Meetup at White New Media Architects in Valkenswaard

Spring is upon us so it's time to get started with our bi-monthly meetups in the Netherlands. We're happy to announce we're kicking off our March meetup at White New Media Architects (http://www.white.nl) in Valkenswaard.

Our first speaker is no one less than Stefan Koopmanschap! He will be talking about "Symfony2 Best Practices from the trenches". Stefan is a veteran within the PHP community and very active for Symfony, so there's a lot to learn from him, even if you're not using Symfony.

Second speaker for the evening is Jeroen van Dijk who will be sharing a case study on AutoTrack.nl & AutoTrack.be. The talk "Liking relevance" will take the attendee knee deep into the problems the team faced, while implementing Solr, in analyzing, faceting, getting the right user experience and of course the relevant results for the second-hand car site where you have to ability to search on more then 200 different attributes of a car! Now you may calculate how many unique different search queries that sums up to…

Of course we'll be raffling stuff away and you get to hang out with all the local (and not so local) developers at our networking moments.
