Software consultant Nari Kannan describes how agile practices and work can be scaled appropriately for success in large organizations. Using lean thinking, reduction of waste, and appropriately organizing work and people, agile can be successfully adapted, regardless of the size of the organization.
Undiscovered software glitches in complex systems are common, and one of the primary drivers is the loss of mainframe knowledge of a retiring workforce. Software glitches are lurking in many large systems, particularly mainframe systems, and the COBOL programmers that understand the code best are retiring, according to Jeff Papows, author of the new book, "Glitch - The hidden impact of faulty software." Papows describes how faulty software caused a huge charge to debit card holder's account and why such mistakes are on the rise in this interview. Papows notes the three most pressing drivers for software glitches: loss of intellectual knowledge, market consolidation and the ubiquity of technology

Implementing strong enterprise architecture and SOA helps support both business and software technology growth.
As both service-oriented and cloud-based architecture take the fore, IT shops increasingly value top-notch integration design. Stories show application integration is changing today.
Service-oriented architecture is a way of including roles (customers, suppliers, engineers, etc.) and viewing everything as a service. Generally, we recognize services that are provided by people, machines and both. SOA is the most important development in the last ten years and is 1) Business-oriented - "describe what not how" and 2) Message-oriented - "just ask and the service is given."
Here at TheServerSide.com, we've been providing some very dedicated coverage to the new features of Java 7, with a look at tackling some of the new Java 7 APIs like the new File I/O (NIO.2) and concurrency libraries with tutorials and learning guides in the near future.
This video tutorial demonstrates some new Java 7 features, namely the ability to use binary notation when assigning literal values, along with the ability to use underscores in numbers.
This tutorial follows up on the previous two tutorials on installing Java 7 and configuring the JAVA_HOME environment variable. With those two tasks completed and confirmed, we now demonstrate how to install the Eclipse development tool.
