With more and more people getting into the short-term rental business, it’s getting harder and harder to stay ahead and keep those beds full. Keeping occupancy levels high is more than just lowering prices, it’s about creating a sustainable and identifiable brand that stands out from the crowd.

Max Šprung, CEO of Golden Leaf Tours joins us for the 8th SplitBiz.

After running a rental business of his own for a few years, Max encountered similar problems, the market is becoming oversaturated with apartment, holiday homes, studio apartments, villas and so on.

Max decided to take matters into his how hands and started developing a long-term strategy through technology. A brighter, more modern and sophisticated look online was complimented by a wider offer for his tourists through partnership work.

There will be a presentation of the MyBooker software solution that did just that, followed by an informal discussion about future trends and technology associated with property management and running a successful rental business. He will share what worked for him, and you will then have the chance to discuss your rental and how you can develop it further.

The workshop will be in both English and Croatian

HR

Porastom smještajnih objekata za kratkoročno iznajmljivanje u turstičke svrhe, sve je teže pratiti korak i popuniti kapacitete. Održavanje visoke razine popunjenosti je više od pukog snižavanja cijena, radi se o stvaranju održivog i prepoznatljivog branda koji se izdvaja iz mnoštva.

Maksimilijan Šprung, direktor Golden Leaf Tours-a, pridružio nam se na 8. SplitBizu.

Nakon nekoliko godina samostalnog poslovanja, Max se susreo sa sličnim problemima, tržište postaje prezasićeno apartmanima, kućama za odmor, studio apartmanima, vilama…

Max je odlučio uzeti stvari u svoje ruke i počeo razvijati dugoročnu strategiju uz pomoć tehnologije. Svjež, moderniji i sofisticiraniji online izgled upotpunjen je širom ponudom gostima, a ostvaren je kroz partnerski rad na softveru.

Predstavit će se MyBooker softversko rješenje i održati neformalna diskusija o budućim trendovima u tehnologiji u turizmu vezanim uz upravljanje smještajnim objektima i vođenje uspješnog poslovanja. Podijelit će svoja iskustva, a nakon toga imati ćete priliku razgovarati o Vašem smještajnom objektu i kako možete dalje razvijati Vaše poslovanje.

Radionica će biti na engleskom i hrvatskom jeziku.

Organizacija Radionice je sufinancirana u okviru Operativnog programa Konkurentnost i kohezije, iz Europskog fonda za regionalni razvoj.
Sadržaj radionice je odgovornost Golden Leaf Tours d.o.o.

Sljedeći Women in Tech meetup donosi nam jednu jako zanimljivu temu. Predavanje na temu “Osnove SEO optimizacije” održat će Lidija Nikolac Katić, marketing manager iz Megabookera. Meetup će se održati u srijedu, 27.2., od 18 sati, u PICS@FESB.

Lidija je iskusan marketing manager, a posebnih se godina posebno bavi content marketingom. Na predavanju će nam na praktičnim primjerima pokazati kako optimizirati web stranicu i postići veću posjećenost. Kako popraviti svoju poziciju u rezultatima pretrage na Google tražilici, te što je uopće SEO optimizacija i kako funkcioniraju Google algoritmi, samo su neka od pitanja na koja ćemo dobiti odgovor na novom Women in Tech Meetupu.

Ovo predavanje je namijenjeno svima koje zanima SEO, a nikakvo predznanje nije potrebno.

This time we’ll speak about Sentiment Analysis

We’ ll host two community member project presentations dealing with Sentiment Analysis but using different technological and logical approach:

I. Sentiment Analysis using Recurrent Neural Network – Luka Kovačušić
(Angular, Python FLASK, Python TensorFlow library)
II. Sentiment Analysis using Naive Bayes – Alen Bašić
(Angular, NodeJS, Python NL Toolkit)

These projects are the result of co-operation between PMF students and Atos Split which is initiated by ML/AI Split, on what we are very proud of .

What is Sentiment Analysis ?
Sentiment analysis is the automated process of understanding an opinion about a given subject from written or spoken language.

In a world where 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is generated every day, sentiment analysis has become a key tool for making sense of that data. This has allowed companies to get key insights and automate all kind of processes.

