Large or small company

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

For over a month I'm working on a new place. The current company is much larger in size than the previous one. Wondered how something once about where the best.

Work in a company, in a sense is a co-operation (in exchange for the time / power / young company gives money and sots.paket). With what company is better to cooperate?

I would highlight the following options (in terms of IT specialist):

  1. Tiny organization. In these usually 1-2 IT specialist.
  2. Small. To such I would mention, for example, modern online stores. Developers there, usually within a dozen.
  3. Average. These include such companies as Aksimed, Akronis and (judging by the list of vacancies) TimeZero. Perhaps Diasoft.
  4. Large. System integrators (eg, CRIC).
  5. Tremendous. Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, Serena, NI ...

Push here!

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Practice shows that for a comfortable user experience with your information system, the user should always see where he needs to push.

Well if he is still at the same time sees who he is and where he is, but "where the press?" - The main question.

For example, the online store Eldorado done tutorial , which describes the ordering process from the moment you realize that you want to buy, and before the stage when the system confirms that the order is accepted.

Fog of RIA-demon

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Once on your blog AlternativaPlatform , floated a man and gave a link to its most primitive Flex-application, argued that it is much steeper than the disclosed roller Alternatives. I probably felt the same sensation steeper when he made his first application "Calculator" in Delphi 3. It was a lot steeper than the development on Borland Pascal / C + +, but it was just the beginning.

This situation ("unconscious incompetence") exists now and in the RIA-sphere. However, if you manage a project, the rejection of RIA may be a mistake. It is clear that there is a risk. It is clear that the risk is great (especially in Moscow, where a good RIA-specialist will be difficult to maintain, and laypersons of Pontus constipation any case).

It is appropriate to recall the article " 2008 - year of rich Internet applications . "

Purchasing staff

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Alternative long to recruit staff . It is difficult to assess the attractiveness of the proposal because of the lack of the most interesting information (mortgage, employment in the event of withdrawal of Alternatives, etc.).

Recently I have been known to departure from Moscow to the periphery of programmers. Good mortgage offer good wages - not all this can not strictly bind the employee to the company? Is not it engenders enthusiasm?

Of course - the costs are great, but then the benefits are not small, if (of course) management at the head.

If you need competitive, is it possible to do without the best? precisely without the best team? After all, if you gather people from different places - they can not work, and if they work - then how well?

Nominated "Villains Year

Friday, April 18th, 2008

I have long wanted to establish a mocking nomination, but somehow did not find anyone to honor.

But now, finally, the first decent act in the field of view. In its platform and demos , staff AlternativaPlatform awarded this murderous awards.

I hope this step should be to spur the Great Permyakov competing factions in the black on greater weight as to orient them on the quality, and most importantly - on innovation.

However, I am more interested - as will appear portals on this platform?

Online Games

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Number of online games over the past two years has increased dramatically. Most are free, some - to give a symbolic price, but in reality they both require about the same cost.

Another popular course - to demonstrate the progress of their rarabotok. Helps to attract investment and to disseminate information about the project.
