Link: Amazon EC2 and Oracle SOA Suite a Strong Combo

This article describes a grid-like solution for SOA using Amazon’s EC2 and an Oracle product. It gets you thinking about the possibilities. Just replace the Oracle product with anything and you have a cool architecture. I am still waiting on an app that would serve as a good test case for using EC2.

Talk Feedback

Yesterday I gave my two talks at CodeMash. One on Enterprise Python Development and the other on Python Web Services. The general feedback I received was good. If you were at either talk I like to hear back from you. If do don’t want to publicly comment, just note that in the comment I won’t publish it. Comments are not shown on this blog until I have a chance to review them.

My plan going forward is to change and update those talks so that I can give them at other gatherings. I am not a professional speaker and I do not routinely give these talks so any constructive criticism or advice in appreciated.

“Enterprise Python Development” Walk Through

Yesterday was the first walk through for my CodeMash presentation on enterprise development with Python. Overall it went rather well. I had a little touble with my slides, but I was able to wing it for the missing and outdated slides.

Before work I exported the Open Office presentation as a Power Point and emailed it to myself. At work an hour before the scheduled time I tried to opened the attachment. Unfortuately the file was corrupt. After some frantic searching I found an older version on my work laptop.

The version I found was very much out of date. The slides were out of order and lacking some details. This forced me to do some of the presentation from memory. I at least proved to myself that I was able to remember the material, even in front of a crowd.
