Testing with Cucumber
Recently we talked a lot about Cucumber in our Testing Tuesday screencasts.
Cucumber lets you write features in natural language and test them
automatically.
There are already many books that get you started with Cucumber, but most of
them only teach you the basics or focus on one technology. Cucumber has
evolved to a powerful tool though, and today there’s almost no kind of
software application that Cucumber can’t test.
The book Cucumber Recipes by Ian Dees, Matt Wynne and Aslak Hellesøy unveils
what’s possible with Cucumber today. The 240 pages contain 43 recipes
covering several aspects of software development like Testing, Documentation
and Continuous Integration. If you are interested i... (more)

The Software Freedom Conservancy has a plan to help all non-profit
organizations (NPOs) by creating an Open Source and Free Software accounting
system usable by non-technical bookkeepers, accountants, and non-profit
managers. You can help them do it by donating now.
To keep their books and produce annual government filings, most NPOs rely on
proprietary software, paying expensive licensing fees. This is fundamentally
at cross purposes with their underlying missions of charity, equality,
democracy, and sharing.
You can help Conservancy fix this problem by donating now. They seek t... (more)
Initialement, je n’avais pas prévu d’écrire une troisième partie, mais
les nombreux commentaires et échanges que j’ai eu à la suite du premier
et deuxième billets m’ont amené à me poser deux questions :
- Quels seront les métiers porteurs en informatique en 2021+ ?
- Qui seront les principaux employeurs d’informaticiens, en 2021+ ?
Ce sont des questions complexes, et il est plus difficile d’y répondre que
ce que j’avais tenté dans les deux premiers billets, définir les grandes
tendances.
Il y a aussi beaucoup de métiers informatiques que je ne connais pas bien :

Last month I was fortunate enough to give a couple of talks at OSCON. I was
particularly pleased with the reception my keynote received on Creating
Communities of Inclusion, which touched on some topics beyond the typical
licensing and community around open source software. I was was also asked
to expand on these topics at OpenSource.com. Here are the abstracts and links
to the presentations and article.

Free and open source software is equal parts technology and humanity. Beyond
the coding standards, development environments and ... (more)

Best Recent Articles on Cloud Computing & Big Data Topics  By Jeremy Geelan The Arlington, Virginia-based National Science Foundation has just released its "Report on Support for Cloud Computing" - in response to the America Competes Reauthorization Act of 2010, Section 524.
It is an absolute must-read for all concerned with current and future research projects in Cloud Computing. Reads: 10,768  By Jeremy Geelan "The volume of data we're generating now from machines pales in comparison to the volume of data we'll soon generate from our own bodies," says data security expert Dave Asprey. Writing in a Trend Micro blog, Asprey - who is one of the leaders in the emerging Quantified Self movement - explains his vision of a world in which personal biometrical data is shared via the cloud. Reads: 17,819  By Wolfram Jost Cloud computing has caught the attention of business leaders around the world in every
industry because of its enormous transformative potential. Visionary companies know that
the value of the cloud is far greater than the current focus solely on technology and operating
costs: when combined with a collaborative approach to designing processes, cloud computing
will change how we do business.
Reads: 24,529  By Elizabeth White Want to make sense of the hottest new concept in Enterprise IT?
Want to understand in just hours what experts have spent many hundreds of days deciphering?
Cloud computing is a technology that has rapidly evolving peppered with a lot of hype along the way. Customers find it hard to navigate through this and make sense of what aspects of this technology will give them real business benefit.
Cloud Computing Bootcamp, led by our 2013 Bootcamp Instructor Larry Carvalho, is a great way to get a practical understanding of this technology. We offer multiple days of actionable insight into what vendor offerings are currently available and help you comprehend their strategy.
The ever-popular Bootcamp, which is now held regularly around the world, is being held in conjunction with the 12th Cloud Expo, June 10-13, 2013, at the Javits Center, New York, NY. Reads: 12,239  By Larry Bettino Did you know that ninety percent of the data in the world has been created in the last two years? Every day, we create 2.5 quintillion (or 2.518) bytes of data, according to IBM.
As corporations across all industries globally are struggling with how to retain, aggregate and analyze this mounting volume of what the industry refers to as Big Data, it also provides a unique opportunity for innovative startups that recognize the business prospects Big Data presents. Big Data is not just unlocking new information but new sources of economic and business value.
Interactivity is driving Big Data, with people and machines both consuming and creating it. Digital companies focused on becoming good at aggregating and analyzing the data created by the end users of their product, who then provide their customers with solid insights taken from that data are at a distinct competitive advantage over others in the marketplace. Reads: 10,673  By Elizabeth White Industry-specific clouds are those PaaS, IaaS, and PaaS services that are tailored for a specific vertical, such as transportation, retail, finance, and health care. IDC sees a $65 billion market in these industry solutions for 2013, rising to $100 billion in 2016.
The value of industry-specific clouds is that businesses within a vertical can connect to applications, processes, and databases that are pre-defined for that vertical within a public or private cloud. They can extend processes and databases into the business domain, versus defining the data and processes within a generic cloud-based platform.
So, are industry specific clouds right for your business? What options are out there? How do you figure out the ROI?

Reads: 51,618  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon.

Reads: 4,637  By Liz McMillan One of the most compelling promises of the cloud is that you can pull out a credit card and be working in minutes. No purchase orders to fill out, no equipment to wait for on the loading dock. Just instant access to the resources you need, when you need them. But accessibility comes at a price, and an unintentional consequence may be that you create yet another orphaned identity silo. Enterprise IT has spent years consolidating its mishmash of directories, only to discover that cloud now threatens to turn back their hard-won victories.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Scott Morrison, CTO and Chief Architect at Layer 7 Technologies, will look at strategies to incorporate identity into cloud applications. Enterprise identity or social login can both be a part of your go-to-cloud strategy, but you must plan for this upfront, rather than try to retrofit identity and access control at a later date.
