I spent a few hours while on CodePen, and after I picked my jaw up from the floor, I put together a collection of my favorite CodePen.IO demos. Draw Worm Draw Worm is an eye-catching, canvas-based animation that creates branches; better yet, the animation follows the mouse, creating more branches. Navigation Knob Navigation Knob, created with only HTML and CSS, is a circlear knob which illuminates the selected value when clicked. Trail Trail is another cavas-based masterpiece which creates different color rays that follow the user's mouse at an accelerated rate. Nothing is Beyond You Nothing is Beyond You is another no-JavaScript demo, abusing CSS animations and shapes to create an underwater bubbling effect. Twisty Linjer

We will see what happens when you type google.com in the address bar until you see the Google page on the browser screen. The browsers we will talk about There are five major browsers used on desktop today: Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera. The browser's main functionality The main function of a browser is to present the web resource you choose, by requesting it from the server and displaying it in the browser window.

TIOBE Software: Tiobe Index TIOBE Index for January 2016 January Headline: Java is TIOBE's Programming Language of 2015! Java has won the TIOBE Index programming language award of the year. This is because Java has the largest increase in popularity in one year time (+5.94%). Java leaves runner ups Visual Basic.NET (+1.51%) and Python (+1.24%) far behind. Java's rise goes hand in hand with Objective-C's decline (-5.88%). So what is the outlook for 2016? The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator of the popularity of programming languages. The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date or to make a strategic decision about what programming language should be adopted when starting to build a new software system.

What is the Best Programming Language to Learn in 2013? An interesting article caught my eye at jobstractor.com — the programming language trends review. The company analyzed more than 60,000 job vacancies during 2012 to produce a chart of the most sought-after technologies: Despite developer complaints, demand for PHP and Java (server/Android) remains strong. But there are a number of surprises: Even if we combine ASP.NET and C# figures, why is Microsoft’s technology stack so low? Part of this can be explained if we look at the relative changes in demand from the beginning of 2012 to the end: JavaScript demand has increased faster than any other language. iOS and Android have also increased at an identical rate. Before you make too many judgments, consider how this data is collated. In addition, there can be significant regional differences. If you were expecting this article to recommend the most lucrative language of 2013 you’ll be disappointed. Never use job vacancy statistics as a reason for learning a language!
