Programming News - Developers

This thread is for you to post programming news that interests you or others in the Facepunch programming community, and why it matters. This is [b]not[/b] for news from your own projects, see WAYWO for that. I guess I'll start off: Boost.Nowide is requesting a review in the Boost mailing list. If it gets a formal review, and accepted then writing Unicode applications in Windows while being portable will be possible. I'd cite this but it's not in the archives yet.

To be honest, I don't really see what the point of this is with /r/programming and HN around.

[QUOTE=Overv;37660836]To be honest, I don't really see what the point of this is with /r/programming and HN around.[/QUOTE] It's Facepunch orientated, for our interests. Since we're basically a small community it'd be interesting to see what we all find exciting and interesting outside of our own projects. NoWide obviously isn't going to get upvoted in r/programming. Neither would any OpenGL tidbits and things.

I think this is useful. I completely missed the Dreamspark release of Windows 8 and VS 2012.
