If someone had told me that I was going to work at Financial Times at one day, I would never have believed...
It is happening now, I've just joined a project for the FT where some of the work is going to be done at the client's office! The funny thing is that I have been passing FT's building on my bicycle for the last one year or so and have never even thought that I might work at that place.
Today I spent my first day at FT learning GigaSpaces and OpenSpaces. Yet another stuff I have never thought I might need to learn in my career! Especially that I am slowly thinking of doing RoR development (after a couple of years of Java). Now it looks like I will be doing Java for another couple of months, if not for a year. Even so, I think it is worth having GigaSpaces in my CV!
Anyway, I am not an expert here, but it sounds like a very promising solution for a highly performant, scalable and distributed application. Something the FT need!
