Exchanging Data 101 -- Email, FTP, SFTP, DropBox, Box, S3 and More!
Jim and Alan discuss the history and details of exchanging data between companies and applications. \xa0Email might be the easiest and quickest technique, but find out what it's not very secure or reliable. \xa0Learn about the differences between FTP (not very secure) and SFTP (pretty darn secure) and whether DropBox, Box or Amazon's S3 is a reasonable option. \xa0 Finally, we end up chatting about Web Services as the modern developer's tool for exchanging data securely, reliably and in Goldilocks sizes (hint: Just Right). \xa0Shout outs to Dropbox, Box, Amazon and HighJump. \xa0Plus Jim goes one for three in Alan's movie quiz.
