JavaScript is Uniting Microsoft and Google
-
Microsoft and Google are coming together to build Google's AngularJS on Microsoft's TypeScript. Now I bet this is something that you didn't see coming!
-
Gotta love that strict typing!
I know I sure do
-
Nice. @QuixoticAndy and I were just talking about AngularJS and TypeScript this week. Perfect timing.
-
Cool. I've been using TypeScript with Node.js recently. Hopefully building Angular on TypeScript will make strong typing in MEAN applications that much smoother.

Now if only they'd make something to replace the horrible flash and sliverlight for video, since HTML5 has failed at that as it only supports a playback of files rather than a specific standardized codec/format.
-
@thecreativeone91 I thought that the HTML5 spec was going to have specific file and codec types specified. Was that dropped?

No. it just provides a way to present the video. It's up to the browser to support the codec. H.264 is the most common, but even then there are differnt types as it's a GOP codec there's I frames and P frames. where I frames are key frames and P frames are rendered by the computer as inbetween frames at the time of playback using a lot more cpu. All I frames take less cpu usage but are much bigger in size.
