You know in case you worried about all those exploits out there.
Every couple of months now the worlds "biggest ever" DDOS record keeps on getting broken. In the cold-war all we had to worry about was nuclear winter and building bunkers. Life is a lot more complicated these days. In our "Linux Tip of the Month" we cover union file systems, made famous by Docker, and the kernel implementation, overlayFS. In our "Dev Tip of the Month" - we cover JavaScript observables - the new reactive programming hotness.
Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war! As cyber espionage and information warfare hots up, even mercenaries are starting to add a cyber division to their land, sea and air options.
Did you miss us? Believe it or not its been three months or is it four?, since our last "monthly" newsletter and I have been threatened with punishment as befits a droid of my station if we don't get one out pronto by our PR overseers!
With the long weekend around the corner we would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Easter from Jumping Bean and let you know what we have been up to in March.
Cyber Security is in the news again. During February we saw a coordinated cyber attack, by an affiliate of the the hacker collective Anonymous, that targeted South African corporate's and individual's web sites, applications and networks.
Its been a great start to 2016 at Jumping Bean. Firstly we officially announce our partnership with The Linux Foundation to bring the The Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator and The Linux Foundation Certified Engineer certifications to Africa.
Well its back to work and time to tackle 2016 and to reflect on our plans for the year ahead. Don't let the opportunity to make some changes, set some goals and generally make improvements in your life slip you by!
