One year after its blockbuster $7.5 billion GitHub acquisition, Microsoft has acquired Pull Panda to bolster the developer service.

To fully understand why Windows was designed the way it was, we must go back in time. To before the beginning.

As I predicted, Microsoft is effectively killing UWP by ensuring that all its capabilities are available to once-legacy app development platforms.

Chrome OS and the Chromebooks on which it runs are now sophisticated enough for web and Android developers, Google says.

Google had previously announced plans to bring Flutter, its cross-platform mobile development framework, to the web.

I’m plenty-busy here in Seattle for Microsoft Build, but I wanted to at least provide a quick rundown of today’s Google I/O announcements

Coincidental with the first day of its I/O conference today, Google launched Android Q Beta 3, adding a new system-wide dark theme and more.

If you think Microsoft Build is boring, you’re missing the point. This isn’t a consumer press event. It’s a developer show.
