Today is the 5th birthday of blogs.sun.com Although I’m not that long with Sun. I love this efforts of having the employee blog. Adds another method of information distribution to the companies value.
If you want to creat one on your own you can do it online of offline.
In the last weeks I have heard the following sentence more often: "Everybody who has done a software project knows that integration and development isn’t easy". This statement of does not make sense to me. Seems like a lame excuse which implies that all software projects need to be off schedule and integration is hard when putting software together.Which is not the case I think. There are very successful projects around. And they also face the "integration problem".
So this statement does not need to be true when doing it right (my own opinion and experience though :-)). Especially with all the tools, books and information available. I think this is even right for highly distributed software projects where the partners a scattered around the world. Yes we can do it right 🙂
P.S. I know a lot of links in there, but worth to follow (this is seemless self promotion :-))
Amazon introduced the new Amazon Elastic MapReduce service. It is based on Hadoop and still in beta, but still worth knowing about. Remember that Cloudera also offers supports for Hadoop ?
