Well you already did a good research.... I can tell you go for C#, why? well you can say that almost all the other languages are flavors of JS, ones with new syntax's that at the ends compile to JS (or Java), it's more like you are tying a new framework that a new language (ok, I'm not being to deep on this, but all those feels like JS). Then Microsoft will look more like a new language/approach will have more value. With C# you can do a lot of good work in the BE and you then can compliment with all you already know about JS, or use the new approach and do any new Microsoft stuff.... also you can always use the old approaches and they will work. But I agree with you, C# projects are not good for small webpages, but for that you already know the answer, use one of your already know templates and that will work. If your really learn how to do Wep Apps with C# you will acquire new knowledge and skills that are not possible with the other languages.

Agree, as Android had growth to become a more complex OS, it now suffer from the issues of bigger OS: more memory, more processor, too much default background process, less battery life, and developers are like we got a lot of memory, who cares!!!.... I got one Lumia 625 for free, and I was like WTF how can this phone do all this with just 512MB!!! now got my hands in a lumia 1520 and I'm like what a beast!!! I wanted it to try to develop some Apps, and now I'm using it as my main phone, it's quicker, easier and faster, only current issues is Whatsapp not being able to save pictures in a different folder, dude everything is spaming in the photos app, but everything else is awesome, got all the apps I was using for real in my old Note 2. (now my Note 2 is taking vacations, it's safely stored in my home desk)

I remember when I did it... the installation and config was not bad, it went well.... the problem was when I start using it... dude, totally lost, and the applications and easy stuff I used to do in Win, were totally a mess. In my case I installed a fresh version in a separated Hard Disk, so no boot issues at all, I just chose what HDD want to start from the Bios Boot sequence, that allowed no intrusion from Win into Linux, or Linux on Win (I could remove anyone without problems) Then even if it was a more stable, OS, my final user experience was so bad, that I toke me some minutes to understand that no one in my home or office would be able to use it, they will not be able to find the apps or do their work. You can compare it to today's Windows Phone vs (Android or Iphone) even when Windows Phone requires less Hardware and resources, is faster, you can call it Better, people doesn't like it cause they don't know how to use it, even when you teach them how to use, they will not like it cause the rest of the world is not using it!!!

I prefer the application to crash, because if the application doesn't crash in a /0, the programmer needs to know what to do in the case we get a division with 0 without exception, call it division by zero handling.... this then is for Advanced programmers, I can see a lot of code running and doing stuff and crashing some lines after the /0 where the programmer is in a different context, and will have hard time to understand the the issue is a /0 that was not handled 10 lines before... Then yes I prefer it to blow up in front of my face, a /0 exception is always easier to track. Think on null validations, you had learned to do Null validations because a null crash so ugly that you want to avoid it... I had seen code where a null was not validated (the -> expressions make it so easy to crash due bad null validations) and the code crash 100 lines after that missed validation. So, I'm not telling is bad or good, just I think it's for advanced programmers, the ones that already learned the price of a division by zero

Dude I have one better for you.. how much time do you work on a PC?... had you ever tried to write a small letter... by hand!!! that's almost impossible, my hand start to hurt after the 4 or 5 first words... and forget about the lack of auto-correct!!

Ups, I forgot to add the ??? in the title, what I really want to said, is Why Flash must die??? On those days I had see several articles like this: http://www.wired.com/2015/07/adobe-flash-player-die/[^] and it's funny, specially when I see comments like: "Flash is a closed, proprietary system on a web that deserves open standards. And it’s a resource-heavy battery suck." When I believe that is exactly what makes it strong... being not open source means, it have one single standard, the company behind it makes it work the same from browser to browser... so, you could be asking, what is my point? well if you have work with WebApps you already know how painful and time consuming is working with JS, each browsers implements their own standards, I think JS main issue is also what makes it "stronger" the opensource, due no real company/agency ensuring it as a unique standard, its open for multiple implementations. It's ridiculous how a simple JS will not work the same from browser to browser, and sometimes is just to show a single button!!! a button, so old that I don't understand how this code can be broken! Well, I know Flash lost the war, but think on it, shouldn't we be finding something better than JS? something that makes us work just in a single code version without needed extra tools to make our JS Browser compatible? You guys should see me each time I found the issue is only present in IE or Chrome... or some browser, each time I found one I jell I f*** hate JS, and my coworkers already know I found another compatibility issue. (Developers shouldn't need to implement code like: if IE then this, if mozilla then this, is chrome then this.... it's just ridiculous)

Ok those are my ideas: - Can you try this card in another PC, it could be a damage Video Card. - I smell that you can have a compatibility issue, try to check if you main board chip-sets are compatible with this Video Card. Not sure how old is the main boards, it could be just a setting in the Bios. (do it before plugging the Video Card) - Try the 400Watts +, maybe that is all you need.

Agree Xamarin is what you want if you want to stay Visual Studio like. There is a free legal version of it. You can use it also for small business

o.O Vote!? can you vote for stuff here?

