My review of 2018

21-12-2018 no responses flinden68 business community development
2018

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
