In my free time, I do programming.

Web Application or Business Intelligence?

Wow feels like forever but i feel blogging today after months of being swamped with work non-stop (sarap!).

Last March 2007 I was tasked to research about Pentaho. It's the Open Source Business Intelligence Software powered by java. After a week or two I was back again in web development. Until last week I was asked by my boss if given a rating one to ten how can I rate myself with pentaho. I answered him one?! Stick out tongue yeah, I know it's almost as good as zero but after experiencing Pentaho it's just to broad to my perspective to installation to usage of data mining, reporting. Honestly I rated myself one because I don't know what kind of problems am I going to solve with Pentaho. It was like I was given a "thing" and I'm trying to describe it as best as I could but without any actual problem to try it on. Of course I could have ask If I could at least try but then I felt my passion was not in creating reports but in the whole web development creating solutions with the web and the Internet. I just love the whole web development It's like an art in which you let anyone see and admire or critic. (sigh!)

Maybe I'll give Pentaho another chance after I satisfy my web development hunger. Stick out tongue

Hahaha!

I'm in the same delima right now. I'm working with dataming and Micrsoft Reporting Services since jluy and my hand has been itching on working with actual code since day one of my current project.

But, Then again, I realized that this is some sort of a good experience for me because theres not alot of people who are on the report writing field and I could add it as another flavor to my already colorful resume. ;)

Nothing bad with learning I guess...
