We’re holding another one of our monthly “Techday” events this week. We organize techdays because we like to stay sharp and have some fun in the process (Check out our previous blog post about why we do techdays).
This month’s techday is on thursday april 26th in our Avisi offices in Arnhem. This time about the Play framework. Want to join the fun?
Last week we held our monthly techday, this time the topic was an introduction to NoSQL databases.
This is the first in a series of summaries of our monthly “Techday” events. We organize them because we like to stay sharp and have fun. Check out our previous blog post about why we do techdays.
The first techday of 2012 was about Mendix. Mendix is both a company and a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool. FraternIT demonstrated how simple it is to create a new application in Mendix. After a short introduction, we got to try it out for ourselves.
Yesterday, march 6th 2012, my colleague Barri Jansen and I attended Valori’s “thema avond” (theme night). The subject for the evening was “New generation software for automated testing”. The event was held at Microsoft headquarters in the Netherlands, which is located almost on top of the runway at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport.
At Avisi, because we like to stay sharp and have fun, we organize what we call ‘techdays’ every month.
The goal is to create a relaxed setting where we can all learn about and/or share new found technologies, techniques or methods. We either have speakers coming in or one of us does the presentation and every member of the team can submit ideas for potential techdays.
The NLAUG Jira Meetup that was held on february 9th in central Amsterdam was (again) a succes! Over 70 people showed up and we got some very interesting presentations about JIRA 5, the new Greenhopper and JIRA as a support system from Atlassians Malik, Chris and Tony. Thanks guys!

Come take part in the Netherland’s Atlassian User Group (NLAUG) meet-up next thursday February the 9th at Cafe Heffer in Amsterdam for a special event all about the anticipated upcoming releases of JIRA 5 and GreenHopper!
