Compilation can make or break the performance quality of an application. A developer might spend weeks creating the most elegant, efficient algorithm known to man, only to have it run at a snail’s pace in production because the compiler used to create the application’s executable binary is old, and not optimized to take advantage of […]

Open Mainframe Project: Zowe Ready for Prime Time
There is a lot of interest in updating mainframe technology/interfaces across traditional enterprises.

While 2018 was the year for planning and implementing shift-left methodologies in testing, mainframe and server testers were, for the most part, left behind.

Dependency Based Build Promotes the Freedom to Program
Whenever I want to be amazed, all I need to do is reflect on the fact that the continuing development of the Linux operating system is done essentially by a community of volunteers. That’s right!
