Hello viewers , hope you have been enjoying the preceding politico-ecnomico posts . Now I am bringing some exciting stuff for the Tech lovers . Yes , you guessed it right i am talking about Github’s whooping 7.5 Billion dollar acquirement by Microsoft . The deal which made a huge storm in the industry . 7.5 Billion dollar is a hell lot of money , it is 30x the revenue of GitHub .
So why did Microsoft make such a move ?? Lets analyse this question with another question - what really GitHub is ?? For all the viewers from the non coding and programming background , GitHub is a version control platform that connects people from various parts from the world working in similar projects , thus not only saving time and resources but also improving the working of the new version by a diverse set of opinions. In short a platform where developers interact and have a community of their own . Microsoft acquiring something of this sort hints us that the company is trying to make a big leap in the terms of developer based applications , and things like Visual Studio and other open source software will start coming up more often . They are gonna restrict themselves to this one thing that really made Microsoft what it really is . They are now investing less in hardware and more in software . This was expected after the sad demise of Microsoft lumia.
This move just indicates , and is a good news for computer engineers and programmers , that the future is sure to be dominated by this fraternity , and Microsoft thinks making applications , software , and other developer tools is the potential market of the future . This move also hints us that Microsoft is trying to scale up the limits of Azure , The Microsoft Cloud Service .
According to me this vision of theirs is very apt and is gonna take the company to greater heights as they have understood the future market and the trend very well . The company is trying to inhibit its primitive vision of creating developer tools , the main forte and specialisation of Microsoft . But still the people in the industry are not very sure of this move because of prior failed investment like Nokia .
" But I strongly feel the company has undergone a tectonic shift under the leadership of Satya Nadella, and have made great investments like Linkedin and now Github .. So lets wait and watch how this one turn out …… "
Really informative !
