  • Microsoft Buys LinkedIn for $26.2 Billion

    Posted on Jun 13, 2016

    In a move that may surprise many, Microsoft just made a deal to buy LinkedIn,

    Right Posture vs Reality

    After another cross-country move, I've had to leave my mighty Workspace behind (complete with 2 monitors and a fierce Desktop PC).

    JS EU Logo

    I've recently read an interesting article, talking about the job market for JavaScript in 2016.
    While the article presented great points on why Web Developers should invest some time and work with JavaScript, the job & market related information was US-centric. I wanted to see how things look like on the European front.
