Red je da i ja obilježim Blog dan. Iako tamo na stranicama piše da bi bilo dobro preporučiti blogove koji su različiti po interesima, pogledima i stavovima je ću se zadržati na srodnim temama, ponajviše iz razloga što u zadnje vrijeme ne pratim blogove koji nemaju veze sa strukom. Ali vjerujem da će biti dovoljno zanimljivi i poznati.
RedMonk je jedna neobična analitička firma. Oni za sebe kažu: RedMonk is the first analyst firm built on open source. We’re dedicated to providing high quality research at no cost, and believe that the dialog that follows is beneficial to us, our community and our clients. Da nisu mačji kašalj svjedoči i lista klijenata. Sva trojica analitičara pišu blogove, a meni je najzanimljiviji Michael Coté [1].
Ako bih trebao izdvojiti neki blog koji bi bio na nivou mojeg prošlogodišnjeg otkrića domaćem blog čitateljstvu (Alex) onda je to Enterprise Architecture: From Incite comes Insight...[2]. Opet posežem za citatom: James McGovern is an industry thought leader whose focus is on the human aspects of technology around open source, SOA, software security, enterprise architecture and agile software development. Ne zanima vas to o čemu on piše? Obratite onda pažnju na slike/karikature koje postavlja na početku i kraju svakog posta. Neki ga prate samo zbog njih. :-)
Ne sjećam se kako je Russell Beattie [3] završio u mojem RSS readeru, ali zanimljiv je zbog svojeg bavljenja mobilnom tehnologijom koja će sigurno obilježiti nadolazeće razdoblje. WAP je propao, ali Internet na mobilnim uređajima tek očekuje veliki procvat. Kad sam već započeo sa citatima onda ću i nastaviti: This site is my *personal* weblog - I will write whatever I want here about anything I want using any style I want and cover a range of topics from the trivial to professional. You will find the occasional swear word and extreme opinion here - those with delicate sensibilities should probably stay away. Remember, you are not being forced to read this site, so if you dislike anything about it, please feel free to not read it.. Hm, ovo je dobar izvor za vlastitu standardnu napomenu za čitatelje bloga.
How Software is Built [4] nije klasičan blog, ali mu u podnaslovu stoji A blog forum to provide deep dive analysis and community conversations about software development models.. Donosi niz obimnih razgovora s facama iz svijeta razvoja softvera koji upravljaju razvojem velikih projekata ili vode velike timove (PostgreSQL, OpenOffice, Intel’s Software Products Division, High-Performance Computing at Microsoft, MySQL, NASA World Wind).
Andriy Solovey je autor bloga Software Creation Mystery [5] Citat: First insights came from books like Steve McConnel’s Code Complete, NASA software methodologies and RUP - establish sound software engineering methods and standards. It helped, but the essential problems stayed. Agile wave with Extreme Programming opened eyes on more interesting and effective approaches - adaptive and people-oriented. It moved emphasis from technical and process superiority to human and evolutionary wisdom in software development. Study of user experience and psychology gave some understanding what system people would use and enjoy. However, most problems are still there - we are too far from perfection in creating good, reliable and useful systems. And this is endless source of topics for this blog. Budući da nam je ishodište slično ne čudi me da s njim dijelim isto razmišljanje o nekim stvarima. Moja preporuka za uvodno čitanje je njegov prvi post: What is Software Development?.
