I’m a big fan of online editors that generate graphs as you type pseudocode DSL. They update as you type, and re-arrange themselves to best fit the screen. The ones I frequent include:
And the latest discovery
I’ll update this post if I come across any more.
During Service Fabric Q&A in May, Subramanian Ramaswamy replied to a question that the primitives to build a pub-sub system are there, and linked to an example by Azure CAT:

The old adage about open-source is to think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer”… until now.
With DIY Dog we wanted to do something that has never been done before as well as paying tribute to our home-brewing roots. We wanted to take all of our recipes, every single last one, and give them all away for free, to the amazing global home-brewing community.
So here it is. The keys to our kingdom. Every single BrewDog recipe, ever. So copy them, tear them to pieces, bastardise them, adapt them, but most of all, enjoy them. They are well travelled but with plenty of miles still left on the clock. Just remember to share your brews, and share your results. Sharing is caring.
I think next on my list of homebrews is, “Islay Whisky Aged IPA.” Thanks BrewDog!

Now how do I convert this to BeerXML.
Today, Microsoft bought Xamarin, a software company whose tools allow you to write cross-platform native mobile apps in C#.
I say this is a boost for Xamarin because it should greatly drive adoption if it presumably gets bundled in Visual Studio for free, in lieu of the pricey license previously needed for the toolset.
I was a huge advocate of WPF, XAML, and MVVM coming off winforms. However, with the advent of data-binding on the web with the likes of angular, the death of Silverlight, and the lack of direction for WPF, I’m sad to say XAML is a dying language. Acquiring Xamarin will give it one last dying breath, but this too shall pass.
Just like TFS conceded to git, XAML/C# couldn’t defeat HTML/JavaScript as seen with WinRT.
As exciting as this announcement is, I still have my money on HTML and JavaScript (e.g. Ionic and Cordova.)
microXchg 2016, the two-day Microservices Conference, just wrapped up in Berlin.
Lucky for us, they published all the videos on their youtube channel.
