Mind the Drupal Talent Shortage

Added By Tony Byrne on 16-May-2012

I had lunch the other day with a couple of acquaintances who work at a systems integrator (SI) that does a lot of work for the federal government (a.k.a., "beltway bandit").

They pointed out that, like SharePoint of yore, Drupal was all the rage among US federal web managers under this current administration. So naturally this SI went looking for experienced Drupal talent. And could not find any ... Continue Reading

Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width - Big Data's emerging problem

Added By Matt Mullen on 8-May-2012

Big Data is may be a buzzword, yet it's certainly generating interesting discussions. Over the last month or two, I been party to a number of really interesting sessions - such as the CW500 event I mentioned previously - and with recent acquisitions in this space, the question is becoming less about whether Big Data is possible, and more about how it can be applied in the enterprise.

For me this raises the question of quality ... Continue Reading

FT.com bets on HTML5 in lieu of native apps

Added By Apoorv Durga on 3-May-2012

The esteemed Financial Times is ready to pull the plug on its iOS native apps and instead replace them with an HTML5-based app.

Reportedly, the so called "Apple Tax" -- whereby developers pay 30% of revenues to Apple -- along with lack of access to customer data, are the main reasons prompting FT.com to follow others ... Continue Reading

Google, Dropbox, Box, SharePoint, and others battle in the cloud

Added By Apoorv Durga on 27-Apr-2012

Google finally released its much rumored Google Drive, a new competitor in the increasingly crowded cloud-based file sharing and sync marketplace. As with all things Google, the Drive announcement generated a huge amount of hype across the blogosphere and twitterverse.

Many commentators compare Drive with Dropbox and to some extent Microsoft's SkyDrive and Apple's iCloud. However, there are many, many more choices ... Continue Reading

Added By Kashyap Kompella on 26-Apr-2012

APIs Are Not Lego

Added By Matt Mullen on 23-Apr-2012

As a child I loved Lego. And when I say "as a child", I really mean "I still love Lego, but don't want to admit it". Recently a large new shopping complex opened not far from where I live, bringing with it a new Lego shop. In the centre of the shop are large perspex bins containing all the requisite parts to construct your own, bespoke "minifig" (or as non Lego fans might prefer "Lego people"). There's an hour of my life that I'm not going to get back ... Continue Reading
