I was extremely fortunate to attend BASTA 2014 in Darmstadt. Germany is a wonderful place full of extremely intelligent developers building amazing things. One of my objectives is to learn about what folks are building with our products and to find ways we can improve.
Oliver (our Training Director) was on hand to provide great technical content (in German no less).
John Martin was also in attendance (he works closely with developers in Germany and is a seriously awesome colleague):
Oliver and I had a series of talks at the conference as well. To be honest, I had one talk and he had 200 or so (if I remember correctly).
One of the highlights of the event was our Customer Mixer. We invited customers from all over Germany to spend some time with us talking about what they are building and how we can improve our products in general. It was probably one of the best parts of the trip: speaking and interacting one-on-one with each and every customer.
I seriously think I managed to speak to everyone there:
There are tons more pictures if you would like to have a look.
If you are interested in us coming out to an event let me know! I am anxious to really get into how our products are actually being used (as opposed to the awesome demoware I manage to create on a daily basis).
As always, if there are any comments and/or questions, feel free to get a hold of me!
