Five months of hard work and very tough competition from companies across Europe. That is the tender of the Publications Office of the European Union in a nutshell. And that makes us very proud to be the only winning Czech company.

Hackathon Q-TON 2.0 was held at Forum Karlín in Prague during the last weekend in November. It was the second event of its kind held on the premises of the companies Qest automation, UP21 and a few other sister projects. Smart City was the topic, and eMan experts were available to seven teams working on various visions of the city from the not too distant future.

On Monday 27 November we met our colleagues from Plzeň at an event organized by TechHeaven on the DEPO2015 premises. We simply could not miss such an interesting topic as “Latest Trends in Mobile App Development”.

Our Solution Architect shared his story with us. A journey from military service, through corporations to his own businesses and eMan. Would you believe that he taught programming to adults when he was only 14?

We really enjoyed DevFest as both partners and visitors. But why was the largest (not only) Google tech festival in Central Europe moved back to Prague? What were the main obstacles for organizers and what support did they get directly from Google? To get to the bottom of all of this, we talked with the main organizer, David Vávra.

We introduced our door-to-door solution during the Mobile Internet Forum 2017 and La Degustation Online conferences. A tablet equipped with our app helps dealers and protects clients.

In the third article of the Anko library series we are going to improve the design of our demo application so it looks a bit better. We will also get to know other extension functions of Anko, e.g. how to set the app layout to portrait or landscape mode.

We will show you a few tricks on how to make toasts and dialogs easier. We will also launch activities and get to other useful tips which can be found in the Anko library. This article builds on the first part where we have laid the foundation on which we will now build our demo application.

TechHeaven is an NGO created with an aim to develop the tech community in Plzeň. It was founded by two great guys who have experience with startups as well as organizing specialized events. We offered them support and took a moment to talk to them.
