Entrevisa com Cezar Taurion

O blog do Academic Initiative IBM entrevistou o Cezar Taurin.
Veja a entrevista completa aqui.

Resumi e comentei as partes da entrevista que mais gostei.

> “Boi lerdo só bebe agua suja”…Veja o lado profissional. Se voce se mantiver na multidão e não se destacar, vai beber muita agua suja. Seja inovador, busque criar coisas novas.

Adorei essa máxima de parachoque de caminhão.

> blog: Na sua opinião, o que falta nos alunos IT?
> Cezar: Empreendedorismo…

Não só em alunos, com em profissionais também.

> blog: Sobre linguagens de programação, qual (is) tendência(s) para os próximos anos?
> Cezar: Como falei, escrevi programas em Cobol e Assembler. Recentemente me aventurei em Java, PHP e Python…brincadeiras e nada sério. Mas acredito que ao lado da Java, veremos as linguagens dinâmicas, voltadas à web, se disseminarem mais e mais. Estas linguages são PHP, Python, Perl e Ruby.
> blog: E o Java, ainda continua sendo um bom investimento para quem deseja aprender a tecnologia e entrar no mercado de trabalho?
>Cezar: Sim e vai continuar ppelas proximas geracoes. Como o Cobol…seu netinho vai programar em Java…

Concordo com o Cesar, Java vai continuar no mercado por muito tempo. Sobre as outras linguagens dinâmicas que estão surgindo eu aposto em PHP, Ruby, Python (nessa ordem de importância).

Automatic migration of Cobol to maintainable Java

I was searching about Java and mainframe and I found out NACA.

NACA was about replacing an IBM mainframe under MVS/OS390 (zOS) with Intel servers on Linux. The project started in January 2003 and successfully ended on june 30, 2007. It was on purpose implemented in a 100% iso-functional way, i.e. without any functional / applicational improvement brought during the process of trans-coding itself and by the transcoding engine. 4 millions lines of COBOL were 100% automatically trans-coded toward their Java equivalent.

The savings in cash-outs amounted to a total of 3 millions euros, 85% of the initial yearly level.

Publicitas now release its homegrown tools for this transcoding in open source

For more information on the NACA project (objectives, achievements, etc…) , check this page on their blog.

For more information about the tools that have been open sourced, check this page.

Oracle ACE Director Lucas Jellema has posted a succinct summary of this appearance as well.

I already posted some links about Oracle acquisition of Sun:

What will Oracle’s Planned Acquisition of Sun Mean for Java

Whilst Sun Microsystems and Oracle are hailing Oracle’s purchase of Sun as a huge boost for Java many in the community are not so sure, wondering what kind of control Oracle will seek to exert over the platform. Continue reading it here.
