Good information via Pat Helland’s weblog, on UC Berkeley’s Paper “Above the Clouds: a Berkeley View of Cloud Computing”.

This year the usual TechDays event focused exclusivelly on Dev contents, and reduced to two days. I was help at IST’s campus on Tagus, a smaller but also cosier space. I did three sessions, all of them on the ARChitecture track: ARC206 Patterns & Anti-Patterns. I did this session together with Tiago Pascoal, and we mostly talked about ...

Seeing WF and WCF for the first time, as well as the DSL Tools and lots of other stuff, plus the several contacts I did while there, helped understand what was to come in technology, and this help |create|it| prepare for this future. I am also attending this year's PDC2008, where a lot is ...

I've been trying out Live Mesh in the last few days, and I am amazed at how well it works, and at the possibilities it opens in terms of the paradigm we use to interact with our resources. It's admittedly not a completely new idea, but it's new in the way it is realized. Before I start: in the last few months I'd been using Mozy to do online ...

Bungee Labs - Next Generation Web Development Platform an ambitious new on-demand, web-based development environment that enables developers to build ...
