In the USA, we always think we are ahead of the curve.  As we are seeing in many areas, this is no longer necessarily true.

I was reminded of this recently when I was contacted by IBM EMEA.  They are helping a university in South Africa, University of Stellenbosch, set up a BSc Honours course in Computer Science on Situational Applications.  They will be using my book Power in the Cloud as the basis for the class.

I have recently seen an up-tick in interest in the idea of situational applications.  It's getting ready to take off!
