Geoffrey Wiseman adds to his documentation of DemoCamp Toronto # 24 with videos of James Standen, Datamartist and Oshoma Momoh, 5 Blocks Out.
James Standen – Datamartist
Datamartist is a piece of Windows software designed to enabled the extraction, transformation and and load (ETL) of data from SQL databases, Access databases, Excel files, and other sources. The goal is to help IT analysts and developers in small and medium sized businesses or departments in larger organizations to access and manipulate data needed to inform their organizations. It’s a great piece of desktop software that is for sale (imagine that!). The best part, James Standen informed me a few days before the demo he was concerned because he was still working on getting the code to work. I love demos of functioning code.
Oshoma Momoh – 5 Blocks Out
Osh and Katrin presented their local community built around enabling neighbourhoods, 5 Blocks Out. The tool is built around helping communities share, discover and engage with their community. It is about those things that make your city great. The schools, the daycares, the restaurants, the spots, the excursions, the places off the beaten path that make a city a great place to live. You should check out 5 Blocks Out.
Geoffrey thanks for capturing the video. Make sure you check out Geoffrey’s Toronto Tech Jobs blog where he examines and breaks down the technology job postings. Whether you agree with it or not, it’s a great way to start to critically think about employers (and their HR departments).