It's all about luck... I had been in your same shoes, even when I knew what was wrong the Customer Service was dummy... But I had also been in the other side, so pleasant Customer Service that you also want to kiss the other person, no matter if they were able to solve your problem. Up to now I had quit just one Bank (Scotia Bank), they just sucks in my country, no good services, bad customer service and Visa Electron (hate that card, can't use it on internet and a lot of place due the lack of security stuff, it event have your name)

Funny because all my friends that are buying this kind of phones are Music and Movie fanatics... and lets not talk about Recording 4K videos.... they are like OHHH look what I can do with this camera.. and hahahaha dude you don't have storage!!! what will you do? Well I forgot to put that on my previous post, that it was for people that doesn't use the mobile phone, wait, the Smart phone just to do call and send text... I also have a Note 2 with 2 32Gb memories, one full of music and stuff, lets call it the daily use one, and one with movies for long trips (useful when there are kids in the car). so this is the case were I don't know how people can buy phones without external memory. (nexus nexus and Google drive!!! I know that is the plan!!!!)

Ohhh I remember that.. the Smart Terminals!!! just a Monitor and a keyboard!!!!

I was reading this: http://www.networkworld.com/article/2864772/cloud-storage/are-pc-hard-drives-destined-to-die-at-the-hand-of-the-cloud-maybe-analysts-say.html[^] nice article but as I was reading I was like dude this is not what people is learning, after the boom of everything in a Cloud people has learning that it's not good and they are learning to really use the Cloud Storing as it must be (please notice I'm not talking about Cloud Services, It's just storage)... My as an old user of PC, as a person that lives in a place that is not 100% 24/7 online with insane amount of Bandwidth, have always know the importance of working Offline... So, would I use Cloud Storage? yes, but not as the main and unique storage, that is kind of stupid for me, I use it as the Centralized Backup, I can backup everything but I will always use the local files (PC, Cell, Tablet, Console...) I don't want to: - Lost usability due lost of connection or services temporally down - Bandwidth, everybody in the cloud just to see a video, that is a waste of bandwidth. - ISP issued due bandwidth or maximum quota dependency, the stupid mobile service providers in my Country wants to sell 25MB plans but they will add a quota of a maximum of 6GB monthly download, if you goes over the 6GB then your internet speed goes to 128Kb In simple words having those Backups services are awesome, I'm sure I will not lost those important files anymore. (Still don't understand how people buy cellphones with just 16Gb and no external SD card slot!!!!!)

Hehehehe you better do Java and Open source, you will get a new popular flavor each Month!!! At least with MS you have one source only!!!

I agree with you... I think there are two kind of people here... - The ones that can better learn just doing stand alone research. - The ones that can better learn when pairing with experienced ones, going to war... I'm more of the 2nd type, I read, I research, yes, but if I'm not in a project that requires what I just read, I will go to a very dark place into my brain... unless I find a way to use it (have a project) I will then never try it.. ok I will have it in my memory, so in a future project I could recall it, use it then real learn it... there is where I love to work in good teams, when you are working together with experienced people you will learn crazy and useful secrets that you will just not notice in a book. (normally you could learn everything in a project or work in around 2-3 years, if the project is not good enough or too simple you will notice you get bored... time to something new) My best recommendation is: try to join an external project, just for education, that will help you, you will have a better reason to research and learn that just reading (normally I forgot what I read 2 pages ago...) plus contacting other people in the project will help (open source project, with good forums are good)

Thanks both for your answers... I see now that probably my question was not clear enought...

I've found that the answer to most questions about using Git is "make a new branch".

That is exactly what we do... the question is, when you finish with your Feature Brach, are you able to merge it into Develop? (at this point QA have one Release XX) That is the question, when are or aren't you allowed to merge. We are implementing Develo Code freeze until Release is close and merge, so all the pull request are applied at the end, it can be chaotic. So am I supposed to always merge after I finish into develop? I hasn't see any single graph or draw showing Dev-Features-Release-Production-Hotfix interaction all at the same time, they are always modularized and never show the intersection between all.

That is no Code Freeze over Develop... developers can close they Feature and merge in the right order. That sound good

That link gave me a good clue... When finishing a feature, it merges and deletes the local feature branch.... You can't do Develop code freeze if you applies that.. it sounds more as I like it and less as we are implementing it...

We are using git flow.. it uses 2 main Branch: Main <-- Current production, no one works here, you can create branches for hot fixes. Develop <-- you get branches and do you work (Features), at the end you merge all there. When a release is planed, they get a Branch, called Release-## and that one is in QA and you can en theory continue working in Develop and the Features branch so is like you said, but following the Git Flow logic, what we are not sure is when can we merge into Develop branch, and if we should or no do Code Freeze in Develop...

Hi everybody, me and my coworkers are new in Git, we just come from TFS, no one in the company had used Git before, we are totally noobs with Git. So here comes our big question... We don't know and it's not clear in the documentations (mostlry based on this http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/[^]) if: - When Release-XX is in QA, should Development be in Code Freeze, no new Features are added or bug fixings that doesn't comes from Release-XX? - Are we able to add or features after we end (following Pull request) or all the Pull request should be approved at the end some days before the new Release will be created? I personally believe Development is for Developers, so its free, if I finish a feature or bug it should go to Develop branch, without being queue for weeks, this avoids the chaos or merging all the Features in the same day. But we are doing Code Freeze in develop when there is a Release-XX branch in QA, and due there is always a Release-XX, I can't never Finish my Ticket until the Pull Request fails due other Pull request approvals, then I must re-do my Pull Request. If someone can give a good advice on how this should work, and provide links with documentation I would really appreciate it, I feel like we are in a Git-Chaos train
