One of the coolest parts of the new SproutCore View layer is its ability to
use aspect-based programming to add behaviors to views.
Aspect-based programming is built on the premise that often objects that
don’t follow from the same class hierarchy may in fact need similar
behaviors.
This is especially true in GUI programming when designers come to you and say
something like “I came up with this new widget - it looks kind of like a
progress bar but it acts like a button when you click on it”.
In SproutCore, you capture these common behaviors in a “mixin”. A mixin
is just a collection or properties and methods that are added to your class
when you define it. The view layer will actually look for specific hooks on
your mixin so that you can automatically hook into the drawing engine, listen
for events, etc. It’s very powerful.
Take the example above: with the button... (more)

Many new programmers struggle when it comes to selecting their first language
to learn. Which is easiest, the most professionally useful, the most
newbie-friendly? Lets find out by showing you a range of options, their
strengths and weaknesses, and some information about the most common
programming languages in demand today. At the end, we’ll make some
recommendations and you’ll understand a bit more about why they were
chosen.
The Task At Hand
Every job requires the right kind of tool, and each programming language can
be thought of as a separate tool. Just like some tools are good for
hammering nails, driving screws, and leveling screws, some programming
languages are innately more suitable than others for tasks like designing a
website, interpreting text, or reacting to user input.
Lets go through a few common use cases:

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

Defending Network Performance with Packet Level Detail
My favorite war room accusation is: "It's always the network at fault!"
Whether you're the one taking the blame or the one pointing the finger likely
has everything to do with which seat you occupy in that war room. I suppose
that comes with the territory, because at the same time there seems to be a
consensus that the network is vital to understanding that holistic "Big
Picture" on how application delivery is experienced by your end users. I
suppose we'll have to live with those accusations, but we don't have to take
the blame. Here's how you can defend yourself.
The view from the network provides both context and accuracy relative to
performance and availability problems in your environment. Collecting a
combination of network-based performance information and data obtained from
points in the application deliv... (more)

Last month, JavaBlackBelt completed a survey where developers said their
teams would be 25% more productive if their management committed to skills
management... which led me to consider:
Which Java technologies do developers think that managers should understand
better in order to make great decisions about skills management?
I'll suggest, as a start:
-- Java SE and EE basics
-- ORM's (Hibernate, ...)
-- Web Frameworks (lStruts 2, ...)
-- IDEs (Eclipse, ...)
-- Source Code Mgmt
-- Testing Methods
-- JavaScript
-- Ajax

Full-Day Cloud Computing Bootcamp will take place during SYS-CON's Cloud
Computing Conference & Expo Europe, May 18-19, in Prague.
Cloud computing is an opportunity for businesses to implement low-cost,
low-power and high-efficiency systems to deliver scalable infrastructure. But
moving to a cloud infrastructure is not necessarily as nice and clean as the
providers would want you to think. With cloud infrastructures problems don't
magically go away; they just shift: you don't have scalability or storage
problems any more, but you need to constantly monitor the cloud and your
application in it.
Led by Alan Williamson, the Cloud Computing Bootcamp will illustrate all the
major players and provide a hands-on program with configuration samples, live
demos and working setups you can further adapt and play with.

The Federal Communications Commission announced that it will vote on December 14 to enact the exceptionally misleadingly titled “Restoring Internet Freedom” order. If passed, it will do the opposite of restoring anything resembling freedom — it will repeal the current net neutrality rules which were enacted to ensure that Americans would have equal access to the Internet.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already interested in the topic. Still, some quick background:
Renamed “Open Internet” a while back, net neutrality provided a regulatory framework that specifically prohibited:...
Digital technologies have altered how people and businesses interact. The potential for dislocation from ongoing digital transformation has created unprecedented levels of C-suite discussion. The decisive market leaders have heeded the warnings and taken bold actions.
That said, if you’re one of those Chief Technology Officers (CTO) that previously responded to this scenario by making small incremental adjustments to your IT agenda, then you’re potentially at risk. Any relief from those prior tweaks tend to be short lived. The same issues will likely resurface.
This month, an AI (artificial intelligence) system passed a medical exam in China for the first time. I wonder how its bedside manner will be? In addition, Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to a robot named Sophia. With all these rapid advancements, I think it is time we explore the spiritual life of robots.
Up till recently, programmers coded and configured algorithms, AI, automation and machine learning system and took personal responsibility for all the code. Today, however, AI has escaped the confines of human oversight and has been empowered and employed to self-program, self-optimize, ...
I love it when I get feedback from a blog that I’ve written. I appreciate the different perspectives and insights that others bring to a topic of interest. And no blog that I’ve written has drawn more comments than my blog, “Isaac Asimov: The 4th Law of Robotics.”
The section of the blog that fueled the most comments stem from a scene in the movie I, Robot where Detective Spooner (played by Will Smith) is explaining to Doctor Calvin (who is responsible for giving robots human-like behaviors) why he distrusts and hates robots. He is describing an incident where his police car crashed into anot...
The human work of solving problems, facing challenges and overcoming obstacles tends to share a common goal: creating stable, secure and predictable environments. The tendency for most humans is that once we solve a challenge, we want to be done with it. That propensity, however, does not fit with today’s reality of perpetual change.

Digital Transformation is amplifying mainframe as mission critical to business growth more than ever before. With 70% of the world's corporate data and over half of the world's enterprise applications running on mainframe computers, they are at the core of just about every transaction. A single transaction can, in fact, drive up to 100 system interactions. The continued increase in mainframe transaction volumes, growing on average 7-8% a year for 78% of customers, has even led to a new buzzword: The Connected Mainframe.

What's disruptive innovation, and why does it matter to leaders in the C-suite? It's how the savvy non-conformist will target market opportunities. How does this happen, when established companies seem to have the advantage? Creative software developers can quickly apply new technologies and digital business models to capture untapped demand.
For what feels like a lifetime, industry analysts and experts have predicted ‘this' will be the year the Internet of Things (IoT) finally takes off, both within industry and for consumers. But, as if by clockwork, each year of ‘guaranteed' IoT explosion has passed - the mass adoption and exploitation of the Internet of Things having failed to materialize.
The IoT vision is almost utopian in its promise: a connected intelligent home or office, offering a simpler more convenient future. Our houses will be populated by smart ‘things'; thermostats that know precisely how warm we like our rooms,...

In an attempt to put the patient first in healthcare, Congress and President Obama in 2015 approved a bipartisan bill for United States healthcare reform. The bill is known as “Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015,” or MACRA. Among the major provisions of MACRA is the Quality Payment Program. Under the Quality Payment Program, physicians and nurses receive positive, neutral or negative Medicare payment adjustments based upon a “Patient Satisfaction Score,” that is, patient satisfaction scores have a direct impact on how physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and hospital’s g...
It took Magellan's crew three years sailing ships to circumnavigate the earth. Today, at hypersonic speeds of 7,680 MPH, it takes just over three hours to circumnavigate the earth. Data on the Internet, however, travels at 670 million MPH, which means it only takes milliseconds to circumnavigate the earth. In this age of digital businesses and digital interactions, companies must digitally transform to work effectively in a world where mass information moves at these unimaginable speeds.
