I've always said that when a new version of something comes out, you should always "let the scouts take the arrows." Basically, let the testers see if everything is ok before giving the go-ahead to start using it. 

Main course contains 2 parts which cover JavaScript as a programming language and working with a browser. There are also additional series of thematic articles. 

Here are some excellent one-page / single-page websites to check out. There are a variety of website types included in this showcase — online portfolios, restaurants, mobile apps, and more. I hope looking at these one-page sites will give you ideas and inspiration for your web design projects.

An open source checklist of resources designed to improve your online privacy and security. Check things off to keep track as you go. 

Linus Torvalds talks AI, Rust adoption, and why the Linux kernel is 'the only thing that matters'

Switching to a more modern topic, the introduction of the Rust language into Linux, Torvalds is disappointed that its adoption isn't going faster. "I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust."

There is a lesser know .gitattributes file that can control a bunch of Git settings that you should consider adding to almost every repository as a matter of course.

This Bootstrap theme is an easy way to use the new Material Design guidelines by Google in your Bootstrap 3 based application. Just include the theme right after the Bootstrap CSS and include the javascript at the end of your document, everything will be converted to Material Design (paper) style

The Problem

What they neglect to say is all that testability and persistence ignorance flies right out the window when you create a new ASP.NET Web Application using the MVC template and "Individual User Accounts" authentication. What you get is a single-layered application, tightly coupled to Entity Framework, that:

• Ignores the patterns that facilitate testing, including: the repository pattern, unit of work pattern, and dependency injection;

• Forces you to implement their IUser interface in your application’s User entity, thereby coupling it to ASP.NET Identity;

• Eliminates any clear separation between your entities, persistence concerns, and business logic. Persistence ignorance? Forget about it.

Thankfully, due to the extensibility designed into ASP.NET Identity, it is possible to ditch the reference to the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.EntityFramework assembly and write a custom implementation that can address these and other architectural issues. Just be forewarned: it is not a trivial undertaking, and you’ll have to put up with some code smell that is baked into the Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.Core assembly.
