I started preparing for
<a href="http://www.iiba.org/">IIBA </a>certification last summer (2012) and I managed to sit the exam in April
2013. It’s twice the time it took me to prepare myself for <a href="http://pawelzubkiewicz.blogspot.com/2010/03/togaf-9-certified-great-success.html">TOGAF 9</a> certification (both levels). But, to be honest I had two serious distractions
during my preparations.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Firstly, at the end of 2012 I started looking
for a new position, luckily for me I started my new job in Feb 2013.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -24px;">Secondly during that time I had an opportunity to go for another certification called OCEB. I took it, and I succeed!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So when I had my new job and the <a href="http://pawelzubkiewicz.blogspot.com/2013/04/oceb-certificate-acquired.html">OCEB certificate in my hand</a>
I could focus on my IIBA certification. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are two certificates issued by IIBA. While the scope
of knowledge needed to pass each of them is similar and covers BABOK Guide, the
main difference is candidate’s experience in the field of business analysis.
Each candidate must prove:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">3750 hours in case of <a href="http://www.iiba.org/IIBA/Certification/CCBA_Designation/IIBA_Website/Certification/CCBA_Designation.aspx?hkey=16936d69-2ca1-48f4-ad1a-54bd40bd9df8" target="_blank">CCBA</a>, or</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">7500 hours in case of <a href="http://www.iiba.org/IIBA/Certification/CBAP_Designation/IIBA_Website/Certification/CBAP_Designation.aspx?hkey=56c17206-917f-49f2-af7d-cf98f5be4a39" target="_blank">CBAP</a></span></li>

At the time of filling my application to IIBA, I had over
4000 hours of BA work experience, so my choice was... an easy one :-) Almost ten
months later I passed the exam and earned my Certification of Competency in Business
Analysis<sup>TM</sup> (CCBA®) certificate. <o:p></o:p></div>

Description of my preparations to the exam will be covered

<div class="MsoNormal">
At the time of writing that post there are 3 people
(including me) in Poland with CCBA and 3 (or 2) with CBAP. In comparison with
other countries IIBA’s certification is still rather exotic and unknown in my
country. (Numbers taken from IIBA’s <a href="http://www.iiba.org/IIBA/Certification/Certification_Registry/IIBA_Website/Certification/Certification_Registry.aspx?hkey=ef6f2bc3-b6d6-40a4-a38d-36c681b5daea">certification registry</a>). <o:p></o:p></div>

In March 2013 I passed OCEB exam and became <a href="http://www.omg.org/oceb/coveragemap-fund.htm">OMG Certified Expert in Business Process Management</a>. This exam mainly focuses on BPMN 2.0
language and Business Process Management knowledge, methodologies and
techniques.<o:p></o:p></div>

Preparation<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Apart from the workshops that I attended organized by
training provider (Altkom + Topaz) I also prepared myself individually. Mostly
I used two resources: a book and free test questions.<o:p></o:p></div>

choice. There is only one book on the market <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NZ7HRG/ref=as_li_ss_til?tag=pawezubkblog-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B005NZ7HRG&adid=1MSGR3V63SD9PFK7GWCK&">OCEB Certification Guide:Business Process Management</a>.
After I read it I found that book does not go much into details but on the
other hand it is on the sufficient level of details to pass the exam. <o:p></o:p>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I didn’t want to buy any test questions so I used sample
available for free on <a href="http://www.businessprocessincubator.com/OCEB">http://www.businessprocessincubator.com/OCEB</a>
website (look for a “Free Practice exams to test your BPM knowledge”). I think
those questions are a little bit harder than those on a real exam. This is a
good tool to evaluate your knowledge before the exam.<o:p></o:p></div>

pozycją. Autor, </span><span style="mso-ansi-language: PL;"><span class="h3color">Simon J.Benn,</span> na <b>55 </b>stronach zmieścił bardzo wiele rzeczowych spostrzeżeń przydatnych

starczyłby pewnie na 300 bądź więcej stron w standardowej rozwlekłej, pełnej powtórzeń formie (bardzo obecnie popularnej). Tutaj jest
inaczej, <b>autor wie, że przedsiębiorca nie ma czasu na eseje, wyczystko jest

