Health care sector lags in cyberpreparedness, FBI says

Health care sector lags in cyberpreparedness, FBI says 
Health care companies lack the cybersecurity measures to protect patient data, according to an FBI report that says the sector is behind other industries. "The healthcare industry is not as resilient to cyber intrusions compared to the financial and retail sectors, therefore the possibility of increased cyber intrusions is likely," the FBI said in a notice to the industry.

Tech sector seen as leader in eliminating gender pay gap

 Tech sector seen as leader in eliminating gender pay gap 
With the national conversation focused on gender inequalities in employee pay, the technology sector can take confidence in knowing that despite its reputation as a boys' club, compensation disparities in Silicon Valley are among the lowest of any sector of the economy. According to data from Harvard economist Claudia Goldin, female computer programmers and engineers enjoy near parity of pay with their male counterparts -- significantly better than other professions, like doctors and lawyers. Goldin attributes part of the tech sector's success to its flexible work policies.

Forrester: Government stability, purchases boost tech spending

Forrester: Government stability, purchases boost tech spending 
Government and businesses will increase IT spending to $1.315 trillion this year and $1.4 trillion next year, Forrester Research predicts. "2014 looks like the first year since 2011 that threats of federal government shutdowns, potential failures to raise the federal debt ceiling, and austerity measures will not disrupt the prospects for US economic growth," Forrester's Andrew Bartels says in a report. Spending for software, including mobile applications, is forecast to rise to $284 billion in 2014 and $310 billion next year.

Higher productivity, lower absenteeism among benefits of remote work

 Higher productivity, lower absenteeism among benefits of remote work 
The work-from-home movement, despite some high-profile reversals from Best Buy and Yahoo, continued to accelerate in 2013 as businesses discovered that the higher flexibility and lower stress associated with remote work could affect their bottom line. A report from Premiere Global Services International says the average business cuts costs by $11,000 each year by letting full-time employees work from home -- in part because employees take fewer sick days and have increased morale. CIO.com

Emerging Programming Languages Developers Should Learn

Emerging Programming Languages Career Minded Developers Should Learn

If you're a developer looking to increase your employability, then learning a new language is always a good strategy. But the big question is this: Which language should you learn?

Take a look right now and you see plenty of vacancies for programmers with skills in programming languages such as Java, C, C++, C# and Objective C, scripting languages including Python, PHP, Ruby and JavaScript, and database programming in SQL.

If you want to stay ahead of the pack, though, and be able to take your pick of the plum jobs of the future, then it may be worth looking beyond Java, Python and these other languages.

For most organizations, Java, C++ and C# are just too entrenched to replace, "and there's very few enterprises that want to expand the languages they use too much."

But the signs say a few new languages are catching on. 

Dart: Replacement for JavaScript
Dart is an open source language developed by Google as a replacement for JavaScript. Like other JavaScript replacement languages such as CoffeeScript, it's not hard for JavaScript developers to learn. It's significant because it has been designed to make it easy to build large scale, multi-developer Web apps — something JavaScript itself isn't really suited to.

Right now, Dart applications can run in Chrome's built-in Dart VM or in other browsers through cross compilation to JavaScript.

Why learn Dart? Google's backing ensures that Dart has a good chance of succeeding.

Google takes to the skies with acquisition of drone-maker Titan

Google takes to the skies with acquisition of drone-maker Titan 
Search engine giant Google continued its expansion into emerging sectors of the technology market with the announcement that it will purchase Titan Aerospace, a startup manufacturer of solar-powered drones that have the capacity for years of uninterrupted flight. The move -- which pits Google against Facebook in the quest for a stake in the drone economy -- is part of a pioneering effort to use unmanned aircraft to beam wireless Internet to underserved areas and is also expected to boost the mapping capabilities of Google's Maps division, Nick Statt writes
