In the first Architect Roundtable podcast, Eddie Awad and Jeff Davies talked, among other topics, about ways software architects might take advantage of Web 2.0/Enterprise 2.0 tools.  Just this morning I saw James McGovern's post, 2009 Resolutions for Enterprise Architects. What was the number one item on Mr. McGovern's list? Start building an alumni network. In case you haven't been paying attention, Indian outsourcing firms are now the biggest risk. We caught Satyam lying...

Recent blog posts by David Chappell and Jürgen Kress include links to a number of SOA design patterns authored by members of the greater Oracle community, including a number of ACEs. These patterns are included in SOA guru Thomas Erl's new book, the aptly titled SOA Design Patterns. To save wear and tear on your mouse-clinking appendages, I've included links to those patterns below: Service Grid In Memory Fault Tolerant CollectionIn Memory Fault Tolerant Stateful ServicesLoad...

Sys-Con's AjaxWorld conference, which convened last Fall in Santa Clara, is now memorable for a couple reasons.First of all, it served as the coming-our party for Oracle's Rich Enterprise Applications (REA) initiative, which I have previously described as a recipe for building rich internet apps (RIAs) that have enterprise-class requirements baked-in. A great overview is available in the form of Pieter Humphrey's keynote, which is available from Sys-Con on demand. (Sorry, you...

There is a fascinating meta-thread taking shape at forums.oracle.com, especially for those interested in the care and feeding of an interactive community.It began with me issuing a strong personal warning about "personal attacks" to several Database forum regulars, who do not, to put it mildly, "get along". This warning was reproduced verbatim in a public announcement.This warning became necessary, IMO, because certain people were using forums.oracle.com as vehicle for...

No, it's not a recently discovered Agatha Christie story. Rather, a team of rogue Oracle ACEs have taken on the mission of subjecting a red Oracle ACE vest, fondly known as "Stanley", to serial abuse.(This is a little difficult to view, but note the red object on the ground.)Similar crimes against textiles are documented at www.wtfistheacevest.com.Yeah, we can take a hint already. No more red vests!