<span style="mso-ansi-language: PL;">Moim zdaniem strzał w dziesiątkę!
Przykładowo jak ktoś z czytelników stwierdzi, że potrzebuje poprawić swoją
koncentrację na spotkaniach to sam sięgnie po odpowiednie materiały. W książce
mamy tylko stwierdzenie <i>„Jak jesteś w pokoju, to bądź w pokoju”</i>. To jest taki
dość ekstremalny przykład i cała książka nie ma formy zbioru najlepszych cytatów.
Żeby oddać jej sprawiedliwość nadmienię, że autor na kilku stronach pragmatycznie tłumaczy
jak policzyć zwrot z inwestycji w marketing. Generalnie jest krótko i zrozumiale.</span></div>

Dziś od <b>godziny 18.00 </b>w promocji wydawnictwa <a href="http://zlotemysli.pl/pzu,1/" target="_blank">Złote Myśli</a> znajdzie się książka - "<a href="http://www.zlotemysli.pl/pzu,1/prod/12168/armia-cesarza-daniel-wilczek.html" target="_blank">Armia cesarza</a>" autorstwa
Daniela Wilczka! Cena początkowa to <b>tylko 5,90 zł</b> - czyli prawie 25 złoty mniej niż poza promocją! Co godzinę cena będzie rosła o 2 zł aż do 1.00
w nocy - dla wersji elektronicznej
ebook (PDF, EPUB, MOBI) oraz audio mp3!<br />
<br />
Zwiększająca się cena co godzinę to nowość na rynku księgarni - przynajmniej w Polsce. Poprzednia taka promocja skończyła się dużym sukcesem - kilkaset kopii sprzedanych.<br />
<br />
Książki nie czytałem, więc nie mogę jej polecić. <a href="http://www.zlotemysli.pl/pzu,1/prod/12168/armia-cesarza-daniel-wilczek.html" target="_blank">Na stronie</a> ma wiele pozytywnych opinii. Tematyka zarabiania i zarządzania własnymi pieniędzmi mnie bardzo interesuje dlatego samemu zamierzam ją kupić i przeczytać w wolnej chwili ;-)Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-5567015236028855552012-09-12T10:03:00.002+02:002012-09-12T10:10:59.803+02:00Enterprise Architecture TurnaroundToday browsing books on amazon I found good deal. A book about Enterprise Architecture. It's on sale (72% save) and has many good reviews by people who bought it. The book is called <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006WOP7GU/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B006WOP7GU&linkCode=as2&tag=pawezubkblog-20" target="_blank">Enterprise Architecture Turnaround</a>. Right now Kindle edition is <b>$11.39</b>, that's quite a deal comparing to paper version which costs $39.99<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Zrobiłem sobie prezent w postaci podstawki do
mojego dużego <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002GYWHSQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002GYWHSQ&linkCode=as2&tag=pawezubkblog-20" target="_blank">Kindla</a>. Jest to mały, składany stojak dzięki temu niezwykle
wygodny w transporcie. Wykonany z metalu stylizowanego na aluminium (amelinium,
tego nie pomalujesz ;-) a może to jest aluminium – nie jestem pewien.
Generalnie stojak swoje waży i sprawia wrażenie przemyślanej i rzetelnie
wykonanej konstrukcji. Z resztą zobaczcie na zdjęciach sami.</div>

<span lang="PL">Jeśli chodzi o użytkowanie to przyjemnie się
czyta z Kindla na takiej podstawce. Na początku trochę dziwnie ale po chwili to
uczucie mija. Oczywiście taka podstawka przydaje się, gdy czytamy siedząc przy
biurku bądź stole. Osobiście lubię w ten sposób czytać, szczególnie gdy czytam
cos do pracy lub nauki. Generalnie są różne szkoły jeśli chodzi o postawę i jej
wpływ na czytanie. Niektórzy twierdzą, że powinna być w miarę wyprostowana i
nie zbyt wygodna, (dlatego zdecydowanie odrzucają leżenie). Inni z kolei mówią,
że postawa nie jest ważna sama w sobie, a ważne jest tylko aby było nam
wygodnie i dla tych postawa leżąca jest już ok.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

