Jonas Butt, the new IT-talent?

February 27th, 2008 by Sander Schutten

IT-talent is an internship project which offers IT-talents an exclusive assignment with a prominent IT company. The goal is to create an unique experience and a solid basis for a successful career in IT. Check out www.it-talenten.nl (Dutch) for more information on this project.

One of the eight participating students is Jonas Butt, who’s doing his internship at Avanade Netherlands. During his internship he’ll try to answer the following research question:

How can Avanade promote the reuse of products (like code, patterns and domain knowledge) from similar projects within the same domain to reduce costs and shorten the run time?

If Jonas manages to make his blog the most interesting and entertaining of all eight he’ll be awarded the IT-talent of the year award. For more information please continue to read his blog.

Running

February 11th, 2008 by Sander Schutten

For about 5 months now I’m running with a couple of friends. We started out with a small route in the woods, but that got a little too dark in the winter. One time I was running right behind one of my fellow runners and I couln’t see anything but his white shoes. Suddenly I noticed the path was way to our right and we were standing somewhere in the middle of some schrubs. We then decided it was time for a new route. We found that route near the woods we used to run. Since then we expanded it to be around 7 kilometers in length. Our last record is about 41 minutes and today we’ll try to beat that. Below an image of the route.
