Spring 2013 Quarter

- HTML Essentials (CTEC 122 – two classes)
- Advanced PHP (CTEC 127)
Teaching is something that I have always been interested in doing career-wise and, this opportunity provides me with an opportunity to give it a try. Over the last couple of weeks I have been guest lecturing and so far so good. The students are amazing and it’s a huge departure from the “enterprise” world that I came from. They offer a totally different perspective that I am welcoming with open arms.
At Elguji we are hard at work on IdeaJam 2.0 which is going to be a groundbreaking release. We have learned a lot about running a micro-ISV both in the on-premises world and the world of cloud computing. There are some amazing things you will be seeing from Elguji in 2013. We recently launched V1.3 of our popular IQJam product.
I will be at Connect 2013 with Gayle and will be delivering three sessions:
- Apps, Apps, and More Apps: Meet the Very Best Open Source Apps from OpenNTF (with Niklas Heidloff)
- Meet the Java Application Server You Already Own – Domino (with Serdar Basegmez)
- How We Built CollaborationToday.info in a Matter of Weeks (with Per Henrik Lausten)
2013 is shaping up to be another amazing year and I would like to thank Gayle, my family and friends for their support.

Congrats on the success that’s come from all your hard work.
Congratulations, Professor! You’ve been an inspiration as long as I’ve known you, and will continue to be so for a long time! Your students are lucky to have you! I will see you down at Connect 2013, and we will toast your success (while I pick your brain about the steps you took to do what I hope to someday do myself…) Cheers, my friend!!!
Congratulations on the success that has come as a result of all your hard work and creative thinking.
Congrats to you and wishing you continued success.
See you and Gayle at Connect very soon.
It’s a little known fact that my degree is in education, primary education in particular. A return to teaching in some fashion remains my eventual IT exit strategy. I’m looking forward to hearing how you get on. I imagine you’ll find it very rewarding. More power to you Bruce you’re inspirational.
