Also this year we organized around 50 sessions on diverse technical topics. We learned a lot and we had a lot of fun...
On 3D graphics... Quincy Jacos and Remko Haagsma organised a number of sessions covering various techniques in computer graphics like WebGL, Unity 3D, Blender and of course the math involved. We dealt with one topic per evening and had also have time to work on projects together or alone. At the end of 2019, we mainly discussed topics that were close to the basics. The sessions that have been held so far were about the layout of the track and the Unity game engine.
On Quantum Computing... Julian van Velzen organised sessions in which the basics of Quantum Computing were discussed: the physics, gates, programming and platforms (IBM, Microsoft) involved.
On architecture... Amir Westhoff, Fred van Nimwegen and Hans van Rijs discussed ways in which architecture can be modelled, stored & queried and visualized. Some of the topics: Neo4J (graph databases) and Apache Jena for storing and querying models, patterns, modelling in Archimate/Archi and UML and model visualization prototypes in threejs (2D/3D).
On IoT and Microcontrollers... Aishwarya Dhall organised sessions on Arduino, Raspberry Pi. In various labs we experimented with various sensors, made our own LED cube and learned to implement basic home automation solutions using IFTT (If This Then That) and Smart Home Devices like Alexia.
We discussed various topics on software engineering and specific technology stacks like C#, Python, Code Reviewing & SonarQube, ASP.NET Core, WebSockets and SignalR.
On mobile we had workshops on Android Studio, Ionic4 and Progressive Web Apps (PWA).
There was also room for Frontend technologies like Angular, Web Components, FlexBox and Vanilla Frontend Architectures (that is: building the frontend without frameworks).
On security, we had sessions on Encryption and Social Engineering in which we discovered that you don't need to use advanced technology to hack an organisation.
Various platforms were discussed, like Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes and DevonFW.
And in our "klusavonden" (which translates from Dutch as "an educational and sociable evening full of experiments on technology") we worked on our projects on various topics, gave demos and held discussed on the topics involved.
Thanks to all colleagues who contributed to the sessions by sharing their knowledge, experience, prototypes, demos and participating in the inspiring discussions!
In 2020, we'll continue our tracks on Graphics, IoT & Micro controllers, Architecture and our Combi klusavonden. And more topics have been put on the agenda... and there is still room for more.
The agenda for the sessions in January and February 2020 will include:

There remains a lot to learn in our Wednesday Evening Training... a quick preview on 2020
In 2020, we'll continue our tracks on Graphics, IoT & Micro controllers, Architecture and our Combi klusavonden. And more topics have been put on the agenda... and there is still room for more.
The agenda for the sessions in January and February 2020 will include:
- Combi IoT klusavond: Squat for coffee (Arduino and sensors)
- Practical 3D Graphics & Programming: Practical 3D Graphics & Programming: Unity movement
- A practical introduction to the Kotlin cross-platform programming language
- A practical introduction to the ReactJS framework
- Combi IoT klusavond: Automate your house using IFTTT.com (If-This-Then-That)
- Practical 3D Graphics & Programming: Blender modeling
- Architecture: API management
