Still alive :)
Hey there!
I'm still alive and I plan on blogging a little bit more in the future again.
So what did I do in the meantime? Well I started two new hobbies which are foosball and running so more sports for me! If you want to challenge me at a foosball table just drop me a note :) We got a nice Garlando Pro Champion in the office and I often hang out at Acapulco.
I'm still working on the local.ch frontend and we planed some cool features for this year. Check out their blog to stay up to date.
I also became a Certified Secure Web Developer having Sven as teacher was a lot of fun and he surely has skills! The course material itself was IMHO a bit low level I'd have enjoyed higher level hacking and/or more practical tipps. Still I got some stuff out of it and learned a lot while drinking some beer with the teacher afterwards ;)
Now the final reason that motivated me to do this blog post. I wanted to publish some slides which I produced last year together with chregu. We made a presentation about some advanced JS coding styles at the Liip TechDay and you might learn something from it. In the meantime I keep up my evangelizing about automated testing and proper JS code at Liip :)
Currently I'm playing around with Google App Engine and it's a lot of fun to learn some python. The first project is a task time estimator which should improve the estimation skills of me and my team. The idea is that you insert your tasks and give it your own estimation, then the other team members do their estimation too and in the end you can see the average estimation and the difference to the real time the task took to finish.

Cheers and see you soon
