		<title>The freemium/premium model is winner both for the developer and the user</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Android application developers often opt for a simple freemium/premium model, which, when we think about it, is great for everybody.
Let&#8217;s consider the Slideshow for Facebook app as an example. Instead of relying on other people&#8217;s comments to decide whether it&#8217;s worth paying $0.99 for your app, it makes sense to download the free version (in [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do you sell Software Development Services ?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to buying Software Development Services, clients are typically stuck with a few classical options, such as :

Renting &#8220;resources&#8221; for a given hourly/daily price. For instance, an &#8220;Intermediate Java/Jee Developer for 95$ / hour.
Outsourcing (fixed-term, fixed-cost) to  an offshore (or nearshore) team.

The goal of either renting resources or outsourcing your development is to increase [...]]]></description>

Shapado : ruby, mongomapper, mongodb

So, as usual, we see the python &#38; ruby communities working on actual, useful applications, while the Java community is busy creating frameworks and libraries

		<title>The next big thing is Usability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Usability is something most teams outside the Apple circle do not care about.
However, luckily enough (or sadly enough, depending on how you see it), developers are keyword-addicts, and some things suddently start looking cool as soon as they are trendy. Nobody cared about the business logic before, but now that  Domain Driven Design is considered [...]]]></description>
