Manaus software company launches game for smartphones – Globo.com

The first mobile game produced by the Tree of Dreams, software company established in 2011 in Manaus, will be released on Saturday (1st). In “The Cannon Man Adventures”, the player controls the firing of cannons during the presentation of a “bullet man.” The scenario is depicted in a circus show. We invested approximately R $ 200 thousand in the development of the game, which took a year and a half to get ready and have versions for devices with Android system, Google and iOS from version 7, Apple.

According to the chief programmer of the company, Claudio Sampaio, Brazil members, China, Germany and the United States have downloaded the game.

The idea of ​​the game came from another game, also on pitch a character created by Sampaio.

“I wanted to do something more fun and more challenges. So we set up a team and we were working and learning to develop at the same time,” he said.

In the app, the character “skinny” is released in Cannon cannon to the user touching the screen. Sometimes the trigger is automatic and other cannons move increasing the difficulties of the game. Finally, the “Cannon Man” has to land on a platform on the water using the actual cover as parachutes. The closer the target the player manages to make the character land, the most points wins.

The game is free to all ages and is now available for free download on the virtual store applications. The player also has the option to buy more bars of lives and even Treams. – Coins that can be used to anticipate some stages

Phase
The first version of the game Manaus has developed in 60 phases. The first 20 are scenarios that resemble a sunny morning at an amusement park. The following steps are the depths of the sea in the character turns into a diver.

It is expected that new challenges reach users before the end of the year. “We are already developing new phases such as Lost in Space, in which the ‘Cannon Man’ is an astronaut and will be released by guns in outer space,” said Daniel Hebron, creative director of the Tree of Dreams.

Launch
On Saturday (1) at 20h, developers plan to officially launch “The Cannon Man Adventures” in the hamburger Dungeons & amp; Burgers, located in the Milky Way Avenue, 100, number in the Adrianópolis district in the south-center of Manaus. At the time, the creators will talk about game development and production of new games like Neon Hero Defense and Gaia’s Revenge.

Gartner indicates that IoT will foster new software vendors – Bitmag

IoT favors the emergence of new software vendors, says … – Computerworld

The advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) will trigger the emergence of new software vendors. According to Gartner, this tends to occur because companies need solutions and licensing rights management (LEM, which stands for Licensing and Entitlement Management) that enables secure, differentiate and monetize offers oriented concept.

“To move the value of the device hardware product for the software that operates on the device, and applying an appropriate licensing strategy, products manufacturing planners can maximize the potential of revenue values,” he says consultancy.

The institute estimates that by 2020, fail to hire a LEM system results in a 20% drop in revenue potential generated by software to device manufacturers connected to the IoT.

Gartner notes that many manufacturers still use a traditional mindset to their products, and do not consider the additional revenue opportunities systems and embedded applications controlled by licensing.

“Most of these companies are new suppliers software, particularly device manufacturers and original equipment, which can now monetize their software through the IoT, “he said.

The Consutoria points out that, to monetize the systems on their devices, providers may increase and propel revenue streams, creating billions of dollars in additional value.

It is estimated that there are over 25 billion “things” connected around the world. Thus, if manufacturers could collect an average of $ 5 per software each unit installed, it would generate additional revenue estimated at $ 130 billion.

In the near future, the IoT will lead business transformation for several manufacturers, allowing use of the software on the device to differentiate products and solution offerings. As suppliers of the traditional software industry, device manufacturers need to protect and monetize intellectual property contained in the application.

When control product functionality, features and capabilities of Internet-connected devices through flexible licensing, manufacturers can better compete in new and existing markets. In addition, the software controlled configuration provides more flexibility for manufacturers regionalize their offerings and develop niche solutions for specific markets without making stock-keeping units separate product.

Gartner research indicates that most device manufacturers not have licensing systems and commercial rights management to monetize the IoT. “This is because, historically, they had lot of intellectual property of software to protect. According to the consultancy, initially they will try to build LEM capabilities internally, since they already have the technical background and engineering who developed the hardware, “he explains.

