Imagistic launched a site for Ready2Thrive, part of Public-Private Ventures. According to P/PV, Ready2Thrive serves marginalized men of color often operate in isolation, and without the support and peer interaction that could help them to better serve their participants. Often, these providers work across multiple issue areas, touching fields as diverse as education and youth development, fatherhood, employment, violence reduction, criminal justice, health and civic engagement. To answer these challenges, Imagistic built an online hub where practitioners can connect with each other and access academic research and policy updates related to marginalized males of color. The site features a directory of research reports, articles, implementation manuals, guides and curricula, as well as a blog that provides a forum for practitioners to share their successes and challenges and for policymakers and academics to present their latest findings in a way that is meaningful and accessible to the practitioner community. The site also offers a practitioner member directory that can be searched by state and by specialty/expertise and will provide small faith- and community-based organizations a voice through "spotlights" that highlight their work. The contemporary, compelling looking site was built on a Drupal CMS.

Imagistic launched a site for Public Private Ventures as part of the Benchmarking Project. According to P/PV, the Benchmarking Project provides tools for workforce development programs to evaluate and improve their results. Its web-based survey and confidential reports allow organizations to compare their job placement and retention outcomes with those of similar programs. To date, almost 300 programs across the country have submitted aggregate data on participants, services and outcomes. The data collected is creating meaningful outcome benchmarks for the workforce development field, so that practitioners, funders and policymakers can be better informed about what constitutes "good" performance when working with diverse populations and service delivery strategies. The site was built on a Drupal CMS integrated with a WordPress site for ease of content management. Member features include reports access and account administration, along with exclusive access to content and forums.

After 13 years of offering business technology planning services for many of our clients, Imagistic has now created a new division to focus efforts on this core offering and expand its reach to a wider audience.

Imagistic’s Business Technology Plan offers a unified assessment for any technology initiative. It details the nexus between your critical business objectives and the primary factors your organization needs to consider when undertaking a technology project.

Imagistic’s Business Technology Plan (BTP) is based on the principle that by discovering and then resolving your top planning problems, issues related to cost, scope, and time will be identified and much more easily eliminated.

The BTP is a structured document that enables you to break down your project into an assessment of technology needs, set against an objective and rational view of your business and organizational principles. This technorational view of your project within your organization is imperative.

There was a time when business and technology were separate; an organization’s IT department served the business, but in an ancillary way. Now, technology is thoroughly and deeply integrated into the fabric of today’s successful businesses. Generating a BTP will not only help to ensure that your project will be well-conceived in its features and form, but it will be well-supported by business cases and logic.

Kevin Howard Goldberg will be teaching "Intro to Programming Concepts" through eClasses.org, starting on September 13, 2010.

This is a course for students who wish to learn the basics of computer programming; no prior programming experience is required.

The course will introduce basic programming terminology, concepts, and best practices. Students will learn to write programs using such constructs as loops, statements, variables, and functions. Good programming habits will be covered, as well as program design, flow charting and architecture, and debugging techniques.

The class examples and assignments will use JavaScript, as it requires nothing more than a text editor and browser to execute; however, the focus of the class will be on learning the syntax and logic of programming, and not on writing browser-centric JavaScript. Consequently, the principles learned in this course will be easily applied to any programming language, whether it is a compiled language like C, or an interpreted language like PHP.

XML Visual QuickStart Guide by Kevin Howard Goldberg has been named #2 of the Best XML Books by About.com's Web Design/HTML guide, Jennifer Kyrnin.

Here is an excerpt of her review:

If you're looking for a good introduction to XML, this is a great book. It provides all a beginner needs to start understanding XML without getting overwhelmed. You should have some understanding of HTML coding practices before you start reading this book, but even if all you've ever used is a WYSIWYG editor you'll get something out of it.