W praktyce <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002GYWHSQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002GYWHSQ&linkCode=as2&tag=pawezubkblog-20" target="_blank">Kindle DX</a> stoi bardzo pewnie na stojaku. Natomiast przy obsłudze urządzenia, aby przycisnąć przycisk należy lekko złapać za tył obudowy (drugim palcem), bo inaczej cały stojak się przesunie pod wpływem siły palca. Z iPadem, który jest cięższy i ma dotykowy ekran, nie ma już tego problemu – wyśmienicie się go obsługuje na tym stojaku.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Ta książka to podstawowy materiał do
przygotowania się do egzaminów w celu uzyskania certyfikatów w obszarze analizy biznesowej CBAP i CCBA
wydawanych przez <a href="http://www.iiba.org/" target="_blank">IIBA </a>(wkrótce opiszę, co to za certyfikaty). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Merytorycznie pozycja zawiera wiedzę zawartą w
<a href="http://pawelzubkiewicz.blogspot.com/2010/09/przewodnik-po-analizie-biznesowej-babok.html">BABOK 2.0</a> oraz trochę komentarzy autorów na temat specyfiki egzaminów oraz
praktycznego wykorzystania owej wiedzy podczas codziennej pracy analityka
biznesowego. W książce znajdziemy też
wiele, krótkich historyjek z życia ilustrujących akurat omawiane obszary
wiedzy. Osobiście te historyjki uważam, za najsłabszy element książki – jednak są
one wyraźnie wyróżnione w tekście, więc bez ryzyka ominięcia czegoś ważnego możemy
je przeskakiwać i czytać nadal główną treść.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Jak już wspomniałem merytorycznie książka to
praktycznie BABOK, co akurat nie dziwi bo na obu egzaminach pytania dotyczą
wiedzy zawartej w BABOK. Jednak jeśli chodzi o formę to jest już duża różnica. Głównie
dlatego, że autorzy na bazie swojego doświadczenia, stworzyli proces analizy zgodnie,
z którym przeprowadzaj nas przez wszystkie zadania w obszarach wiedzy. Proces to może być dość szumne słowo, po
prostu ułożyli w pewnej kolejności zadania tak aby miało to ręce i nogi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Tutaj pozwolę sobie na dygresję. Proces to
jest coś, o czym niektórzy mówią, że jest wyraźnym brakiem BABOKa. Można w
sieci spotkać się z opiniami analityków, którzy uważają, że należałby stworzyć
taki proces i dodać go do BABOKa. Tak przy okazji, jak ktoś Ci kiedyś powie, że
BABOK to metodyka to możesz powiedzieć, że nie ma racji. Brak zdefiniowanego
procesu jest tego powodem. BABOK to Body Of Knowledge, usystematyzowany zbiór
wiedzy, coś na kształt biblioteki, a nie proces czy metodyka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Tak czy inaczej logiczne ułożenie zadań w
sensowną kolejność jest na pewno zaletą tej książki i ułatwia przyswojenie wiedzy. Po prostu dużo
lepiej się nią czyta. Dlatego <b>uważam, że jest to lepsza pozycja od samego BABOKa
nawet (a może i szczególnie) dla osób, które chcą dopiero zaznajomić się z
praktykami analizy biznesowej głoszonymi przez IIBA</b> i niekoniecznie chcą zdawać
jakikolwiek egzamin na certyfikat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">W książce znajdziemy oczywiście również
przykładowe pytania egzaminacyjne. Miłym zaskoczeniem dla mnie były dodatkowe
rozdziały z ekstraktem najważniejszych informacjami, które trzeba zapamiętać do
egzaminu, takich jak:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Listy
zadań</li>
<li>Techniki</li>
<li>Mapowanie technik na zadania</li>
<li>Właściwości wymagań</li>
<li>I wiele innych.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Takie notatki na pewno zaoszczędzą wiele czasu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Podsumowując książkę jak najbardziej polecam wszystkim przygotowującym się do egzaminu CBAP lub CCBA ale również, każdej osobie która
chce dokładniej poznać BABOKa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Ostatnio postanowiłem kupić sobie jakąś książkę </span>motywacyjną aby poczytać na
urlopie. Ponieważ pieniądze bardziej do mnie przemawiają niż psychologia (taki
ze mnie już zimny drań ;-) wybrałem coś w tematyce „jak się dorobić”. Wybór padł na
<a href="http://www.zlotemysli.pl/pzu,1/prod/12293/fastlane-milionera-mj-demarco.html" target="_blank">Fastlane Milionera</a> autorstwa MJ DeMarco. Akurat <a href="http://zlotemysli.pl/pzu,1/" target="_blank">Złote Myśli</a> wydały polskie
tłumaczenie i postanowiłem (z lenistwa) wybrać polską, mimo że trochę droższą niż
oryginalną, wersje. Oczywiście przed zakupem obadałem komentarze na Amazonie –
naiwny nie jestem ;-) W oryginalne książa nosi tytyłu <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0984358102/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0984358102&linkCode=as2&tag=pawezubkblog-20" target="_blank">The Millionaire Fastlane</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Muszę przyznać,
że Fastlane Milionera to świetna pozycja, nie zawiodłem się. Nie ma tutaj
żadnych rad w stylu "uwierz w siebie, myśl pozytywnie, rób to, co
kochasz". Żadnych sekciarskich, czy psychologicznych bełkotów. Wręcz przeciwnie, autor rozprawia
się z wieloma mitami na temat bogacenia się, jak i z opiniami wielu guru (m.in.
Robert Kiyosaki - ten od dwóch ojców). Wszystko jest poparte zdrowym rozsądkiem
i logiką osadzoną w realiach rynkowych, a z tym już bardzo trudno polemizować. Jego
opinie są jasne i pragmatyczne.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Autor wskazuje
trzy możliwe drogi bogacenia się (sidewalk, slowlane oraz fastlane). Opisuje
dokładnie każdą z nich i pokazuje, dokąd one prowadzą. Wymienia charakterystyczne
zachowania osób znajdujących się na każdej z nich, dzięki czemu łatwo spojrzeć
na siebie samego i zdiagnozować gdzie leżą problemy (o ile oczywiście dla kogoś
braku paru milionów na koncie to problem ;-)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">W ostatniej części
książki opisana jest Fastlane, czyli najszybsza drogą do milionów, do której
autor sam doszedł przez lata prób i błędów. Wyjaśnia w jaki sposób należy działać
aby na nią wejść. Oczywiście w tego typu książkach jest to zbiór dobrych rad,
drogowskaz i uświadomienie pewnych mechanizmów, nie mniej jednak bardzo
wartościowy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Mnie MJ DeMarco
przekonał do Fastlane. Teraz wiem, że pracując na etacie milionów nigdy nie
zarobię – dlatego muszę zmienić swoje podejście do pracy. „Pracuj mądrze, a nie
dużo”. Przekonał mnie też, że to nie pieniądze, a <b>czas jest najważniejszym dobrem na ziemi</b>. Straconego czasu nigdy
nie odzyskasz ani nie odkupisz, więc dlaczego go sprzedajesz komuś od poniedziałku do piątku? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Gorąco polecam "<a href="http://www.zlotemysli.pl/pzu,1/prod/12293/fastlane-milionera-mj-demarco.html" target="_blank">FastlaneMilionera</a>" wszystkim tym, którzy pragną zmiany na lepsze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="PL">Aha, autor jest
milionerem i dorobił się stosując opisane w książce sposoby, co bardzo
podkreśla przy okazji wytyka hipokryzje (jawne kłamstwo) innym guru od pieniędzy

