Episode 004 - Apache Software Foundation
He is one of the founders of the Apache Software Foundation, has over 100 open source publications on Github, works for msg and heads the cross-divisional research department. In an interview with Mark Lubkowitz, Dr Ralf S. Engelschall explains how today's best-known open source foundation was founded, how the name Apache really came about, why open source is so relevant and what we can do in future to continue supporting open source.
Episode 003 - Design Thinking
As a human being, I want solutions to my problems. Most of the time, others have to provide these solutions. But how do they find the best solutions? How do they find the problems that actually need solving? And how do they develop an understanding of me and my problems in the first place? The third edition of the Software Engineering Talk explores these questions.
Pirjo Friedrich and Jens Brünink from msg and Minnosphere answer these and other questions in an interview with Mark Lubkowitz.
Episode 002 - GraphQL
GraphQL implements the principle of client-directed queries. It therefore compensates for disadvantages that established interface technologies such as REST suffer from. But has a new star really risen in the sky with GraphQL? Or is it just a brief flash?
Michael Schäfer, Principal IT Consultant at msg, answers this question in the first story special ‘GraphQL - A Star Is Born’.
Episode 001 - Blockchain
Are the many blockchain-based solutions actually sensible application scenarios for blockchain? Or is blockchain often just a solution for which the right problem is still being sought? Which use cases actually make sense and which can also be solved using traditional software engineering concepts, methods and technologies?
Dr Ralf S. Engelschall, Head of msg Applied Technology Research, answers these and other questions in an interview with Mark Lubkowitz.
