Two recent posts by ZDNet SOA blogger Joe McKendrick present a kind of good news/bad news scenario for IT architects and those who aspire to that role. In a Sept 29th post, McKendrick discussed a recent report by Forrester’s Marc Cecere that found that the current economic downturn could trigger an increased demand for those with architecture skills and experience. In a Sept 18th post, McKendrick reported on a conversation with IT consultant David Foote, who observed that...

Extreme Reusability refuses to die

You can't keep a good idea down... Time and technical issues may have conspired to prevent Avrom Roy-Faderman from doing his "Extreme Reusability" presentation at the OpenWorld Unconference Methodoloy Symposium, but that material has itself been repurposed and reused, and is now available on Avrom's blog. What's Extreme Reusabilty, you ask? Avrom explains: Development under Extreme Reusability involves developing along three separate but interacting. . .tracks: framework...

Motivated by a conversation he had at OpenWorld, Jeff Davies has embarked on a project on his SOA Thinker blog that offers great promise in improving communication around all things architecture. As Jeff explains: Last week at Oracle Open World I had the opportunity to meet a number of folks interested in Oracle products in general and SOA in particular. One gentleman that I spoke with was very technical, but asked me to explain what I meant by, “point-to-point integration”....

OpenWorld 2008: A Few of My Favorite Things

Now that Oracle OpenWorld is history, I wanted to recount a few of may favorite things/experiences. Sadly, I don't have much time to enjoy the actual content of the show anymore, so I will have to live vicariously through others for that experience. But a few things really jumped out at me:1. The Cloud Computing support announcement.Although plenty of SaaS/Cloud purists have quibbled about this (the announcement did not include utility-based licensing), 95% of humanity will...

In a nice post on the Triora Group blog, Robert McMillen recounts his experience crashing last week's Oracle ACE dinner, and in the process offers a glowing endorsement of the members of the ACE community and the work they do in fulfilling their roles as community leaders:   Next to me were two ACEs who regularly interact on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Forums providing responses to the many questions that are posted. These two ACE’s had never met in person but through...

Lost luggage and irony that can't be ignored

I just had to do a post on the irony of the situation Oracle ACE Ronald van Luttikhuizen found himself in on his return from OpenWorld 2008:   This recap of some interesting OOW2008 sessions is posted a bit later than expected since my baggage -including notes- was stuck on the airport for a few days. Coincidentally my baggage was stranded at the same airport for which I codesigned the new baggage handling system. Maybe software can have a grudge against its creator after...

Jokin' ACEs, or What I did at Oracle OpenWorld 2008

After a few days recuperation the cumulative effects of minor jet lag, three days straight manning the info booth in the OTN Lounge, the massive OTN Night shindig, the ACE dinner, and various other cocktail-fueled encounters with colleagues old and new, I feel sufficiently restored to acknowledge a few of the smart, funny, interesting people I met as part of my OOW08 experience, most of whom are Oracle ACEs or ACE Directors.  That experience began on Sunday night (9/21) with...
