Theme of Amazon.com


I was lucky enough to attain the Microsoft Experiemental Platform, which was hosted by some great people those have worked for Amazon, the world's biggest online shopping center and now part of the world's biggest company i.e. Microsoft. They shared some great ideas about experimenting new ideas to improve the user experience and ultimately the user engagement on a site. You know..the cool thing about the experiment is to do many mistakes in a faster way so that we increase the probability of success. Yeah...its little abstract but if you recall your schooling time, when our teacher used to say us 'Boy, how will you learn if you don't make mistakes'..Yes its the same. Most of the processes/best practices we follow in IT are nothing but the moral our teachers have tought us in school. Time for us to experiemnt the same; it could be the LEAN(Toyota Way) or Experimental Platform in more technical way.