But… How does it work?
What are the different approaches? What are its caveats and limitations? How can you use sentiment analysis in your business?

No matter if you are an experienced data scientist, a developer, a marketer, a product analyst, or if you’re just getting started with text analysis, this meetup theme is for you.

We will cover some topics like:

What is Sentiment Analysis?
What Is an Opinion?
Scope
Types of Sentiment Analysis
Why sentiment analysis is important?

How Does Sentiment Analysis Work?
Algorithms
Challenges
How Accurate Is Sentiment Analysis?

Use Cases and Applications
Social Media Monitoring
Brand Monitoring
Customer Feedback
Customer Support

Agenda:

18.00 – 18.30 gathering
18.30 – 18.50 What is Sentiment Analysis – Saša Mladenović
18.50 – 19.15 NLP using Recurrent Neural Network -Luka Kovačušić

Open Source Meetup in Split:

Interested to know what Open Source is and the benefits of using such technologies?

During this event we will cover what Open Source means, why you should contribute to Open Source projects, the tools to get started etc. Kiwi.com is supporting open source communities via Sourcelift, and we will explain what is it and how you can apply as well.

Open Source is not only a great way to code on larger projects with a community of developers, but also it will help you become a better developer, build up a work history on GitHub and connection to the wider community.

Jona Azizaj is an open source enthusiast from Albania. Being part of Open Labs, the first hackerspace that promotes free software in Tirana, she started to contribute to open source. Since then Jona has been part of different communities including Fedora, LibreOffice, Nextcloud etc. Furthermore, she was part of Rails Girls Summer of Code working on Nextcloud and later on she joined Collabora. She loves mentoring people to start contributing in open source, and helping communities to be inclusive and diverse. Currently she is working with local communities in Balkan, to get to know them better and spread the word about FLOSS.

QAva iliti QA kava, više manje mjesečno neformalno okupljanje QAevaca (i prijatelja) uz kavu, pivo, piće. Cilj nam je bolje se upoznati, proćakulati o kojekakvim QA i ne-QA temama, podijeliti iskustva i ideje, te lagano zakuhati teme za naredne QA meetupe.

I ovoga puta okupit ćemo se u Tap B pubu, te podijeliti s vama informacije o nadolazećem meetupu. A veselimo se i čuti kako ste svi, budući je od posljednje QAve prošlo preko nekoliko mjeseci. Zato dođite u što većem broju!

The workshop has the capacity of 15 people max so please enlist via the following form:

The goal of this workshop is to provide a hands-on experience on identifying potential opportunities for AI projects within your organizations and assessing the most appropriate one for the first pilot project. The workshop starts with a basic introduction to data science and AI with the main goal of clarifying often overhyped terminology of the field. We will continue by guiding participants through a structured process in which they will learn how to asses both technical requirements and business impact of an AI project. After the exercise, we will briefly discuss how the first AI project fits into wider AI transformation strategy of your organization.

DAVOR RUNJE:
Davor Runje is a seasoned software engineer, computer scientists and serial entrepreneur. Most recently, he co-founded ZASTI, an Artificial Intelligence startup building a proprietary platform solving problems in multiple domains. Prior to that, he co-founded DRAP in 2008, one of the most awarded digital agencies in Croatia, acquired in 2018 by Imago Ogilvy. Back in 1997, he co-founded PlayMedia Systems, the leading provider of AMP MP3 playback technology on the global market where he invented and lead development of several DRM based and DRM free systems for digital audio distribution based of AMP® MP3 decoding engine for clients including DMX Music, STMicroelectronics and Napster.
As a PhD intern working with Yuri Gurevich at Microsoft Research, he worked on applications of the interactive ASM thesis on multiprocessor/multicore programming. He designed, implemented and transferred technology to a product group of a system for execution of structured concurrency, later named the Task Parallel Library of .NET framework. He received the SSCLI and Phoenix 2005 award by Microsoft Research as one of the best 16 research projects in the international competition. He’s the author of 15 publications in theoretical computer science and one US patent.
He teaches deep learning at the HUB385 Innovation center, he is a lecturer at Data science program at Algebra College and he regularly organizes AI focused meetups and conferences.

