I have to agree, you are so right...

Re: each time I learn something new
I've thought about that, Batye.  The problem with publishing a book, for me at least, is getting a return on investment for the effort.  Let's assume that free-lance writing pays a buck a word (low end).  If you write something a hundred-thousand words long, you've invested a hundred grand in the process.  Very few technical books in any form would yield that sort of return, so it ends up meaning you'd be better off doing free-lance writing!

Re: each time I learn something new
thank you, Tom, if I may I think you need to try self-publishing first, or digital format like Amazon kindle book option

:)

Cloud Data: Big AND Persistent!
3|28|12   |   2:11   |   10 comments

We always hear about "Big" data, but a real issue in cloud storage is not just bigness but also persistence. A large data model is less complicated than a big application repository that somehow needs to be accessed. The Hadoop send-program-to-data model may be the answer.
