Kill Dash 9

Friday, July 20th, 2007

What do you do when you get a process that won't respond to you? Plus you can't even get it to stop. You know what I'm talking about. You kill it. Kill -9.

This is pretty funny. And educational.

QCon Conference For Enterprise Software Developers

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Here's a conference worth checking out. We'll be there.

"QCon is a conference organized jointly by InfoQ.com and JAOO (organizers of the 10 year running JAOO conference in Denmark). The event will feature 2 tutorial days (November 5, 6th) followed by three full conference days with multiple tracks.

In the tradition of InfoQ.com and JAOO conferences, QCon is designed with the technical depth and enterprise focus of interest to technical team leads, architects, and project managers and will be similar to JAOO in it's commitment to quality content and a high quality attendee experience.

There is no other event in the US with similar opportunities for learning, networking, and tracking innovation occurring in the Java, .NET, Ruby, SOA, Agile, Ajax, and architecture communities."

November 5 - 9, 2007

Ajax Search

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Our super-duper ultimate training management system, Marakana Spark, just got another feature. We designed the type-ahead search box for you to quickly lookup zillions of classes that we offer. Just start typing, and the courses with words starting with that name are automatically looked up.

This feature, inspired by Apple.com new search, is Ajax-based and is pulling the data intelligently from the public XML feed at marakana.com.

Check it out, leave a comments with your thoughts.
