The Codest Core Value #1
The Codest believes in four crucial values that are the core of all actions taken by The Codest teams. In this article, our CEO and co-founder, Greg Polec, explains what...
2019 year was marked by sharing valuable content with you. Note – in this period we have published 177 articles and shared with you. We wrote on various topics. First of all, software development, but there were also topics related to project management, design, technology news and startups.
“Communism has not really ended in Poland! The country is still in the backwater. Nobody knows about Polish developers as their programming skills are probably very low. Software houses hardly grow. And the prices? They are so downgraded that the quality of their services must be at an extremely poor level. In short, give up your thoughts about Poland. It is not trendy.”
“Proptech is a fast and dynamically growing industry that attracts more and more the attention of startups and investors around the world. We could say that it is revolutionizing the real estate market. Proptech offers innovative technological solutions that bring industries to a new and better level while increasing revenues.”
“While Codest is primarily a Ruby shop, one of the many projects we are building is in JavaScript. It is a client-side library, which runs in a pretty challenging environment: it has to support pretty much every browser in existence, including very old ones, and to top it off it interacts with a gaggle of external scripts and services. It is tons of fun.”
“Though in terms of value the tech companies market in Europe is still much behind the one in the US, it is undoubtedly an attractive place for development of new startups. In 2018, we witnessed a record amount of investments in Europe that was up to $23 billions. Does this mean that Europe is chasing the US market?.”
“Have you ever wondered how to prepare a great concept redesign? We can help you with this. In this article, we will give an example of a redesign creating process. We will use our case study from Yellow Pages and present the stages that our UI/UX designers have come through by preparing the redesign of Yellow Pages.”
“Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are the countries, where entrepreneurship is thriving. A lot of sectors are widely developed – including the e-commerce industry. The success of such brands as Taxify or KS Digital can only confirm a really huge potential of this market.”
“It is 2019. Your team increasingly leans towards building single page applications, or at least including rich components within regular multi-page applications. GraphQL is over two years old now, which by JavaScript ecosystem standards could be considered mature. We were feeling a little adventurous, so we forewent the usual JSON APIs and dove right in – here’s what we learned.”
“Everything indicates that we are witnessing a revolution on the startup market in Europe. The dynamically growing market in Berlin is becoming a leader among tech startups. Until now, this title was awarded to London, but currently the capital of Germany is increasingly recognised as the new Europe’s Silicon Valley.”
“If you have ever considered using a software house’s services, you probably wondered what the process of cooperation between your company (customer) and the software house looks like. Most companies from the technology industry use a similar model of cooperation. Most often we talk about custom projects – developing an idea from scratch – or outsourcing.”
