Exploring Mobile Strategies with KPN

XABLU HQ — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 15:30:47 +0000

At the end of 2019, while many were preparing for the holidays, our trainers Nico and Ruud were busy working on a new training for KPN: Mobile Strategies and DevOps Training.
Xablu has years of experience in training companies inCross-Platform Mobile Development. Throughout the years, we have been part of many projects and we have gained a vision on which strategies work for different types of mobile projects and companies.

We collected all this knowledge and developed this into a training vital to any starting project: which decisions do you need to make first, which mobile development framework and architecture will you use, what is the perfect team to realise your project, etc.?

In two days, Ruud and Nico discussed many diverse topics related to starting a new mobile project. Besides the prepared presentation, many fruitful discussions with KPN were held to dive further into the prepared topics, as well as to discuss the specific situation of KPN.
Specific advice could be formulated to help create a starting point for the project. All in all, it was a great experience for both the trainers as well as the trainees: exchanging experiences and putting different expertises together to build a strong foundation for a new Mobile Development Project.

At the end of October, we were present at Philips VitalHealth to provide a one-week training focused on gaining experience with Xamarin development. Our Microsoft MVP Developer, Nico Milcoff, spend the week with their eager development team.

Nico traveled a very long distance; from Rosario, Argentina to finally end up in the Veluwe to reach Uddel, where VitalHealth is located. VitalHealth focuses on improving people’s health and enabling better health outcomes through digital innovations and solutions.

A week of Gaining Experience in Xamarin

In five intense back-to-back training days, the VitalHealth developers gained much Xamarin knowledge as well as hands-on experience through practical exercises.

Philips reached out to us through our training partner Global Knowledge. The team wanted to gain more in-depth knowledge of Xamarin and, therefore, they dived into the ‘Xamarin Certified Developer’ training.

Nico was very enthusiastic about the progress he saw, and he very much enjoyed working with the team:

“I was honestly amazed by the team spirit and how much interest they had for Xamarin. This was a great experience.”
NICO, MICROSOFT MVP AND TRAINER.

The VitalHealth development team also looks back on a successful week:

“We learned a lot, received a lot of practical information that matched our daily work thanks to a well-prepared training and the high level of knowledge and enthusiasm of our trainer, Nico!”

A Deep Dive into Xamarin for the UPS Team

XABLU HQ — Fri, 01 Feb 2019 10:15:21 +0000

Last week we had the pleasure of getting a team at UPS up and running with Xamarin development. Nico Milcoff flew over to the USA to lead an enthusiastic team of developers at the UPS Innovation Center in New Jersey.

UPS, the multinational package delivery and supply chain management company headquartered in the USA, got in touch with us through IT training broker NewAge Solutions. As they were looking for an intensive Xamarin course for their developers, we sent Nico Milcoff, who is a Microsoft MVP with many years of Xamarin development and training experience.

An intense week of Xamarin training

Held at the UPS Innovation Center in New Jersey, a full classroom of 15 developers took part in the week-long course.

As we’re a Xamarin University-certified training partner, the course followed the Xamarin University curriculum, with a combination of lectures, discussion and hands-on labs that let the group try out what they learned.

Participants had nothing but praise for Nico, who they said delivered the training very clearly while staying engaging and motivating!

At the end of the week, the UPS developers were equipped with the skills to independently start coding cross-platform mobile apps with Xamarin. As summed by one participant:

This is a great course if you want a deep dive into Xamarin’s capabilities, and to learn the proper methodology for building your project.

XABLU developer Marc Bruins has just got back from a week in sunny California, where he led a Xamarin training course at Newegg headquarters.

A leading retailer for computer hardware in North America, Newegg was interested in getting its developers started with Xamarin. They approached US-based training company Accelebrate, who then got in touch with Marc Bruins to lead an in-house course. As a Microsoft MVP and Xamarin University-certified trainer, Marc regularly teaches and speaks about Xamarin to both beginners and experienced developers.

One week to get developing with Xamarin

After several calls with Newegg, Marc got to work preparing for a five-day training program aimed at taking their developers from Xamarin newbies to independently coding Xamarin apps. Last week, he flew over to Newegg headquarters in Industry, California to deliver the training in person.

18 developers from both back-end and front-end teams attended the training, both on-location and remotely. The course followed the Xamarin University curriculum and included interactive discussions and hands-on labs where participants could quickly apply their new knowledge.

After an intensive week of learning, it was time to hand out the certificates. Congratulations to the new Xamarin developers!
