- The Commoditization of Massive Data Analysis - O'Reilly Radar - "There is a debate brewing among data systems cognoscenti as to the best way to do data analysis at this scale. The old guard in the Enterprise IT camp tends to favor relational databases and the SQL language, while the web upstarts have rallied around the MapReduce programming model popularized at Google, and cloned in open source as Apache Hadoop. Hadoop is in wide use at companies like Yahoo! and Facebook, and gets a lot of attention in tech blogs as the next big open source project."
- When Agile Projects Go Bad - CIO.com - Business Technology Leadership - "Your software development projects can benefit from Agile - assuming it's really what's used. Learn about the sins that have been committed in the name of "Agile."" - Excellent article about skill aquisitiion and common misinterpretations of "methodologies" and tools and where they are relevant.
- Why git? » Blog Archive » The Code Train - "Now, I’d been aware of git (and also bazaar) for over a year, but had never taken the time to look at them properly. The reason was that whilst I wasn’t particularly happy with the fact that I had to hold my commits in my head until I got home with svn I had been able to work this way and get things done. I was also not convinced by what I considered “fad” Version Control Systems, and I didn’t relish the prospect of moving from one to another. "
