Five of the Best Programming Languages and Frameworks for a Small Business
Choosing a programming framework for a small business can be overwhelming-
there are so many. Here are a few of the best choices, to help you get
started.
Ask a room of ten developers which programming framework is the ‘best on
the market,' and you're liable to receive ten different answers. Each
developer will sing the praises of a different language, and each one will
very probably feel that theirs is the only logical choice. The most confusing
thing, though? Each and every one of those developers will be correct.
Wait, what?
I'll be blunt: there is no universal programming framework. The language your
organization should work with - whether it's for web development, mobile
development, or traditional development - depends entirely on your unique
situation. The perfect choice for one busine... (more)
Behind every cloud service or cloud-based solution, there are real people...
A robust ecosystem of solutions providers has emerged around cloud computing.
But who are the CEOs & CTOs behind those providers, who are the internal and
external entrepreneurs driving companies involved in the Cloud, who are the
leading engineers, developers, analysts, researchers, marketing
professionals, authors...who, in short, are the people behind the cloud?
This list will be updated weekly between now and November 4-7, 2013, when
13th Cloud Expo | Cloud Expo Silicon Valley opens its doors in the Santa
Clara Convention Center, in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. Here
are some highly prominent "Cloud People" to kick off with...

The Importance of Monitoring Containers
By Kevin Goldberg
With the rise of Docker, Kubernetes, and other container technologies, the
growth of microservices has skyrocketed among dev teams looking to innovate
on a faster release cycle. This has enabled teams to finally realize their
DevOps goals to ship and iterate quickly in a continuous delivery model. Why
containers are growing in popularity is no surprise — they’re extremely
easy to spin up or down, but come with an unforeseen issue.
However, without the right foresight, DevOps and IT teams may lose a lot of
visibility into these containers resulting in operational blind spots and
even more haystacks to find the presumptive performance issue needle.
If your team is looking towards containers and microservices as an
operational change in how you decide to ship your product, you can’t afford
bugs or software issue... (more)

Accelerating Transformation Projects with Dynamic, Software-Defined Storage
Organizations planning enterprise data center consolidation and modernization
projects are faced with a challenging, costly reality. Requirements to deploy
modern, cloud-native applications simultaneously with traditional
client/server applications are almost impossible to achieve with
hardware-centric enterprise infrastructure. Compute and network
infrastructure are fast moving down a software-defined path, but storage has
been a laggard. Until now.

In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Mark Lewis, Chairman and CEO of Formation

Java vs. Python: Which One Is Best for You?
By Kevlin Henney
Few questions in software development are more divisive or tribal than choice
of programming language. Software developers often identify strongly with
their tools of choice, freely mixing objective facts with subjective
preference.
The last decade, however, has seen an explosion both in the number of
languages used in production and the number of languages an individual
developer is likely to employ day to day. That means that language
affiliations are sometimes spread more loosely and broadly across different
codebases, frameworks, and platforms. Modern projects and modern developers
are increasingly polyglot—able to draw on more languages and libraries than
ever before. Informed choice still has a part to play.
From that bustling bazaar of programming languages, let’s narrow our focus
to two survivor... (more)

Today nearly all of us have our information stored on the cloud. It's a very
easy solution that allows users to seamlessly create back-ups of photos,
contacts and other personal information, giving users access to their
accounts anywhere from any device. Perhaps its most prized feature is that it
has no storage limits, unlike mobile devices and PCs.
There is, however, a downside to cloud services. Although it is useful in
storing data, it could be the reason data is lost. Recently, the celebrity
iCloud hack went to trial. The hacker admitted he acquired the credentials by
spear phishing his victims and once he had them, all the data they stored on
the cloud, whether intentionally or not, was exposed and later posted online.
Many users are not aware of the different risks involved in using the cloud.
It's easy to forget that it syncs automatically, storing data that wa... (more)
Python: Beyond Just Web Apps
By Omed Habib
Python has long been a go-to language for developers creating cutting-edge
web applications. However, Python’s advantages of power, versatility,
flexibility and ease of programming have made it a favorite language in a
multitude of applications, industries, and niches.
Examples of Python being used outside the world of Web apps include:
The development of an ERP/CRM named ERP5, developed by Nexedi for use in
government agencies, the apparel industry, and other warehouse-based
businesses.
A self-contained marine navigation light from Carmanah Technologies. This is
a good example of how Python is helping to power the move away from dedicated
computers to the new era of the Internet of Things.
Substantial portions of the semiconductor facility at the Phillips
manufacturing plant in Fishkill, New York are run on Python.

Sep. 10, 2017 09:00 AM EDT Reads: 1,892 | By Elizabeth White  You know you need the cloud, but you’re hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You’re looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you’re concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.
