Cloud Computing Journal - Jan Aleman on 'Hybrid Cloud: The Green Future'
Cloud Computing Journal has published an article titled "Hybrid Cloud - The Green Future" written by Jan Aleman, Servoy CEO.
Here is a snippet from the article:
"Cloud adoption has been steadily growing over the years, but both in spite of and because of the economy, 2010 promises to be the inflection point of wide-scale cloud adoption. Those companies that were unaware, or semi-aware of the Cloud can no longer ignore the strong value proposition of access to previously inaccessible productivity tools; the ability to collaborate with teams, partners and customers; shifting focus from IT to business, and improving speed-to-market through instantly set up solutions."

From the Servoy Labs: SaaS Frameworks Launch - July 15
Please join Sean Devlin, Servoy Senior Technical Engineer, who will discuss in this informative, one-hour webinar what is new in the world of Servoy Frameworks. Servoy has been developing a second generation suite of frameworks to enhance developer productivity and help to build more robust applications.
At the forefront of Servoy's next generation of frameworks is security and multi-tenancy. Every application requires different levels of security and the ability to control users, groups, passwords, privileges etc. And most ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) will require a multi-tenant application when they adopt a SaaS (Software as a Service) offering. For these reasons, Servoy has been developing a Security Framework that relies on best practices to deliver functionality common to most applications and helps developers to get it right the FIRST time.

Servoy Special Webinar: Team Sharing in Servoy - Sept 9
Team sharing is an important topic for developers that work with other developers. It is critical to have tools that will allow development teams to have the confidence to work in the same projects without the fear of losing code changes -- because someone has overwritten shared code. Another tool that is important to code maintenance is the ability to work on similar or future projects without disrupting the current code.
This webinar, presented by Jason Meunier, Servoy Senior Technical Engineer, will discuss the following topics related to team sharing in Servoy:
- Servoy Team Sharing Repository
- Subversion
- Servoy Team Sharing vs. Subversion
- Installing/Setting up Subversion in Servoy
- Using Servoy Workbench tools to work with your code repositories -- commit, update, sync.
- Code management -- viewing histories, branching, tagging.
- Discussing how using a code repository can help the single developer.