<a href="http://pawelzubkiewicz.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-sweet-kindle-dx.html">My first Kindle DX (in Polish)</a> came to me in December 2009. I bought
used one from some guy in Switzerland on eBay for $570. Back then they were
only available in USA, there was no international version so second hand market
was the only option. The deal was good
and the device is working to this day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I loved my DX from a first moment. It was good but at some
point I wanted 3G in my device, so when there
was a sale on newer model <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002GYWHSQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002GYWHSQ&linkCode=as2&tag=pawezubkblog-20" target="_blank">Kindle DX Graphite (DXG)</a> I did not hesitate and
bought it for 279 dollars. It was over one year after I bought my first one.
DXG works little bit faster and also has better screen.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m a minority, most people use 6 inch Kindles I had two
almost 10 inches big. Over two years my books 'taste' changed from technical to more
business oriented (in simple words: no more code snippets and complicated
figures). So the need of big screen started fading. At the beginning of 2012 I decided that I must
buy a new one. This time a small one, so I can read books while travelling. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My choice was <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051QVESA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0051QVESA&linkCode=as2&tag=pawezubkblog-20" target="_blank">Kindle Classic</a> (one without
keyboard) for $79. It’s great, much lighter and faster then
DXG and can be easily put in jacket’s pocket. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately my girlfriend (on a picture below) likes it very much too, so right
now I read only on DXG ;-)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
I must also admit that Amazon did great job, I had no
problem with any of my devices. <b>I also persuaded 5 people to buy Kindle and
all of them are happy with it <o:p></o:p>;-)</b><br />

