I’m presenting at the Red Hat Summit 2012 conference next week, Thursday June 28th @ 2:30pm at Campground 1 – I’m going to be talking about some work we recently did at Accenture in collaboration with Red Hat to grow OpenShift skills at Accenture.
Here’s the details of the session from the link above:
Growing OpenShift Skills within Accenture: The J-Prize Coding Contest
June 15th, 2012
by Accenture team
In Spring 2012, Accenture collaborated with Red Hat to run the “J-Prize Coding Contest” for Accenture Java developers. The focus of the contest was to design and develop a Java application and deploy it to OpenShift, Red Hat’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering.
“Cloud-related technologies are rapidly maturing and are increasingly being used by our clients to deliver real value,” said Kevin Hooke, Manager, Open Source Initiatives Lead for the Accenture Java Development Program. “The contest helped us grow our Java developers’ knowledge and experience with building and deploying applications to the cloud using PaaS offerings such as OpenShift.”
To learn more, attend the Red Hat campground session hosted by Kevin where he will discuss the success of the contest, the benefits gained for Accenture, and he will showcase the four winning applications.
