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!

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.

Architecture Kata is back!

On 25th of June, Impact Hub will host the 6th Architecture Kata from Prague Software Craftsmanship group.

As usual, Vistaprint Prague is the sponsor to the event.

Architecture Katas are intended as a small-group software architecture exercise. The attendees of the event form small groups of 3-5 people and work on the same problem. At the end, each group presents the architecture they came up with.

Networking, pizza and beers follow the competitive part.

Machine learning is a hot topic at Vistaprint Prague Development Center.

We utilize it in many systems, including site recommendations.

In Prague we have a #machinelearning group and our engineers meet regularly to train themselves and hold discussions.

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.

Knights, arrows, swords: DevFest 2018

Vistaprint Prague was one of the sponsors of #DevFest2018 Prague. This year's theme was medieval ages and the participants had to finish 8 medieval quests by different IT companies to win the big prize.

Vistaprint had one of the most popular quests with an archery range. We had a chance to meet a lot of like-minded people and listen to talks from great speakers.

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)

When you’re racing, it’s life. Anything that happens before or after, it’s just waiting (Steve McQueen in Le Mans)

Demo Day in our Waltham office

Some of our colleagues in Prague were in our Waltham office this week. They had a chance to attend Demo Day.

The purpose of Waltham Demo Day was to give team members visibility into how we are progressing against our goals, celebrating successes and learnings to date. Teams from different value streams shared hands-on presentations and demos throughout the course of the day.

The day ended with a Holiday Fair, where developers had a chance to directly interact with our customers, small business owners.
