Developer Week in Review: Oracle sends Hudson on its way
Can Hudson and Jenkins get together now? Washington checks in on location. And why are you so stressed?

Developer Year in Review: Operating Systems
Windows 7 outshines Vista (not hard), Linux still in peril (hard luck), and the Mac App Store launches (hard sell)
Last year saw Linux fight free of one legal morass, and perhaps right into another; Microsoft take another swing at replacing XP; and Apple bring the App Store model to the desktop.
Developer Year in Review: Programming Languages
Java's wild ride, multicore drives functional, and a look at how the usual programming suspects stacked up in 2010.
