Hey Everyone,
Sorry for the second message this week. With the rush of the newsletter
on Sunday, I had forgotten to publicise an event from one of our
sponsors, Red Gate.
Red gate are not going to be holding an event with us this year, and
have requested that we let you guys know about an event that they are
holding on Friday.
Hope your second week is going well so far!
Best Wishes,
Sam Lanning.

Calling all technophiles! Want to know what working in software
development is really like in a software development company? We'll tell
you all about it; the ups, the downs, the zig zags and all...If you have
a passion for coding or technology, and agree that geek is the new
black, this is the talk for you.
Two of our previous graduates (1 software engineer, 1 test engineer)
will be talking to you about what it's really like to build software
outside of the classroom. We'll explain how, at Red Gate Software, we go
about taking an idea and launching it into a project, how our teams all
hang together and how we get to the end result of a world-class piece of
software. Software development is the crux of our business; software is
our product, our life-blood, our very soul! So we know what we're
talking about...most of the time...we like to think...
We'll also have plenty of information for you on the different kinds of
opportunities we have here and the kind of people we seek out to join
us. We don't just hire software developers -- we take people from
various backgrounds into a range of technical areas such as testing,
technical communications and user experience. This talk will probably
interest final year comp scis and students from a technical, numerate or
scientific background with an interest in technology or programming.
