The importance of continuous learning: A look at the development culture of Qualogy Mendix Developers
In a rapidly evolving technology world, continuous development is not just a bonus; it is a necessity. At Qualogy, we not only understand this, knowledge sharing is in our DNA! As Mendix developers, we are constantly focused on being at the forefront of technological innovation and expertise. We do this not only for ourselves, but primarily to provide our clients with unparalleled quality and knowledge in the form of secondment or project-based solutions.
Our approach: training and knowledge sharing
A central part of our approach is an emphasis on targeted training and internal events focused on knowledge sharing. Our developers regularly participate in various knowledge activities to strengthen their skills and deepen their knowledge of Mendix technologies. This ranges from attending external meet-ups to participating in interactive knowledge sessions within our organization.
1. Traineeship and internal training
In our Mendix traineeship, we offer talented starters the chance to grow into full-fledged Mendix developers, under the expert guidance of our own senior developers. With its first edition, this program has already produced five successful juniors who have since gained valuable experience with various clients and on a variety of projects. They began their careers under the wing of a senior, but quickly developed into nearly independent professionals. However, the learning does not stop after the traineeship. These driven juniors continue to develop continuously, not only through their practical experience, but also by constantly acquiring new knowledge. Within Qualogy, we value continuous knowledge sharing. For example, our senior developers organized several knowledge sessions on different topics. Examples of the topics covered last year:
- Note++ & Performance: How to code efficiently and optimize application performance.
- Native Development: developing responsive and intuitive native apps.
- Error Handling & Logging: Effective strategies for error management and application activity logging, ensuring smooth operations.
- Security: Ensuring application security, a crucial aspect in our digital age.
- RunTime Management: efficiently manage application processes and resources.
- Authentication: Establishing reliable authentication systems.
- Automated Testing: How to ensure application quality and reliability through automated testing procedures.
2. Knowledge Sharing and Meet-Ups
Knowledge sharing is at the heart of Qualogy. Through regularly organized internal events and attending external meet-ups, our developers stay abreast of the latest trends and best practices in Mendix development. This year, we are taking it a step further by hosting a Mendix meet-up ourselves, highlighting our commitment to ongoing development and knowledge sharing within the community.
At Qualogy, the pursuit of knowledge is a given that applies to everyone, not just juniors. Our senior developers, with their wealth of experience, remain as driven in their professional development as our younger colleagues. This ethos of lifelong learning is woven into our culture, where every developer, regardless of their experience level, is encouraged and supported to acquire new skills and continually deepen their knowledge. This way we ensure that our entire team, from junior to senior, is always equipped with the most up-to-date and advanced expertise in Mendix technologies.
Customer benefit: always up-to-date
The result of our commitment to continuous development is that our clients are always assured of up-to-date knowledge and expertise. In an industry where change is the only constant, Qualogy ensures that our clients always receive the most up-to-date and effective solutions.
