Zeridian by ActiveState - Join the Beta

ActiveState is unveiling a new product and we'd like you to be a part of it. Research shows that over 60% of today's applications contain open source security vulnerabilities, and 85% are challenged with license compliance. The solution: Zeridian by ActiveState.

But we need your help! We're looking for a few good testers like you to find bugs and give us feedback on what you'd want to see around security, compliance and analytics of the programming languages you use.

ActivePerl 5.26 Released, Plus 5.24 and 5.22 Updates

We are pleased to announce that we have released not only the latest and greatest Perl 5 version to date, 5.26, but updates to 5.24 and 5.22 as well.

The Perl team has been working hard on performance and 5.26 is no different! Performance changes include improvements in hashing, readline, optimized array and hash assignment, conversion of a single digit string to a number, split, and reference assignment.

Dealing with Ruby Dependency Conflicts

Dependency hell: If you’ve done any significant amount of programming or system administration, no matter which framework you used, you’ve been there — you’ve found yourself bogged down in cross-dependency and package configuration issues.

While a certain amount of dependency resolution is a fact of life for most developers, there are tools that can help to manage it. How, you ask? This article discusses tools designed to mitigate dependency conflicts for Ruby programmers.

Making the Jump to Go: A Guide for Java Developers

If you’re a Java developer, chances are you’ve heard rumblings of a trendy new language that came out of Google: Go.

And if you're looking for ways to code faster and better, you may be asking yourself whether any of your existing applications are good candidates to move to Go. This article explores how to get started with Go development, the key differences between Java and Go, and whether Go is a better choice for application development than Java today.
