In What makes a Coral8 Expert?, Coral8 CTO Mark Tsimelzon outlines*nearly 60*subject*areas that a customer must master to become a Coral8 expert.*
While this complexity is impressive, it tends to demonstrate why CEP is, today, more hype than reality.
I can hear the team at Techrotech in my mind, “Yea! Greg purchased Coral8 for our CEP solutions yesterday!***Holy*Cow!!*Let’s go out and learn 60 topics in depth so we can become experts in using and deploying Coral8!”
So, let’s say you are intelligent and can master a subject in*a single weeks time (if you have nothing else to do), so you can become a Coral8 expert in only one year if you don’t have a day job!!
I don’t know about you, but Coral8 sounds more like a lab tool for the engineeing department of Caltech or Stanford than a tool for everyday business users, based on Mark’s post, where he concludes:
Not too scary, is it?* - Mark Tsimelzon, President & CTO, Coral8
Hmmmm.** I think I’ll ask the software team at Techrotech*to write some event processing*applications in C since we have a strong*team of C programmers coming off another project next week….
