In the last year or so, after quite a lull, the software architecture business has gotten rather exciting again. We’re finally seeing major new topics emerging into the early mainstream that are potential game-changers, while at the same time a few innovations that have been hovering in the margins of the industry are starting to break out in a big way.

In this presentation recorded during QCon London 2008, Stefan Tilkov introduces the audience to REST seen as an architectural style. He thinks that REST is not an alternative to SOA but it can serve SOA to reach its goals. Stefan also covers other related topics: HTTP, WS-*, SOAP, CORBA, RPC, enterprise, in an attempt to make the listeners understand what REST is and what is not and how it helps.

Linus Torvalds is a regular visitor to Australia in January. He comes out for some sunshine and to attend the annual Linux.conf.au organized by Linux Australia. He took some time out to speak to Rodney Gedda about a host of topics, including point releases, file systems and what it’s like switching to GNOME. He also puts Windows 7 in perspective.

In December, hundreds of these controversial software developers gathered for one week at the Google headquarters in Mountain View, California.
They came from all over the world, sporting many of the usual signs of software mercenaries: jeans, ponytails, unruly facial hair and bloodshot eyes.
All the fuss at the meeting centered on something called Ubuntu and a man named Mark Shuttleworth, the charismatic 35-year-old billionaire from South Africa who functions as the spiritual and financial leader of this coding clan.
Created just over four years ago, Ubuntu (pronounced oo-BOON-too) has emerged as the fastest-growing and most celebrated version of the Linux operating system, which competes with Windows primarily through its low, low price: $0.

I was looking for an e-commerce solutions based on Java.
First all I searched on google and I found the article on TechNewsWorld regarding Is E-Commerce Ready for Open Source?.
After that I read about KonaKart: Free Java-based online shopping cart on InfoQ. Thefore so far, KonaKart looks like the best e-commerce solution using java platform or the only one.
If you know any other open source Java solution for e-commerce, leave a comment here.
I will be testing KonaKart soon and I’ll sharing my experience here.

– System Z on IBM
– System Z on Wikipedia
IBM System z, or earlier IBM eServer zSeries, is a brand name designated by IBM to all its mainframe computers.
In 2000, IBM rebranded the existing System/390 to IBM eServer zSeries with the e depicted in IBM’s red trademarked symbol. But because no specific machine names were changed for System/390, the zSeries in common use refers only to one generation of mainframes, starting with z900.
Since April 2006, with another generation of products, the official designation has changed to IBM System z, which now includes both[1] older IBM eServer zSeries, the IBM System z9 models, and the newer IBM System z10 models.
Both zSeries and System z brands are named for their availability — z stands for zero downtime. The systems are built with spare components capable of hot failovers to ensure continuous operations.[2].
Supports the z/OS, Linux on zSeries, z/VM, z/VSE, z/TPF, and MUSIC/SP operating systems.
Read more about Operating System for IBM System Z.
The older S/390 IBM mainframe servers are considered history since support for the last S/390 compatible version of z/OS (1.5) was dropped on March 31, 2007.[3]

System z9 mainframes:
