With iOS7 Apple has introduced a real multitasking. So a iOS7 App now can works into the background mode using:

- Background fetch - Silent notifications - Background transfer service.

Today i will explain how to use the Background fetch:

Yet another multitasking post.

An iOS7 App now can works in background mode using:

- Background fetch - Silent notifications - Background transfer service.

Today i will explain how to use the Silent notifications:

iOS7 can helps us to update an App, using a remote and silent notification.

I couldn’t start the new year without a final round of predictions. Not mines though.

Open source business model is acknowledged by Wall Street

Big Data and Cloud really means private cloud

2014 starts the era of analytic applications

Search-based business intelligence tools will become the norm with Big Data

Real-time in-memory analytics, complex event processing, and ETL combine

Prescriptive analytics become more mainstream

MDM will provide the dimensions for big data facts

Michael Nygard in an article that looks at the 2, completely unrelated, definitions of consistency; the one in ACID and the one from CAP:

So it turns out that “consistency (predicate)” and “consistency (history)” are two distinct ideas that happen to share a word. It is always an error to substitute the distributed systems definition of “consistency” for the C in ACID.

This is how it goes:

someone declares a solution being fast. It’s usually a micro benchmark presented with almost no context.

If you are running out of interesting projects to experiment with during this seasonal break, Parkour is a Clojure library for writing MapReduce jobs.

From Marshall Bockrath-Vandegrift’s guest post on Cloudera’s blog:

Alex Woodie about Cloudera’s strategy for Hadoop:

Cloudera has gone further than other Hadoop vendors in articulating a business-oriented strategy for converting Hadoop R&D into a profitable business model. The company unveiled its “enterprise data hub” strategy at the Strata + Hadoop World conference in October, in which it envisions Hadoop at the center of a new data-focused architecture. Every type of data, whether it’s analytical or transactional in nature, goes through Hadoop on its way to somewhere else. (Hortonworks, MapR Technologies, and Pivotal, for what it’s worth, have similar strategies in play, but Cloudera has jumped out front in articulating the marketing message in the cleanest manner.)

In the early days a coherent strategy is not a critical point as technology alone can win adopters quite easily through its direct value. Later, when penetrating the enterprise world, a big picture strategy is at least a way to keep the conversation going even if in the end the deployed solutions are highly customized.
