2015 has been a monumental year for Cloud Technology and SaaS in particular. So much has happened, and so much has been discussed, and capturing the very best was not an easy task. Still, I managed to gather what I believe are the top 20 of 2015, from mistakes every SaaS vendor needs to avoid, to insights about the future of Microsoft.  

How to Install pgAdmin4 on Ubuntu 20.04/18.04/16.04?. This post has been written primarily to guide new users on installing pgAdmin 4 on Ubuntu 20.04/18.04/16.04. pgAdmin is a feature-rich and open source PostgreSQL administration and development platform that runs on Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows.

With pgAdmin you can manage PostgreSQL database servers, from version 9.2 using an intuitive and powerful web interface. We have guides on installing pgAdmin 4 on other platforms. 

In the eighteen years that I’ve been doing Web development, a lot has changed. We started out creating HTML pages to present static information to our users. We then used classic ASP to get database data and incorporate that into our pages. To use both of these technologies, we had to know a lot about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Along came .NET and we started rendering everything on the server-side. We forgot a lot about HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as Web Forms wrapped up a lot of that for us. Web Forms’ architecture closely mimicked the way developers created desktop applications. This was great for helping developers move to the Web, but unfortunately hid a lot of the power of the Web, and also tended to be a little slow. 

The first Extreme Programming project was started March 6, 1996. Extreme Programming is one of several popular Agile Processes. It has already been proven to be very successful at many companies of all different sizes and industries world wide

Keeping up with JavaScript frameworks can be a challenge. There are a lot of them, and seemingly another one every month. How do you know which ones might be right for your project? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How do you get started? 

Any experienced .NET developer knows that even though .NET applications have a garbage collector, memory leaks occur all the time. It’s not that the garbage collector has bugs, it’s just that there are ways we can (easily) cause memory leaks in a managed language.

Memory leaks are sneakily bad creatures. It’s easy to ignore them for a very long time, while they slowly destroy the application. With memory leaks, your memory consumption grows, creating GC pressure and performance problems. Finally, the program will just crash on an out-of-memory exception.

In this article, we will go over the most common reasons for memory leaks in .NET programs. All examples are in C#, but they are relevant to other languages.  

The first preview release of ASP.NET 1.0 came out almost 15 years ago.  Since then millions of developers have used it to build and run great web applications, and over the years we have added and evolved many, many capabilities to it. 

I'm excited today to post about a new release of ASP.NET that we are working on that we are calling ASP.NET 5.  

how hard can it be to write one? Also, if you are able to write one, how can you not understand it? Let’s go through the solution

The two most important topics I want to focus on in this post are:

• Repository Management
• Versioning Strategy

We have different options for each of them: You can go with Monorepos or Polyrepos for hosting your code, and you can pick different versioning methods like Semantic Release, Manual Versioning, Global Versioning, etc. I'll talk about each of them in the next sections.
