Hands-on
Cloud Learning
For Debra Lilley, the time is right to stop thinking about building
something with a cloud development platform and start doing it.
"The best way to learn something is to dig in and have a go," says
Lilley, vice president at systems integration firm Certus
Solutions. That "have a go" attitude prevailed for a group of
Oracle ACE Directors who, like Lilley, joined a one-day OTN
Developer Cloud Challenge in Amsterdam this summer. This article
shares tips and opinions
about Oracle Cloud Platform from five project teams
that took part.
Lilley says that IT teams—especially enterprise IT shops—don't
fully appreciate how much the cloud has accelerated the pace of
software innovation, such as how quickly Oracle is adding new
features and refinements to its cloud services, based on user
feedback. "This continuous innovation really is there," she says.
Although Lilley wants more APIs and built-in integrations with
cloud services, "I said that a year ago, and it's a lot better now
than it was then." |
