Topcoder is a 600K+ strong global softwaredevelopment community focused on the design, development, and data science that redefines business. Register now for this live webinar to join our innovation experts for a deep-dive into what innovation looked like in 2015, including: Game-changing innovation trends throughout the year.
billion in 2015 to $12.6 million units in 2014 to nearly 25 million units in 2015. Although it’s difficult to accurately size and predict rapidly growing markets, IDC analyst Ryan Reith believes Apple Watch will ultimately account for 62% of the smartwatch market in 2015. billion by 2018.
A survey done by Deloitte in 2015 revealed that only 38% of over 7000 companies surveyed retained a traditional structure. Consider Ryan, a softwaredeveloper at ARCA, a Holacratic global manufacturing and services company. Ryan felt the company was neglecting the consistency of the look and feel of their software.
.” A phrase by Satya Nadella, former executive president of Microsoft, during an event at the American Chamber of Commerce (Ancham), in 2015, became one of the biggest technology hits of the decade. In the old years of 2015, the phrase left everyone speechless. Development of web / mobile applications + Software factory.
How did this happen and why is Nepal a great place not only for culture, food, nature and the highest mountains on earth but for softwaredevelopment as-well? The next day, we had the first meetings with a local softwaredevelopment company and discussed our current and upcoming challenges. How it all began.
Companies like Verizon , Ericsson and Samsung have realized this war for talent they must fight with Google, Facebook, Amazon, LinkedIn, and a few other companies and are making big investments in Bay Area, opening large softwaredevelopment centers in order to attract such talent and create the appropriate critical mass in these areas of interest.

“Ecosystems have become more interconnected and startup teams have become more international,” according to one comprehensive 2015 global research survey. But speed and agility matter measurably more for many innovators than proprietary softwaredevelopment and patent filings. Does this frighten IP attorneys?
To address this question, we studied the virtual interactions of research teams at universities around the word on Dropbox , analyzed how the collaborative dynamics related to performance and developed a list of best practices that organizations can use on any file-sharing platform to improve team performance.
Agile — the management approach that relies on small, entrepreneurial, close-to-the-customer teams — has a reputation that reflects its rapid adoption in softwaredevelopment. In 2015, the price of oil dropped dramatically. It’s for techies. It’s for hip Silicon Valley startups.
The Lean Startup is an approach to developing new products that came out of “Agile” softwaredevelopment, with “sprints” (quick deliverables) and fast learning. They’re now working on version 8, which they will produce in October, and version 10, with better lighting, and there is a design projected for 2015.
In fact, IoT is at the peak of Gartner’s 2015 hype cycle, which suggests the next phase will be disillusionment, and it will be years before we see real productivity gains. Of course, softwaredevelopers have long since figured out how to export data from one application to another.
For example, GE has created a digital platform in the energy sector that its own and third-party softwaredevelopers can write applications to. You have to conceive and build a new platform and reshape partners in the ecosystem in ways that would not be possible without digitization and algorithms.
billion in the rest of Europe over the period 2010-2015. A 2015 survey by Wayra , a startup incubator, last year found that over a fifth of startup talent in the UK came from other EU countries. billion as compared to $4.4 Decision-Making Will Be Held Hostage to Uncertainty. The digital talent market in the UK is already tight.
The platform owner must also show softwaredevelopers what’s in it for them if they contribute. In 2013, Johnson Controls invited developers to help them build Panoptix, an energy efficiency platform for buildings and office space. Opening platforms the right amount is necessary but not sufficient.
Similarly, Facebook’s Blueprint courseware initiative launched in 2015 champions new user capability. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and SoftwareDevelopment Kits (SDKs) are the secret sauce for digital platform innovation and enhancement. Improving user capabilities would measurably improve Airbnb efficiencies.
In 2012, an estimate of a trillion internet-connected devices (by 2015!) Traditional manufacturing is extremely rewarding, but it takes an incredible amount of time and money to develop new products and it’s virtually impossible to accelerate the process without sacrificing quality. Software, in contrast, is incredibly fast.
Despite the fact that Niantic, the American softwaredevelopment company that developed Pokémon Go, has failed to maintain high levels of engagement on the game (its current user base is now 30 million users), the phenomenon demonstrated AR’s potential to be adopted by mainstream culture.
One area where Goodhart’s Law gets even more dangerous is in target-based softwaredevelopment, especially Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In 2015, Google used machine learning to let Google Photos tag faces of friends in uploaded photos. That way it could not die. However, other examples are not so harmless.
It could be because “softwaredevelopment typically requires large upfront fixed costs,” meaning that firms that are already pretty large are the ones who can afford to invest in it. Perhaps, as OECD economist Chiara Criscuolo wrote in 2015, “ Some firms clearly ‘get it’ and others don’t.”
electric utilities during 2008-2015—a period in which the decentralized model was in its uncertain, nascent phase. Think here of enterprise-softwaredevelopers such as Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle, who are undergoing the disruptive change to cloud-based software service.
In 2015, for example, there were 23 states that had fewer than 10 black students who took the AP computer science exam. No such line of sight exists between taking algebra, calculus, or computer science and a job as a successful, well-paid data scientist, softwaredeveloper, or chief technologist. Insight Center.

World leaders met and easily exceeded the UN’s prior goal of halving the number of people living in extreme poverty and hunger by 2015. One of the most effective ways to implement this kind of flexibility in thinking is through a concept borrowed from the world of extreme programming (XP) and Agile softwaredevelopment known as the “Spike.”.

To understand how traditional software vendors can move to the SaaS model while managing the transformation’s challenges, we studied how the stock market reacted to publicly listed firms announcing they wanted to introduce a new SaaS offering from 2001 until the end of 2015. Collaborate and partner with cloud platform providers.
” (A bill was introduced in 2015 to raise the cap and liberalize other rules around H-1Bs, but died in Congress.) In the private sector, for instance, softwaredevelopers, petroleum engineers, and data scientists were found to be in high demand. biomedical sciences, physical sciences).
