Google GTAC 2009: Niklaus Wirth and favorite quotes from the live Google Wave of GTAC

"Testing can only show the existence of errors, but never their absence." E.W.Dijkstra

"I don't know what to do, this is Windows" --- Nicolas Wettstein, Google

"If you don't like the tools in the software world, then I advise you to dive into the hardware world for a few days and you will come back happier" Prof. Niklaus Wirth

"Universities are not good places to learn programing." Prof. Niklaus Wirth (PS: a few professors here at the GTAC become very nervous)

"If the system gets complicated, automate it" - Niklaus Wirth (PS: I love this one, this is THE reason that pushed me to present my speech at the IASA Conference in New York. Techies love to repeat tasks... instead of creating automations, components or processes... they repeat like monkeys !!!)

"Testing is debugging until it runs" Niklaus Wirth (PS: That was true in the past, we learned the lesson: debugging is not testing ! Remember the monkeys)

Goggle GTAC 2009: What is and How to use Google Wave

Great, like in GTAC 2007, 2008... also GTAC 2009 offer to us new way to enjoy innovation and technology. I'm a Google Wave tester since early days like for other stuff like Google Voice... but before GTAC I never realized how much powerful could be Google Wave.

I went to Google I/O in San Francisco and I met the Google Wave developers a few time but this time we are the building a new way in creating contents, participating at the conference without any perspective about each other role, amazing.

Look at the screenshot, multiple wave, anyone can create wave and at run time everyone see them and can collaborate.
Building conference, contribution and new sessions at run time,
have fun !!!

Sorry, don't ask me for Google Wave invitations !
Sold out

GTAC 2009: Introduction, a great speech by Niklaus Wirth

I could never believe to listen Niklaus and learn from him the history
of Testing and Debuging software and hardware. We used to develop software and system to achieve stupid business processes and we can use multi-core and gigabytes...

Niklaus and his staffs invented languages to program and to address mathematical computation that was impossible to solve at his time.

Thanks Google to make this possible !!!

I'll add as soon as possible some pictures,

I'm sorry but I'm listend Niklaus... Great, hehe:

"More effective, because available now, would be simpler,, less baroque languages" by Niklaus Wirth

"Universities is not the best place where to learn programming, the professors stopped to developer programming..." Niklaus Wirth

Unbelievable

Profiles? Hey Googler why an important stuff is so fluky ?

Why the most important tool that everybody use to converge all Web 2.0 tools, presence, availability... and not only for all the wonderful Google services but also for any other type of Internet Web 2.0 sites is so mistreated ?

Very often happens what is happening now: it's more than 4 days that the Google Porfiles cannot support PHOTOS integrations. Usually when Google Profiles has some bugs you need to change, update, apply multiple time changes to solve issues...

But now neither tricks work anymore. Incredible, but think that one of most incredible fact is that the integration between PICASAWEB and Google Profiles stopped to work.

I had the opportunity to know well their effort in testing, thousands of testers, incredible investments on automated testing and they cannot:
- avoid to fail about simple bugs with Google Profiles...
- avoid to be informed when it become fluky...
- avoid that people stop to use Google Profiles and go back to other Web 2.0 profiles services...

Make available your presence and details for the Internet users in the Web 2.0 era is the most important feature and service of all Social Networking websites. Googler think that profiles could be used like "Single Point of Contact" for all users of your Social Networking competitors.

There's no other bugs that make your user frustrated or #$^#&*$^*#$#*
I'm an Google Apps user and customer but... Google your are missing points !!!
