In the upcoming weeks some of the Evojam crew members will appear live on stage. Here's a brief summary - reach out if you plan to be there as well and want to meet face to face. All of those events are in Warsaw.
Having had a remote look at Berlin API Days through my 5 colleagues from Evojam that went to the conference and through social media lens I've gathered the following bird's eye view of the API ecosystem landscape.
In social media information flows across various kinds of graphs: social, interest, taste, etc. Apps and devices on the other hand use API to connect to each other. This is the social network of the technology.
We’ve launched our new website a few weeks ago. It represents what we stand for today and is the result of the journey we went through over the past 2 years. Read a short FAQ about what's changed.
Evojam backend crew of five is about to hit the road to Kraków for the 2015 Lambda Days. A functional programming conference, that we officially support. This field of programming is red-hot and tickets for the event sold-out, so our expectations are high... :)
Our brave team of 5 Evojamers participated in the Startup Weekend Warsaw edition three weeks ago. The project we've taken for a spin was EngagingLive aka SalesBooster.

Let's say that prior to mobile explosion you've had a popular site. It is very probable that there was only "the site". So you've had one rendering engine - the web view - one way to retrieve and save data to the database. Along came mobile with the need for native apps - iOS & Android - as well as the old page's younger brother - the mobile website.
Once again programming seems to be the vanguard of modern work. It's becoming easier and more pleasant with each passing year, month and even a week. I've noticed that after I returned to coding after a few years break.
Why would you hire best people and later manage them? Think about it - when you hire a clever, fast-learning, creative and mature person, it's plain stupid to then define their work in detail and measure it by millisecond. You're not only wasting your time. You also waste their potential!
