What are your IT goals? What kind of work do you see yourself wanting to do once you are solidly into the industry?

ITWare on SystemD and JournalD in SUSE 12.

I think that the biggest thing is just to jump in and start doing it. Use it anywhere that you can.

It is a very straightforward scam. I'm shocked that people actually not realize that a scam is happening.

LinuxInsider gives us a look at Qubes OS which is a Xen distribution with integrated Fedora 18 for making highly secure desktops with total isolation between environments.

What's worse... how many of us here talking about this are NSA spies?

It sounds like a reasonable move.

InfoWorld on the 10 Coolest Features of iOS 8.1

It's a cute idea. I wonder how much anyone would care about the games that you can play with it, though. I'm not going to take that with my friends to the bar to play with while waiting for drinks.

@scottalanmiller Yes you re right to learn programming. Like I said software testing work together to software developer they are team player . If I get my hand- in experience l will learn Java or Ruby n rails in future to write scripts under test, become software test developer

Normally you learn programming before looking into software testing. Software testing is a branch of programming, so knowing how to program is generally the first step in looking into software testing.

Red Hat is nearing the release of Fedora 21. Fedora 21 will come in three flavors: desktop, server and cloud. Red Hat is also preparing a Docket distro to make rolling out Docker easier. It's name is Project Atomic.

Great. When do we get a link to the movie?

In addition to knowing the code being handed over to you, most software testing is done in code today. So you need to program for both sides of the job.

Things are looking better for Windows 10 as usage of Windows 8.1 makes a leap forward.

Hey now.

@Reid-Cooper . Great Reid. I prefer to learn Ruby on rails" or pick Python? Which one you recommend please ??

Rails is a framework that would not apply to testing. You would learn Python or Ruby, but not Rails. Nothing wrong with Rails, but that's not something that you would use on the testing side and would only be applicable to you if you were specifically testing Ruby on Rails, rather than normal Ruby, applications.

Also, Ruby on Rails has integrated testing, so the need for testing team for it is less. So the number of jobs for testing Rails applications will be lower than the number of Rails developers would lead you to believe.

Joyent, one of the largest and most innovative cloud players, has decided to open source their cloud technology. Joyent also makes products like Node.js and SmartOS.

Thanks Matt!

Thanks for writing this up.

This one will be interesting to the gaming crowd as well as the Raspberry Pi crowd. A raspberry pi powered portable arcade system.
