software developers

We've argued a few times that Steve Jobs' real success wasn't in inventing anything particularly new, but in taking what others had done and making it better.

That's why we found his complaints about Android seem so odd.

Oregon Live: "Thousands of software developers will converge on Portland this week for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, or OSCON.

The conference, one of the largest gatherings of its kind, runs Monday through Friday at the Oregon Convention Center."

Security blogs have been running bits about TDSS malware for quite some time, though it wasn’t until the arrival of TDL4 that things really started heating up.

Like any other software developers, cybercriminals re-imagine and refine their malware as time goes by — and the TDSS crew clearly put plenty of effort into its most recent release.

The company's move clears the way for software developers to adapt PowerShell for use on operating systems such as Apple's Mac or various Linux OSes.

Over the years, we've been really interested in various platforms for engaging folks to participate in all sorts of projects.

We've pointed out cool prize contests such as the Netflix Prize, and generally, when there's a really interesting concept that seems to catch on, there are plenty of copycats ready to try their hand at reproducing success.

Here are a bunch of open innovation marketplaces that have the same basic idea -- and there are plenty others -- but we're still waiting on one player to really stand out.

In a recent post to his site Keith Casey mentions something that should be obvious to most software developers (and managers of developers out there) but is easy to forget - technical debt doesn't just disappear, even if the related resources change dramatically.

IT World: "While many software developers and enthusiasts have been focusing on the push for open source software, did we miss the fact that somewhere along the line companies got a hold of something even more important: our personal data?"

Linux User and Developer: "In an earlier article, we studied the fundamental aspects of shell scripting and covered topics such as redirection, variables, arithmetic expansions and control constructs.

In this part, we will focus on more advanced concepts that are useful for system administrators and software developers..."

This article explores how the changing market and new technologies have not only affected software, but also how it’s tested and what this means for software developers. Learn more.

Is the success of Linux directly proportional to its ability to integrate with existing proprietary systems like Windows?

If so, should free software developers be spending more time integrating with it instead of building better software for free platforms?
