Real-time Collaboration Survey
Written in Uncategorized - on Saturday, February 6, 2010 0:40 - 0 CommentsWe would like to engage you in a short survey, allowing us to be up-to-date with everyone’s opinion regarding real-time collaborative applications.
If you have exactly 1 min, give this survey a try. When we have reached 100 responses, we will publish the results.
Enjoy the weekend!
This week we attended Launch48 in Bucharest with Decily, a web app for brainstorming and making online decisions on the fly. We had to envision, plan, develop and market this in 48 hours. Needless to say, this was quite a adrenaline-rushing, roller-coaster-like experience and it has taught us a lot about how to get things done, no questions asked.
As if the 48 hours of Decily.com of start-up on steroids weren’t enough, we also presented a first draft for XTWIP at OpenCoffee Thursday morning. We had a lot of questions from people in the room, got quite a few good ideas out of it – the most significant being we should start active conversations with potential customers even before our service is market ready. Next week on Wednestday, we’re presenting XTWIP at Seedmoney Breakfast, so we hope we’ll see you there 
Back to the Launch48 experience, we’d like to thank the advisory board and the mentors for their valuable feedback. Most of all, however, we thank the team we worked with for all the effort they put into Decily during the 2-day event. Particularly, we’d like to thank Val for the hard work, expertise and useful insight he invested into Decily.
SeVinde.ro and OpenMyCV.com were the other two projects being implemented at the event. They also had great, simple-but-inspiring concepts and their teams also did a great job at launch48ing. We are honoured to have been in the same start-up sandbox as them
The projects were presented at NetCamp in 20-minute slots, together with other inspiring speeches and great initiatives

Pentru cei interesati de un stagiu in cadrul proiectului nostru: mai jos gasiti task-ul in Java vrem ca voi sa-l rezolvati cat mai repede. Trimite-ti solutia voastra arhivata pe mail la
ninthprime [at] gmail [dot] com
Ar fi OK sa ne trimiteti solutiile pana maine (luni), seara, la bine-cunoscuta ora 23.55.
What?
Ideea Ninth Prime de colaborare fara efort uzeaza de componente Swing sensibile la update-uri atat din partea utilizatorului, cat si din partea colaboratorilor.
Astfel, se doreste crearea unui client miniTWIP.
Client reprezinta o simpla aplicatie SWING, ce afiseaza o forma geometrica (la alegere) si ii modifica pozitia pe ecran in functie de anumite update-uri.
Interfata grafica dispune de un whiteboard (unde se afiseaza desenul) si de un controlboard (o componenta care accepta text, ex: JTextField , JTextArea).
Why
Utilizatorul doreste urmatoarele update-uri:
1. La introducerea in controlBoard a unor noi coordonate pentru forma geometrica, sa se faca update pe whiteboard (respectiv afisarea componentei la noile coordonate introduse)
2. Clientul se conecteaza la serverul miniTWIP (sursa pentru server o gasiti aici) si ii trimite (o singura data) dimensiunea ferestrei (sub forma unui obiect java.awt.Dimension).
Serverul va trimite, timp de 20 secunde, alte noi coordonate (sub forma java.awt.Dimension). Se doreste un update pe whiteBoard, la fiecare noi coordonate primite de la server.
Aceste 2 update-uri se vor face in paralel.
How?
- java network tutorial
- how to Swing
- how to not crash
What for?
Dorim sa va facem o introducere in procesarea componentelor grafice Swing, fiind unul din task-urile primare in cadrul proiectului TWIP.
Other
- fereastra nu isi poate schimba dimensiunile (non-resizable)
- serverul miniTWIP accepta o singura conexiune pe portul 12345. Dupa expirarea celor 20 secunde, serverul inchide conexiunea.
- modalitatea de introducere a coordonatelor in controlBoard este la alegerea fiecaruia
It’s been a while since we’ve updated you on TWIP – cause there was a lot going on here, behind the scenes. But here’s the thing: this summer, our start-up company is hiring developers. We want enthusiatic people who are keen on developing their own apps in Java, using the TWIP collaborative Framework.
So you’re tired of employers giving you absolutely no space for creativity in software development ? Well then, come over to our side – cause we do appreciate creativity.
You do need solid knowledge of Java SE. And you must be keen to really make a change.
We would really appreciate if you:
- know your way around SWING
- have some knowledge of threads, sockets and/or NIO
- have a good command of English
- know what application you’d like to work on
Here’s how this works: you come up with a cool, viabile idea for an application which could be drafted in 3-4 months. You prove you have the knowledge and the determination to do it.
You get: working with a young team on a new, bold project. You get to learn interesting stuff in the process. Your ideas and feedback will be appreciated. You get paid (let’s not forget that). If you do a good job and you like it, our team gets a new member on the long run.
Sign up here. Interviews will begin soon.
… and one more thing we promise: the interview won’t be any of that boring stuff regarding where do you see yourself in 5 years.
The Team
Written in Pure Business, Uncategorized - on Thursday, January 22, 2009 10:37 - 16 CommentsWe are Ninth Prime Technologies: Bogdan Bocse & Cristian Andreica

Ok. Cristi here. Adventure started a few weeks before NetCamp. We met strangly at a bus station(knowing each other faces from some physics class in university), and started talking about different software projects. Simple as easy, Bogdan told me about TWIP, and how we can make users collaborate entirely, with no restrictions imposed whatsoever , inside one framework.
After a while, we skimmed a few basic ideas, focusing entirely on collaboration. As we are both tech guys, tons of ideas immediately showed up, and we both shaked hands friendly…TWIP must become reality.
This is the team!
The greatest thing about XTWIP is that it can easily be attached as a layer over your BI or MiddleWare applications [...] I believe this is the ultimate step a company should take in its efforts to increase productivity.
