July has been a busy and fruitful month at our Authority Partners (AP) Lab.

On June 9th 2016 we had the pleasure of hosting our first DEV Talks! Designed for sharing knowledge and experience from one developer to another, DEV Talks took place in Tuzla and brought together more than 30 IT professionals around some of the latest industry topics.

Once again we partnered up with the Faculty of Information Technology (FIT) Mostar to create value in the IT community. On June 2nd and 3rd, we took part in the 9th FIT Coding Challenge – a competition where talented students of computer science in BiH present their projects in front of a panel of IT experts.

On May 10th, 11th and 12th Authority Partners held the “Hour of Code“ event for 90 pupils of 3 primary schools – Saburina Sarajevo, Srednje Ilijas and Ilidza. The event was organized in cooperation with the Civil Society Promotion Center, and is promoted as the largest learning event in history, designed to demystify code and show that anybody can learn the basics.

From April 18 to 20, 2016 Authority Partners representatives participated in the largest business and technology conference in the country – MS Network 6, which was held in Neum, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The conference gathered a record number of over 700 experts and managers from the ICT industry.

With the announcement of the upcoming AP Lab internship sessions which are planned to take place throughout May, June, July and August this year, and given the huge interest in AP Lab internship programs, Authority Partners organized an Open Day at AP Lab and visits to the schools of electrical engineering and information technology.

This month we are celebrating the success of our colleague Can Bilgin. Can published his first book “Mastering Cross-Platform Development with Xamarin” in April 2016. He joined Authority Partners in January 2016 as a Program Architect.

On March 19th and 20th, our leading experts gathered at the First Annual Authority Partners Architecture Summit in Konjic. The Summit offered a variety of technical sessions and discussions, but above all provided the opportunity for our experts to come together in exchanging knowledge and setting a goal for the future.

On March 18th 2016, we celebrated two years since the launching of AP Lab – a place that offers exciting internship opportunities and where talent meets talent. This special occasion gathered Microsoft and EESTEC LC Sarajevo representatives, Authority Partners employees and former AP Lab interns around cake and good food.
