4. The First Encounter 1979

5. The First Encounter 1979

6. The Second Encounter 1980

7. The Nature of the Second Encounter
BASIC Language was mostly used.
Assembly Language was also used.
The Birth of the First Spreadsheet application VisiCalc.
Many other applications that cover many areas such as Word
processing, Graphic Design, Text Editors and File
Management.
Academic Use.

8. The Third Encounter 1981

9. The Nature of the Third Encounter
Connects to a mainframe computer either online or through a
modem.
You could develop applications or run applications.
Mainframes Systems allowed for multi-user environments
using Timeshare concept.

10. The Fourth Encounter 1983

11. The Nature of the Fourth Encounter
Used Xenix O.S. or CP/M.
C and C++ was used under the Xenix O.S.
Basic and Cobol were used under CP/M.
Applications used where related to many usages such as
Financials, Project Management, Payroll Personnel and
Spreadsheets.
Was sold to small companies called nowadays SMBs.

12. The Fifth Encounter 1984

13. The Nature of the Fifth Encounter
Used PC-Dos O.S. which was launched by Microsoft.
Was one of the major breakthroughs in the PC industry.
All kinds of applications were produced for it.
Arabizing helped in spreading the IBM PC in the Arab
Countries.
DB-Based from Ashton-Tate helped programmers to create
diversified applications.
Lotus and WordPerfect also set the standard for the software
industry in Word-processing and Spreadsheet.

14. The Sixth Encounter 1984

15. The Nature of the Sixth Encounter
Novell started by creating a PC that failed to compete in the
market.
Building on the ARPANET, the predecessor of the Internet,
concepts; Novel was able to create the main product Network
Operating System (NOS) which was later branded as Novel
NetWare.
Novel NetWare was the de facto standard for Local Area
Networks where PCs could be connected with each other.
This allowed developers to produce multi-user applications
that are PC based.
Novel NetWare was killed by the introduction of Windows
Networking on Windows 3.1.

16. The Seventh Encounter 1989

17. The Nature of the Seventh Encounter
TANDEM Computers produced the first and the one and only
Non-Stop system which provides high availability and
scalability. This was back in the late 70’s.
Used for Critical Mission Applications till today.
It is now called Non-Stop HP.
The Tandem architecture was the first to introduce what we
call now Service Oriented Architecture.

18. The Eighth Encounter 1989

19. The Eighth of the Fifth Encounter
Although Microsoft Announced Windows in 1983 but it
became widely commercially used in the late 80’s. Especially
in our region since Arabic was the main challenge.
With Windows we were able to use the same PC for multiple
tasks at the same time. Multitasking was the main highlight at
the time.
Windows allowed for applications like MS-Office and Visual
FoxPro to be available in the market.
Windows also created the environment for developers to
develop the next breed of applications that enjoyed not only
the multitasking feature but also the GUI interface.

20. The Ninth Encounter 1991

21. The Nature of the Ninth Encounter
Was first introduced in the late 60’s early 70’s when the US
Department of defense introduced ARPANET, the predecessor
of the Internet.
Allowed for distributed applications to be introduced.
The concept took off in the 90’s after the advancements that
took place on LANs and WANs.
Massive number of applications to cover many business areas
were developed.
Best examples of such applications are E-Mail, Network
Printing and the World Wide Web.

22. The Tenth Encounter 1995

23. The Nature of the Ninth Encounter
A derivative of the ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects
Agency Network) which was created by the US Department of
Defense.
Introduced to concept of the Browser.
HTML was also introduced.

24. The Tenth Encounter 1999
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

25. The Nature of the Tenth Encounter
Introduction to the concept of loosely coupled units of
functions.
Each Service implements at least one action.
Metadata is used to describe how services pass messages.
The concept of APIs is widely used.
SOA allowed B2B and B2C to flourish.
QoS became a necessity and the concepts of SLA and OLA
became part of the industry.

26. The Eleventh Encounter 2000

27. The Nature of the Eleventh Encounter
The concept started in 60’s when time-sharing was
introduced.
The concept died with the revolution of the PC industry.
After the birth of the Client-Server virtualization was brought
back to live by creating the Virtual Machine Concept.

35. Cloud Computing
Became a reality after the Virtual Machine Concept was
mature.
Allowed Consumers to use their OPEX rather than CAPEX.
The overall benefit is more cost effective and efficient usage
of IT resources and the overall resources of an organization.
Pay As You Use concept was born.
Elasticity is now a new term used in the Cloud Computing
World.

Mobile Technology

43. Mobile Technology
If you think about it, the Mobile and the Tablet is the new
generation PC.
Software companies must cater their apps to the mobile
machines.
This is more evident after the introduction of the BYOD
concept in 2009.
Mobile Apps are also addressing IoT.
Mobile Devices are now Wearable and Apps must also cater
for such devices.

44. Wearables Will Struggle to Find Their Place in
Everyday Life. They Still Need a Killer App.

46. IoT Developer Survey
The Eclipse IoT Working Group, IEEE IoT and AGILE IoT co-
sponsored an online survey to better understand how
developers are building IoT solutions.
The survey was open from February 11 until March 25, 2016.
A total of 528 individuals participated in the survey. Each
partner promoted the survey to their communities through
social media and web sites.

47. Findings
46% of respondents are delivering IoT solutions today
An additional 29% have plans to deliver an IoT solution in
the next 18 months.
