The next Turing to solve the enigma!

Update Conference, which is one of the biggest .NET conferences in Europe, is currently taking place at the Clarion Congress Hotel in Prague.

The event hosts 47 conferences, workshops, Ask-The-Experts sessions, great food, Czech beer and lots of networking opportunities.

Vistaprint is one of the partners of the event. This year, we brought to our booth 6 Hanayama puzzles and obviously it was a lot of fun for the attendees. The most difficult puzzle, called Enigma, had a big prize on it but as of 2nd day no one could solve it yet (without the help of #youtube). Regarding the conferences, here are some of the favorite picks from our developers:

A lap around Azure Machine Learning services (Peter Drougge)

Internals of Exceptions (Adam Furmanek)

Correcting Common Mistakes in Asynchronous .NET Code (Brandon Minnick)

Mapping DDD Domain Models with EF Core 2.1 (Julie Lerman)

The Warhol squad is working on Identity Service, a #microservice for authentication and authorization.

In our transition to a microservice based architecture, Identity Service is an important milestone.

Some members of the squad recently visited our Waltham office in US to discuss their architectural decisions and present the #zerodowntime infrastructure they built.

How to connect N e-commerce sites to M accounting applications?

How to handle authorization?

How to come up with an #architecture in which the system can successfully be restored from a backup?
Latency? Cost? How about a #serverless solution on #aws?

All these questions and more were the topics discussed in the architectural kata event organized by Prague Software Craftsmanship #meetup group.

Vistaprint Prague was the main sponsor of the event. The winning team went back home with great prizes.

Do Prace Na Kole

During the month of May several members of the Prague Vistaprint office took part in “Do Prace Na Kole” - a cycle to work scheme.

This is a nationwide challenge that encourages people to cycle or run to work. People can compete with others from across the Czech Republic either as an individual or as a part of a team in categories such as frequency of travel by bike/foot, total distance covered, longest commute and others.

Boston, New York, Prague

The Pulsar Squad in Prague recently started working on personalized recommendations that are displayed on Vistaprint web site. Up until now, this domain was owned by squads in our Waltham (Boston) office.

When they started working on the project, they scheduled meetings with the stakeholders and the developers who are familiar with the domain. They wanted to find the best way to have the knowledge transfer and start to build a roadmap.

After a couple of brainstorming sessions, it was clear that a visit to Waltham office would be the best step to take. This way they could meet all stakeholders face-to-face, schedule #mobprogramming sessions with the developers in the US and visit the famous #SamuelAdams brewery in Boston 😊

Welcome 2019

Did you know that, the original Blade Runner movie predicted what life would be like on Earth in 2019?

According to it, we should have replicants (robots who look like humans) and travel in flying cars. 🚀

Although we don’t fly to work yet, 2018 was an immensely successful year for Vistaprint Prague Technology Center.

In 2018 we sponsored 8 events, reaching over 500 developers in Prague. Our office is now home to 7 development teams, working on a variety of projects ranging from recommendations on our site to security and authorization.

We wish everyone a happy new year!

Jiri Adamek, one of our engineers, was the speaker of the #bigdata meet up organized by Prague Software Craftsmanship.

He gave an overview of the existing technologies on the market and demonstrated how using a few different data sets could help the police catch a hotel room #thief.

The event had the right mix of people interested in the topic. One #datascientist working in finance; one great #python guy, in town for the #pycon conference, and a #techblogger