Everybody is talking about Artificial Intelligence, but who is actually using it? In fact, many more than you would expect across the board. Although expectations were extraordinarily high, the latest wave of technologies called AI seems to be overdelivering on most fronts. To illustrate the point, we will show a practical example of using deep neural networks in multiple domains, hoping to inspire applications in the financial industry. For start, we will show you how AI can be used to diagnose cancer and predict outcomes of different therapies, but also how it is used to reduce both financial and human cost when testing new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry. We will switch gear by showing how basically the same technology is used for detecting damages on planes, shipping containers and cars and again how it is used by insurance companies to reduce fraud, but more importantly to increase user satisfaction. Finally, we will conclude by showing how the previous techniques could be used in the banking industry. If you’ve ever wondered what drug discovery and cross-selling of financial products have in common, this is a talk you might want to hear.

The tech industry is now over half a century old and we can’t really call ourselves young anymore, especially since the pioneering part is already long forgotten. Software development is entering the stage of a regular traditional job, although previously it was considered the industry for youngsters.

That transition brought a lot of questions that remained unanswered regarding the status of an older developer in a demographically younger environment.

How do older developers fit in with the younger generation? Will they be able to continue developing software until their pension? What are the prospects for older developers? Do they have to start looking out for a job outside the field? Or can they put their grey hairs to their (and the team’s) advantage?

We’ve got Michiel de Wit to answer all of those questions in a single talk. He will show examples of older developers on what they actually did, and how they managed to stay relevant. He will question the traditional Developer – Team lead – Project leader career path and show how Agile actually opens up a whole new set of possibilities.

Michiel is the co-founder of start.me and seasoned developer, Scrum master and Agile Coach. He has got over 20 years of experience in developing products from classic Windows COM+ applications to Ruby on Rails, Prolog and Delphi.

The event is taking place on the 21st of March, we strongly suggest that you confirm your place at Tinel Meetup #22 – you’re in for a treat!

The agenda for the upcoming Tinel Meetup #22 is as follows:
17:30 — 18:00 The gathering
18:00 — 18:15 Opening remarks: Duje Saric (Locastic)
18:15 — 19:30 Michiel de Wit: Grey hairs in IT
19:30 — FreeBeer o’ clock!

Every Tinel is powered by the help of our amazing event partners in the shape of Bokamorra, LAB Split Craft, Biberon Cakes. They will make sure that we are well equipped with craft beer, pizza and cakes.

Marvie Hotel will provide the best possible accommodation for our speaker, Split Tech City will stream the event online, while you can check the latest coverage on Netokracija.

Our SplitBiz speaker is Virginia Schippers, Director of Investor Relations and Impact at CARE-BAMBOO FUND. The fund promotes social and economic inclusion, serving marginalised people– particularly women, in South and South East Asia.

IMPACT INVESTMENT:
The world of business has broadened and so investors had to follow. As businesses started thinking more about sustainability and social responsibility, the social entrepreneurship sector has grown exponentially.

This led to the formation of impact investment, a way in which we as business angels or investors can not only ask for a financial return but also a social one.

Virginia explains exactly how impact investment works and shares her own global experience. Using this as a benchmark, we will then look impact investing in Croatia and how we can help shape its future from Split, especially in the agribusiness sector.

—
The event is free and includes a presentation followed by open discussion.

The meetup will be at the newly opened Fig Split where we will have our own presentation room. They have just started serving dinner on top of their breakfast and lunch menu, so feel free to stick around to taste some delicious dishes.

ML/AI Split #9 : Razvoj inteligentnih funkcionalnosti u Gmailu, Ivo Krka – Google Inc.

Ovaj put predavač je Ivo Krka zaposlenik Google Inc.
Trenutno je Senior Site Reliabilility u YouTube Streaming SRE timu. Ivo je prethodno kao Senior Software Engineer bio član Gmail Intelligence tima gdje je radio na Smart Labels i Smart Reply proizvodima.

