Smart phone killed the desktop star?
Rufus Ketting made in 2006 a nice parody on the 1979 Buggles pop hit “video killed the radio star”, named “iPod killed the video star”. With 2008 in the horizon, I make a parody “smart phone killed the desktop star”. Perhaps it’s too early to use the past tense “killed”, so perhaps we should rather use “will kill”. Whatever tense we use, should we start throwing away our desktop computers and start buying Apple iPhones …

Testing 2.0
Why the Test discipline should take a leaf out of the modern professional sporting book: finding ways to fundamentally improve
SOA Tunnel Vision
Having delivered quite a few trainings on SOA and having observed several SOA-ish projects I notice that SOA solutions can be made very complex in a very short timeframe. Being a big fan of minimal approaches, it really surprises me that instead for looking for simpler solutions, people tend to make a solution more complex. The main cause for this is what I would call the golden hammer syndrome. I.e. people use the technology/trick that …
