Microsoft's VS Code now in the "Cloud"

I'm really excited about the progress Microsoft has made especially with adding VS Code into the "cloud" for development. There are lots of reasons why I am happy about VS Code, but the top reason is the need for local space for my personal media and content (which means less space for installing tools and IDEs). Plus, the ability to work anywhere (with a browser), anytime, makes "work remotely" even a bigger benefit. Of course, this comes with the strong assumption that one can access the Internet and the network has high bandwidth and speed.

Quick Refresher: Functional Programming vs Imperative (Procedural) Programming

Hey! It's been a while, and I'm just posting this real quick and then back to learning. (I have a steep learning curve ahead of me in order to catch up from being stuck in the new dark ages of coding. Blah.)

Functional programming vs Imperative programming

I have not heard of this term "imperative programming" until I started learning more about the the Reactive Programming. So, I looked it up and found this nice article by Microsoft providing a brief explanation:

Also, Microsoft's Ignite (online conference) is coming up soon!
