2018 is almost over, a reason to share some thoughts.
- I was a double IBM Champion, Collaboration and Cloud.
- Attended IBM Think in Las Vegas.
- When in Las Vegas I did the St. Patrick run near the Hoover Dam.
- Delivered a portal for a big city in the Netherlands, based on Spring Boot and Thymeleaf
- Still at Rabobank, doing interesting projects
- My oldest daughter moved to another volleyball club to get more out of her sport
- We did a road trip though the Rocky Mountains in the USA
- … and visited New York, where Bill Malchisky spent time with us as a tour guide. Many thanks….
- Spoke at several events like EntwicklerCamp, SNoUG, Engage, IconUK and Social Connections
- Presentations were about Spring Boot and Reactive API.
- Hope to keep sharing my knowledge in 2019
- Learnt a lot about Spring Boot and Pivotal Cloud Foundry
- Learnt CosmosDb on Azure as MongoDb and hate it right away 😉
- Still a fan of MongoDb and explored the new cloud offering MongoDb Atlas.
- Build applications with Angular and React
- Build the same API with Spring Boot, NodeJS and Python to learn more. In my pet project NodeJS was the winner.
- Did some beta testing with Domino v10 beta2
- Was not surprised HCL will take over the whole IBM Collaboration suite.
- Hope HCL can keep the existing customers on the platform
- I will not wait and will move on.
- Already 4 years going strong Freelance Full Stack Developer.
- My lovely niece, only 5 years old, passed away after she lost the fight of her disease.
- Remembered our lovely niece on her birthday by wearing 2 different socks.
- Enjoyed to being part of an amazing ‘yellow’ community. A bit more from the side line…but still part.
- Running was on a low, but compensated by more on the MTB.
- Moved my mail and documents from Google to Microsoft Office 365 and I am happy.
Happy 2019
