On the 12th of May 2014, Today Software Magazine – founded and ran by mr. Ovidiu Mățan – has invited Codespring to the launch of its 23rd printed and online edition. The event is part of an already traditional series aiming at strengthening the IT community from Cluj-Napoca. This time the official host was SmallFootprint Cluj-Napoca headquarters, where editors, contributors and audience reunited for sharing ideas and presenting the main topics covered by this number of Today Software Magazine.

Our contribution to this number is an article about social media and the impact on big data management. Written by Diana Ciorba the article called “Big Data and Social Media: The Big Shift” is available both in Romanian (http://www.todaysoftmag.ro/article/ro/23/Big_Data_%C5%9Fi_Social_Media:_marea_schimbare_879) and English (http://www.todaysoftmag.com/article/en/23/Big_Data_and_Social_Media:_The_Big_Shift_904).

Today Software Magazine provides space for sharing professional knowledge, discussing programming topics and learning about management techniques in software companies. It also tries to highlight the latest technology trends and innovations.

As mr. Ovidiu Mățan states in the foreword, “Number 23 of Today Software Magazine has Social Media as main theme”. From this perspective mr. Mățan invites us to read “Data Modelling in The Big Data Context” and our featured article “Big Data And Social Media: The Big Shift” with a few statistics about the phenomenon.

Among the technical articles the editor mentions “ Java 8: Lamda expressions and not only” with the lastest news in Java programming language, “Qt: How I fell in Love with C++”, “Beyond API” and many others that worth reading and learning from them.

You may also read the entire edition of Today Software Magazine in English.

On the occasion we thank you TSM for the opportunity and hope to be able to contribute with more interesting topics for the future.
