3 transformational technology trends that we seem to be missing in 2013
Contrary to what most analysts are predicting, Udayan Banerjee, CTO, NIIT Technologies says that we are unlikely to hear success stories about Big Data in 2013 and that cloud will go down the “trough of disillusionment.” Banerjee details three transformational technology trends to watch out for in 2013
Characteristics of High Maturity SOA Implementation
Benchmarking is a good approach to identify the current state of SOA implementation as compared to an industry recognized maturity model. This also helps to define a target state and then work towards achieving it. Amongst many SOA maturity models the Open Group's OSIMM v2 is quite popular and defines seven levels

Top 20 exciting features of SQL Server 2012 – Part 1
In this article Shivprasad Koirala discusses 20 features of SQL Server 2012 which he personally like (we can agree to disagree on my list) and from these 20 features, 7 are revolution and 13 are evolution. This article is divided in to 4 parts, in every part we will discuss 5 features. So let’s start with the first 5 top features.
Homeland Security warns to disable Java amid zero-day flaw
"We are currently unaware of a practical solution to this problem," said the DHS' Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) in a post on its Web site on Thursday evening.

Firefox adds built-in HTML5-based PDF viewer to improve security
The browser maker described the built-in PDF viewer as more secure and safer than proprietary PDF viewing plug-ins, like those installed by Adobe Reader or Foxit Reader. However, several security experts noted that it probably won't be free of vulnerabilities.
Best practices to navigate the Dodd-Frank/SEC whistleblower program
Whistleblowers, and the broader topic of how companies respond to internal reports of regulatory violations, have always been topics of concern, said R. Todd Cronan, partner at Boston-based law firm Goodwin Procter LLP. Additionally, the SEC whistleblower program has elicited even more upper-management attention.
Async Unit Tests, Part 1: The Wrong Way
If you don't write unit tests - or if you or your manager think writing tests just delays software development - then I refer you to the best computer book ever written, Code Complete. In that book, Steve McConnell presents some very interesting hard facts about testing. I hope we can all agree that unit testing is a fundamental skill in Modern Programming. And this brings me to a sad chapter in async/await support: the "obvious" way to do unit tests is wrong.