Why IBM is recruiting 1000 software designers? – Computerworld

IBM is the newest enthusiast, between traditional IT players, to see the design as a key differentiator in the world of enterprise software. Last week, the General Manager of the Design Division (apparently a real position) in the Big Blue, Phil Gilbert said the participants of a conference focused on open source that the company 130 years old will create a design culture.

“We want to bring the design to everything we do,” said the executive, explaining that this means changing people, practices and environments involved in software development. For that to happen, he added, the company is committed to hiring 1,000 designers over the next six years. The idea is that two-thirds of that quota is of recent college graduates.

The aim is that these employees help the organization to apply concepts such as design thinking in order to “generate much better results for our customers, “he said. Recently, the company introduced the “camp” design on a base that holds in Austin (Texas) and said the concept on a smaller scale in other offices around the world.

Perhaps as important was the fact of the company have created a career path for designers, bringing the function as an official position, similar to the software developer, with titles such as “distinguished designer” and Fellow (for those who have not yet reached such status).

With increasing pressure to develop increasingly friendly technologies, focused on usability themes systems gain important players in traditional information technology. The idea, therefore, is no longer delivering products that do not enchant users.

Some may say it is an attempt to change a “conservative” reputation of the company, based in a world made of workers dressed in suit and tie. So, Gilbert points out that the search unit plan, not uniformity. The effort, he said, will “blend the old with the new.”

The leader of the area believe that the slope will bring a huge impact on the future of the company, but recognizes that it will take time to really occur . The strategy, he says, is to first find people to help in the process of changing the mentality, then to win small victories and bring more people to the project. The ultimate goal? “Aligning the entire company to a focus centered on people,” he concludes.

Corel Software processes Microsoft for patent infringement in … – Tudocelular.com

Corel Software, the company that developed the old and almost forgotten word processor program WordPerfect is suing Microsoft for infringing the its patent rights because of a feature called Live Preview, present in Office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

The feature allows users to preview changes to your documents before applying them. For example, the Live Preview kicks in when the user selects a text and access the drop down menu of fonts to choose from. By sliding the list of options and hover over them, the Live Preview shows the selected text with the source being pointed to by the mouse cursor, even without clicking to apply the change. The appeal, of course, save a handful of clicks.

The company, which became more famous by the Draw vector graphics software, claims that the Microsoft infringement is intentional . Among other statements, Corel’s complaint said that around 2011, Corel’s representatives have engaged in communications with Microsoft about a potential sale of these patents. That is, according to the indictment, the software giant refused to purchase but used the resources anyway.

The theories behind Corel’s claims also include Microsoft’s patent claims for quotes for some of these patents and the rejection of Microsoft’s patent applications by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, because of certain patents Corel / WordPerfect.

It is clear that the Corel strategically really want is (still) sell patents to Microsoft. WordPerfect today is nothing more than history, so there is no business reason for which Corel would need them. It is possible that Corel has a good chance of getting that Microsoft buy these patents, but before that can happen, the case will go to trial. And if Microsoft lost, the damage can be substantial.

Software architecture in DevOps – – iMasters – iMasters

A new book written by Len Bass, Ingo Weber and Liming Zhu, called DevOps: Perspective of a Software Architect “, part of the SEI Series in Software Engineering, looks at how the DevOps affects architectural decisions, and . role of a software architect in this universe

The authors focus on the DevOps objectives: send software to production as quickly as possible, minimizing the risk, time-to-market and the balance of such securities by the quality .

DevOps is a set of practices designed to reduce the time between sending a change to a system and its release to manufacturing in a very short term, while at the same . time high quality

These fundamental practices are:

1. Engaging in operations as a customer and partner, where “one party is first class “in development. Understand and meet the requirements for implementation, registration, monitoring and security in the development of an application.
2. Engage developers in incident handling. Developers are taking responsibility for your code, making sure that it is working properly, helping (and often assuming the role of first responders) to investigate and resolve problems in production. This includes the role of a “reliability engineer” in each development team, someone who is responsible for coordinating changes and adjustments to operations, to ensure that changes are successfully implemented.
3. Ensure that all code changes and configurations are made using automated, traceable and repeatable mechanisms -. as a deployment pipeline
4. Continuous Deployment check-in for production changes to maximize the speed of delivery, using these conduct.
5. Infrastructure as code. Provisioning and configuration operations through software, using the same types of quality control practices (versioning, comments, essays) and application software.

