions are these service providers like say pandora suppose to create?

I feel like unless the app is taking advantage of some inherent hardware capability of the phone/tablet everything should eventually be HTML5.

Having worked in nyc financial world, I can say excel is here to stay - at least for foreseeable future. Heck, the only reason I have windows running in parallel in my MBA is excel. We use to have what we called "excel test" for all quants and analyst positions. We use to QA our excel sheets just like any other software application. I am surprised that many companies don't do that - it only makes sense.

if you think devs working on these framework don't understand client side javascript/HTML framework on its own and need to be explained for their particular framework, may be they outta be not writing code at all.

Also, another thing that bothers me about MS is that they hide so much real HTML/javascript from devs with visual basic like facade called webforms that MS devs don't get into a new platform unless they see a document like "Angular js for .net" title.

IT/developer scene in big NYC banks is even worse. People with no experience faking up resume get business analyst/QA position cramming some basic skills in few weeks and they are paid $55/hr for doing nothing. This cannot last, can it?

I just don't get this app. There are thousand alternatives cheaper or free.
