PCS Developers Attend CodeMash Software Development Conference

by

Several Palitto Consulting Services team members attended CodeMash, a software development conference that took place between January 7th and 10th, 2020. Our team members regularly find time to attend events like this to help them learn and improve their skills. At PCS, we believe that continual improvement is the best way to ensure that we meet and exceed the needs of our clients today and tomorrow.

CodeMash

Team members Jay Holliday, Erinn Lynn and Chris Stevens went to CodeMash in early January 2020. This conference is a wide-ranging software development and technology event. It was the perfect gathering for learning about the latest trends and ideas in our field. Our three team members came back with several important takeaways:

  • WEB UI/UX & Frameworks: JavaScript has been dominant in this area for years. However, Blazor, an open-source framework being developed by Microsoft, is a noteworthy new competitor. It allows developers to easily use C# and HTML for web apps.
  • Mobile Development: Unsurprisingly, mobile is still hot on many people’s minds. Cross-compiling for iOS and Android is probably one of the most important current trends.
  • Cloud: Current-day cloud computing is significantly maturing. Whereas previously it was a bit of a novelty, more advanced functionality is moving to the cloud.
  • DevOps: A major focus in this area is on tools that can push out new code “automagically.”
  • Architecture: Two major themes in this area are test-driven development and dependency injection and decoupling.
  • Security: As more and more systems become interconnected, this is only growing in importance.
  • Document DBs: Expect to see more as this type of database grows in importance this year.

Our Dedication to Learning

We are firmly committed to continual learning. It is the most robust way for us to ensure the continued success of our clients. Conferences like CodeMash help us stay ahead of trends.

PCS Programmers Attend 2019 Stir Trek

by

The tech universe is rapidly expanding, and exploring its multiple frontiers is a bold adventure. One event that happens each spring in Columbus, OH, helps intrepid pioneers navigate their way through the vast nebulae of as-yet uncharted territory.

That event is Stir Trek, a fun and informative session-packed workshop topped off with a blockbuster movie. This year, PCS sent Adam Maust and Jay Holliday from the programming team to learn about the latest in development technologies. The pair found themselves immersed in a daylong quest for new knowledge about technology and business, including over 30 sessions each led by a recognized expert in a specific tech field.

Continual Learning Translates to Better Service

Stir Trek is one of the more unique settings for increasing technical knowledge. Held in a modern multiplex movie theater, the organizers arrange in each of the theaters workshop sessions that range from in-depth technical presentations to business soft skill primers. The event amounts to an all-day smorgasbord of the latest information about technology trends and how businesses are capitalizing on the digital revolution. As a bonus for attendees, the day’s climax featured a screening of the first of the summer movies, in this case, Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, on the movie’s opening day.

Some may wonder why PCS is so committed to seeking out new opportunities for our team members to learn new things. The answer is simple: The more we know about the latest trends in technology, the more we can help our clients grow and prosper. We believe if we invest in learning for our team, the result will always be better value for clients using our consulting services.
