Lisp (or LISP – LISt Processing Language) is a family of programming languages with a distinctive, parenthesized syntax. It has very old history (was specified in 1958 year, only Fortran is older). Nevertheless programmers use it even nowadays!
Of course, Lisp has undergone a great changes since its appearance, it originated some dialects (today the most popular of them are Common Lisp and Scheme).
The Lisp-code is written as s-expressions (parenthesized lists), the operator’s name or function goes first, and then we use arguments. But it’s better to see it all in practice. Especially in this unrealistic performance that was possible with the help of LISP and OpenGL (enjoy the internet-video).
Be patient and you will see something impressive, it will start somewhere after the 5th minute. This real work of art was created by the winner of international awards, programmer Ivan Lyambdin:

There were many predictions concerning IT in the network before the advent of 2009. First of all specialists expected to be surprised by the head of Apple, Steve Jobs.
Based on analysts’ predictions in 2009, Apple will please us with the following products:
- A simplified version of iPhone. It’s interesting to see what will be the segmentation of products in this niche from Apple, it already has iPhone and iPod touch, and those both are competing with each other;
- Cheaper MacBook (it doesn’t have a Netbook yet);
- Predictors are expecting a Netbook from Apple. It should be similar to the iPhone with 8-inch screen and keyboard, valued at about $ 900. It‘s expected that the new device will provide access to the Internet, email, media functions, as well as support services and the iTunes App Store;
- The new iPod Shuffle, which will be more compact than the existing device;
- In autumn a new MID from Apple will be presented, which will have a screen size of 7 or 9 inches and will be suitable for viewing media content, web-surfing and using applications from AppStore;
- Perhaps a major upgrade of Apple TV, at least, making this device as a video recorder. Apple is still looking for an opportunity to move the Apple TV from the «hobby» status into something much larger;
- Further development of Mac mini. This product is already beginning to forget. But Apple could start new life into the mini, releasing an improved version that would work with the new Cinema Display, and would allow you to extend the functionality. This could be a very attractive option for people who want something more than the iMac, but less than the Mac Pro;
- Further development of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). But Apple itself has recognized that this update will not contain any major new user features. Particular attention will be given to the changes in the internal architecture of the OS.
A webinar (online seminar) is a special type of Web conferencing. In most cases a webinar implies broadcast presentations to a large number of subscribers. Communications are usually one-sided - by the speaker and the interaction with the audience is limited. In some cases, a speaker can answer questions via phone or chat, which ensures full interaction between the audience and the moderator.
The advantage of webinars is saving time: the speaker and the participants do not need to spend time on getting to the venue. They can participate in webinars without leaving their working places. All materials are distributed to the participants in the electronic form. In addition, the organizers will provide participants with archival recording after the webinar is finished.
On the Internet you can find a lot of training webinars on various topics: marketing, SEO, programming.
It is evident the online interaction is useful not only for learning. Initially, this technology was used for meetings and negotiations, when parties have great distance between each other. Many of the world’s largest companies are already using webinars to work with students. They show prospective employees the latest technology in dealing with potential staff members and the staff of this company. In this case webinars are used more for recruiting than for training and development. In addition it’s a way for company’s advancement and communicating with clients. Webinars are more a marketing tool for companies rather than a tool for learning.

So, the best way – is to start from IPTV definition:
IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) is a system where a television is transmitted using Internet Protocol all over network infrastructure. A general definition of IPTV is television content that, instead of being delivered through traditional radio and cable formats, is received by the viewer through the technologies used for computer networks.
So in few words – IPTV is a new generation of Television.
The main merit of IPTV – is interaction of video services and availability of wide range of additional services, such as Video on Demand (VoD), TVoIP, Time Shifted TV, Network Personal Video Recorder, Electronic Program Guide (EPG), Near Video on Demand. Besides, IPTV include a package of additional services. They are: Video Telephony, Voting, Information Portals, Web, Games, MOD KOD.
A little from History of IPTV:
In 1994, ABC’s World News Now was the first television show to be broadcast over the Internet, using the CU-SeeMe videoconferencing software.
The term IPTV first appeared in 1995 with the founding of Precept Software by Judith Estrin and Bill Carrico. Precept designed and built an internet video product named “IP/TV”. IP/TV was an MBONE compatible Windows and Unix based application that moved single and multi-source audio/video traffic, ranging from low to DVD quality, using both unicast and IP multicast RTP/RTCP.
In 2006, AT&T launched its U-Verse IPTV service, comprising a national head end and regional video-serving offices. AT&T offered over 300 channels in 11 cities with more to be added in 2007 and beyond. While using IP protocols, AT&T has built a private IP network exclusively for video transport.
Today almost all plots of land penetrate IPTV. Streaming video software today more and more become part of everyday’s life.
The information technology industry today is an integral part of every sphere in the world. Belarus, Russia, Ukraine also did not become exception here. Over the past few years, many international and domestic companies came to the IT market. The high growth of this segment has led in turn to the competitive job market. It is therefore not surprising that for several years we have shortages of qualified personnel and wage growth. The most popular professionals of the sector – are middle-level managers, system administrators, Java, PHP,.Net programmers, Computer Systems engineers, testers, webmasters, a systems integrators. However, you can take that level of salary of IT-specialists reached its maximum, or close to it.
An additional factor there is a global financial crisis that has affected the major players in the IT market. However, we are not expecting major losses, mass layoffs or budget cuts in IT in the near future.
The reason - it is the role of IT-industry business and the specifics of the work. First, many IT-projects are long-term and budgets for companies implementing information technology products are approved in advance, so IT-companies have orders and projects for the same period. Secondly, IT specialisation (like development of Internet TV software solutions) increases the efficiency of the company, which is an essential factor in the crisis.
