Or actually: office. The past 5 years we’ve been building the foundations for Future500. Growing and expanding, but all from our own attic, and in the beginning even our kitchen table.
We switched the kitchen table for real desks and now we switched the attic for a real office.
Our visiting address as of today is:
Goudstraat 99a
2718 RD Zoetermeer
The Netherlands
You are welcome to come and take a look.
Kind regards,
Elena Kok
I recently blogged that Magento was not all that great; and that once the honeymoon is over and the beergoggles are put down, the world will see it more like it is than what we want it to be. It is my honest opinion that we will see the same pains as with osCommerce and most other open source projects allowing plugins: some plugins won’t work well with others – some plugins will break with different updates of Magento and sometimes – like in this case – Magento will break itsself.
Update: The problem described in the article was probably limited to Cardgate and Paypal, and was resolved with help on the forum by a member of the Magento team: Anton Makarenko
Once upon a time I stumbled across Ruby on Rails, a MVC framework on top of the programming language Ruby. Through RoR I became familiar with the MVC-pattern, ActiveRecord-pattern, and soon lots an lots of other patterns. About 4 months ago I came in contact with Zend Framework, which also follows the MVC-pattern.
Working for a company in the past I was always bitching about how diploma’s and certification don’t say a whole lot about a person’s capabilities. Of course I HAD to say that, since I dropped out of school and never actually finished my education.. but still. I’d seen too many so-called high level guys paraded in as the next salvation to a project, when all they would know how to do was repeat the tricks they had learned without actually understanding the reasoning behind it. “Why don’t we add another layer of abstraction…” Uhuh. I have always found that encountering a problem creates the mental space needed for understanding the solution.
Of course the title of this article was chosen to shock the believers. But I think we are at a point in time comparable to when the only car on the market was a Ford Model-T. You could complain that it sucked, but pretty much the only alternative was a horse and carriage, and you didn’t have to scoop any steaming piles if you went with the automobile.
May the best of your past be the worst of your future!
Since we’ve added Jasper to the crew the need to share and discuss the problems we encounter (and ofcorse the solutions we provide) has grown and so we decided to switch to a Wordpress website.
The subjects we will be visiting are related to PHP, jQuery, MySQL, Zend Framework, Magento.. occasionally Joomla and Drupal.. Book reviews, Code and Project management in general. Soon we hope to get into Ruby on Rails a bit, perhaps Zend Server. I’ll let you know at the end of the year where we have ended up…
We hope you like it!
