August 14, 2015 / / 0 Comments

What do you get when you take a skilled cloud developer, an open by design cloud architecture, and IBM professional certification? You get the new Cloud Application Developer Certification program!   http://www-03.ibm.com/certify/certs/50001601.shtml

Today, I’m announcing the launch of a very special new program which offers significant benefits to both developers and business. We are creating campaigns customized around the geographic needs and opportunities of developers, starting in India, to accelerate the adoption of the certification program. Stay tuned as we progress delivery and enablement worldwide in October.

Through this new program, all developers will be able to showcase their expertise by designing, developing and deploying secure applications using open technologies, to the IBM Cloud. For systems integrators, the program allows them to convey their differentiation to customers in creating open Cloud solutions. Business, too, will realize the benefits of this program as it will help to quickly identify developers who have proven that they have the skills to deliver scalable, secure and open Cloud solutions. As IBM’s Cloud integration platform, Bluemix competencies will play a central role in the certification content.

So, if you’re interested in

  • Planning and implementing secure, cloud-ready apps
  • Enhancing your cloud apps with managed services
  • Using devOps services and tools to manage apps

…then, come get certified using the Cloud Application Developer Certification program to showcase what you can do!

SXSW voting has started! I love SXSW!

August 11, 2015 / / 1 Comment

Campaign season has begun and no, I’m not talking about the presidential race. I’m talking about South by Southwest (SXSW), the annual festival that is to innovation what gadgets are to CES.

Every March, professionals from the film, music and tech industries make a pilgrimage to Austin, Texas for a melding of the minds, and every year, the world watches in anticipation as new innovations emerge and trends are established.

While SXSW may be months away, voting has already begun to determine who is most qualified to speak at the festival. 30% of the decision process is by public vote, and thousands of submissions are currently under consideration.

Follow these simple steps to cast your votes:

Step 1: Create an account on the SXSW PanelPicker

Step 2: Cast your votes NOW by giving your favorite panels a “thumbs up”

Step 3: Add a thoughtful comment below each panel – this weighs heavily in the vote

TIP: anyone can vote for SXSW panels – so consider sharing these steps with broader groups of friends, family and professional networks. Voting ends September 4.

Lastly, here are my panel submissions – I appreciate your vote!

  • The Game Invasion
  • Magnifying the Moment of Engagement
  • Digital Dynasty: an Empire of Innovation
