Addressing the rapid pace of IT transformation across all industries, IBM has announced new social technology enhancements to developerWorks, to help software developers more easily work together on open standards-based innovations.
While developers have access to a wide variety of IT resources scattered across the Web, many are struggling to maximise their productivity and are faced with filtering through multiple networking sites just to get to the technical information they need.
IBM is responding to these requirements, with MydeveloperWorks, combining social computing technologies and professional networking into developerWorks, IBM’s online destination for IT professionals worldwide.
“There has never been a better time to harness social technology and drive some of the world’s most important transformations – from energy to healthcare,” said Himanshu Goyal, country manager, Academic Initiative, Developer Works and Globalization, IBM India. “IBM now brings collaboration technology and content together to help developers maximise their productivity and tackle new IT challenges by quickly establishing a worldwide network of peers. Developers can use this capability to get recognised by the global IT community and more easily find technical resources they need to succeed in their field.”
Now developers can gain real-time access to key technology updates, connect with experts around the globe and build critical skills requirements quickly to speed development and bring new innovations to market faster – from deploying complex cloud computing applications to architecting a smarter energy grid to building Java applications.
Based on Lotus Connections, developerWorks members can now collaborate in a secure vertical network that connects people around a focused task or goal.
