As well all know, when we get comfortable in one language, a new and improved version or language comes along, and we must learn anew. Levy says "Domino offers an entire infrastructure, including a robust security model, which has been tested repeatedly in large corporate environments. There's a huge amount of power here, and I have to say, in retrospect, it was worth the steep learning curve to get it." Read here to learn how Levy conquered the challenge.

Kevern is a repo man, and repo men are very busy men right now in Silicon Valley. As the fortunes of IT companies continue to sag, many high-tech workers who have recently found themselves out of work are also finding themselves out of a fancy ride they can no longer afford. And they get little sympathy from guys like James Kevern. "High-tech people suck to deal with," Kevern said. "They act like they're above it."
