So in your opinion, are Cordova apps also native apps?

Out of curiosity, what brain cancer does she have? I had a Grade II astrocytoma in 2013, came back in Sept 2015 as Grade III. Currently undergoing chemo and feeling fine (25 years old).

No, not because of that. In case you did not know, the companies are obligated to pay H1b employees more than the prevailing wage for that position in that county. This is something controlled by the Department of Labor.

I would say the biggest threat to Java is Oracle themselves.

Wow, this is still not automated in DC and NYC? I don't remember a time when it was not automated in Vienna.

It's not. I just have an instance of MongoDB running on a separate server.

sqlite would be great, or some NoSQL solution such as Mongo (though I see as that being less likely).

This looks exactly like something I've been looking for!

Curious, what kind of database (if any) backend is it using? If it's not using MySQL or anything heavy like that, I'm sold!

Amazing, I did not know this (and I use KDE). Thanks.

Phew, for a moment I thought that they will be focusing only on enterprise licenses and make Qt closed-source (which would probably be a suicide).

One day. One day I hope Xamarin will find a different financing model, or like you said include VS support in their indie plan. It's just far too expensive right now.

Ah, I understand what you're saying right now. Still, if this offer were to go through, I'm willing to bet that 95% of Americans will not know the parent company's name - as is the case today (a shock I see on everyone's face when I tell them that T-Mobile is essentially a German company, or at least owned by one).

I'm somewhat disturbed by the fact that Samsung (and Apple) seems to be the only one that is pushing for >= 10" tablets. I had a Galaxy Tab S Pro which is not that great (heard the Note line is very good). I ended up gifting it to my dad and I bought myself an iPad, even though I'm heavily invested in Android.

Nexus 10 has no successor, and LG is not coming out with anything with that diagonal, and now this.
