Sixth Sense
oops!
Had it not been for my friend Dilip pointing out to me in a casual telephone call yesterday, I would have missed this Sixth Sense, a great innovation from MIT
Every device getting to be a computer in itself, devices are getting miniaturized, user interface to devices are simplified (should we still use the word user interface? interface represents a means of interacting with the disconnected), web getting to be the essential computing platform seamlessly connecting everything around… Change is in the air in the computing world…..
Hat’s off to Pattie Maes and Pranav Mistry!

About

Software engineer’s blog!
Software engineer referred here is not a person with designation “software engineer” or similar but a practitioner in perpetual quest in balancing academic interest with business priorities.
This is blog of my forays into software engineering!! Indeed, software engineering is not new; it is there for decades now… to be precise, since NATO conference 1968. But does it make sense? does it have practical relevance? in the context of business imperatives? what does practical adoption involve? … and many more questions follow
In my business, my endeavor to deliver business success to my customers leveraging software engineering principles, best practices, tools, technology and so on… and my experiences are what I seek to share here
