American Engish Pronunciation: Listen and Repeat Machine (New Content Every Day)

American Engish Pronunciation:

Listen and Repeat Machine (New Content Every Day at 4 pm)

Some of you know lots of English but don't seem to be able to speak it very easily! I'm sure that a few minutes every day with this Listen and Repeat Machine (one of Charles Kelly's treasures on the www.manythings.org site).

Have a good week!

What is CIO? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: Chief Information Officer:

"Chief Information Officer (CIO) is a job title commonly given to the person in an enterprise responsible for the information technology and computer systems that support enterprise goals"


whatis.com and acronymfinder.com are two good sites to use if you're not sure of what an acronym or tech-term really is....

leave a comment and tell us if you think these sites are useful.

SOA, SaaS and SOAP: CIOs drowning in sea of IT acronyms

SOA, SaaS and SOAP: CIOs drowning in sea of IT acronyms: "SOA, SaaS and SOAP: CIOs drowning in sea of IT acronyms"

I thought you might find this interesting... any future CIOs in the group?
james

SOA. SaaS. DPWS. WSD. SOAP. XRBL. Who can keep up with all the IT acronyms out there? Luckily, most technical staff people don't have to. A Web services programmer probably needs to know what DPWS stands for (Devices Profile for Web Services) and what it does, but a network administrator couldn't care less.

CIOs, on the other hand, need to talk intelligently to Web programmers, and network administrators. As a result, many of them are in danger of drowning in acronym soup.
