IT Poll: How Do You Feel About Your Job Skills?
Our posts on trends shaping the IT job market and the best U.S. cities for finding IT jobs were quite popular. While demand for tech workers is strong even in this so-called "jobless recovery," some skills are in more demand than others. There is also the problem of matching your skill set with jobs, considering how many employers demand deep experience in many different technologies.
How are you feeling about your current skill set?
NoSQL? Never Heard of It, Say Most IT Pros
We write regularly here at ReadWriteWeb about various NoSQL solutions - how the scientists at CERN use CouchDB or how the social game Farmville utilizes Membase, for example - tracking how and why non-relational databases are developed and implemented.
As we've chronicled, NoSQL tools have been developed to meet the changing demands to databases, as arguably the traditional relational database is not optimized for the elasticity, the scale, or distributed nature of today's computing. And as such NoSQL tools like Cassandra and MongoDB have become an important part of many Web startups (Facebook, in the case of the former and Foursquare, in the case of the latter, for example.)
Will The Cloud Mean the End of IT As We Know It?
A study published earlier this year by CA and the Ponemon Institute, a privacy and security group surveyed over 900 IT professionals in the U.S. and Europe about their perceptions, predictions, and practices as on-site systems migrate to the cloud.
The results are particularly striking as they reveal some of the obstacles that cloud computing faces from those who are often responsible for helping implement and maintain a company's technology infrastructure.
SEAmail: Applying Semantic Technology to Email
A prototype email system being developed at Stanford University is designed to bring the power of semantic technology to our inbox. Called SEAmail, short for "semantic email addressing," the system will help its users route email to the correct person or persons without needing to know their names or email addresses and without the need for preexisting distribution groups.
Your Web 2.0 App is a Security Threat
In the world of enterprise I.T., everything is a security risk: your insecure password, an unexpected email attachment, a careless web surfer clicking through to a malicious URL, or the unapproved software you installed on your computer. Today's I.T. has plenty of tools to handle most of these threats, ranging from firewalls and spam filters to malware fighting software and application control mechanisms. Now, they will soon have something more: a new Application Control Engine that specifically goes after and shuts down Web 2.0 apps and social network widgets.
