TIOBE ranking of popular languages is out!
This month's ranking of TIOBE languages was very tight! Indeed, the difference between some languages is so small that it can be counted in decimal! The C language is once again at the top of the list, followed very closely by Java and Python. Only 0.67% separates the first three languages. Here are the top 5 languages at the top of the ranking:
- C (11,62%)
- Java (11,17 %)
- Python (10,95 %)
- C++ (8,01 %)
- C# (4,83 %)

Gmail's plan to combat email fraud
Email fraud has not started yesterday. However, it's becoming more and more common. How many fake company emails have you received in the past 3 months? Chances are that this number is high. That's why Gmail has decided to tackle phishing with certified logos. This means that certified and trusted companies will have their official logos as an avatar. This way, it'll be easier to distinguish between legitimate email and phishing. For more on this Gmail tactic, see the full article in the Metro Journal.
