I’m finishing the third(!) week of teaching Flex. The first half of June
I’ll spend doing some regular consulting work, and then another two weeks
of corporate training. The use of Flex technologies is picking up in the
corporate world, but hiring managers are clearly facing challenges caused by
the lack of qualified software developers on the market. Solution? Re-train
your own people.
Well, it’s not exactly a complete solution, because after a week of
training, a senior Java developer becomes a Flex rookie, but at least these
people are familiar with business.
Finding a qua... (more)
Have you ever attended software training? If yes, have you enrolled
voluntarily or your employer required you to get re-trained to get extra
points for your annual review? If so, was that class useful other than
getting these points?
In my blog “Notes of a traveling contract trainer ” I promised to write a
sequel from the student’s point of view. You got it.
If you work for a large corporation, the chances are high that you are
entitled for taking one or two training classes each year. In some cases you
even get to choose which classes to attend. I mean off-sight training. But

Reads: 5,212  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in. Reads: 3,225  Further cementing its position as The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World, the organizers of the 7th Cloud Expo, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, announced today that the event will also feature – on November 2nd, 2010 – a CloudCamp unconference.
CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon. Reads: 74,972 |
