At the workshop, Mr Huynh Van Tung presented useful information about the newest cloud technology, IBM BlueMix, to the students. IBM BlueMix is a new cloud-based platform of open standard which can be used for quick development, management, and running of all kinds of applications, from web, mobile, and big data, to smart devices. With the hardware, operating system, and software provided by the IBM BlueMix cloud computing platform, users only need a computer with internet connection, and skill and creativity, to develop many apps, implement them, and even conduct business-so-called “born-in-the-cloud business”.
At the workshop, DTU students not only had the opportunity to learn about and experience one of the most advanced and newest technologies of IBM, but they could also register for the “Mobile app development on BlueMix” contest, which will be kicked off in November 2014. Mr Huynh Van Tung emphasized:
"We hope that, through today’s workshop and through the comingIBM BlueMix contest, we can help you, tech-loving youths, to develop your capacities and creativity and to open up new directions for starting new businesses. The Mobile app development on BlueMix contest is also a good opportunity for you to exchange ideas, to learn, to express your technological ideas useful for life and society, and to bring home some big awards of global value."
