The Hacker’s Tribute Vol. 10 explores blockbuster titles such as: .NET Core 6 – the Return, Visual Studio: the Mac Edition, or 25 Ways to Programme, and many more!
Greetings Coders!
Summer break is here, whether you like it or love it!
Some people tend to exercise over the colder months, preparing for the beach. I, on the other hand, have been honing my skills for the announcement of .NET Core 3.0.
Others are learning Italian, for their upcoming Roman holiday. I’ve been brushing up on my Visual Studio Code. Some are studying for a speed boat permit, or a permit to study abroad! I’m speeding up my Android Gradle Builds. The adventures here are off the hook, it’s as if I’m living a movie.
And there’s a lot more where that came from. It’s a thrill ride, worth more than any summer blockbuster. In fact, bring out the popcorn, because we are the original summer blockbuster!
Our exclusive summer blockbuster issue is packed with thrills to bring you to the edge of your ergonomic seat, laughs to annoy your project group leader, and technological dramas to unhinge the temperature-controlled atmosphere. Heat up some popcorn and check it out now!
Bon Spectacle!
