Most of the time, we think about cloud computing in terms of IT operations, here is a short demo I did for Skytap that illustrates how the cloud can be used for developers.

In my earlier post about the NASCAR joke, I mentioned that a ‘colleague’ passed this joke on to me ...

Hey guys,

We just started a fun new project that I wanted to tell you about. Windows Presentation Foundation is a framework from Microsoft for building really rich, dynamic applications. It has been out for a few years and it really powerful, but it is kind of intimidating. There are many, many new concepts, so it can be hard for developers who are used to Windows Forms to just pick it up. What we’re doing is an open-source project to create a tool that converts between these technologies.

Hey guys,

As you may know, I tend to use a lot of Amazon Web Service technology when building demonstrations. It really helps to be able to spawn computers quickly, have a lot of storage and/or send Internet-addressable messages.

The Wounded Warrior Project is an organization that helps empower and honor wounded soldiers returning home from their duty. At WonderAffect, we are trying to help out by offering free, volunteer-driven computer programming classes.

Over the years, I’ve tried to refine the process by which I work with my clients to build their demonstrations.

Kigen Motors” is the name of a fictional company that WonderAffect created as part of a demonstration for Amazon Web Services; the definitive cloud computing solution on the market today.

I came across this blog post today, and it made me think of perhaps what might be the most accurate metric of software development:  WYSOT (what your significant other thinks).
