A (retired) blog for independent software vendors (ISVs) on Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Old workshop — Software developers are often stuck in their ways and are laggards (or sometimes even luddites) when it comes to using new tools and technologies such as Platform as a Service.

Hi, I’m Andrew Biss – a software industry veteran and hands-on innovator who loves helping people improve their products and processes.

The PaaS Talk blog is about what Platform as a Service (PaaS) will mean to independent software vendors (ISVs) making the move from using traditional tools and techniques to the very different mindset and approach required to build, deploy and operate SaaS applications.

For PaaS Talk I moved to WordPress because of its massive developer community. More visitors and increasing site traffic gave me practical experience with web-analytics and search engine optimisation. For local testing I changed to XAMPP for Windows.