Doktorirao je na University of Southern California . Prethodno je diplomirao na FER-u u Zagrebu. Prije Google-a, Krka je bio vanjski suradnik u Quandary Peak Research-u i u Infosys-u.

Glavna stručna interesna područja su mu inženjering programskih zahtjeva, dizajn i održavanje raspodijeljenih programskih arhitektura te primijenjena strojna inteligencija.

Već 20 godina Google je pri čelnoj poziciji u izgradnji inteligentnih i ogromnih sustava sa stotinama milijuna korisnika. U Gmail-u strojna inteligencija pomaže korisnicima smanjiti broj neželjenih poruka, organizirati pretinac e-pošte i odgovoriti na poruke.

U ovom predavanju Ivo će prezentirati kako su razvijene dvije inteligentne funkcionalnosti u Gmail-u: Smart Labels i Smart Reply. Njihov razvoj bit će objašnjen kao putovanje kroz životni ciklus programa.

U slučaju Smart Labelsa, opisat će kako je sve počelo analizom zadovoljstva korisnika i iskustvima s Priority Inbox funkcionalnosti.
Sve se nastavilo razvojem modela različite sofisticiranosti – od “decision tree” modela preko logističke regresije do neuronskih mreža. Dotaknut će se i konačne faze prelaska u fazu održavanja.

Kod Smart Reply funkcionalnosti sve je započelo “moonshot” idejom koja se pokazala teoretski mogućom inicijalnim statističkim modelom. Produkcijska kvaliteta dostigla se LSTM (long short-term memory) modelom uz brojne dodatne optimizacije.
U konačnici je funkcionalnost evoluirala i čak proširena u Smart Compose funkcionalnost.

Agenda:

18.00 – 18.30 okupljanje
18.30 – 19.15 Razvoj inteligentnih funkcionalnosti u Gmailu, Ivo Krka
19.15 – Druženje i networking uz osvježenja

Kao i obično meetup mjesto je PICS@FESB sa sokovima, pivom i pizzama iz Calypsa uz ugodnu i opuštenu atmosferu za vrijeme i nakon meetupa…

Ovaj event organizira ICT županija i ulaz je slobodan za sve zainteresirane, stoga se što prije prijavite za mjesto i povedite također i prijatelje.

Sigurno ste bar jednom dovedeni pred gotov čin: proizvod samo što nije isporučen klijentima, a vi ga prvi put vidite. Uočavate probleme u proizvodu i shvaćate da nema dovoljno vremena da se oni isprave.
Znate da je testiranje trebalo biti uključeno u ranijoj fazi, no ne znate kako dokazati važnost testiranja ostatku organizacije. Postavljate si pitanja poput: “Kako na vrijeme identificirati rizike?”, “Gdje se nalazi testiranje u procesu razvoja proizvoda?” i “Kakav feedback dati razvojnim timovima i na koji način?”. U ovoj prezentaciji, Leda i Irja objasnit će na koji je način Infobip uključio testiranje u srce svog razvojnog procesa i kako tako mali testni tim od 5 ljudi doprinosi ključnim Infobipovim proizvodima.

Vidimo se na šestom Split QA meetupu, 23. travnja (utorak), u 18:00 sati, ponovno na starom mjestu, WIP Co-working prostoru na Žnjanu.

Plan i program:
18:00 – 18:15 okupljanje
18:15 – 18:20 uvodna riječ
18:20 – 19:00 predavanje
od 19:00 neformalno druženje

Više o našim gošćama:

Leda je Testing Force team lead u Infobipu i u posljednjih 6 godina joj je fokus poboljšati testiranje i kvalitetu proizvoda na kojima radi.

Irja se nakon avanture u product managementu vratila korijenima i onome što najviše voli – testiranju, te je sada Quality Control Analyst u Infobipu.

React is a JavaScript library that is relatively easy to learn, easy to understand, and it is well-optimized out-of-the-box. It is almost always capable of getting the job done in a relatively easy, understandable manner – and it’s growing rapidly!

The last time we talked about React was in mid-December with Sara Vieira who hosted a great talk on Tinel Meetup, followed with a full-day workshop.

