Pie in the Sky (August 1st, 2014)

Missed last week as I was out of town, so catching up a bit this week.

Cloud

• Packer.io, OpenNebula, Docker, Kubernetes: Coming to Azure & Hyper-v

• Responsive images as a service: From Telerik

Client/Mobile

• A quick look at Winjs: Another thing MSOpen Tech has worked on open sourcing. Cross-platform UI stuff.

• Polymer vs. X-Tag: Differences between the two.

• Sharing styles across web components with Polymer and core-style: Reusing stuff FTW!

  Node.js

• V8 memory corruption and stack overflow: Fixed in Node.js v0.8.28 and v.0.10.30.

• Current detection with Johnny-Five: Hardware stuff meets Node.js

• Generate ASCII boxes: It's the late 80's all over again.

• Node.js tools for VS 1.0 beta 2: New bits for Node.js devs that use Visual Studio.

Misc.

• Call for Kinect samples: MSOpen Tech is looking for some samples for the Kinect.

• Open Source OneNote libraries for Android and iOS: Because OneNote rocks.

• Introduction to WAI-ARIA: Because the web must be more accessible.

• Blockies: For icons.

• Octohost: Docker based mini-PaaS.

Enjoy!