Na koniec marca 2010 roku <a href="http://pawelzubkiewicz.blogspot.com/2010/03/togaf-9-certified-great-success.html" target="_blank">byłem trzecią certfikowaną w Polsce osobą</a>. Ilu jest nas teraz?<br />
<br />
W sierpniu 2012 mamy <b>57</b> osób z certyfikatem <b>TOGAF 9 Certified</b> oraz <b>14</b> osób z certyfikatem <b>TOGAF 9 Foundation</b>.<br />
<br />
Wykres poniżej przedstawia zagregowane przeze mnie dane udostępnione przez The Open Group na ich stronie www. Dane pochodzą z sierpnia bieżącego roku i przedstawiają zmianę liczby certyfikatów w czasie od samego początku ich istnienia, czyli roku 2009.
<br />

<br />
Biorąc pod uwagę liczbę korporacji i dużych przedsiębiorstw w naszym kraju, uważam że nadal to za mało. Jestem zdania, że głównymi przyczynami takiego stanu rzeczy może być:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>brak dostrzeżenia roli architekta korporacyjnego w organizacji</li>
<li>niski poziom samoświadomości i rozwoju organizacji (<a href="http://cisr.mit.edu/files/2009/12/Topic-EA_slide2_lg.png" target="_blank">Poziomy dojrzałości</a> wg. pani Ross z książki <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1591398398/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=pawezubkblog-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399369&creativeASIN=1591398398" target="_blank">Architektura korporacyjna jako strategia</a>.)</li>
<li>Skupienie na technologii, a nie biznesie, które często objawia się jako "<a href="http://www.inteca.pl/pl/blog/item/20-koszmar-soa" target="_blank">wdrożenie SOI pod nazwą SOA</a>" - polecam bardzo dobry wpis na blogu mojego kolegi.</li>
</ul>
<b>A jakie jest Twoje zdanie na temat architektury korporacyjnej w Polsce?</b> Zostaw swój komentarz proszę!<br />
<br />
Z wykresu widać, że większość osób od razu wspina się na drugi poziom certyfikacji czyli Certified. Cóż, nie ma co rozdrabniać się na drobne ;-)<br />
<br />
<i>Uwagi techniczne</i>. Jeśli chodzi o źródło danych to napisałem program typu screen scraper, który automatycznie generuje mi listę certyfikowanych osób. Lista została ograniczona do osób, które w procesie certyfikacji jako kraj podały Polskę.Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-29933375353153081422012-01-27T13:38:00.000+01:002012-01-27T13:45:38.198+01:00Polish citizens against ACTA<span style="color: red; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;">Say NO to ACTA!</span><br />

Looks like there is serious security problem with our cards.<br />
<br />
On polish edition of Dragons Den was a guy who wants to do business on protecting cards from identification stealing.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Is mobile payment via NFC enabled phone the solution? Turning on application and providing pin turns on NFC chip, which starts to emit radio waves only for short time. This makes harder for thief to steal our cards credentials when we stay in a queue or sit in cafe. For default NFC chip is turned off and will not respond to RFID/NFC call.<br />
<br />
Seems like better solution for me :-)Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-81531625006306649972011-12-16T10:46:00.000+01:002011-12-16T10:52:18.597+01:00Brett King - Bank 2.0: Modality Shift<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The <i>real </i>customer orientation I'd say. Right now I get a feeling that in Poland banks are introducing mobile banking for wrong reasons. There is big hype about it and no one really want to be the last one to have it. I think they don't believe mobile banking will change the way customers interact with banks. Most of them think it's online banking on smaller screen. Especially for those kind of people this book will be most useful.<br />
I don't think everything Brett writes will happen in future (some of those things already happened ;-) but he's very smart guy. So getting to know his ideas and observations definitely will give you broader view on banking.<br />