When we ran the feedback-poll after the event, people said that it could’ve been a bit more advanced – and we listened!

Richard Moss, Senior React Engineer at LeanJS and the organizer of React Academy workshops, is coming to Split to host a talk on React and functional programming.

The event is taking place on the 25th of April, we strongly suggest that you confirm your place at Tinel Meetup #23 – you’re in for a treat!

Hotel Atrium  (Domovinskog rata 49)

U pripremi je niz workshopa, za povratak na konkretne primjene ML-a i pogled kako stvari funkcioniraju na primjerima iz stvarnog svijeta…

Tema ovotjednog je kako pomoću ML-a, analizirati navike kupaca/posjetitelja/korisnika i usmjeravati marketing, odluke ili druge aktivnosti na optimalan način.

Kako to koristiti u vlastitim aplikacijama i kako napraviti vlastiti sustav koji dodaje napredne mogućnosti vašem kodu, koristeći MachineLearning?

Primjeri koje ćemo obraditi su:

1. Kako zadržati zaposlenike? Što ih motivira, koji su faktori koji su najvažniji. Kako reklamirati tvrtku?
2. Imate ideju, kako zaključiti hoće li dobiti financiranje na Kickstartu? Koji projekti prolaze, a koji ne? Kako reklamirati vlastiti proizvod?
3. Imate kupce. Kako ih zadržati ili općenito uočiti kakve su vam šanse na tržištu temeljem dostupnih podataka?

Sve ove use-caseove povezuje koncept Learning Transfer koji kaže kako je moguće učiti na tuđim iskustvima i onda to znanje primijeniti na svoje probleme.

U ovom workshopu ćemo koristiti Orange canvas za analizu podataka i ocjenu valjanosti pojedinog modela predikcije.

Na računalima u PICS-u je već instaliran Orange canvas, a za one koji će koristiti vlastito računalo, ovdje je link za Orange : https://orange.biolab.si/download/ , koji bi trebali instalirati.

Agenda:

18.00 – 18.30 okupljanje
18.30 – 19.15 Workshop
19.15 – Druženje i networking uz osvježenja

Kao i obično meetup mjesto je PICS@FESB sa sokovima, pivom i pizzama iz Calypsa uz ugodnu i opuštenu atmosferu za vrijeme i nakon meetupa…

Bol na Braču i Split

Nakon više od šest mjeseci i dvadeset održanih radionica, serijal tjednih radionica “Uvod u svijet Unreal Engina 4” je prošle srijede konačno završio. Čestitke i hvale svima koji su sudjelovali i naučili nešto novo, a posebno upornima koji su izdržali do kraja.

Ako je nekome žao što je propustio radionice, bez brige jer ono što dolazi u slijedećih nekoliko mjeseci biti će još zanimljivije! Naime, na prijedlog (i oduševljenje) polaznika odluka je pala da nastavljamo s radionicama, ali umjesto da svaka radionica bude tema za sebe svi ćemo raditi na konkretnom projektu – na izradi zajedničke računalne igre.

Tema igre koju ćemo napraviti na nadolazećim radionicama još nije određena, ali smo već čuli nekoliko zanimljivih prijedloga. Konačnu odluku ćemo donijeti zajedno na slijedećem meetup-u.

Ako želite sudjelovati na ovom projektu na bilo koji način, imate ideju za igru, ili samo želite vidjeti iz prve ruke kako izgleda proces izrade računalne igre, dođite u srijedu 26. lipnja u 19h u PICS na FESB-u i opustite se u kreativnoj atmosferi splitske Unreal Engine user grupe.

Vidimo se u srijedu u PICS-u!

——

After more than six months and twenty workshops behind us, the weekly workshop series “Introduction Into the World of Unreal Engine 4” finally ended last Wednesday. Congrats and thanks to all who participated and hopefuly learned something new, especially to the tenacious few who persisted to the very end.

For anyone feeling bad about missing the series, don’t worry because what’s coming next is even better! As suggested by some of our members (to the excitement of all) we made a decision to continue with workshops but instead of each workshop having its own subject we’ll concentrate our effort on a single project – making a community game.

