The problem is two parts. First, we programmers have failed to show
management that we have the skill set to Innovate or Die. Secondly, we
have managers that are happy they are employed and don't know or care what
U2 can do. Maybe this is because they don't know or perhaps we have not
done
Ah but the VP's make their SAP decisions at Pebble Beach where only VP's and
CEO's roam and where inexpensive and effective are synonymous with cheap
and untrustworthy.
Political decisions have nothing to do with reality or budgets since it's
just another notch on the resume before their next
Doug,
I think you make an excellent point about too many in the U2 space that
fail to show what the technology can do and obsolete themselves and the
product in the process. In today's world of smart phones, tablets and the
web, green screen apps just don't cut it.These 'saying goodbye'
As I've said before, U2 is growing, there was double digit sales growth last
year. But it is also changing, end users are increasingly not employing
programmers of any sort. Software development is more and more a function
of software companies with end user companies running what they buy.

Actually, I'd think the Cloud would be a natrual.

I'm with Symeon, if this were Facebook I'd like George Land's comment.
But that brings me to my point: We need to be the ones creating the next
Facebook or whatever that is. Until our applications fully embrace web
technology as a primary infrastructure instead of a bolt-on to green screen
And as to dot-net... why complicate the hell out of a good thing like
the
web? :)
Amen, Brother.

We just unveiled a new web 2.0 site last month that we're all very proud
of around here. It makes extensive use of AJAX, jQuery, a lot of fancy
CSS, and UniVerse on the back end. Maybe we could have done something
like this using a more typical web backend database like mySQL, but I
think it
We have been using web services recently to allow UV to play nice with a couple
of other servers. Using XML as the output format. I have it setup to accept
either XML input or parameters (POST) or parameters for input (GET).
I currently use a perl .cgi as my gateway/interface between APACHE

The only thing that
I see holding us back is the maturity of our connectivity options
It's not often I disagree with you, but here I must..
We don't lack mature interfaces. We have UO.Net; UOJ; web services - now
both XML and JSON; WebDE - not to mention third party alternatives.
Brian, I respect your disagreement, and - to a point - disagree with it.
You are correct we have a plethora of connectivity options, but I disagree
that UO is the best connector bar none. You are coming from Universe, I am
coming from Unidata, and from Unidata, UO has historically been a mess,
We're thinking about moving from HP-UX on PA-RISC to HP-UX on Itanium
(UniVerse). I'm seeing conflicting advice as to whether there's an Endian issue
or not. Will we need to run fnuxi ? (and where's the documentation for fnuxi ?)
or are there better ways of converting files accounts if
John, just spent a couple minutes on the site. Nice job! Isn't jQuery just
amazing?

Thanks, Kevin! Yes, we were repeatedly amazed by jQuery during the
development process. We found a way to handle pretty much every cool
gui function the design dept. threw at us. The other free tool I was
really impressed with was DWR (Direct Web Remoting) for AJAX. You just