Today I got an email from Google about Wave. The end is near :-(<br />
<br />
The message was:<br />
<br />
"Dear Wavers,<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More than a year ago, we announced that Google Wave would no longer be developed as a separate product. At the time, we committed to maintaining the site at least through to the end of 2010. Today, we are sharing the specific dates for ending this maintenance period and shutting down Wave. As of January 31, 2012, all waves will be read-only, and the Wave service will be turned off on April 30, 2012. You will be able to continue exporting individual waves using the existing PDF export feature until the Google Wave service is turned off. We encourage you to export any important data before April 30, 2012. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you would like to continue using Wave, there are a number of open source projects, including Apache Wave. There is also an open source project called Walkaround that includes an experimental feature that lets you import all your Waves from Google. This feature will also work until the Wave service is turned off on April 30, 2012. </div>
<br />
For more details, please see our help center.<br />
<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
<br />
The Wave Team"<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any good alternatives to Google Wave? It's opensource maybe someone will run it or already runs it? Please leave a comment if you know something.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">UPDATE:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've found that actually something is working and it has strong number of supporters. On Apache Wave project site <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/wave/">http://incubator.apache.org/wave/</a> there is info about their project "Wave in a Box". This will be easy to run on you Linux version of Wave, that utilizes other Apache's software. Apparently Google Wave was written is such way that it was not compatible with Linux. Right now guys are migrating stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are even working Wave servers right now. Look at <a href="http://waveinabox.net/">http://waveinabox.net</a>, in my opinion it works pretty good.</div>Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-89849936118201783732011-11-24T17:08:00.001+01:002011-11-24T17:46:49.887+01:00End of Google Wave<a href="http://mashable.com/2011/11/22/google-wave-knol-and-gears-headed-for-retirement-video/">Once again Google announced end of Google Wave.</a> Probably by the end of January Wave will be read-only.

[Minute of silence]<br />
<br />
The idea behind Wave was to replace email with new, modern way of communication. On Wikipedia we can read <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Wave">"[Wave] designed to merge key features of media like e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. Communications using the system can be synchronous and/or asynchronous, depending on the preference of individual users"</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>I think this concept was and still is great!</b> The best thing about it is that it saves us from the <u>replay mess</u>. What's replay mess? If you send email to more then one person and each of recipients replays at the same time then from on path of conversation N paths are created. Each replay created one. Paths are not synchronized. Sometimes people just want to comment on small thing but in this big mess any new mail crates bigger snowball and makes communication harder. At some point no one knows who wrote what and why. This makes me sick.<br />
<br />
That's why every time when I'm going to any holiday trip with my friends I encourage them to use Google Wave. It just works great. There is no mess in communication between many people. Everything is simple and clear.<br />
<br />
To summarize, I think that was a chance that Google really didn't seize. Unfortunately. They say that service didn't get good feedback from users, but they didn't even try to integrate it with Gmail. Come on? Few weeks later buzz was integrated into Gmail. That was big failure. This will sound like conspiracy theory but for me it look like Google wanted Wave to fail. I'm sure there were some political issues inside Google, and someone's project was shutdown. That project was Wave. That's how we lost great tool for communication and collaboration.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well... there is still little hope.

