It's Not Just about Being a Programmer
To begin this blog about the
visit from our guest speaker Shad Rack, I would like to state that I am
thankful that I showed up to this class early so I could know what to do to
obtain the extra credit, and that is why my title for my blog is, “It’s not
just about being a programmer.” Shad was
about six feet tall, and looked to be middle aged man that seemed successful. I would say that he looked successful just in
the way he stood tall, wore business casual clothing, and spoke clearly and
precisely. Shad talked a lot about cloud
computing at first and described how we are going back to using that as a main
system again. Basically you can reach
all your data from one mainframe, instead of having multiple mainframes. Excuse if this sounds wrong, I paraphrased
Shad as much as possible on the definition of cloud computing. He created four companies I believe, however
he only discussed Airlift and Infoblox.
I thought that his website airlift was pretty interesting for a couple
of reasons, but mainly because he showed us a visual. First of all, he incorporated cloud computing
into his website to reach out to as many audiences as possible. This was possible because his website had
several different home pages that you could access or see just by refreshing
the page. I cannot remember all the
websites he had, but the one I do remember is the one that helped obtain licenses
for selling marijuana. Also, the
websites just looked sleek and modern.
All in all, I thought that Shad was very successful, and hoped his new
company would succeed.
