Eclipse trainings available

I delivered my first Eclipse training just before Christmas last year. I’m happy to say that the clients, just under a dozen programmers working for a large German corporation, have reported being “very satisfied” with my two-day seminar. I’m also happy to say I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would, probably due… read more

Saros: Needs-based synchronisation and a greatly upgraded Whiteboard

I’ve been so extremely busy the last six weeks that I’ve had no time to blog. During that time a new release of Saros went out and I almost let it pass without telling you about it.

I’ve become a freelancer. To be more specific: a freelance IT professional providing consultancy, training and writing services. It’s quite a change… read more

The Great Saros Documentation Overhaul

I just recently noticed an old blog post of mine from late last year in which I announced the creation of a Getting Started page (referring to it rather grandly as “user manual”). I think it’s timely to announce now that the Saros documentation has been greatly overhauled. Not only has existing content been updated… read more