The theme of the game is yet to be decided but we already had some very interesting suggestions. Final decision will be made collectively on our next meetup.

If you would like to participate in this project in any way, if you have a game idea, or you would just like to experience first-hand what the process of making a computer game really looks like, come on Wednesday the 26th of June at 7 PM to PICS at FESB and relax in the creative atmosphere of Split’s Unreal Engine user group.

See you on Wednesday in PICS!

Two years have passed since the Sylius founder Pawel Jedrzejewski presented his talk on Building a business with Open Source, which was a moment that marked the start of a tradition called Tinel Meetup.

Since then, for 24 months in a row, we kept bringing interesting tech figures to talk about a variety of topics – Symfony, React, Angular, Augmented and Virtual Reality, Esports, UX/UI design, Git, Digital Marketing, Quality Assurance, Agile – you name it.

Now it’s time to celebrate and you are invited! The second Tinel birthday is upon us and most of our community still remembers the first birthday party that took place on Locastic’s office rooftops, but this year we decided to tone it down a bit.

Don’t worry, though. We will still have a lot of refreshing craft beer from LAB Split, ten different flavours of Bokamorra’s delicious delicious pizza. Once we’re done with the event agenda, Biberon Cakes will make sure that your sugar level is at its optimal level.

Tone it down means that we decided to go back to our roots and focus on knowledge and cool stories. For the 25th edition of Tinel, we invited four representatives from Split’s finest tech companies to talk about their experiences in the digital world.

The event is taking place on Thursday, 27th of June and the agenda for event agenda is as follows:

19:00 — 19:30 The gathering
19:30 — 20:00 Nebojša Veron (dobartek.hr)
20:00 — 20:30 Tonći Jajić (Typeqast)
20:30 — 20:45 Refreshment break
20:45 — 21:15 Antonio Perić (Locastic)
21:15 — 21:45 Mario Frančešević (SeekandHit)
19:30 — FreeBeer o’ clock!

All talks will be presented in Croatian, while the topic for each one of them will be released in the coming days, so make sure you follow our channels to stay in the loop.

This time presentation is about pose detection and how to implement it in your own AI project using PoseNet and TensorFlow.

Why is this exciting to begin with?

Pose estimation has many uses, from interactive installations that react to the body to augmented reality, animation, fitness uses, and more…

We hope that Lora’s presentation and the accessibility of this model would inspire more local developers and makers to experiment and apply pose detection to their own unique projects.

Digitalni marketing: S ponistre se vidi digital

Ekonomski fakultet (Cvite Fiskovića 5)

Two years of Tinel Meetup are behind us, and we’re ready to enter the third with a bang! Every developer has got product owners, managers and colleagues asking for demanding work. Feature here, bugfix there, just have to do what you’re told basically.

A year ago, we hosted Charlie Owen on Tinel Meetup who talked about the perspective where it’s not all about developers. But what if it is all about you? Are you not the expert here? What if we told you there is another way? You are *THE* person responsible for the project outcome, and you need to take it seriously.

The next speaker at Tinel Meetup is none other than Pim Elshoff, who has been a developer-for-hire for over a decade now. With over half that time spent working with Scrum at Procurios, he managed to enhance his Agile mindset to a whole new level. Technology will always be a passion of his, but with more experience, his focus has shifted towards people. Pim works at Procurios, Dutch-based company that offers various software solutions in the shape of websites, eCommerce shops, e-mail marketing, and CRM.

In his soft-skill talk called “From Conversation to Software”, we’ll take a look at how you can help people solve their problems and grasp their opportunities. We will write user stories that help you understand their problems. We will use story mapping to create meaningful and insightful choices for your clients. Finally, we’ll use release planning to predict and plan, together, where the project will end up. Join us the 26th edition of Tinel Meetup and find out how you can turn the conversation into software.

The agenda for the upcoming Tinel Meetup #26 is as follows:
19:00 — 19:30 The gathering
19:30 — 19:45 Opening remarks
19:45 — 20:30 Pim Elshoff: From conversation to software
20:30 — 20:45 Q&A with Pim
20:45 — FreeBeer o’ clock!

