My Lotusphere 2012/IBM Connect 2012 Highlights, The Good, Bad, and Ugly
Tue, Jan 24th 2012 12:11p Richard Moy This year I attended both the Lotusphere sessions and the IBM Connect sessions. I am glad that IBM has devolved a portion of the conference to business cases. We need to remember that as technologist our job depends on the business side of an organization. That is why it is important even in a technology conference that the C and VP levels are on board. However, there was too much focus on how Connections is the savoy of all. Overall, IBM's message was more clear and concise at this Lotusphere [read] Keywords: connections

Must Have Tool Free Tools for Web App Developers
Fri, Dec 16th 2011 3:10p Richard Moy I just ran cross another free tool that Web developers should have besides:
- Firebug
- HttpWatch
I found a tool from Yahoo which is available on all major browsers. YSlow. The nice thing about YSlow is that it helps you optimize your Web page performance. I was looking for is a way to determine the amount of memory that a web page is using and YSlow does just that. Take a look. It is another nice tool from Yahoo.
