STREAMING PARTIES

A long time ago we used to get together over a cold one to share our passion for tech. The world changed a bit but our passion did not. Streaming Parties are now online/hybrid sessions and are about showing off what is making waves in the industry in an informal way. It is an opportunity for Entelectuals to get together and discuss their technology passions - and frustrations – over a beverage of your choice. It’s simple, but the discussions and demonstrations are a great way to share knowledge with colleagues and sometimes, discover something new.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE SESSIONS WE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST:

  • Securing web applications using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect
  • Process Automation, BPMN and Camunda
  • The key to a successful design system
  • Send data like a game developer
  • Debugging memory and concurrency issues in reactive Java code
  • Putting the fun into Spring fundamentals
  • Imposter Syndrome
  • Cross platforms with Flutter
  • Influencing change at your customer
  • CI/CD for data engineers

 

COFFEE && CODE

Every Friday, we invite Entelectuals to kickstart their day with a cuppa joe and a fresh-out-the-oven croissant, while a team member shares on either a technical or non-technical topic.

Coffee && Code originated in the Cape Town office (those trendy hipsters) where team members gathered to chat about the coolest tech or latest trend in the industry. The idea soon spread and now we hold Coffee && Code across the company, in all our offices and virtually. It’s the perfect opportunity to expand your skills, share knowledge, and connect with fellow tech enthusiast Entelectuals.

 

YODA

A SOURCE OF WISDOM

Yoda is our internal blogging system where Entelectuals can publish blog posts they have written. It’s aimed at being our internal StackOverflow—a place to ask questions, talk about lessons learned, or showcase technologies and processes. Posts that are of high quality are published publicly, and those bloggers receive valuable Entelect Rewards (not to mention extra street cred). We also promote and share our people's personal blogs.

 

DOJOS – WAX ON, WAX OFF!

SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS IN TECHNOLOGY-AGNOSTIC SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES BEFORE YOU ENTER THE ARENA.

The Entelect Dojo is an internal training initiative focused on technology-agnostic software development practices—all those cool things that improve the quality of our software, but we seldom practice before jumping into the deep end. Developing with Docker, Blackbelt.NET & Kubernetes 101 for developers are examples of the dojos we have. Each session includes a heavy practical component—at least 75% of the allocated time is dedicated to running simulations, cranking out sample code, solving real-world problems, and building something useful that illustrates the key principles of the topic in question.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE DOJOS THAT HAVE RUN IN THE PAST:

  • Java Script fundamentals
  • Design thinking
  • Intro to Kotlin
  • Setting expectations
  • Database performance tuning and analysis
  • DataOps

HERE’S WHAT OUR PEOPLE HAD TO SAY ABOUT OUR DOJOS:

“Thank you for an amazing and insightful presentation, going through the activities you prepared for the session was really helpful in understanding how GraphQL works.”

“The team was very helpful, I even managed to get assistance after the event.”
