Today, I am excited to announce plans for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to bring an infrastructure Region to the Middle East! This move is another milestone in our global expansion and mission to bring flexible, scalable, and secure cloud computing infrastructure to organizations around the world. Based in Bahrain, this will be the first Region for AWS in the Middle East.

Many people have contacted me recently about switching from Solaris (or illumos) to Linux, especially since most of the Solaris kernel team were let go this year (including my former colleagues, I'm sorry to hear). This includes many great engineers who I'm sure will excel in whatever they choose to work on next. They have been asking me about Linux because I've worked for years on each platform: Solaris, illumos, and Linux, in all cases full time and as a subject matter expert.

A blog post from a few years ago that really stuck with me was Martin Olsson’s Browser Engines 2015: Commit Rates and Active Developer Counts , where he shows information about the number of authors and commits to popular web browsers. The graphs and analysis had interesting takeaways like showing the obvious split in blink and webkit, and relative number of contributors of the projects.

I’m super excited to be able to say that I’ve joined Mark, Steve, and Tammy at SpeedCurve! I’ve watched how Mark has shown over the last couple of years that performance monitoring doesn’t have to be dry and data-heavy; it can be insightful, interactive, and actionable. I’ve also been a follower of Steve’s work for many years.

I’ve been developing web applications for as long as I can remember and there are certain repetitive tasks that I do between the development and deployment of each final product. For example, current web standards demand that web resources like CSS, and JavaScript be minified or images be compressed. We could easily do this by hand or with helper applications, but why would you want to?

This article titled " Wie Unternehmen vom Vormarsch des maschinellen Lernens profitieren können " appeared in German last week in the "Digitaliserung" column of Wirtschaftwoche. When a technology has its breakthrough, can often only be determined in hindsight. In the case of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), this is different. ML is that part of AI that describes rules and recognizes patterns from large amounts of data in order to predict future data.

Kubernetes can be an ultimate local development environment particularly if you are wrangling with a large number of microservices. In this post, we will cover how you can create a local development workflow using Minikube and tools such as Make to iterate fast without the wait imposed by your continuous integration pipeline. With this workflow, you can code and test changes immediately.

We've improved our already fantastic interactive waterfall chart with a new collapsed mode that highlights all the key browser events. This lets you quickly scan all the events that happen as the page loads and if you scrub your mouse across the waterfall you can easily correlate each event to what the user could see at that moment. Along with all the browser metrics you also get to see our new hero rendering times in context.

Back in 2014 I started The Polyglot Developer on WordPress with the intention of documenting what I learn and helping others in the process. However, back then, it was not called The Polyglot Developer, but instead Nic Raboy’s Code Blog. The blog was later rebranded in early 2016, but the look and feel stayed the same. I am pleased to announce the new version of The Polyglot Developer and a few important things that have changed with this version 2 release.

I try to be better tomorrow than I am today. I am constantly thinking about what my strengths are and what I’m weak at. It is impossible to be good at everything though. That means needing to be selective with how I spend my time on improving. What will give me the most value for my time? This thought process is more than for just personal growth too.

"We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas." -- Ned Flanders' mom, "The Simpsons", season 8 episode 8: Hurricane Neddy We're constantly being told by the popular business press that we live in an "ideas economy," where survival is a function of disruption because consumer behaviors and emerging technologies are conspiring to obsolete the economics of established businesses.

Please check out a new blog post I created detailing how SQL Server 2017 is Fast, Built-In. Faster than you think running on Linux, using Columnstore, and with right features and configuration. How we keep you fast and tuned with Adaptive Query Processing and Automatic Tuning. And we are the fastest database everywhere you need it: On the planet or in the cloud.

I’m at Shop.org this week, having really interesting conversations with online retailers. What I love about talking with this crowd is that – like me – they're super focused on user-perceived performance. Not surprisingly, we have a lot to talk about. Making customers happy is the not-so-secret secret to retail success. Delivering a fast, consistent online experience has been proven to measurably increase every metric retailers care about – from conversions and revenue to

Over the weekend, I took a shot to build something new in React. React is a JavaScript library to build user interfaces. React was open sourced by Facebook and since then it has gained popularity over other frontend frameworks such as Angular, Vue, etc. To start, I have a good experience in JavaScript and I have built several applications using Node, Express, and Angular.

I was recently attending NativeScript Developer Day 2017 in New York City, which is Telerik’s very own NativeScript conference. This was a fantastic conference where I was not only a participant, but also a speaker at the event. At this event I had given a fresh presentation titled, Native to Hybrid and Back Again , where I had discussed my own personal experiences when it came to mobile application development.

So you’ve spent time creating an awesome mobile application, but how do you know how it is performing in each of the available app stores? How can you gauge the user interactions with your application to better improve what you’ve built? The easiest way, and in my opinion the best way, would be to incorporate Google Analytics. With Google Analytics we can track application events, screen views, and other things without leaking any identifiable information about the user.

I like time estimates when building software. This isn’t a popular opinion, but time estimates have some valuable uses so long as they aren’t abused. Time is the most valuable resource anyone or any company has. I like making sure my time is spent well. I want the greatest return possible on any of my time investments. In software this means working on the features that provide the most value for the time spent.
