Claris launched FileMaker 19, an open platform that extends low-code development using readily-available JavaScript libraries. 

“As cost pressure grows in our rapidly-changing world, companies need to innovate quickly to boost productivity and deliver for their customers,” said Brad Freitag, the CEO of Claris. “That critical agility is at the core of FileMaker 19 as we open the Claris Platform to the most popular programming language on the planet.”

Gremlin’s Windows Chaos Experiments
From within the Gremlin app, engineers can run chaos experiments on any Windows OS (Server 2008 and later, client Vista and later) in order to build confidence in the reliability of Windows applications and services.

The Windows Agent currently allows users to run Shutdown, CPU, Disk, I/O, Memory, and Blackhole attacks. The remaining attacks are in development, according to the company. 

“For example, you can run a shutdown attack to test your Windows Server Failover clustering and build a robust Active Directory service. Attack your network to ensure SQL Server replication doesn’t lose data. And finally, guarantee reliable communications by attacking your Microsoft Exchange Server,” Gremlin wrote in a blog post.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles.

That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice.

Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
