Submission + - The Apache Software Foundation's newest Top-Level Project: Apache Flink (sdtimes.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: "Flink is an open-source Big Data system that fuses processing and analysis of both batch and streaming data. The data-processing engine, which offers APIs in Java and Scala as well as specialized APIs for graph processing, is presented as an alternative to Hadoop’s MapReduce component with its own runtime. Yet the system still provides access to Hadoop’s distributed file system and YARN resource manager.

The open-source community around Flink has steadily grown since the project’s inception at the Technical University of Berlin in 2009. Now at version 0.7.0, Flink lists more than 70 contributors and sponsors, including representatives from Hortonworks, Spotify and Data Artisans (a German startup devoted primarily to the development of Flink)."

Submission + - PHP vs. Node.js: An Epic Battle for Developer Mind Share

Submitted by snydeq
snydeq writes: Simplicity vs. closures, speed of coding vs. raw speed — InfoWorld's Peter Wayner takes a look at how PHP and Node.js stack up against each other. 'It’s a classic Hollywood plot: the battle between two old friends who went separate ways. Often the friction begins when one pal sparks an interest in what had always been the other pal’s unspoken domain. In the programming language version of this movie, it’s the introduction of Node.js that turns the buddy flick into a grudge match: PHP and JavaScript, two partners who once ruled the Internet together but now duke it out for the mind share of developers.'
