U2 in NZ Top 100 ICT Users

I have returned to New Zealand after being away for 18 months. So, I have been on the lookout for information regarding the current status of IT within NZ, in-particular multi-value products.

A new podcast has arrived in my itunes from IBM. Following the general theme, it’s getting the most out of wInetgrate 6.1.

New U2 Forums here

I have added a new page which has an embedded list of the current U2 forums at Nabble.

This content is NOT hosted here nor owned by me, but is a copy from Nabble.

Have a look here or at Nabble or at the U2 User Group mail lists.

New International Spectrum Mag out (March/April 2008)

The latest magazine and PDF from the website is now available.

Significantly more than IBM’s renamed Magazine… Go Intl-Spectrum!

Getting Real: The Book by 37signals

I am currently reading the latest copy of the wired magazine.

An interesting article about the company 37signals, their methods of development and Ruby on Rails.

The book is free to read online!

Eclipse IDE Pocket Guide

Just got delivered today from Amazon the ‘Eclipse IDE Pocket Guide‘ from O’Reilly.

It covers the basics, from installation to creating and running a project, to additional tool sets, plugins and other programming languages besides java.

Very good to get yourself started.

PHP in UniVerse

After reading the articles in the December 2007 php Architect magazine, I thought that I should be able to get access to php from at least ECL.

At the IBM U2 University, they covered something similar for python. It’s not available yet, but why wait?
