Iată mesajul organizatorilor:

This year the vivid colors are trendy. The lines are bold, the fabrics are soft. How do I know all of these? Once a year, all those interested or passionate about fashion turn their eyes towards the well-know fashion cities of the world – Milan, Paris, New York. They all want to know what the new trends in fashion are. Will the retro outfits be again in fashion? Which are the latest shoes models designed? How are we supposed to accessorize them all?
These all seem shallow questions for some. Without any end or meaning, I might say. But, for  professionals, the information obtained during the “Fashion week” is essential. It helps them grow and be efficient. Moreover, the domain itself (the fashion) is in a continuous development. The concepts presented on the catwalk are then transposed into reality, with a significant improvement. Adjustments are not delayed, and after a period of time, we can talk about impressive collections, which would eventually become a delight for everyone.

Actually, after a short analysis, I believe that every domain should have such a “Week” of its own. A large scale event, that would concentrate all the energies and would offer a preview to what is going to happen, is essential. In this way, the specialists set the main trends and offer the guiding lines for the practitioners in the field.
The event in itself does not need a special structure. In order to know were we are heading, we need to have an accurate image of the present. Thus, an important part is to know the existent spearheads. We are interested in finding out which is the one that we can compare or use in our day-to-day work (tool, equipment, methodology, procedure and so on).

And what’s next to follow? It’s almost for granted – the transition from as – is to to – be. We want to see thetrends, to have a short glimpse of the future. The last Smartphone launched on the market is exceptional, but what would be the next model to follow? The current processes described in the PMBOK®are very helpful, but what should I expect in the future – could it be a different approach, maybe?
Actually, this is an important aspect. The events of this scale do not only provide exposure, media coverage and promotion and access to information. They touch and stimulate our need to be creative. We are looking forward for such events in order to find out what currently exists, but we want them especially for the imagination exercises that they entice. We are extremely satisfied to know that the Agile methodology finally brings the simplicity that is so needed in certain projects. But what if we combine Agile with traditional Project Management? Can we use Agile in Program Management? Risk management (already a mature domain) gets new features when we become agile?

We cannot avoid these moments. The brochure of such an event seems to be the perfect trigger. The connections are made fast, the intellect throbs. We wait for the beginning of the conferences and speeches to unleash our imagination. Throughout the whole event, the intellectual barriers are lifted and things, which apparently may belong to science fiction, now become meaningful.
PMdays invites you to train your imagination. With a new format and renowned speakers, this event will not grant you any break for the mind. Throughout the two days of this event, we will go from Agile to Risk Management, Business Creativity and Innovation. In charge with instigating the audience to debate will be Fredrik Härén, Alexandre Cuva, Michel Thiry, Roland Gareis, Peter Taylor and many others. If we add as a special ingredient the 10^th anniversary of PMI Romania Chapter, we have all the premises for a “Week” (of just 2 days) dedicated to Project Management in Romania.

Are we too demanding, maybe? Will PMdays 2012 become the reference we all need for the future? Definitely, we all wish for such a thing to happen. If you allow me an analogy, I wish for PMdays 2012 to become the hot couture event for the Project Management in Romania.

Are we going to be successful in creating such an event? You are all invited to find out together with us!

Titanium Certified Application Developer (TCAD) este o certificare care recunoaşte dezvoltatorii de aplicații care trec cu succes examenul Titanium Certified Application Developer de la Appcelerator.

Cristian este primul dezvoltator care obține această certificare în România

Deși este prima aplicație creată de Infoideea, ea s-a bucurat încă de la început de un succes neașteptat, iar această nominalizare ne dă siguranța că următoarele noastre creații mobile vor fi cel puțin la fel de bune. Suntem încântați că am putut intra din prima în această elită a aplicațiilor, ținând seama că acest domeniu este unul foarte complex, în care lucrurile evoluează de la o secundă la alta.

Îi felicităm pe câștigători și să ne revedem cu bine la anul.

Probabil lipsa problemelor se datorează și faptului că am folosit un framework de dezvoltare bun într-un limbaj de nivel înalt (Javascript), care ne-a ferit de memory leak-uri, null-pointeri și alte asemenea bucurii pe care le ai când programezi în dialecte de C.

Mulțumiri publice deci celor de la Appcelerator care ne-au ajutat să începem și să terminăm, cu tot cu învățare, în câteva săptămâni o aplicație care altfel ne-ar fi luat mult mai mult.

Pentru cei care au iPhone cu iOS 3.1 sau mai recent, aplicația este disponibilă în AppStore. Căutați “Enescu” sau urmați link-ul direct.
