PhillyETE Screencast #31 – Going Big with Big Data – One Step at a Time – Anita Garimella Andrews

From the abstract: “Big Data is almost scary nowadays. Some small, young companies are so advanced in their use of data – but their datasets are small, so statistical validity constantly comes up. Some Fortune 100 companies haven’t even started. And other large companies have such a morass of badly integrated, inaccurate or unused data and analytics, that starting from scratch seems like a good idea. And once you have all that data, it’s unclear how to use it. So…

Ironically, constant change results in a striking consistency over time. The view of our field from outer space, so to speak, remains remarkably stable. Meanwhile we have to decide what newness to master, what to quasi-master, and what not to bother with. Somewhere in that process we’re…

PhillyETE Screencast #28 – Why are there Go programmers? – Blake Mizerany

But rather than being mostly composed of C and C++ programmers, many Go programmers come from Ruby, Python, Javascript, Erlang, and other popular dynamic languages; Much more than the Go authors had anticipated.

PhillyETE Screencast #25 – Applying Design Thinking and Complexity Theory in Agile Organizations – Jean Tabaka

From the abstract: “Design thinking is emerging as a way to guide organizations in how to accept mystery and move through heuristics before moving to an algorithmic view of business. Complexity theory asks us to be intentional about the systems in which we find ourselves and the transitions we must be prepared to make in and around our ordered and unordered systems. By combining these two disciplines, you can begin to balance exploration and execution in how you create and…
