The new Xbox One Elite comes with a 1TB SSHD and Elite controller

The all-new Xbox One Elite Console, announced today, is for the most serious console gamers out there.




It features a 1TB solid state hybrid hard drive and the new customizable Elite controller for $499 in the US. Microsoft says the new SSHD hard drive means you’ll get into games 20 percent faster than the original Xbox One console and it automatically optimizes games and apps to open faster.

The Elite controller allows gamers to customize the thumbsticks, directional pad and paddles for gamers to get the controller to their liking.


As for the console itself, it doesn’t appear to be visually any different than the previous version of the Xbox One and the only internal difference appears to be the slightly speedier hard drive.

Microsoft also announced a new ‘lunar white‘ version of the Xbox One controller which adds ‘improved grip texture’ and comes in white and gold for $64.99.

Resources to help you get started on learning Ruby

Image
In an online chat session between Yukihiro Matsumoto and Keiju Ishitsuka in early 1993, a discussion ensued about the name of a programming language that Matsumoto was going to write. He wanted to satisfy his desire to have an  object-oriented scripting language , something that would craft virtual objects composed of data, and help them interact with one another. The alternatives at the time, Python and Perl, didn’t appeal to him; Python was too object-oriented and Perl having “the smell of a toy language.” Between “Coral” and “Ruby”, Matsumoto decided to go with the latter because it was the birthstone of one of his colleagues. You have probably heard about Ruby, and you might be wondering—what is all the fuss? For starters, it’s written in a very easy-to-use, intuitive manner For beginners who have tried teaching themselves a programming language, there are many obvious barriers like the syntax and semantics of a language. Ruby strives to eliminate some of those barrie...
