IEEE Panama celebrates Dia del Programador
15 Sep 2008 5:26pm GMT Last Friday I got invited to speak at an event organized by IEEE Panama at the Universidad Tecnologica en Panama City, Panama. It was a pleasant experience to talk with students about passionate software development. The topic of my talk was Agile Development.

Got invited to speak at IEEE Panama
9 Sep 2008 11:45pm GMT IEEE Panama and Universidad Tecnologica de Panama asked me to speak at an event this Friday called IEEE Dia del Programador.

Client-Server Computing: The Future Web?
24 May 2008 11:24am GMT For some time I've been waiting for a headline like this one on InfoQ. If you are old enough, then you've probably worked with classic client-server applications and don't believe that the web browser with tons of JavaScript is the ultimate solution to all computing problems. Those modern browser are nice and can do a lot of things. But there is nothing that comes close to a real desktop application, which is not restricted to the browser's sandbox, by default has a rich user interface and can...
