A few weeks back I've created a survey for developers. The idea was to test my 7 dev types and potentially uncover something new.

I had the opportunity to give the presentation Seven Personality Types of Software Developer twice so far. The presentation is based on my previous post. First of all, the session was surprisingly very interesting for developers. Despite its soft nature, I have received a lot of feedback from the audience during and after the session. The whole idea of categorizing developers by their personality type seems to be hot.

Today I wanted to touch the subject of programming schools.

There are plenty of books about motivation. How to motivate yourself and others. We give ourselves something we like after finishing a difficult task. It can be a chocolate bar or an hour of video gaming. We try to motivate out employees with many benefits: free healthcare, informal Fridays, pizza days, in-house conferences etc. At the beginning it works quite fine, but as we go the effects are weaker and weaker.

Last Saturday I've attended Boiling Frogs conference in Wroclaw.

A while ago I wrote a post about [7 mental types of software developer]. Now it is time to the first adjustment. It turned out that "Code nazi" and "SOLID junkie" are pretty similar. Junkie was merged in to "Code nazi".

As IT community grows every year it is natural that supporting events like conferences, user group or hackathons will appear more often. Developers are attracted by free food and drinks, top speakers or new devices to test.

I'm a big fun of automation. I would even say 'what can be automated, can be forgotten' and you can focus in important things. This post happen to be next in new series called "Automation". The series came out somehow, I didn't plan it. It just seem that there are things I would like to share :)

In every group of individuals, we can recognize a pattern. Observing and grouping people can give us more understanding of how teams are formed, how they work etc...

During my daily work I'm creating an integration system using Microsoft technologies like BizTalk. There is a lot of exciting challenges to meet :) System health monitoring, message archiving and modular structure are just some of them. Apart of that I'm involved in wrocnet.org. Last week our monthly meeting was a part of GeekWeekWro #2 - week of IT events in Wroclaw.

On Wednesday I've attended Warsaw IT Days (Warszawskie Dni Informatyki in polish). This time as a speaker :). It took me one year to jump back on stage :). I was giving a talk called "SOLID for Adults" as a part of DevTalk - Deep Dive track.

TL;DR; Objectivity did excellent work with this event focused on delivering world-class value to programmers. Now, dear reader, read the rest :P

I like to meet people, discuss things related to programming, new technologies, ideas and so on. I was living in several cities and always wanted to stick to people sharing the same interests. After moving to Wrocław a few years ago I immediately joined WrocNET. At the moment I'm one of the organizers and looking forward to the next meeting :)

Communication is a substantial skill for humans. That applies also to software projects.

It's a while since my last post.... :) Perhaps there was nothing worth writing from my side. Now it is.

Yesterday (25.10.2014) I have attended a local NoSQL Hackathon. The event was hosted by PGS Software. It started at 9:00 and took a bit less then 9 hours to program a sample version if a twitter-like website.

Last Saturday I have attended Java related conference - Confitura. My main goal was to see IT world from another site. I think that every developer should concentrate not only on his area of expertise but also stay in touch with overall trends. That's why we have nHibernate or Nancy in .NET world - leader of those projects had to know or heard and the original implementation in other languages. It's like "Think global, act local" statement.

Last Wednesday we had our first meeting in regarding .NET Dev PL website project. It was 1,5 hour Skype discussion. I think it went pretty well. We learned a little bit about other team members. It turned out that some of us are experts in front-end technologies, others in SharePoint or in DevOps. I'm happy that the team is a mix of various point of views.

After a brief description in my previous post why .NET Developers Poland group was created now it is time to share some rules that every group member should respect.

Over the last several years I was observing how software engineering communities evolve and grow around the world. People join communities to be stronger, to share knowledge, to search for solutions to their problems or just for fun. At this point, I missed perhaps 100 other reasons, but there is always a purpose. Often the need is to stick with new technologies and similar people. They need a place for that, a habitat...

Awesome awesome awesome! This phrase describes DevDay 2012 perfectly! Sessions conducted by Scott Hanselman, Greg Young, Sebastien Lambla, Mark Rendle, Martin Mazur, Rob Ashton and Antek Piechnik at this conference were just amazing! Great balance between technical and non-technical information. I have expected some level but seeing (for example) Scott Hanselman sharing his secrets of sharpening the saw was a nice surprise.
