Week 11 – BPM Technologies and Software Development Trends are two topics very relevant indeed for me so I jump into this week’s course material with great enthusiasm. “we examine some of the technologies that are needed for BPM to fulfil its potential”. We are also give valuable pointers to articles which highlight and discuss the skills shortage which I am amazed (and relieved?) to find is global and not just unique to my part of the world. Used to be the ratio between computers and IT workers was one to one. Now the workers are outstripped by a long way. And guess what I find? A magic instructional technique to train object oriented programming called “Alice”..”a new approach to teaching programming. It features educational software known as “Alice” and uses a drag-and-drop method to teach object-oriented programming; it’s available as a free download at www.alice.org. Once students learn the basics of object-oriented programming, it’s easier for them to code it”. Well go on then – train everybody under 10 IMMEDIATELY so we can have enough IT People by the year 2015.
