Don't go chasing waterfall ... development, that is. According to a recent
post by Madison Moore on Medium featuring insights from several software
delivery industry leaders, waterfall is - while still popular - not the best
way to win in the marketplace. With methodologies like Agile, DevOps and
Continuous Delivery becoming ever more prominent over the past 15 years or
so, waterfall is old news. Or, is it? Moore cites a recent study by Gartner:
"According to Gartner's IT Key Metrics Data report, the waterfall method as
employed on 56% of development efforts in 2015, with iterative methods used
in 21% of projects and agile in 23%." While Agile has been the buzzword of
the decade, it seems many organizations still haven't fully adopted the
practice yet. While many cite the fallbacks of waterfall development - no
feedback loops, rigid structure and requirements-based ... (more)

Can Developers Benefit from Regulatory Compliance?
Effectively SMBs and government programs must address compounded regulatory
compliance requirements. The most recent are Controlled Unclassified
Information and the EU's GDPR have Board Level implications. Managing
sensitive data protection will likely result in acquisition criteria,
demonstration requests and new requirements. Developers, as part of the
pre-planning process and the associated supply chain, could benefit from
updating their code libraries and design by incorporating changes.

The Path Towards a Future-Ready Finance
Digital transformation has increased the pace of business creating a
productivity divide between the technology haves and have nots. Managing

legacy technology investments in search of modern technologies to achieve
greater agility, reduced costs and organizational efficiencies. In this
session, learn how today's business leaders are managing finance in the cloud
and the essential steps required to get on the right path to creating an

I was recently asked to write a book review on Processing XML Documents with
JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra, among several other bloggers here, here, here
and here.
The thing about book reviews, like movie reviews, is the interpretation by
the reviewer is subjective. The trick is for you the review reader to work
out does the reviewer have the same tastes and likes as you. If yes that
should mean that the book review will be relevant to you potentially giving a
recommendation that suits your needs. If no you might miss a really good book
or waste a couple of those hard earned squid.
So where do I come from to help you assess if I'm "your" type of reviewer?
I'm a both a consultant *and* a trainer. I'm interested in how the story is
told as much as what is told. I'm looking for clear examples, a logical A-B-C

In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them
in any future revision of this newly expanded rou... (more)

SOA in the Cloud
It's Thursday morning, you're the CEO of a large, publicly traded company,
and you just called your executives into the conference room for the exciting
news. The board of directors has approved the acquisition of a key
competitor, and you're looking for a call-to-action to get everyone planning
for the next steps.
You talk to the sales executives about the integration of both sales forces
in three months time, and they are excited about the new prospects. You talk
to the HR director who is ready to address the change they need to make in
two months. You speak to the buildings and maintenance director who can have
everyone moved that needs to be moved in three months. Your heart is filled
with pride.
However, when you ask the CIO about changing the core business processes to
drive the combined companies, the response is much less enthusiastic. "Not... (more)

Apr. 25, 2018 10:00 PM EDT Reads: 6,952 | By Pat Romanski  When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it’s simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices. Building a sensor simulator is the next best choice; however, generating a realistic simulation at very high TPS with ease of configurability is a formidable challenge. When dealing with multiple application or transport protocols, you would be...

"Akvelon is a software development company and we also provide consultancy services to folks who are looking to scale or accelerate their engineering roadmaps," explained Jeremiah Mothersell, Marketing Manager at Akvelon, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 21st Cloud Expo, held Oct 31 – Nov 2, 2017, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
More and more brands have jumped on the IoT bandwagon. We have an excess of wearables – activity trackers, smartwatches, smart glasses and sneakers, and more that track seemingly endless datapoints. However, most consumers have no idea what “IoT” means. Creating more wearables that track data shouldn't be the aim of brands; delivering meaningful, tangible relevance to their users should be. We're in a period in which the IoT pendulum is still swinging. Initially, it swung toward "smart for smart's sake," and many brands remain in that corner. But many brands are also gradually opting for more ...
