Verb Days 3 got us so hooked that we’re already missing it! The 6 teams turned the office space into the perfect collaboration environment and filled the air with their creative vibes. Jokes echoed throughout the day. There were moments of panic when an app wouldn’t work, but also ‘Eureka’ moments when obstacles were defeated. In the end, we had lots of fun and some cool ideas with big potential!
Here’s what they came up with.
The Apps Team is growing! We are on the look-out for talented software developers with a passion for research and automation testing to join our team in Bucharest.
Many people associate the software testing process with the image of a robot clicking on different links in an attempt to spot issues. Can’t really blame them, as in some cases this is quite necessary. Still, generally speaking, software testing is anything but trivial. As a matter of fact, software testing is software development, with the difference that the output is a software product that tests another software product. On many occasions, developing such a product turns out to be more creative than developing the software that has to be tested.
People want and need more and more Apps, and we have to keep up with them. VoipNow users request numerous Apps from us and, as our products are constantly evolving, this trend will certainly go on for a long time. Our Apps Team needs to deal with all these demands at a fast pace. Furthermore, the JavaScript framework at the core of all Apps must be continuously improved and extended with new mechanisms and features.
We can’t kick off the weekend without a brain twister, can we? 😀 Here’s our third problem to keep you company by Tuesday, April 16th, 10:00 AM GMT! That’s the deadline to submit your awesome solutions. Do not forget about the rules and submit your results here.
Undoubtedly, you are familiar with cloud storage. Still, have you ever wondered how they are designed? To find out, you need to address some of the problems that are most frequently encountered while such a model is being shaped.
Spring’s here, and so is our second problem! Time to enjoy nature, play treasure hunt, and write an App about it. Or vice versa. 🙂
Either way, do not forget about the rules. The deadline to submit your solutions is Tuesday, April 9nd, 10:00 AM GMT. Results must be submitted here.
Johnny is out on a trip together with his friends. They want to have some fun by putting their smartphones to the test. Johnny is the tech oriented kind of person, so he is thinking of writing a phone App for him and his friends to play outdoors.
In one of our previous articles, we provided a short intro on 4PSA’s internal organization. Today, you can have a closer look at the Apps Team.
We are a bunch of passionate young developers who like taking up new challenges. Ranging from interns to seniors, from designers to coders, from cheerful to introspective, and from inquisitive to amenable, there is one thing we all have in common: we want to build great Apps.
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.
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.
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.
