To answer your questions, I will start from the beginning. Gouden 11 is an online game based on a popular model where participants create a team that consists of actual football players, and get points for their performance. The core application consists of: player rankings, team edition, application for administrators, etc. The Game allows importing data from third party providers (Infostrada Sports, Global Sports Media). This popular online game was developed by the JCommerce programmers, and I was in the development team. Because of that, I received the T-shirt from our Belgian Client – De Persgroep – originator and principal of the game.
Polish Java nad PHP Developers in Belgium
The trip to Belgium was a perfect opportunity to visit business premises of the Customer; to meet people we cooperate with, and see the differences between our lives. During the flight we had a chance to admire unforgettable views. At the airport, we were picked up by a delegation, who took us to the business premises in Asse. On the spot we were introduced to everyone, and then we concentrated on work. However, the day of excitement didn’t end. In the evening, our Belgian friends took us to a local beer degustation. Next, curious and full of positive energy, we decided to explore the city.
The next day we had a chance to see how the real Belgian life looks like. We have learnt that between 9 and 18 cities are practically deserted, because residents spend the entire day at work. Moreover, the majority of places we wanted to visit were closed in the evening. We were disappointed for a while, but De Persgroep took care of interesting entertainment. Our colleagues took us for go-karts, where we could actively rest after the struggles of programming in JAVA and PHP.
I have been working as a Java developer for over 10 years. At JCommerce I work as a Technical Leader. I have participated in over a dozen commercial projects from various industries, including banking, entertainment and sport. Outside of work, I'm interested in football. I spend my spare time playing board games and computer games.
