JAMA SOFTWARE SCOOPS UP $20 MILLION

So as the importance of software rapidly increases, tools that help organizations to conceive, build and deliver software also grow in importance. One of these tools, Jama Software, is today announcing a $20 million investment which is in part fuel for this growth but also in part a validation of the opportunity. This funding round takes Jama’s total funding to date to $33 million.

CATCH GAMELOADING: RISE OF THE INDIES

Portland’s indie gaming scene continues to grow and flourish, fueled in part by the wealth of game experience throughout the region. But building games as an independent can sometimes be a very solitary existence. So it’s nice to get out once in awhile. So why not hit a movie? About indie gamers. Okay. Even if you’re not a game developer you should check out GameLoading: Rise of the Indies.

WRITE THE DOCS 2015 ANNOUNCES SPEAKER LINEUP

I may not be able to write. But I know good documentation when I see it. And I can always use a little more learning on how to be better at documenting things. If you’re in the same boat, you’re not going to want to miss this year’s Write the Docs 2015 event in Portland, this May. Because it’s bringing some awesome folks to the stage.
