My New Pluralsight Course – Patterns of Cloud Integration – Is Now Live
I’ve been hard at work on a new Pluralsight video course and it’s now live and available for viewing. This course, Patterns of Cloud Integration, takes you through how application and data integration differ when adding cloud endpoints. The course highlights the 4 integration styles/patterns introduced in the excellent Enterprise Integration Patterns book and discusses […]
Links to Recent Articles Written Elsewhere
November 8, 2012
Besides this blog, I still write regularly for InfoQ.com as well in as a pair of blogs for my employer, Tier 3. It’s always a fun exercise for me to figure out what content should go where, but I do my best to spread it around. Anyway, in the past couple weeks, I’ve written a […]
Combining Clouds: Accessing Azure Storage from Node.js Application in Cloud Foundry
August 9, 2012
I recently did a presentation (link here) on the topic of platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for my previous employer and thought that I’d share the application I built for the demonstration. While I’ve played with Node.js a bit before, I thought I’d keep digging in and see why @adron won’t shut up about it. I also figured […]
Measuring Ecosystem Popularity Through Twitter Follower Count, Growth
July 18, 2012
Donnie Berkholz of the analysis firm RedMonk recently posted an article about observing tech trends by monitoring book sales. He saw a resurgence of interest in Java, a slowdown of interest in Microsoft languages (except PowerShell), upward movement in Python, and declining interesting in SQL. While on Twitter the other day, I was looking at […]
IaaS vs. PaaS: Deploying a Web Application
July 6, 2012
My buddy and partner-in-crime, Adron Hall, built a web application that we at Tier 3 plan on using for our internal/external product catalog. He initially deployed the app (ASP.NET + SQL Server DB) to our IaaS fabric, but wanted to compare THAT experience with the steps to deploy to our PaaS (Web Fabric) instead. So, […]
Adding Voice To Event Processing Applications Using Microsoft StreamInsight and Twilio
June 7, 2012
I recently did an in-person demonstration of how to use the cool Twilio service to send voice messages when Microsoft StreamInsight detected a fraud condition. In this blog post, I’ll walk through how I built the StreamInsight adapter, Twilio handler service and plugged it all together. Here is what I built, with each numbered activity […]
New Job, Different Place
May 30, 2012
Time to mix it up. I’ve been in enterprise IT for 5+ years, and while I’ve enjoyed it immensely and been fortunate to work at a great company, there are other things that I want to be able to do. So, I’ve decided to quit my job, and accept an offer with Tier 3. I’ll […]
Is AWS or Windows Azure the Right Choice? It’s Not That Easy.
May 10, 2012
I was thinking about this topic today, and as someone who built the AWS Developer Fundamentals course for Pluralsight, is a Microsoft MVP who plays with Windows Azure a lot, and has an unnatural affinity for PaaS platforms like Cloud Foundry / Iron Foundry and Force.com, I figured that I had some opinions on this […]
Deploying Node.js Applications to Iron Foundry using the Cloude9 IDE
April 13, 2012
This week, I attended the Cloud Foundry “one year anniversary” event where among other things, Cloud9 announced support for deployment to Cloud Foundry from their innovative Cloud9 IDE. The Cloud9 IDE lets you write HTML5, JavaScript and Node.js applications in an entirely web-based environment. Their IDE’s editor support many other programming languages, but they provide […]
Three Software Updates to be Aware Of
April 6, 2012
In the past few days, there have been three sizable product announcements that should be of interest to the cloud/integration community. Specifically, there are noticeable improvements to Microsoft’s CEP engine StreamInsight, Windows Azure’s integration services, and Tier 3’s Iron Foundry PaaS. First off, the Microsoft StreamInsight team recently outlined changes that are coming in their […]