Culture and collaboration between developers and operations, shared values ​​and organizational issues, the softer side of DevOps, are considered only insofar as they are factors that can affect the speed or quality time-to-market delivery.

As a reference to the architects, the book focuses on architectural considerations for DevOps. He discusses how cloud-based systems work, virtualization concepts and especially micro-services.

While DevOps does not necessarily require major architectural changes, the authors argue that most organizations adopt DevOps think an approach based microsserviços, and Amazon as Pioneer are Netflix, minimize the dependencies between different parts of the system and among different teams, and this will also minimize the time required for changes in production. – the first step of DevOps

The law of Conway also comes into play here. Work on DevOps is usually done by small multifunction agile teams solving problems end-to-end independently, which means that they will naturally end up building services for small and independent companies:

Having a composite of small services architecture is a response to have small teams.

But there are disadvantages and costs in a microsserviços based approach.

As Martin Fowler and James Lewis point out, the microsserviços introduce many more points of failure. This means that the resilience has to be designed and built for each service. Services can not trust their customers or other external services. You need to add defensive verification data and anticipate failures of other services, implementing times and retries, and let it go or alternative safety standard behaviors if other services are not available. You need to provide their service to minimize the impact of the failure of other services, and to make it easier and faster recover or reset if necessary.

The microsserviços also increase the cost and complexity of the system test end-to-end. The runtime, performance and latency are degraded due to the overhead of remote calls. And the monitoring and troubleshooting production can be much more complicated, since a single action often involves many working together microsserviços (an example is LinkedIn, in which a single user request may trigger a chain of up to 70 services).

In DevOps, monitoring becomes a more important factor than architecture and design in order to meet operations requirements.

The chapter on monitoring explains you need to monitor your environment and why, bringing DevOps metrics, challenges in monitoring under continuous change systems, monitoring and tracking of microsserviços cloud, common log management and monitoring tools for online systems.

Monitoring also becomes an important part of live tests on DevOps (Monitoring and Testing) and plays a key role in the continuous deployment. The authors look for common live test types, including canaries, A / B testing and the famous Army Simio Netflix in terms of passive scan (Chaos Monkey, Monkey Compliance) test and live asset (Chaos Monkey and Monkey Latency).

Security is another important cross-cutting concern in software architecture discussed in the book. He looks at the security basics, including how to identify threats (using Microsoft’s STRIDE model) and the resources that need to be protected, CIA, identity management and access controls. It provides an overview of the security controls in NIST 800-53, and common security issues with VMs and cloud architectures (specifically AWS).

In DevOps, security needs to be connected to the continuous deployment :.

1. By imposing that all changes to the code and configuration is done through continuous deployment
2. Security testing should be included in different stages of continuous deployment phase.
3. Protecting the product itself, including logs and other artifacts, and performing security checks that need to be part of monitoring (as Monkey Monkey Compliance and Security Netflix).

Developers – and architects – have to take responsibility for building their testing and deployment of automated testing routes. The book explains how the continued deployment takes advantage of the seamless integration and shows common approaches to code management and test automation. He also emphasizes the role of deployment along the access rules – manual or automatic controls decisions at different points to determine if it is ok to move on from development testing to stage production tests and then send the final code for the production.

The book does a good job explaining the common DevOps practices, especially on continuous deployment in a development, rather than in the context of operations. It also looks at contemporary issues in software architecture, including virtualization and microsserviços.

It is less academic than the other book Bass, “Software Architecture in Practice,” and emphasizes the importance of the world operations real and relative reliability, security and transparency (monitoring and live control tests) in architecture and implementation.

This is a book written primarily for enterprise software architects and managers who want to understand more about DevOps, continuous settlement and its cloud services.

If you are already a DevOps professional and works with microsserviços cloud probably will not find anything very new here.

But if you are researching how to apply DevOps scale, or how to migrate corporate legacy systems to microsserviços in the cloud, or if you’re a developer who wants to understand the operations in which the DevOps can improve their work, this book is definitely worth reading.
