first test

Some watchful readers pointed out some subtle but nonetheless important bugs in the framework we have built yesterday.

When creating a framework, you must be sure that it behaves as advertised. If not, all the applications based on it will exhibit the same bugs.

The good news is that whenever you fix a bug, you are fixing a bunch of applications too.

A robotic, bat-winged bomber designed to take off from a US aircraft carrier has passed its first test in a debut flight in California, the US Navy said.

More than 8,000 developers have downloaded the first test build since its release at Microsoft's Professional Developer Conference in November.

Second public beta planned for this fall following feedback from first test release.
