Several days ago at WHD.global 2013, I gave a presentation on BYOD and I think it is worth sharing it with those of you who did not attend.
What the heck is BYOD, you might ask yourselves. 😀 Before anything else, it’s a pretty complicated name for a process that is quite simple. BOYD allows employees to use their own devices for business purposes.
This article has been in draft for quite some time, and since one strike plus one storm led to a change in a flight schedule… what better moment for completing it? 😉
A few years ago, many developers somehow reached the conclusion that SQL databases are bad and the right solution would be no SQL databases. All this madness started when developers behind several highly popular services discovered that MySQL was not as scalable as they had hoped for.
We hope you enjoyed this Saturday’s StagiiPeBune event and our Bike into the Cloud contest as much as we did.
As promised, here are the first three time results. The girls competitors obtained a best time of 00:59:30.
It’s time to meet the 4PSA teams. Well, not everyone, just some members that will socialize at the StagiiPeBune event that will take place on Saturday, March 16th, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Politechnica University of Bucharest in Faculty for Automatics and Computers hall.
We prepared for you some virtual reality training and of course, nice prizes for the brave ones that take on the challenge to bike into the cloud.
As we have mentioned in a previous post, among many other important things, the Apps Team builds specialized Apps for end-users.
An App must be able to run on various devices like smartphones, tablets and desktops and offer an outstanding user experience on any of these devices. We have an interesting approach – we build an App once and we are able to deploy it anywhere. Apps are written in JavaScript and they use a specialized stack framework.
The March day was slowly unfolding over the garden. The air was fresh and cheerful birds were singing up in the trees. Flowers of all colors turn their heads towards the sun to catch the warm spring rays.
If only words could let you feel the amazing fragrances everywhere…
There is almost nothing more hip than Apps these days. Just read there’s an App to turn your Harlem Shake videos into guaranteed success 🙂
JavaScript App development, less visible to the end-user, is very much aided by something developers call Containers. The Container component arranges its items in a special layout.
Software users get critical when confronted with an issue. There is also a good chance they will tell their friends they hate your software.
If you are a technical writer, the time when a customer can’t make head or tail of what you wrote is the best time to receive feedback. A technical writer’s challenge is to deliver the right information at the right time, without adding frustration.
Defining a baseline is one of the best things you can do if you want to deliver things fast. It sounds like a pretty simple concept, but the truth is that many software engineers do not understand that there should be a baseline in everything.
I personally try to find and impose baselines in everything I do, as this helps me improve work products. This happens in a pretty simple way – the baseline “forces” me keep track of modifications I make and at the same time it makes me more responsible about them. Let’s review some use cases.
In a previous article we detailed on the team called Team Support. This is basically the team that provides the other 4PSA teams with input and resources so that they can work more efficiently.
Our latest opening in the Team Support (Bucharest, Romania) is quite an interesting one – Senior Security Engineer. What is this position doing in Team Support, you might ask… Two reasons: the person filling this position is going to report directly to upper management and in order to be efficient she/he should not be “corrupted” by a product team.
