It looks like your favorite game was Pokémon GO! In fact, I'm pretty sure I watched some of you chase a 1200CP Vaporeon through my backyard. (Don’t GO and Drive!)
What can the incredible success of Pokémon Go teach us about digital business? It pays to combine innovation with safety and the right technology partnership. Check out, “Learning to Build Bigger: Lessons from Pokémon Go,” by Paulette Stout to discover the real-life business insights we can gain from Pokémon Go. Here are my best Pokémon, are yours better? Comment below.
NoSQL databases are flexible, low cost and innovative. While it has not overtaken RDBMS, it has caused quite the disruption in database technology. You picked MongoDB as your favorite NoSQL database which is also currently the #1 non-relational database on DB-Engines’ Ranking list and #4 overall.
ODBC was your favorite data standard, followed closely by OData. ODBC 1.0 was released in September 1992 and remains largely universal today as one of the best standard APIs to connect disparate systems. We have been very involved in the creation and development of the ODBC standard, including the latest release of ODBC 4.0. Learn more in Sumit Sarkar’s post, “What Does the ODBC 4.0 Announcement Mean?”
OData is the newest standard on the list and oftentimes the least understood; check out Mike Johnson’s post, What is OData and Why Do You Need It?” to get a firm grasp on the topic.

Here are 15 Facts About The Matrix That Will Shatter Your Reality from IFC.
