The book "Clean code" from Robert C. Martin has the subtitle: "A Handbook of Agile Software Craftmanship". It comes up with some nice ideas. Many of them you might know, but hidden in the book are some other ideas. Overall it’s well written and easy to read. And compared to the book "Code Craft" much thinner so faster to read (Although Code Craft is a very good book, and a must read for prgrammers!). Overall a nice book if you want to get into the idea of writting quality code.

Open Grid Forum – Day 4
March 5th, 2009 • Comments OffToday was another interesting day @OGF 25. One session hosted by Wolfgang Gentzsch and Martin Antony Walker dealt with the topic: From Grids to Clouds. Interesting ideas and thoughts what the similarities are. Also some nice ideas about which applications would favor HPC, Grid or Cloud based solutions.
My talk in this session was about the RESERVOIR project: http://www.ogf.org/OGF25/materials/1596/20090224_RESERVOIR_overview_tmetsch-v0.1.pdf
Here are some more pictures from OGF. Not the best weather today but still a nice meeting area:
Open Grid Forum – day 3
March 5th, 2009 • Comments OffOkay it’s already the 4th day of the OGF. but nevertheless I wanted to blog about day 3. Not much was going on – Some interesting presentations about Cloud computing and GreenIT. Besides that networking was more or less the thing to do. Talk to people, get ideas and share thoughts about Cloud and Grid computing.
OGF – Cloud Interface API – BoF
March 3rd, 2009 • Comments OffThe BoF session which was hosted at OGF was a success. Over 100 people showed up and the interest was great.
