Discussion on "Developing web applications on Windows 10"

Usually web developers that don't work with Microsoft technologies don't use Windows because they prefer UNIX-like operating system such as Apple's MacOS or popular Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and other. UNIX-like operating syste...

There's a big con for Docker on Windows. It requires Hyper-V, which is not available in Windows 10 Home (only Professional or above), which the vast majority of laptops have pre-installed. Shell out more $$$ to get Professional if you want to use Docker. That $600 laptop from Best Buy won't do it.

You seem to be confusing what a terminal and what a shell are -- they are NOT the same thing -- to list hyperterminal, JUST hyperterminal by itself is nonsensical gibberish when put alongside BASH and PowerShell -- since those are SHELLS and HT is just a terminal that does nothing without a server (which may involve a shell) to log into.

... and really if you want a quality terminal program with actual modern options, that's what Putty is for. Hyperterminal is a cute toy for pretending you're dialing into a BBS 1980's style...

ALSO not sure what in blazes that has to do with making web applications -- though really NOTHING you listed seems to have the first bloody thing to do with web application development regardless of platform; since if you're making native binaries you are NOT making web applications.

... unless we have radically different definitions of the term -- which seems to happen a LOT these days as people start throwing the terminology at things that have NOTHING to do with it.

Jason Knight, ah yes, we're talking about different things. I was referring to a terminal software called Hyper (hyper.is). In article I used 'Hyper Terminal' instead of only 'Hyper' so it's misleading. My bad, I'll correct article when I catch some time. But to be honest it's ridiculous that new Hyper is called like that because there already is terminal with basically same name.

Ivan Bernatović Ah, ok, that makes a HELL of a lot more sense. Never heard of it, but I'll give it a once-over. NEVER hurts to at least look at another tool -- never know when it might be the right one for the job.

I thought you were talking about this: hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal

A dumbed down version of which was included with Windows from Win95 through Win7, and legacy versions of the parent program HyperAccess pre-dates MS-DOS on 8 bit Heathkit machines. I can't remember if it was in 8 or not, but it's definitely gone as of 10.

Well, now that's a horse of a different colour.

Jos Fabre read the replies, turns out I thought he was talking about an entirely different program. When someone says "Hyper Terminal" I think of this:

hilgraeve.com/hyperterminal

Which spent over a decade and a half being bundled with Windows. If that had been what he was referring to, the entire post was gibberish. Turns out what he meant was this:

hyper.is

Which is a completely unrelated program.

World of difference. The latter is just called "Hyper", not "Hyper Terminal"... and it's a really s**t choice of name given how much confusion that could cause.
