codetricity

Pascal, Assembly, C, Java, Python, JavaScript. Somewhere in there was Perl, but that seems to have been largely replaced with bash and Python for those types of tasks. Also somewhere in there was the dead-end Dart language, which I liked. I've been using TypeScript, but it does take effort not to revert back to straight JavaScript.

It's good to see the spread of microservices as it's a better way to develop scalable applications. Nice that there's so much innovation in this space.

There's a nice interview of Jonas Boner, Lightbend CTO and creator of the Akka framework at the link below. If you're interested in reactive microservices, you should check it out.

@danberg, thanks for the information. If you have any updates, please post them here.

It looks like the README.md for Grafeas was updated a few times in the last few days.

https://github.com/Grafeas/Grafeas/commits/master/README.md

This section of the README.md is interesting:

TODO:Document the process for adding a new kind to the spec and generating the model, documents, and client libraries to include that kind. #38

Hopefully, these types of things will be fully explained when we see companies like IBM commercialize Grafeas and offer it as a service.

I'm not using it in my business yet, but I created an IoT project to test the Watson text to speech API for the Renesas IoT Sandbox. See this. http://learn.iotcommunity.io/t/using-speech-in-your-iot-proj...

It's actually easy to use the API and I'm hoping to use more features for the my next project, which is a mobile app to get voice alerts of distributed IoT data from the cloud. Not sure if this answers the question, but I think the API is usable by businesses.

Thanks man. I'm going to try and incorporate some of this for my 12 year old daughter. If there's a simpler explanation of this for kids, that would help. Otherwise, I'll power through and make something myself. BTW, if you have a daughter that you're teaching to program, I wrote some articles here: http://pychildren.blogspot.com/2015/01/tiled-map-creation-fo... I'm working on some new lessons. Peace.

I just saw this TechCrunch article on the topic by Frederic Lardinois https://techcrunch.com/2017/10/12/google-ibm-and-others-laun...

Can you get some additional information? Have you tried to ask IBM? Maybe the author of the blog? Seems like I need to download this from GitHub in order to take a look at it right now?

The Google blog lists a number of companies that are implementing Grafeas.

https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/10/introducing-gra...

The GitHub repository is here. https://github.com/Grafeas/Grafeas

The GitHub README.md has the most concise description of Grafeas, which is a metadata API specification. It further explaisn note and occurrence. I think that reading through the README.md of the Grafeas project first might help to understand the blogs by Google and IBM.

When can I use this as part of the IBM Cloud? Any speculation? Can I use it on the Google Cloud? It seems like Black Duck integrating it with the Google Cloud https://blog.blackducksoftware.com/black-duck-google-grafeas

Or, do I need to install this myself?

Lots of really great cloud infrastructure being released as open source. Good to see these projects with docs and all the stuff that makes them easy to work with.

According to a recent survey of 28 carriers, 75% of them will deploy SDN in 2016. 100% of the carriers indicated that they will deploy SDN in the future. Read my article that highlights some of the current trends in SDN. https://app.console.to/article/5800004da934601092304492/
