Life’s certainties include death and taxes but also the advancement of the GNU/Linux® operating system, and the last two kernel releases did not disappoint. The 2.6.28 and 2.6.29 releases contain an amazing amount of new functionality, such as a cutting-edge enterprise storage protocol, two new file systems, WiMAX broadband networking support, and storage integrity checking. Discover why it’s time to upgrade.

IBM has dominated the mainframe computer business since the category was created four decades ago. And it still gets about one-quarter of its $100 billion in annual revenue from sales, software, services and financing related to the machines. Continue reading at NY Times.

If you need learning JEE ( Java Enterprise Edition) formerly J2EE with Wesphere Aplication Server, I really recommend the sources below:
Redbook – Experience Java EE! Using WebSphere Application Server Community Edition 2.1
This redbook is a hands-on guide to developing a comprehensive Java™ EE application
using WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition v2.1 (WASCE).
I recommend it who is interesting in developing JEE aplication.
It’s important to know that WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition v2.1 (WASCE) is basead on Apache Geronimo AS.
Redbook – WebSphere Application Server Community Edition 2.0 User Guide
This redbook takes you through the basics of using WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition V2 to run applications.
I recommend it who is interesting in administration of JEE aplication
Redpaper – WebSphere Application Server V7.0: Technical Overview
This redpaper is discussion centers on the runtime server component of WebSphere Application Server.
I recommend it who is interesting in administring JEE aplication, SysAdmin who is interesting in to know the new WAS v.7.
Redbook – WebSphere Application Server V7: Concepts, Planning and Design
This redbook discusses the concepts, planning, and design of WebSphere® Application
Server V7.0 environments. This book is aimed at IT architects and
consultants who want more information for the planning and designing of
application-serving environments, ranging from small to large, and
complex implementations.
IBM Education Assistant – Introduction to WebSphere Application Server V7
This presentation will provide a high-level of WebSphere Application Server V7.
If you wanna add some sources useful to us, leave a comment, please.

Operating systems for IBM System Z
z/OS is a 64-bit operating system for mainframe computers, created by IBM. It is the successor to OS/390, which in turn followed MVS and combined a number of formerly separate, related products. z/OS offers the attributes of modern operating systems but also retains much of the functionality originating in the 1960s and each subsequent decade that is still found in daily use. (Extreme backward compatibility is one of z/OS’s central design philosophies.)
z/OS supports mainframe staple technologies such as CICS, IMS, DB2, RACF, SNA, WebSphere MQ, record-oriented data access methods, REXX, SMP/E, JCL, TSO/E, and ISPF. However, z/OS also supports 64-bit Java, C/C++, and UNIX (Single UNIX Specification) APIs and applications, with UNIX/Linux-style hierarchical HFS and zFS file systems. z/OS can communicate directly via TCP/IP, including IPv6, and includes a standard HTTP server along with other common services such as FTP, NFS, and CIFS/SMB. Another central design philosophy is support for extremely high qualities of service (QoS), even with a single operating system instance, although z/OS has built-in support for Parallel Sysplex clustering.
z/VM is the current version in IBM’s VM family of virtual machine operating systems. z/VM was first released in October 2000[1] and remains in active use and development as of 2008[update]. It is directly based on technology and concepts dating back to the 1960s, with IBM’s CP/CMS on the IBM System/360-67 (see article History of CP/CMS for historical details). z/VM runs on IBM’s zSeries, System z9 and System z10 computers. It can be used to support large numbers (thousands) of Linux virtual machines.
Linux on System z is the collective term for the Linux operating system compiled to run on IBM mainframes, especially System z machines. Other terms with the same meaning include Linux/390, Linux on zSeries, Linux for zSeries, Linux on System z9, zLinux, z/Linux, etc.

In the last few years, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) has undergone a major transition from GCC version 3 to version 4. With GCC 4 comes a new optimization framework (and new intermediate code representation), new target and language support, and a variety of new attributes and options. Get to know the major new features and their benefits.
GCC is the cornerstone of development in both the open source and closed source worlds. It’s the enabler of architectures and operating systems. When a new processor appears, its success depends on a version of GCC that will support it (a back end that can generate code for it). GCC is also the enabler of Linux®. Linux as an operating system is widely successful because it is run on so many different architectures. Once again, a port of GCC to the target environment enables Linux to be ported and run on it. Without trying to put too fine a point on it, GCC paves the way for Linux and embedded development.
But GCC can’t just sit still. New processor architectures continue to appear, and new research finds better ways to optimize and generate code. So GCC moves forward and has now matured into its fourth major release. This article explores the fundamental changes in GCC version 4 to show you why—if you haven’t switched yet—the time has come to use the compiler standard.

Eu tenho acompanhado o projeto Jazz, essa solução de ALM (Application Lifecycle Management) que a IBM criou. Agora a IBM criou um produto baseado no Jazz chamando de RTC (Rational Team Concert) dentro do brand Rational. Um otima artigo que descreve o RTC, é o artigo do José Papo sobre Rational Team Concert – Detalhes da nova solução de ALM da IBM Rational.

Sem dúvida umas das minhas sérias preferidas sobre podcast é o developerWorks podcasts. Embora não seja só sobre Java como o Java Posse, no developerWorks podcast sempre encontro assuntos interessantes.
Eu já havia comentado sobre o developerWorks podcast, em dois artigos anteriores meu, o Grady Booch no Software Engineering Radio e Desenvolvimento ágil com Scott Ambler.
Ao escutar o ultimo podcast sobre o New teaching resources for BPM, Enterprise Computing, and Rational, onde Kevin Faughnan, Diretor do IBM Academic Initiative, e Dan Griffin, Program Manager for WebSphere and SOA participation dentro do Academic Initiative, falam sobre o novo programa de ensino e como estudantes e professores a usar tecnologias IBM.
Através de um comentário no New teaching resources for BPM, Enterprise Computing, and Rational, eu cheguei a este artigo Computer Science Enrollments: The Real News, um artigo que discute o interesse de estudantes em SCE (computer science & engineering), ciência da computação e engenharia da computação.
Cheguei a este artigo Why Choose CSE?, que possui uma coleções de videos da Universidade Washigton, para mostrar o que alunos de ciência da computação e engenharia da computação vão trabalhar depois da graduação.
Para fechar passei na página SkillPROOF, que procura fazer uma pesquisa sobre skill e jobs em demanda nos EUA.
Realmente esse links valem ouro.
