Time for drifter Johnny to finally go home and for you to relax, as this is our last problem in the 2013 Cool Summer Internship race. Thank you for sending us your solutions, it was surprising to see so many good ones we received!

We expect your proposals here by Thursday, May 2nd, 10:00 AM GMT. Do not forget about the rules.

Johnny Wants To Go Home

Johnny is drunk homesick. After having spent the past years on the Island of Despair, he has suddenly decided to sail home. For this, he managed to build a boat. During his sailing, he discovered that the boat is small and cannot withstand a storm. As if it wasn’t enough, Johnny drank too much rum and is afraid of getting lost. Definitely, not a good day for sailing.

Once again, we have a lot of openings for the 2013 Summer Internship in Bucharest, Romania. You can find the full list on the Stagiipebune website.

Our selection process is very similar to last year’s – basically every week we will publish at least one problem. You have to solve it and send us the solution.

The NoSQL Madness – Part 1

This article has been in draft for quite some time, and since one strike plus one storm led to a change in a flight schedule… what better moment for completing it? 😉

History

A few years ago, many developers somehow reached the conclusion that SQL databases are bad and the right solution would be no SQL databases. All this madness started when developers behind several highly popular services discovered that MySQL was not as scalable as they had hoped for.

Software users get critical when confronted with an issue. There is also a good chance they will tell their friends they hate your software.

If you are a technical writer, the time when a customer can’t make head or tail of what you wrote is the best time to receive feedback. A technical writer’s challenge is to deliver the right information at the right time, without adding frustration.
