    Welcome to the Red Hat® Developer Newsletter.You may remember from last month that we planned to discuss coding and pumpkins, but we've forgotten what we intended to cover. :( Was it cooking and pumpkins? Or was it about planting pumpkins in Minecraft? So, we put on our thinking caps and came up with the most logical answer for a developer newsletter: coding with pumpkin beer. :) Enjoy the season. And enjoy the coding using Red Hat developer tools.

    On the big news front, Red Hat announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire FeedHenry, a leading enterprise mobile application platform provider. FeedHenry expands Red Hat's broad portfolio of application development, integration, and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions, enabling Red Hat to support mobile application development in public and private environments. Founded in 2010, FeedHenry is a leader in mobile enterprise application platform technologies. By helping organizations accelerate development and collaboration on mobility projects, FeedHenry gives organizations greater agility, visibility, and efficiency.

     

    If you have any questions or requests for topics, please reply to this email. Enjoy the articles, and happy coding.

    Why Python 4.0 won't be like Python 3.0, by Nick Coghlan, Red Hat

    "Newcomers to python-ideas occasionally make reference to the idea of 'Python 4000' when proposing backwards incompatible changes that don't offer a clear migration path from currently legal Python 3 code. After all, we allowed that kind of change for Python 3.0, so why wouldn't we allow it for Python 4.0?" Read the entire article.

    Recent developer news

    Red Hat Rolls Out New JBoss Developer Subscription, Resources, and Technology

    Red Hat unveiled a new developer subscription program and resources for members of the JBoss Developer community. In conjunction, Red Hat launched the next version of its award-winning integrated development environment, Red Hat® JBoss® Developer Studio 8.

    The new JBoss Developer program is a no-cost subscription designed to improve the accessibility of Red Hat's enterprise open source middleware technologies for developer use. The program gives developers more choice and flexibility in terms of the technologies they start with, and enables them to better plan and prepare for future deployment into production environments.

    JBoss Developer Studio is an integrated development environment designed to support the full application development life cycle. Version 8 introduces support for AngularJS and Ionic for building Apache Cordova (HTML5 hybrid) mobile applications. Based on the latest version of Eclipse, JBoss Developer Studio 8 also introduces Forge 2, which adds a new wizard-driven approach to code generation. A candidate release of JBoss Developer Studio 8 is available for download now.

    Some recent blog articles

    The transition to multilingual programming with Python, by Nick Coghlan, Red Hat

    "A recent thread on python-dev prompted me to summarise the current state of the ongoing industry-wide transition from bilingual to multilingual programming as it relates to Python's cross-platform support. It also relates to the reasons why Python 3 turned out to be more disruptive than the core development team initially expected." Read the entire article.

    Improving GCC's internals, by David Malcolm, Red Hat

    If you've done any C or C++ development on Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux®, you'll have used GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection.

    Red Hat has long been a leading contributor to GCC, and this continues as we work with others in the "upstream" GCC community on the next major release: GCC 5. Read the entire article.
