A few years back, hybrid apps built with Ionic, Cordova or PhoneGap were a perfect and cost-effective alternative to native development. However, with technology moving forward, they might not meet users’ expectations anymore. React Native is a good alternative that can save your app from going under.

Stanisław Zalewski is a Senior Python Developer, responsible for building high quality Python applications that meet clients’ needs, supporting colleagues with his knowledge and experience, and helping with recruitment to the Python team. He feels right at home here and works towards a promotion to the leader position. He didn’t join Netguru the usual way, but through a merger between Netguru and Bitcraft, Stanisław’s previous company. According to him, the change was fast and smooth, and he’s happy to be where he is today.

Great and successful developers are often responsible but not necessarily so. Responsibility means that you know yourself and your own limitations while also maintaining awareness of what the project requires. I will try to explain who exactly is a responsible developer and why it’s fortunate to have one (or more) on board.

Ruby on Rails provides an excellent development ecosystem for building high performing web applications. It’s fast, reliable and supported by a massive community of talented Ruby on Rails developers –  we have leveraged this technology in most of our web development projects giving our clients the best solutions on the market.  But we’re not the only company using RoR – Airbnb, GitHub, SlideShare, Dribbble, Bloomberg, CrunchBase, and Shopify (to name a few) have also trusted Ruby on Rails and used it in their applications. Here is our roundup of the top 34 companies using Ruby on Rails in 2019.

Balancing time, money, scope, resources – those are just some of the Project Manager responsibilities. PM has to ensure that difficult projects are handled and positive results are obtained. We have to take care of proper communication between the team and the Client. Challenges are part of our job too.

Years ago, it was perfectly plausible for a company to have a great product, a persuasive marketing team, and ride high in its industry without fear of being toppled by a younger, smaller rival. In the digital era, however, new technologies are rapidly changing the business landscape, and organizations are turning to digital transformation as they look for ways to remain competitive.

Since many businesses want to make use of AI in order to scale up or take their start-up off the ground, it is crucial to realize one thing: the technology they choose to work with must be paired with an adequate deep learning framework, especially because each framework serves a different purpose. Finding that perfect fit is essential in terms of smooth and fast business development, as well as successful deployment.

Machine Learning is a trending field of Computer Science turning computer’s computations into usable data and giving a number of unique opportunities. It’s rapidly gaining in popularity – it’s common in modern web application as well as in services such as Netflix, Spotify, Amazon and Facebook. Machine Learning is a good solution for apps based on recommendations or some kind of predictions. If you want to build this kind of app you will need an efficient backend technology to support it – is Ruby on Rails the right choice?

Ruby on Rails and Django are both perfect frameworks for web development  – but how do you choose one over the other? The things that they have in common range from programming language similarities (Ruby for Rails and Python for Django), both are object-oriented and dynamically-typed and their performance, which is specific for each project. If you are trying to decide between the two, both Django and Rails are great choices – here are some things to consider that will help you make the right choice.

You are about to learn everything you need to know about building software fast using Ruby on Rails. Lead time (in terms of Lean Management) is a crucial KPI which might decide if a startup succeeds or not. Audience feedback and the first revenue (however low) is essential for new companies – creating a prototype which allows validating your idea quickly is crucial. This enables you to take the right direction for further development. That’s why the speed of software development is really important – less time spent on coding means a faster user feedback cycle and smaller development costs.
