Progress beyond on-premises: Managing edge DevOps complexity

Software engineering for edge environments should be carried out on, in and with edge computing tools, platforms and services. It seems almost irrational or crazy that we should have to say it out loud, but building the compute edge requires edge technologies.

Progress promotes people-centric programming

Developers build code and so, logically, they need to deliver code above all else, right?

This misconception was one of the lies developers tell themselves tabled by Microsoft’s Billy Hollis during his keynote session at Progress360 in Boston this month.

The truth here (and what developers should really be doing) is building code when and if it actually adds some positive functionality to user experiences.

Progress Advocates Policy-As-Code Approach For Sharper Secure IT

Companies run on policies. A typical business might establish policies to help govern expenditure, employee behavior and conduct, investments and corporate gifts or bonuses, to name a few areas.

Yes Chef! Progress serves up 2022 partner plaudits

So does UI testing really fit into CI/CD at all? And what tests should developers have in place without slowing down their pipelines?

Empathy, a must for leaders

The pandemic brought about a paradigm shift in the way organizations operate. The lines between our professional and personal lives blurred. Work became global and the competition intense. When the pandemic led to thousands being unemployed, many were happy to just have a job. Before the pandemic, working from the office was the norm. Working from home was something one did under extreme circumstances.

Progress360 2022: day one keynote live report

The email came in quite quietly over the weekend, just in advance of the morning keynote the following day… and it read, “So, it’s like a normal developer event – all over again right?”

The truth is, things may never be quite the same in the (possibly) post-pandemic period that we now dive forwards to, but the Computer Weekly DeveloperNetwork team is on the road again and this time its Boston, USA for Progress Software’s Progress360 developer event, staged from September 11-14, 2022.

Privacy in the age of personalization

Women’s Equality Day: A Day of Reflection for Women in Tech

Commemorating the Nineteenth Amendment being adopted into the US constitution, instigating women’s right to vote, Women’s Equality Day has become a marker for how far gender equality has come over the last century.

Using a Digital Experience Platform to Adapt to Evolving Customer Expectations

It’s no longer enough for a brand to make just a good first impression – brand reputation depends entirely on customers’ consistent and impactful digital experiences and the intelligence, efficiency and personalisation of their browsing and buying experiences. Digital experience can mean many things, but one thing is clear – its direct correlation to customer loyalty and retail success cannot be underestimated. According to Deloitte, customers who have a positive experience are 140% more likely to spend than those who have a poor experience.