W sierpniu tego roku zostało oficjalnie zatwierdzone polskie tłumaczenie Glossary z TOGAF 9. Miałem przyjemność brać udział w pracach grupy, która owe tłumaczenie popełniła.<br />
<br />
Udział mój był raczej skromny a tego posta proszę potraktować jako formę promocji polskiego tłumaczenia, a nie mojej osoby ;-) Kilka najbardziej pracowitych osób (<a href="http://www.goldenline.pl/forum/2589046/togaf-9-translation-glossary-english-polish">tutaj wymienia je nasz koordynator - Rafał Jabłonka</a>) włożyło w nie wiele pracy i zapału. Udało im się stworzyć spójną listę terminów, które z powodzeniem można wykorzystać w dyskusjach technicznych ( Czy rozmowy Architektów Korporacyjnych w ogóle powinny być techniczne?), jak i podczas rozmów z klientami, którzy ze swej natury patrzą na problemy w ujęciu bardziej biznesowym.<br />
<br />
Tłumaczenie można bezpłatnie pobrać ze strony The Open Group, <a href="https://www2.opengroup.org/ogsys/jsp/publications/PublicationDetails.jsp?catalogno=c116">dokładnie stąd</a>. Gorąco w swoim i całej grupy imieniu zachęcam do czynnego używania oraz promowania go w swoich firmach. Po to zostało stworzone.<br />
<br />
Równocześnie dziękuję wszystkim, z którymi miałem okazję pracować przy tym tłumaczeniu.Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0Wrocław, Poland51.1078852 17.038537650.9483787 16.7226806 51.2673917 17.354394600000003tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-53866865867311861282011-07-18T09:02:00.000+02:002011-07-18T09:02:56.815+02:00JavaSE7 Launch - Wrocław JUG EventTomorrow (19.07) <a href="http://jug.wroclaw.pl/">Wrocław Java User Group</a> is going to have a meeting devoted to Java 7.

That's why I decided to buy his first book. fruITion is about creating strategy for organization and is written in similar light way as is recrEAtion.<br />

It has great user review rating (5.0 per 21 reviews) and it's kinda cheap (almost $7) so I took it too. I'm almost sure I won't regret it ;-)<br />

Really. It's <strong>Kościuszko. Książę chłopów</strong>, polish version of Alex Storozynski's book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Peasant-Prince-Thaddeus-Kosciuszko-Revolution/dp/B0055X6I8K?ie=UTF8&tag=pawezubkblog-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">The Peasant Prince: Thaddeus Kosciuszko and the Age of Revolution</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=pawezubkblog-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0055X6I8K" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" />. The book is biography of Tadeusz Kościuszko, but it's written in such way that it's really fun to read, even if your not history freak (I am not). It also tells about other historical figures such as Polish King Stanislaw August Poniatowski or George Washington. I encourage all of you to read this book and learn more about that US and Polish hero.<br />
<br />
That's my list, that's my plan for summer. I hope I will find time to read just a half of them. I also hope that I inspired you to read one of them ;-)<br />
<br />
PS. I almost forgot, I also plan to read <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Surprising-Truth-About-Motivates/dp/1594484805?ie=UTF8&tag=pawezubkblog-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=pawezubkblog-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1594484805" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /> by Dan Pink.Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-58728229373397589432011-06-15T17:28:00.000+02:002011-10-27T17:30:32.649+02:00My thoughts about iPad 2Everyone that knows me close, knows that I'm not a big fan of Apple products. Of course I have to admit that iPod and iPhone changed the market. iPhone was first real smartphone that was bought by ordinary people and not just by nerds but I don't like them at all. It's all about marketing and IMHO apple devices are for people who doesn't know much about technology.<br />
<br />
I'm a big fan of Google products, particularly Gmail, Calendar and Android. My phone that works on Android OS integrates with Gmail and Calendar without any problem and this is huge advantage of that platform in comparison with iOS.<br />
<br />
In march I bought iPad2. Why? Mostly because I don't like Apple products so I can complain about it ;-)<br />
Seriously the reason was: performance. It is so fast. There are no lags on it. It's super fast, if you don't believe me, go and watch some videos on youtube that compare iPad2 with Android 3.0 devices.<br />
<br />
This is my first iOS device and I was so surprise how limited iOS is. I was joking about it but when I started using iOS I realized how limited it is. In android you can thinker everything and if not you can always change ROM here you can change background. There are no widgets, just icons. You need iTunes on your computer to turn on iPad. Why? I will ask once again: why you need iTunes to turn on iPad for a first time?<br />
<br />
BTW: iTunes is rubbish. Every time I sync my iPad it reorganizes my desktops and icons on them. I really don't know what is going on there.<br />
<br />
When I plug iPad to computer I can't copy my files on it. I have to use iTunes. Lack of filesystem available to user is pissing me off.<br />
<br />
But I must admit that I like my iPad. Surfing the web is really nice, I can check my email sitting in my armchair or when I'm eating my breakfast. There are few applications that are brilliant (Twitter, Pulse, IMDB) and it's pleasure to work with them. But to be fair the same things I can do on Android based tablets so... I generally like the idea of tables, and I find using them very convenient.Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669613772297521930.post-20623092574725935562011-06-13T21:39:00.004+02:002011-06-14T18:14:32.788+02:00Continuous DeliveryToday I found another living and successful proof that <b>Continuous Delivery</b> can be done. Moreover it can be done in financial sector<br />
<ul><li>that must complies to many restrictions, and</li>
<li>operates with big amounts of money ;-)</li>
</ul>I'm talking about company called <a href="https://www.wealthfront.com/">WealthFront</a>. More information about their implementation of Continuous Deliver can be found on their technical blog at <a href="http://eng.wealthfront.com/">http://eng.wealthfront.com/</a>.<br />
<br />
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I remember <a href="http://dannorth.net/">Dan North</a>'s presentation, company that he works for - <a href="http://www.drwtrading.com/">DRW Trading</a> (also financial sector) - uses that methodology too.<br />
<br />
PS. There is also book about that topic <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Continuous-Delivery-Deployment-Automation-Addison-Wesley/dp/0321601912?ie=UTF8&tag=pawezubkblog-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation</a><br />

