In the not-too-distant future, every electronic device and appliance we own will be networked together. Great things will no doubt arise from the pervasive network. Networked power meters and appliances promise to reduce energy consumption, tablets and imaging technology may help revolutionize health care. But what are the challenges? Privacy and security, universal high-speed access, governmental regulation and myriad other issues will need to be addressed. At this general meeting of the New York Technology Council, a panel of experts will discuss the future of ubiquitous network access and its implications for consumers and businesses alike.

Jamming a square peg into a round hole it`s not. The chapter entitled Basics of the Unix Philosophy in The Art of Unix Programming provides more comprehensive explanations. Take that approach and look at development projects with dozens of programmers in whatever language. How is the Unix method relevant? How do Unix principles aid in structuring and coordinating software development, even for, say, Java developers? William Baxter argues that the Unix methods and principles are the most useful set of tools for directing developers, even more so when bad habits need to be relearned for the goal of creating good code. Speaker Biography William Baxter, a senior developer with decades of experience leading programming projects, will discuss the process of managing developers and their projects. * * * Don't forget BSDCan is right around the corner! http://www.bsdcan.org/2011/ _______________________________________________ announce mailing list annou...@lists.nycbug.org http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/announce </blockquote> Distributed poC TINC: Jay Sulzberger <secret...@lxny.org> Corresponding Secretary LXNY LXNY is New York's Free Computing Organization. http://www.lxny.org _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
