Seven years ago I started working as a developer at one of the two companies that merged together to become Liip. Why have I stayed so long? I still like developing, and I still like working here. Here are a few of the things that I think make Liip a great place to work:
We recently had a hackday in which our goal was to implement part of the iPhone / iPad / Android TSRInfo application using Phonegap and three different javascript / css frameworks. Specifically, the goal was to implement the news listing and video section. We had two people working on each approach: Sylvain Fankhauser and Laurent Prodon used with Backbone.js
, Thomas Botton and Benoît Pointet used JQuery Mobile (the Alpha 3 version), and Markus Leutwyler and I used Sencha Touch. I also looked into a few different solutions for having a tab bar which scrolls horizontally independantly of the rest of the page: an experimental jquery mobile scrollview component(which worked quite nicely), TouchScroll, and iScroll. None of us had ever really used these frameworks before, so it was also a bit of a test how quickly you can get into these different frameworks.
