An Alternative Paradigm to OOP?

On September 24th, our friends at #PragueSoftwareCraftsmanship will host a talk on Functional Programming.

For more than 25 years OOP has been considered as the dominant paradigm for describing real world objects and processes. On the other hand Functional Programming was treated as a paradigm for solving scientific and mathematical problems.

In this session, Mikhail Smal is going to explore the weaknesses of OOP and the strengths of FP.

Vistaprint Prague sponsors the event. As always beers and networking will follow.

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.

It's Architectural Kata time!

Vistaprint is a proud sponsor of the architectural kata events organized by Prague Software Craftsmanship community.

This time a real life problem will be presented by a real architect; PSC is partnering with Petr Ferschmann from Dativery to organize the event.

About Architecture Katas

Architectural Katas are intended as a small-group (3-5 people) exercise, usually as part of a larger group (4-10 groups are ideal), each of whom is doing the same kata. A Moderator keeps track of time and acts as the facilitator for the exercise.

Each group is given a project that needs development. The project team meets for a while, discovers requirements that aren't in the original proposal by asking questions of the "customer" (the Moderator), discusses technology options that could work, and sketches out a rough vision of what the solution could look like. Then, after they've discussed for a while, the project team must present their solution to the other project teams in the room, and answer challenges (in the form of hard-but-fair questions) from the other project teams. Once that challenging phase is done, the room votes on their results and the next project team take the floor.

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 😊

Knights, arrows, swords: DevFest 2018
