.NET Architecture and Design Principles: Building Distributed Applications
Because web services are based on open standards, companies can expose systems, either internally or externally, and not have to worry so much about the communication layer. Hosting and Deployment Once a component of a distributed system is built, we must push it out into a production environment or to the customer. Think in terms of layers and tiers Use patterns in your code and across the enterprise Write secure code Use concurrency to build highly available systems Make distributed calls using remoting, web services and Windows Communication Framework Utilize asynchronous communication with message queues Horizontally scale every tier of your system Deploy software across distributed systems Applications that span more than one machine require a deliberate and radically different design approach. .NET

Survival Skills for Developers
customizing a product wiki updating the company web site (happens in small companies) Let’s suspend reality for a moment and pretend you’re heading out into the woods this weekend. Set aside the fact that you are a software developer and have no business tromping around out in the wilderness. You’re going to want to take along a few basics:

Second Mover Advantage
That is, being the first search engine or social networking service did not give those innovators any advantage in the market; in fact, most of those first generation companies are gone (Excite & SixDegrees). There are few successful tech companies that were the original pioneer in that market. The problem with being a first mover is (1) you have to create everything This article (and this one) pokes a hole in the idea that there’s a sustainable first-mover advantage for businesses. This strikes me as obvious, yet VCs insist that being first to market is critically important.

'Wired for Innovation' and the Trouble with business value
In fact, if you have read anything by Brynjolfsson before there is a good chance it was his work on the “productivity paradox.” For example, did you know that in the last couple of decades “IT intensive” companies have grown much much faster than those which are not IT intensive? Firstly the book resolves the “productivity gap”. I stopped reviewing books in this blog a while ago but, having said a few words about Domain Driven Design Using Naked Objects last time I want to say a few words about another book I’ve just finished reading: Wired for Innovation: How Information Technology Is Reshaping the Economy .

  • More patterns for software companies
    Over time I started to think specifically about technical companies and products and now I’ve decided to concentrate on software companies. This is a pragmatic decision, although many of these patterns are more applicable I know about software companies so I can write with knowledge. I have posted another set of business strategy patterns on my website . These patterns were reviewed at EuroPLoP 2007.

  • Product Management conference
    On Tuesday I attended a mini-conference about Product Management. In fact, this conference billed itself as “The UK’s first conference on Product Management” which might actually be true. I’ve written before that I believe Product Management is a much misunderstood role in the UK, and that I think it is an appreciation of this role that makes Silicon Valley companies so much more successful than their UK peers. However, I still came away with a feeling that only a few companies “get it.” Well, this conference might be a sign that things are changing.

  • Knowledge based product development
    I've commented here before that I have recently become a Product Manager - when I say recently it was almost six months ago now. Of course I want to be a good product manager so I've been looking around material to tell me how to be a good product manager, much to my surprise I find that there are very few books written on the subject of product management. Indeed depending on your industry the role of Product Manager differs. Today is my birthday, I always like where possible to take the day of work and do something enjoyable. This time I’m at home

  • Who owns the product?
    I’ve mentioned a few times that I’ve recently moved from software development to product management. As a developer the answer was clear: me – not the product manager. As a product manager the answer is also clear: me – not the software developers. So often I’ve worked at companies Consequently I’m getting a different view of the development process. And of course, I have to deal with developers who never seem to do quite what I had in mind or when I had it in mind!

  • So many bad companies in the world
    It never ceases to amaze me how many bad companies there are in the world. Companies that provide bad customer service, poor products, treat their employees badly, break all the rules in management books and yet continue to survive and trade, and even make profits. Such companies grow to a certain size, usually not very big, a few hundred people at most, and then stagger on for years. Sometime I think starting a company is as easy as falling off a log, it is growing of a company that takes skill. Unfortunately I've worked for a few of these companies

  • Write a book or start a company? - Lessons for Product Managers and notes on VoIP, eBay and Skype
    And my product at work is back to normal, actually that happened about a month ago but I don’t think I mentioned it here. She asked me the very product manager-like question “Why would someone buy this book?” “What problem will it solve?” I was kind of stuck for an answer, I could imagine a neat book but then why would someone actually buy it? The other idea that comes up again and again is that of starting a company. Some kind of normality has returned. The house move is done - although plenty to do on the new place we can live here quite normally.
