We all can be proud to have such an active AngularJS community here in Berlin. Really. The Berlin AngularJS Meetup Group which organizes monthly events with lots of interesting talks, is responsible for a big part of the buzz around the framework.

At the October AngularJS Meetup we were especially proud, as Meltwater was able to give back to the community by having our very own Hans-Gunther Schmidt give a talk on using promises and promise chaining through the $q implementation in AngularJS.

Meltwater is proud to be sponsoring RailsCamp Germany 2014. And what is the best sponsor to be? Correct, Burger Sponsor! We are happy to help RailsCamp to provide yummy vegan burgers to all participants.

So enjoy RailsCamp, and enjoy the burgers everybody. And of course, check out our open Rails position :)

Finally under the hood, our beloved Meltwater engineering blog, got a new design.

We have been running this blog since January 2013 now, and here we talk about technologies that we use in our daily work, we introduce new team members, and post job offers. Blogging has been a great way for us to learn and share new things with a broader community of developers.

While this was all good, we just could not live with the old blog design anymore (see below). Therefore Tristan and Alex, our UX designers and UI developers in Berlin, came up with this new design.

Backend engineer Yury Smolsky explains how he built Meerkat. Meerkat is an alerting software, developed by Meltwater, that integrates tightly with Graphite.

Hallo! Hello! Merhaba! I am Hans, happily married to a beautiful Turkish wife, and live in Berlin since 2002. Born in Singapore as half German, half Filipino, I have since then travelled through various countries over the years until I ended up where I am right now: Berlin! And since the very first weekend I came to this city I have fallen in love: open-minded people, come-as-you-are, multi-cultural, a vibrant electronic music scene, a wide variety of recreational/green areas, cheap & great food!
