Weekly bean - 23/11/2012

Friday - as usual - the regular Moresby Coffee Weekly Bean took place at Canary Wharf. Where we were talking about the IT world, news, experience, technologies.

Weekly news

• Nexus 4 vs. Google - http://www.google.co.uk/nexus/4/

Weekly topic

Windows 8

We were talking about the new Windows 8 UI. I can't understand why two desktop was introduced instead of one. In the new windows it's not easy to change application, to find the application what you need. The "metro" UI is not bad on desktop, but the easily accessible application switcher is missing.

NoSQL database

Wiki

• Taxonomy
• Document Store - Eg.: MongoDB
• Key-Value Store - Eg.: Apache Cassandra
• Graph Database - Eg.: Neo4J
• Query language
• Cloud support

Groovy

I had started working with Groovy and we were talking about my experiences especially about Static vs. Dynamic typing.
