We’re just weeks away from Samsung’s next major launch event on August 23, and already we have a full visual of the device it is expected to unveil — the Galaxy Note 8.

That’s courtesy of prolific smartphone leaker Evan Blass — who correctly detailed Samsung’s Galaxy S8 before it was announced earlier this year — and a couple of photos of the apparently upcoming phone that he posted on Twitter. We don’t have precise specs at this point, but we can deduce a few things from the top image beyond the dual-camera-dual-flash array on the reverse. It looks like the Note 8 will sport a fingerprint scanner on its backside next to the camera, like the Galaxy S8, while it appears it will also borrow the S8’s Bixby button on its right side.

Google today launched the fourth and final developer preview of Android O, the latest version of its mobile operating system. As expected, there are no major changes in this release and, according to Google, the launch of Android O remains on track for later this summer. There’s still some time left before the official end of the summer (that’s September 22, in case you wondered), but given that Android Nougat was on a very similar schedule, I expect we’ll see a final release in August.

ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER record-breaking AI research study released by Google—this time with results that are a reminder of a crucial business dynamic of the current AI boom. The ecosystem of tech companies that consumers and the economy increasingly depend on is traditionally said to be kept innovative and un-monopolistic by disruption, the process whereby smaller companies upend larger ones. But when competition in tech depends on machine learning systems powered by huge stockpiles of data, slaying a tech giant may be harder than ever.

With the increasing prevalence of technology in our daily lives and the tech industry booming, it's no surprise that more and more people are considering picking up a career in coding. Developers are some of the most highly paid folks in the industry, and the pathway to becoming a developer isn't exactly a linear one, making it extremely appealing for those looking to make a switch.

But these days, it's essential for developers to know not just one coding language, but be able to leverage a few in order to build the most effective solution, design the most appealing app or create the most engaging and responsive website possible. That can be a pretty daunting task when there are literally hundreds of notable ones to choose from.

But for the fledgling developer ready to leave the nest, we have an easy first draft pick: learn Python first. Why?

Advances at Google, Intel, and several research groups indicate that computers with previously unimaginable power are finally within reach.
