InfoQ has this week published its 1000th news post; since the site launched just 8 months ago it has also published 90 in-depth technical articles, 4 original books, and a number of video interviews and presentations.  InfoQ's mission is to provide our readers with an educational place to track change and innovation in enterprise software development, and to contribute to the communities we are serving.  InfoQ has been creating a tremendous amount of new value for the enterprise software community with all of this content, and indeed the site readership has been growing steadily month on month with 90,000 unique visitors in January.  

However due to our newness, a lot of people still have not heard of the site.  If you like InfoQ, let your friends know about it. :)  For a summary of some of our best content, see our 2006 top news and content summary.

Thank you to all our readers for their support and to the editors for all the hard work! Thanks also to our founding sponsors Compuware, Symantec, Terracotta, BEA, Cassatt, Oracle and IBM DeveloperWorks.  

We hope to see you at the QCon conference in London next month.

    Thank you all for a place that I can trust it will deliver to me the most important news, interviews and presentations. And for being a place where I will not be annoyed by useless announcements, commercials and interminable pointless comments.
    We all know that place.
    Dis I forget to mention the quality of the materials?

    Video Tutorials and free books

    Feb 18, 2007 5:40 AM by Sandeep Khurana

    The most interesting feature of this site has been the video tutorials/info and distribution of ebooks (free).
    The only minus point is, as i want to see just java and SOA news, unclicking others does not work in office .
    Otherwise UI look and feel is great and refreshing..

    Thanks for your great work! Infoq is now for me the most valuable source of informations. When I remember my last year "ah ah" moments, what comes to my mind at first place is the conferences of Joshua Bloch and Martin Folwer you provided.

Agile – A Way of Life and Pragmatic Use of Authority

Using ITIL V3 as a Foundation for SOA Governance

Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.

SOA as an Architectural Pattern: Best Practices in Software Architecture

For Grady Booch the foundation of a good architecture is patterns, SOA being just one of many patterns. In this Second Life presentation, Booch attempts to bring more clarity on what architecture is.
