Learn how to make better decisions with data in this course on data analysis with Ben Deitch. We’ll start by looking at what data analysis is, and then we’ll see how we can use data analysis to create better outcomes.
In this course with Pasan Permaratne we’re going to build an app that is quite popular these days – a selfie app! We’ll learn how to build and apply filters, how to use Core Data for more than just a single entity and how to use the device’s camera to create a fun app!
Simplify your backend with GraphQL, the new query language and runtime that is taking the world by storm. With GraphQL, it’s no longer necessary to resolve a bunch of different REST endpoints to get a complete chunk of data. We can use GraphQL to tell a server which data we want, and exactly what it should look like. Whether you’re a front-end developer looking to simplify your workflow, or a back-end developer looking for a way to compose more robust APIs, this course with Isaac Lee Morris is the perfect place to start.

You’ll create a prototype for a “prosumer” mobile photography app, and by the end, you’ll have a better understanding of how to create interactive prototypes that can be shared with project stakeholders and team members.
Most of your Rails models are going to be connected to other models in some way. An Author has many Articles, and each Article belongs to an Author. A Doctor has many Patients, and a Patient may have many Doctors as well. Rails uses associations to make it easy to track these relationships in your database. Learn about Active Record Associations in Rails in this course with Jay McGavren.
The new core architecture of React 16, codenamed “Fiber,” introduces lots of new, highly anticipated features and improvements to React. Get up to speed with new features in React 16 in this workshop with Guil Hernandez.
Arrays are container objects that can be used to store multiple values. In Java Arrays, we’ll talk all about what they are, how to create them, as well as why and when you should use them. Check out this course taught by Craig Dennis.
IBM has created an AI platform named Watson that gives businesses and developers access to powerful tools for text and speech analysis, computer vision, and more. Watson APIs consist of a suite of services used to process or analyze data to answer questions and make decisions.

Gartner has always differentiated object storage from distributed file systems, and have published separate Critical Capabilities reports for each. The last Critical Capabilities for object storage was published March 31, 2016. In this report, written by Gartner analysts, Arun Chandrasekaran, Raj Bala and Garth Landers, Gartner recommends that readers of the report “Choose object storage products as alternatives to block and file storage when you need huge scalable capacity, reduced management overhead and lower cost of ownership.” The use cases for object storage and block and file systems are quite different.
This report clearly showed Hitachi Vantara’s HCP in a leadership position for object store.
Then in October of 2016, Gartner combined object storage and distributed file systems into one Magic Quadrant (MQ) report with the rationale that they are both scale-out storage systems. However, they still recognized the difference in these two technologies in their report.
“Distributed file system storage uses a single parallel file system to cluster multiple storage nodes together, presenting a single namespace and storage pool to provide high bandwidth for multiple hosts in parallel. Data is distributed over multiple nodes in the cluster to deliver data availability and resilience in a self-healing manner, and to provide high throughput and capacity linearly.”
“Object storage refers to devices and software that house data in structures called "objects," and serve clients via RESTful HTTP APIs, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and OpenStack Swift.”
In order to place in the Leaders Quadrant a vendor will need to have an object storage system AND a distributed file system. Since only our HCP object storage system was evaluated, HCP was relegated to the Challengers quadrant where we were the only vendor. All the other vendors, aside from the three in the Leaders Quadrant are in the Niche Players or Visionaries Quadrants.
On October 17th, Gartner published their second annual "Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed File Systems and Object Storage" report, and we are still the only vendor in the Challengers Quadrant. It is important to note that the Magic Quadrant report is NOT a stand-alone assessment of object store. As the title states, this is a vendor-level analysis based on the COMBINATION of an Object Storage and Distributed File Systems (aka, scale-out NAS) offering.
A new Critical Capabilities for object storage is expected to be published in early 2018. That report will be a more accurate way to evaluate the leadership in object storage systems. We would expect to rank much higher due to the addition of geo-distributed erasure coding and other functionalities in HCP, as well as the addition of Hitachi Content Intelligence to the HCP portfolio.
Brookings recently released an interesting study on Digitalization and the American workforce.
The report:
"... presents a detailed analysis of changes in the digital content of 545 occupations covering 90 percent of the U.S. workforce in all industries since 2001. The analysis categorizes U.S. occupations into jobs that require high, medium or low digital skills and tracks the impacts of rapid change."
The study findings show the U.S. economy is digitializing rapidly.
As the report chart below shows (click to enlarge), the number of high digital jobs has grown from 5% of jobs in 2002 to 23% in 2016. It also shows the number of low digital jobs substantially declined during the same period.
According to Brookings, pretty much all industries have become more digital.
The bad news is workers who don't have digital skills, or can't acquire them, face declining job options.
The good news is those with digital skills tend to be paid pretty well. The mean annual wage for those with a high level of digital skills is an impressive $73,000. Those in low digital skills jobs earn an average of just $30,000.
There's little doubt that the digitalization of the economy is going to continue. This will impact almost all jobs and pretty much all small businesses.
We'll have more on this topic, including how small business owners view automation and automation tools, in the near future.
The interface is evolving. What has long been dominated by screens of all shapes and sizes is now being encroached upon by the voice. And while many companies are building voice interfaces — Apple with Siri, Google with Assistant, and Microsoft with Cortana — none are quite as dominant as Amazon has been with Alexa. At the AWS reinvent conference, Amazon will announce Alexa for… Read More
