It's less about fun and playing a game and more about motivation theory to positively influence behaviors based on a set of criteria or goals.

Yes, it’s all about audience and content; distribution will continue to change and evolve.

Very insightful "magazines" regardless of format or distribution model will always entertain and inform a mass audience.

Hey, would you be willing to share any of those CloudFormation templates, puppet modules, or Vagrant scripts? I want to set up something like what you're talking about for my company and I'm new to all this. It would be nice to see an example that works, thanks!

An agile process tends to focus on iterations, and
client feedback, to allow for the inevitability of changing requirements
whereas a waterfall process tries to define all requirements up front, and
tends to be inflexible to changing requirements. You can learn more about agile
and scrum by referring to some free resources
(http://www.scrumstudy.com/f... provided by scrumstudy or by attending any agile scrum certification
courses. I would personally suggest Agile Expert Certified course or a Scrum
Master Certification to you.

After thinking over for quite a while about whether to go for PMP or not
certification, I opted for a PMP prep course , Instructer
was too good and I passed with relative ease. Looking forwards to apply what I
learned in PMP
classes in my company.

Re: Always be ready to learn: Learning RhodeCode and Python for Managing Code Repositories

Hi Trent,

I’m CEO at RhodeCode and it is great to hear that you like it!

We are having lots of schools and universities as users and they are using the latest version of RhodeCode, called RhodeCode Enterprise, to teach programming, project management and version control systems.

It seems that you were testing a fairly old version and I recommend you to upgrade to RhodeCode Enterprise which has many new security and productivity improvements. RhodeCode Enterprise is free for EDUs and teams of up to 20 users.

It can be downloaded from our official website https://rhodecode.com - any other location just hosts the deprecated version.

So, thanks again and please contact us at any time if you need help for doing the upgrade or if you have any question about RhodeCode :)

Best regards,

Sebastian

You are correct. We have solved this problem by mounting an NFS point and symlinking the var and media folders so all servers share the same images.

Tiger Walk — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 09:00:54 -0000

I'm not sure that will work, the solution Ashley is suggesting seems to be relying on there being only one server, in your scenario you could have multiple servers behind a load balancer so potentially you could upload an image onto one server but when Cloudfront wants the image it could go to a different server.

Unless you use one single server for admin but that defeats the object.

jasonevans1 — Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:48:41 -0000

Good Question. I am currently working on adding CloudFront to my stack to host the product/category images. I am following this article by Ashley Schroder. http://www.aschroder.com/20... I will give an update when I have this added to my stack.

nice article, how did you manage to resolve the issue with replicating product/category images across ec2 instances?

Russel adword — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 11:09:44 -0000

if you go for a shared environment, never go with "unlimited resource" companies, you will only find overcrowded servers. Go with providers that offer you a decent amount on space, but always look for the best technology in terms of connectivity (DC) and server features, or a reputable Cloud provider, singlehop, rackspace, cloudways, crucialcloud, etc! don't see the single account features... that's really silly.

Hybris Vs Magento

eCommerce businesses work hard to win the attention of shoppers and bring them to their websites. At the same time, they have invested substantial budget and effort to present the most compelling shopping experience possible. From Web2.0 and social media features to engaging video ads and product configurators, each eCommerce business strives to stand out from the competition to boost sales and maintain consumer loyalty.

I have already requested and received my refund. I had just renewed, expecting the print magazine. They did not ask my opinion. I would be curious how many cancel.