Following the event on Thursday, we even managed to persuade Pim to host a half-day workshop on Saturday. The workshop itself is tailored towards software development teams that can finally get a grasp on Test Driven Development, Domain Driven Design and Teamwork. Head over to the signup page and confirm your spot. http://tinel.locastic.com

That’s it for the education part, but we’ve got quite a lot of cool stuff that will surround the event. During the birthday event, we announced our newest speaker partner ICT Županija who are already delivering in the speakers’ department. Well, they did help us bring Pim, so that kind of speaks for itself.

Last but not least, Tinel is powered by the help of our amazing hospitality partners in the shape of Bokamorra, LAB Split Craft, Biberon Cakes. They will make sure that we are well equipped with craft beer, pizza and cakes.

Na srpanjsko kolovošku QAvu dovodimo i gošću, Marijanu Berket. Ona je još početkom 2016. odlučila prihvatiti poslovnu ponudu koja je uključivala rad za Apple, kao International Software Quality Engineer, ali i preseljenje u Irsku, u kojoj od tada živi.
Od ljeta 2017. radi kao QA u Workdayu, jednom od vodećih providera cloud aplikacija za financije i HR, a koji već godinama visoko kotira i na ljestvicama najboljih kompanija za rad.

Marijana će ovaj put k nama svratiti samo na piće i ćakulu, spremna odgovoriti na sva naša pitanja o tome kako je raditi kao QA za Apple, Workday, kao i o QA sceni i životu u Irskoj. Pripremite pitanja i pridružite nam se u četvrtak, 1. kolovoza, u To Je To!

QAva iliti QA kava, više manje mjesečno neformalno okupljanje QAevaca (i prijatelja) uz kavu, pivo, piće. Cilj nam je bolje se upoznati, proćakulati o kojekakvim QA i ne-QA temama, podijeliti iskustva i ideje, te lagano zakuhati teme za naredne QA meetupe.

Što je bolje od jednog sjajnog predavanja? Pa logično, DVA SJAJNA PREDAVANJA!

Ovo, 37. po redu izdanje Tinela, otvorit će osnivač portala Netokracija, Ivan Brezak Brkan, predavanjem Writing for Developers, u kojem će objasniti kako učinkovito pisanje može pomoći svim dizajnerima i programerima u još kvalitetnijem obavljanju svog posla.

S druge strane, bivši Account Strategist iz tvrtkeGoogle objasnit će zbog čega je odlučio napustiti posao u renomiranoj korporaciji te s kojim se startup izazovima susreo u posljednjih nekoliko godina.

Događaj će se održati ispred splitskog FESB-a, ali i online preko Youtube kanala.

S obzirom na svima nam već dobro poznate okolnosti, ovogodišnje, deveto, izdanje Shift Dev konferencije održat će se u ponešto drugačijem “ruhu”, odnosno bit će kombinacija open air te online koncepta.

Organizatori su pokazali veliku fleksibilnost pri prilagodni na novo IT normalno, pa će tako posjetiteljima na ulazu dijeliti Goodie bagove s maskom i sredstvom za dezinfekciju, a u svakom trenutku će se moći javiti i na “Medical Station.” 

Zanimljivih predača, korisnih tema i dobrih vibracija neće nedostajati ni ove godine!

Zdravko Blagdan je rođen u doba Trumanovih jaja, narastao do neslućenih visina.

Obrazovan u doba bez računala, uspio je uskočiti u jedan od ranih programerskih vlakova u kojem je izdržao čak 4 desetljeća unatoč truckanju po promjenama tehnologija.

Zdravko kaže da mu je ritam programiranja u kostima. U više navrata je bivao izbačen iz vlaka na nekim usputnim stanicama, hrabro se vraćao u njega željan novih izazova.

Iako je već neko vrijeme u mirovini, nije se umirovio već i dalje radi, doduše nešto sporijim tempom od nekadašnjeg.

Na ovom meetupu želi sa publikom podijeliti iskustva sa desetljećima dugog putovanja te kako je od barbe preko čiče i djedice došao, prema njegovim riječima, do statusa fosila.

Događaj će se održati na otvorenome u bašti Udruge Kvart.
