What do they mean… to you?

• Internet of Things– Connecting “ordinary things” to the net like your car, house or refridgerator

• Cyber security– Keeping you and companies safe from interlopers

• Big data– Mining the mountains of data to discover useful information

• Cloud computing– Leverage centralized computing capacity and build an elastic infrastructure

• Next gen mobile– More capablities, better screens, improved connectivity

• Agile dev– New ways (iterative / collaborative) to develop products / services

• TV integration– One of the “internet of things” from above

• Social, social, social– Everyone seems to think we want to be social but do so online?

• Device integration (e.g. glass, monitor)– New classes of devices that can be accessed (e.g. heart monitor)


What do YOU want to talk about?

I am prepared to talk about the following:

– Networking– Internet pipes and technologies– Browser technologies– Encryption– Cloud computing– Development

What else?What else?


Networking

• Every device is uniquely addressed• Data is sent in packets, streaming a

challenge• Networks require traffic police (routers)• Networks are dangerious (firewall)• Servers and users are connected• Ports allow traffic to be segregated• Increased traffic means bigger pipes


Domain Names

• People don’t do numbers… need names– Top level domains (.com, .org, .edu, .xxx)– Works from right to left– About 150MM w/ 100MM .com (

www.dailychanges.com) – Find (www.godaddy.com), Register, Setup,

Maintain

• DNS system– Globally replicated database– TTL

Encryption

• Keep data safe from prying eyes• Keys unlock the information• Inverse keys… key to encode and a

different key to decode• Public / private key• Challenge / response, two-factor• Using the same key (symmetric) is

dangerous and cumbersome.


Cloud Computing

• On demand• Scalable• Ubiquitous• Virtualized• Model: pay as you go (no CAPEX)• Uses

– Storage: supporting applications (e.g. evernote)– Storage: supporting private apps (e.g.

sharepoint)– Virtual computing: support dynamic hosting

(e.g. ecommerce)


The Browser

• Top Browsers– Chrome, IE, Firefox, Safari

• Mobile versions of them all• Started as static, now program

environment– html5test.com, rogerdubuis.com, bjork.com

• Differences– Language support: HTML, CSS, JavaScript,

Flash– Layouts change


Development Soup

• Agile• Programming languages vs programming

environments • WordPress, Joomla, • LAMP• .NET vs anything else (ruby, python, PHP)• Open vs. closed environments• MySQL (open) vs stuff from Microsoft or Oracle• Ecommerce platforms• 3-tiered, middleware, multitiered• Model View Controller (MVC)… .NET, Cake,

Django• Usage scenarios / stories


Databases

• Table: each with one or more columns• Columns: (fields) each with a type• Keys: locate/refer row quickly• Normalization: so data is not

repeated• Lesson: keep data clean so database

is fast, efficient– duplicate data, “messy” information


Other Fun Things to Talk About

• Google Docs• Mobile Computing & Tablets• IT and Developing Countries• Online Video & Education• Viruses, Trojan, Key Logger, Assorted

Malware• VOIP• Web Monitoring
