Anticipating change is tough when the unexpected is thrown at you out of the blue. With enterprises, there's enough disruption with advances in technology to keep the most seasoned professional on constant alert. Add in external disruptors and you're looking at a slow-motion chaos that's a real challenge to manage from management down to the front-line programmer.
This month, we have a handy guide to the current state of modernization to help you sort through it, and a great conference coming up in October where you can roll up your sleeves and learn how to make it work in realtime.
