The next web linked to a really interesting presentation by Amazon’s CTO
today: Amazon’s CTO: “Amazon is a technology company. We just happen to do retail”.
Lots of interesting information here:
- Scrum & Agile - small teams, fast innovation, all teams are customer
focussed. How to scale.
- Architecture - what’s important when architecting large scale
applications. Ideas behind doing SOA
- Cloud - impact of cloud on enterprise software development
- Business - lots of companies are transforming into IT companies,
even if they don’t see this yet. This causes problems because they
should put the best possible people on their most important assets:
software
- Operations - No separate operations department. You build it, you
run it.
