the best tech byte for your business

An interesting look at that most-overused word "culture" and how to scale without losing it. Particularly the concept of Action + Communication = Values resonates. blog.idonethis.com/scaling-busine… #whatisculture #howtoscale


This is quite an honest (and very important) read from Taryn Pratt on upgrading Stack Overflow to SQL Server 2017. It's refreshing to read of the inner workings in a quality company/tool/resource like SO. tarynpivots.com/post/how-we-up… #stackoverflow #sql2017


This is a pretty crazy list of SQL Injection stories. An 11 year old hacker getting into an election reporting system! Entities like GoDaddy, Wordpress, Moodle and McAfee have all had issues (patched now). Welcome to the Hall of Shame! codecurmudgeon.com/wp/sql-injecti… #sqlinjection


If you're looking at VPNs for your phone/device, be careful! There's an abundance of shady software already out there, and the VPN segment has its fair share. Simon Migliano investigates the top free VPN apps on the app stores. top10vpn.com/free-vpn-app-i… #freevpn #shadysoftware


For anyone interested in change management / digital transformation, this is an IMPORTANT presentation from Steve Hodgkinson. Platform + Agile is his big descriptor. A very good read! linkedin.com/pulse/presenta… #agile #platforms #changemanagement #digitaltransformation


The "C" programming language is alive and well today! A very readable article on the history and usage of C, and the reasons why it is still viable (the big one being IoT - The Internet of Things). hub.packtpub.com/why-does-the-c… #clanguage #programming #iot


A mostly positive outcome of thought from Ben (Stratechery) on SAP's acquisition of Qualtrics. Of particularly note is the historical movement of how computing and information work together: ERP->CRM->"Experience Economy". stratechery.com/2018/the-exper… #erp #crm #experienceeconomy


An extremely interesting article on data privacy looking back to the rise of the telegraph! Thanks @AdamLGRing !

An interesting wrangle in Australia - having enacted a #dataprivacy bill for a trade deal with the #EU (the #GDPR requires this). Now, #Australia also want to read private messages for law enforcement - a comms privacy issue going back to the telegraph. google.fr/amp/s/amp.theg…



Design really interests me, but it doesn't come easy. This is a fantastic article that grabbed me at the beginning with this, "The key to becoming a better visual designer is rigor." medium.freecodecamp.org/before-you-can… #visualdesign #rigorouseffort


A very easy-to-read breakdown of what it means to "clean" your data, looking at Missing Data, Outliers, Bad Data ... It is an opinionated article, but to clean anything you must have an opinion about WHAT clean means. towardsdatascience.com/the-art-of-cle… #cleandata #datascience


Dean and Diony at Paperform have launched an upgrade, and it's just wonderful! If you're interested in online forms (a landing page, a quote page, even terms and conditions!) then you owe it to yourself to have a look-see. paperform.co #paperform #onlineforms


GitHub continues to rise, and Microsoft look to be keeping with the open-source mentality (although it's really too soon to see their long-term plans and goals yet). hub.packtpub.com/what-we-learnt… #github #opensource #securityalerts


While third-party trackers in apps are known, here's a report on a paper from Oxford University that claims a big portion of those feed back into Alphabet (Google), Facebook and Twitter. Is this all building to something big? hub.packtpub.com/90-google-play… #personaldata #apptracker


Ben takes a look at Apple shifting its reporting away from unit sales and into services. This got me thinking about Cook's keynote recently on privacy. Will they be able to keep as little data as possible while creating their own social-ish network? stratechery.com/2018/apples-so…


A look at the IBM/Red Hat activity - As usual Ben's (@stratechery) analysis is first-class. Particularly - that there is little evidence to suggest that IBM is itself in a healthy enough place internally to drive this into success. stratechery.com/2018/ibms-old-… #ibm #redhat


See this my kids, this is why math is important! This is an easy-to-consume look at AI/machine-learning from a mobile development pov. Worth a read for any developer or tech-junkie. hub.packtpub.com/how-is-artific… #ai #machinelearning #mobiledevelopment


Some excellent tactics with sound reasoning on Landing Pages from Stephen Altrogge at @PaperformCo . The 2017 statistics on the word count of landing pages (invisionapp.com/inside-design/…) is _very_ interesting. paperform.co/blog/landing-p… #paperform #landingpages


An interesting article on Aussie FinTech companies, particularly regarding the royal commission and especially the open banking initiative coming next year. It'll be an interesting time! startupdaily.net/2018/10/almost… #fintech #openbanking
