Welcome

Welcome to our blog about all kind of topics that are related to software development. We blog about:

SOA, BPM, EDA, ECM and all the other buzz words. Beware some post might not be so common as you think. We are not scared to go against main stream thoughts.

Technologies like java, maven, springframework, OSGi and front end technologies and frameworks like jQuery, DWR, Flex.

Finally to make this happen we need tools and of course a Mac (well some of us do). So we blog about that as well.

A small apology

Over the course of a number of different posts on Gridshore, I have mentioned a number of different ideas (mine as well as others’) that I was planning to introduce into my project and of which I promised to report the results. However, I fear that it has become impossible for me to do so, [...]

The REAL Cost of Offshoring

This blog I wrote to share some of my insights on Distributed Software Development (Offshore, Nearshore, Rightshore, GRIDSHORE, whatevershore).

I will not go into cultural differences, intellectual differences, communication issues (human and technical), time and distance issues, etc.

The Optimist, the Pessimist and the Realist

Given the media-hype on the CRISIS I want you to take a minute to think and react on

the statement below.

“The optimist sees opportunity in every danger;

the pessimist sees danger in every Opportunity“

And the realist?

Thank you Adobe

This is a short post, still I want to give it a little bit of attention. A while a go I have written an article about flex and security for Adobe. It is published on the developer network. If you want to read it, you can find it here : Integrating Flex, BlazeDS, and [...]

“Consultancy” != “Cover your ass”

As you might have deduced from some of my previous blog entries, I work as a software engineer for a large consulting firm. That firm works on a project basis, in which personnel works at the client site rather than from a central office. As a result I have quite a bit of contact with [...]
