JTeam
I started 2005 with a bang: my new job at JTeam. JTeam was started by two former coworkers of mine at SmartHaven: Alef Arendsen and Joost van de Wijgerd. To quote the website:
JTeam is a small innovative, Amsterdam-based software company, dedicated to satisfying customers by delivering high-quality software based on open standards, proven technology and a team of experts that are always focusing on the best solution possible. The best solution possible does not always mean it’s going to costs tons or takes ages. The best solution is the one that makes everybody happy.
JTeam has completed a number of impressive Java (J2EE) projects, including the middle-ware of the popular search engine Ilse. It has also started to investigate the .NET framework, and that is where I come in the picture. Though I have a Java background, the last serious Java application I created was almost three years ago.
So far, it has been very interesting. For the past three days, I’ve been mainly looking into the lightweight (EJB-less) Spring Framework. I am looking forward to playing it’s .NET counterpart Spring.NET, though I wonder whether there really is a need for such a framework in .NET.
