Microsoft's Development Center has a lot of good information on building apps as well as documentation on all the APIs. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/apps

The Apps for Office API seems to be fairly limited right now to reading from a document and inserting text and images. For insertion, you can only insert data at the cursor point o…

Excel supports task pane and content apps. So for a task pane app like this, it would be possible to make the same app work in both Word and Excel by modifying the "Capabilities" p…

In college, we had a few weeks of Humans v. Zombies with nerf guns. Those games are so fun.

This is adorable. It always makes my day to read about the creative things people do with friends.

Way better than a simple "Oops, page not found, blah, blah, blah"

This looks like fun. I'm totally cool with them having my data. Just give me pretty graphs. :)

I had to ask seemingly "dumb" questions a lot when I started programming. I switched to software after having been a classical musician for many years and the transition in just le…

hehe, yeah, I've been through this several times. I think it's funny when the recruiters try and lie at the beginning by saying a later interviewer may or may not be out sick and t…

Many users have already been adding random people for the social games that have been going for a few years now. Like Farmville or Sorority Life. I know several people who ended up…

So many pretty things! I'm a huge fan of seeing what people can do with HTML5.

Oh this is cool! As a programmer and ex-musician, this definitely gets the wheels turning in my head. Thanks for sharing!

This article is a welcome reminder that I've been intending to do this. Somehow, I usually remember all the things I want to do around 2am and then forget them again by the morning…

I can't get the page to load, but judging by the title, this is something I desperately need as a programmer with zero aesthetic talent.

There is no chance that I would pay Facebook a monthly fee. I love Facebook, but I would start using it differently or jump ship entirely if I suddenly had to start paying for it.

Somehow, I totally managed to forget about these! Sad, as they would have made awesome Christmas presents for some of my geek friends.

Wow, that's fascinating. I occasionally tell some of my friends that it wouldn't hurt to pick up programming, but I never expect anyone to actually go do it. I like the idea of thi…

Does he have a lot of little knick-knacks in his workspace? If so, you could get some sort of geeky toy, like a usb rocket launcher. If not, get something edible so he doesn't have…

If the load is lighter because the aircraft doesn't need to carry liquid oxygen, then does that mean it requires less fuel? Or does oxygen-powered mean it requires no fuel? I'm a b…

This is fantastic! This tool is actually perfect for someone like me who doesn't feel nearly as comfortable with front-end development. I always have to do a lot of playing around …

Thanks for posting. This is actually pretty critical to be aware of. I've seen problems come up a handful of times when developers weren't paying attention to timezones. The code w…

This is pretty awesome. It will make it so much easier to prepare for code reviews and be able to tell someone about how much time it will take to do one.

kind of like Bauhaus style? I think that's where Metro was inspired from too

I read these things and wish so desperately that I was this creative. Mind. Blown.

Mormons love to be asked this question
