This impressive number states how many evaluations have been realised since April 2008 by CITROEN employees on a web skill assessment software, developed by Net-ng.

The project is conducted by the GNFA, national association in charge of automotive training.

Implemented in 2008, the application is based on a set of modules, that have been for the most developed under Nagare. The application interacts with business management systems through webservices.

Among the set of modules, the reporting functionality (700 Mb of data for 6 million data units) has been fully developed with Nagare and widely uses YUI library for presentation (dynamic arrays, filters, ...), reportlab - the OpenSource PDF library for dynamic PDF generation with high quality and complex formatting (contents, inserting graphics) - and xlwt to generate multi-tabs Excel workbooks.

Other projects in skill assessment in the automotive sector are in progress ....To be continued!

Net-ng attended the recent PyCon in Atlanta, Georgia, US (February 17-25 2010). PyCon is the largest (Over 1,000 Python programmers) worldwide annuel conference for the community using and developing the open-source Python programming language. It mixed three events such as Tutorials, Conference days (talks, open space sessions, lightning talks, poster session and expo hall) and development sprints.

As a sponsor of this event, next to Google, Oracle, WaltDisney, Microsoft or CCP Games, Net-ng was promoting Nagare at the expo hall (see picture below). We really enjoyed deep discussions with python web developers, who understood the added-values Nagare brings to their web applications developments (A new way to build web applications). This was an extraordinary opportunity for us to present the latest Nagare release (0.3) and its brand new dedicated web IDE.
