Healthcare
Definition of healthcare:
Here is wiki definition Health care or healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease, illness, injury, and other physical.......
No where here it talks about insurance but yet we believe that we have healthcare in USA.
Well, here is my 2 cents what we have is insurance for healthcare but not healthcare
Why: because you cannot get treated by a small provider unless you have insurance or you provide your SSN social security to them.
So, lets say you pay for healthcare insurance for 10 years and then you loose work
Next one year you don't pay for insurance so you don't have access to basic doctor or any other medical services........
All these years you were paying for nothing if something happens to you when you don't have the ability to pay for insurance.....

Community colleges
Anyone graduating should experience community colleges in USA.
They provide 60 credits for low cost that can then be transferred to a university to a degree program
Save money
Better education
Small classes
Good instructors
You can think about your career path
If you pick wisely 60 credits are eligible for transfer to a degree program in university
Its fun
More activities
More counselors
Everything about community colleges is fun
Good for continuing learning even after you graduate from university
My own experience with community colleges have been great.

SAAS or Software as a service
So whats software as a service all about
Its when you pay the software fee as a subscription like monthly fee.
Most providers will provide upgrades to you that are included in your subscription.
Sometimes the software is hosted by the provider and you don't have to manage infrastructure to host and deploy it.
There is Co-location services and Platform as a service too where you don't have to implement infrastructure but just lease it from another provider and they manage your infrastructure at the root level. Network, Building, backups, backup power and other infrastructure needs are handled by the provider of these services.
As far as applications you manage the server and applications on them.

Extracting data, business intelligence, datawharehouse vs data analysis
Are all the above terms means the same
Does creating and implementing datawharehouse solutions means the same as
Data analysis?
I think these are different topics
Implementing a datawharehouse is different than providing data analysis.
One is database design and structure
Other is analysis of data to forecast predict a certain outcome.
This is business intelligence or data modeling
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/learning/mcse-sql-business-intelligence.aspx
Statistics, decision making and study of data science is data analysis
Courses in analytics or data science
http://umdearborn.edu/cob/ms-business-analytics/
Or

I call it agile interview or applications of agile in human resources
Recently, I was part of a group interview where some of the candidates that applied to the position were invited at same time and same room.
This article summarizes these interviews.
http://smallbusiness.chron.com/group-interview-work-18599.html
I personally enjoyed the interview and think that it would be great example for implementing agile in HR

Agile development
Agile development: agile development is a project management methodology
It's best suited for small teams
Prefer face to face communications over descriptive documentation
Scrums is one of techniques used and these are standup meetings among team members for 10 or 15 minutes usually before you start your day.
Xtreme programming is pair programming
Code reviews are also part of agile
You create functional software in 2 to 3 weeks time
Rapid application development is another term
User stories usually a specific feature or enhancement that can be described within a simple index card or electronic index card. You try to just mention or capture some basic high level user request.
