Training is an investment for companies. But it is an investment that pays off. The search for qualified specialists is never over – and that is no different at adesso. In my blog post, I will give you an overview of the various training opportunities that adesso has to offer. I will also describe my own experience of the dual study programme at adesso and show how training courses could be taken to a new level in the future.

This blog post answers the question of whether the greenfield or brownfield approach is the better choice and whether there even is a better or worse choice in this context.

Legacy application modernisation is a much-discussed topic at the moment. It is an issue that concerns 90 per cent of mainframe users who are in search of a solution to their dependency on mainframes. Why is this an issue? What solutions are available on the market? What is the current situation today and what services can adesso transformer offer to replace legacy systems? Is there a one-size-fits-all approach to legacy application modernisation? I explore these questions in my blog post.

Although agile project methods are now increasingly spreading out of software development into a wide range of business areas, compliance departments and compliance projects are usually neglected in the agile transformation. With that in mind, I would like to use my blog post to explore the question of whether compliance departments and projects can benefit from agile methods and approaches that involve an iterative and transparent approach.

The day-to-day work in software development is work that requires a lot of brainpower. It involves high cognitive demands and skills in which perception and attention play a special role. The problem with this is that the way people think can be distorted. A distorted way of thinking leads to thinking traps and consequently to mistakes. Anyone who has mastered a few perceptual-psychological basics can adapt their way of working and especially their programming style in a way that avoids thinking traps and recognises mistakes more quickly.

Interim and completion forecasts are just as important in large agile projects as they are in traditional projects. Unfortunately, the Scrum Guide is no help at all here and classic methods are inadequate in most cases due to the complexity of the requirements. However, simple statistics and a transparent estimation method can be used to arrive at a reliable forecast. I will explain how this works in my blog post.

My goal in software development is to build programmes and features that people need and like to use. Only on the way did I slowly realise that simply writing code would probably not be enough. This journey continues to this day. In my blog post, I would like to share the crucial insights and changes of mind I had and give you an idea of what the world of software development is like.

Agile approaches are now very widely accepted. Scrum is often used as a framework and fixed events (meetings) are specified, among other things. Projects in the insurance industry often employ an agile approach, too. Despite that, employees and stakeholders sometimes harbour prejudices. I used to be project controller in a previous life, during which time I was involved in an agile project and was confronted with prejudices at the beginning. In my blog post, I would like to talk about prejudices and my own practical experiences regarding agile approaches based on Scrum.

CSS is short for cascading style sheet. But how exactly does the cascade work? I'll explore this topic and lead you through the CSS inheritance process on the pages to follow. You will also learn all about the different types of style sheets and how the weighting of individual selectors is calculated in detail.
