Meet You At Free Software & Linux Days 2012



As you may know Ozgur Yazilim ve Linux Gunleri is one of the most important events in Turkey about free and open source software and Linux. This year, as always, my company is one of the sponsors. The event will take place at the Bilgi University Dolapdere Campus. Thanks to everyone who is working hard enough for this event to take place. Cheers guys.

We will also be giving two talks:

  • The Dairy of a Project Manager: How I screwed my last project
  • Open Source Software Development Tools

Of course, I can never forget to mention my buddy Bekir Dogan, who will not leave me alone there :)

See you there!

I think the title of the article might have been, “When you shouldn’t Design Software” too. So keep up with me!

How To Build a Framework From Scratch – Part 2

I’m sure you had thought that the first part was the last part, but you are wrong :). After reading the first part, I didn’t thought again and gave up on my framework project. And you are right there is no commit, yet :) But things are getting clearer with each passing week (yeah not based on days but weeks because I don’t really have a lot of time to spare for this). So let’s go on with the second part.
