Why Java Developers Will Embrace Angular 2 and TypeScript
Most of the Java developers I know don’t like JavaScript. Initially. They
would give you different reasons why, but the real one is simple: too much to
learn to make it work. For many Java developers creating the front end of a

working on Linux in the early 1990s. Today, Linux runs our lives. The Android
operating system that runs so many Google phones is based on Linux. When you
open a phone app like Twitter or Facebook and pull down all those tweets and
status updates, you’re tapping into massive computer data centers filled
with hundreds of Linux machines. Linux is the foundation of the... (more)

In a previous article, I demonstrated how to effectively and efficiently
install the Dynatrace Application Monitoring solution using Ansible. In this
post, I am going to explain how to achieve the same results using Chef with
our official dynatrace cookbook available on GitHub and on the Chef
Supermarket. In the following hands-on tutorial, we'll also apply what we see
as good practice on working with and extending our deployment automation
blueprints to suit your needs.
Introduction to Chef
Chef supports a variety of use-cases in the enterprise and as such comes with
a wide arr... (more)
