| 1409385 | 2015-10-07 08:20:00 | I meddled with javascript, html, perl, google app scripts, and a bit of xml/xpath for scraping web data. But never any focused programming as no real clear path to do so. As noted above, programming can change or remodified (like the new node.js). It depends what you want/incentive out of programming. I did it because I could, but not really gaining anything meaningful, just a new, albeit short term skill. As for universal apps from the tech giants, I see Microsoft and Google are now more in bed (dropping patent wars, (www.engadget.com) and working on a universal video codec (arstechnica.com) with Amazon/Others). But Apple/IOS, prefer to be on their own (or stubborn with proprietary formats), perhaps justifiably as they may have a different/affluent/larger audience to serve. Maybe subscribe to a tech/programming blog. A company I worked for, the IT staff, including some programmers, subscribed to blogs, and received posted copies of industry news, insights, and trends. The Gartner reports (www.gartner.com) we use to get, though strictly IT/hardware news, did include programming trends for corporate business from it's vast network of clients. |