I'm writing that post because it's not so wide known how to do it - especially because Apple tells you to synchronize your contacts by iTunes. And Google prepared everything for synchronization but is silent about it. It even hides it from people around the world.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Basic synchronization</span><br />
When you add gmail account to iPad settings you can synchronize just one default calender and get/send emails. This sucks! I've got like six calendars and want them all. Oh, and you can't synchronize contacts. Come one, it's 21st century and Apple says to sync via iTunes... are they kidding me?<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Full synchronization</span><br />
How to do it? It took me some time to find out by it was worth it.<br />
<ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If you have basic synchronization remove it form your iPad.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Go to <a href="http://m.google.com/sync">m.google.com/sync</a></span></li>
<ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">If your language is not US English you will </span>probably<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> get error that 'your device is not supported' - it's a lie.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On a site there is a link to change a language. Click it, and choose English US.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes it does not work (for me it doesn't on Opera) so I use Chrome browser with <i>US English Language</i> set as default (I'm from Poland) then <b><i>magically </i></b>my device is supported.</span></li>
</ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">On the site click "<strong style="display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">iPhone</strong><strong style="display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> </strong><a href="http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252" style="color: #2200cc; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Read setup instructions</a>"</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">There will be tutorial on how to synchronize iPad with GMail, Calendar and Contacts. </span>Basically<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> you have to set up your gmail </span>account<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> in iPad as Microsoft Exchange account.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">After you're done with tutorial you can:</span></li>
<ol><li>Receive<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> and send emails</span> with built-in app</li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Synchronize Contacts with built-in app</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Synchronize Google calendars with built-in app</span></li>
</ol></ol><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">How to synchronize not your own calendars?</span></div><div>On Google Calendar I subscribed Polish Holidays calendar. There are such calendars for every country. By default that calendars can not be synchronized with iPad. But there is way do it. </div><div><br />
</div><div>When you go to <a href="https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect">https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect</a> you can see all your Google calendars but you can't check Holidays calendar :-(<br />
<br />
You need to go with you iPad browser to <a href="http://m.google.com/sync">m.google.com/sync</a> (change language on site if not US English), then you will get list of devices. My list just have iPad, click on it. You will see screen like that, with holidays calendar (Święta polskie - in Polish) able to check for synchronization.<br />

You should be able to select even holiday calendar (not own by you). At least it worked for me :-)</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div><br />
My only question is: <i><b>Why Apple and Google made that so difficult to synchronize and hide that information from users?</b></i> Lack of full integration between iPad and Google services was killing me, and it took me like a month till I found out how to do it.<br />
<br />
I hope this post will help you all to take full advantage of iPad and Google Calendar.</div>Paweł Zubkiewiczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18114391455936387348noreply@blogger.com0
