As we continue to sharpen our skills in our practice, we expanded our knowledge in a few areas which are directly related to our client work. The topics that attracted us this past month were DataStax 6 and Docker, The Internet’s Humble Beginnings, IT as an Opportunity Center, Human Achievement, Skeuomorphic Design. The following are 5 of the most interesting things we stumbled across during the month of June. (Last month: Leaves May 2018).
