I wrote recently about principal, Jim Wipke , and his endeavors to bring Extreme Leadership into the world of education. Well…here’s evidence of his influence on another teacher in a very personal, direct way. The following email is from Paul Godwin (posted here with his permission). I don’t share this to toot my own horn–even though it sorta does, I guess–but more to give you a glimpse into the quality of heart that resides and thrives in the world’s great

"The jury is in. The controversy is over. The debate has ended, and the conclusion is: TDD works. Sorry." -- Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) A quote from the upcoming work "97 Things Every Programmer Should Know": [link] Honestly, I think that this quote by this very well-known and out-spoken consultant in the Computer Software industry says far more about the current state of our industry than just its mere words alone.

Large enterprises face unique challenges in optimizing their Business Intelligence (BI) output due to the sheer scale and complexity of their operations. Unlike smaller organizations, where basic BI features and simple dashboards might suffice, enterprises must manage vast amounts of data from diverse sources. What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?

Business is tough right now, and it’s going to be so for a while. In tough times, you want to be very good at what you do. The more “fighting fit” you are, the more likely you are to survive a challenge. Unfortunately, IT isn’t all that good at what it does. In fact, on the whole, it’s pretty bad. That means that IT isn’t very well prepared for this downturn.

In one of the mail exchanges that I had with Dick Wall before the scouchdb demonstration at JavaOne ScriptBowl, Dick asked me the following. "Can I return an actual car object instead of a string description? It would be killer if I can actually show some real car sale item objects coming back from the database instead of the string description." Yes, Dick, you can, now. scouchdb now offers APIs for returning Scala objects directly from couchdb views.
The Programmer's Paradox
JUNE 11, 2009
Writing software to program computers is a simple process. You start by deciding which new data you want to be supported by the system. All systems revolve around their underlying data. From there, you decide which functionality is necessary. Most of it is fairly trivial, just the usual adding, deleting and modifications. That accounts for at least 80% of most systems.

As we look ahead to 2025, business intelligence and data analytics are set to play pivotal roles in shaping success. Organizations are already starting to face a host of transformative trends as the year comes to a close, including the integration of AI in data analytics, an increased emphasis on real-time data insights, and the growing importance of user experience in BI solutions.

The following note from Ireland came to us via the Greater Than Yourself site. The writer is specifically asking about GTY as a solution for some far-reaching (heart-wrenching) challenges, and it’s a good question. But I’d like to open it up to any and all solutions. So…what advice do you have for our Irish friend? Would GTY be part of the solution?

Update 07.28.2009: Salesforce.com publishes their " Vulnerability Reporting Policy " and becomes the latest large corp to "legalize it." I was privy to early drafts for feedback and I must say, the final product looks pretty good! They even have a safe for testing playground for security researchers. Nice touch! Hopefully more organizations will follow suit.

I tend to be a low-budget traveler, easily choosing quantity over quality for my accommodations. So, not surprisingly -- in some Chinese city, which will remain nameless -- I found myself checking into a rather inexpensive double room, with private bathroom, in a youth hostel. All and all, it was a nice place. The youth hostels in China are badly categorized.
