The Google Story

Today, I completed the book "The Google Story". The book is really good and gives an insight how amazing the Google is. Google founders, Sergey Brin and Larry Page have authoritatively demonstrated the power of innovation and technology.

They just wanted to solve the problem of searching the web. They really solved it and how!!

I particulary liked their motto "Don't be evil". I think this "Don't be evil" attitude helped Google to gain the popularity merely by word of mouth. It is hard to believe that Google-the most powerful brand in the world has not spend much in advertising as compared to others.

SAP and Ruby

I switched to SAP.

Yes, that is true. I am posting after a long time and that too with a sudden change in the technology for me. I was not expecting this change but it was inevitable. I could not get a Ruby on Rails project from my client so I had to look outside for the Ruby projects.

I realized that there are not many good opportunities in Ruby and Rails domain. SAP and JAVA are the technologies in demand and that is where the most of the work is done. I chose SAP as I have always regarded it as the one of the most innovative product the world has ever seen.

On the first day, I found that there is a Ruby library allowing access to SAP via the tried-and-true RFC technology. This was exciting that though in SAP world, I can still work with Ruby !!! I plan to try this out and post it on my blog soon.
