I was programming in C++ for a living when I fell in love with Java.
It was an unintended affair. At the time, I was following a trend with the
limited language of C++, which didn't even have operator overloading or
templates, but boasted simplicity and the ability to write the code once and
run it anywhere (otherwise known as WORA).
But Java came along and changed everything. In fact, despite what most people
say about Java in the mobile age, I still find it relevant, useful and an
important coding tool going forward.
Java's WORA was much maligned during its early years, but people tend to
forget how difficult things were before Java came along. Java was designed as
a language of minimalism: There are less ways to accomplish a certain task,
but that also makes it easy to go back in and make changes or corrections.
With free and open tools, it made tackling the issu... (more)

Web services from anywhere at any time. For your organization, this

Hybrid tools try to resolve the debate of …
“Should you write a mobile web application which will render on multiple
platforms without significant change but won’t be able to take advantage on
native features?”
Or
“Should you create platform specific native application to fully utilize
the power of the device but increase your effort?”
The basic premise of hybrid approach is that you can have your cake and eat
it to. In this approach you use the browser control and create a shell
application which is then used to render HTML pages. Since most of the
popular phone browsers are ... (more)
Cloud Expo Breaking News By Liz McMillan  One of the cloud’s biggest draws is the capability to virtualize computing resources, allowing it to be consumed with the click of a mouse. But behind that simple click is an enormous infrastructure challenge that has recently been cited as a major cause for slower enterprise adoption. Enterprises can better prepare for this shift and take full advantage of future computing benefits. Between architecture design and migration planning, the road can be long, so what do you do with your talent?

Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.

Reads: 40,816  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.
