NextLogic's story

Every year during Christmas break we sit down, relax and plan, usually first only with Peter on more strategic level and later with our staff. As said in many books, we do not find the final output important, but the process really is inevitable for certain things to happen. So, this year in January we were discussing how by Juny/July '07 we will grow our company and bring NextLogic to the new level - move to real office, hire more programmers and designer, start working on developing e-learning platform for our staff and how we might move into Ruby training in Singapore as no one else is really doing it here yet.
There you go, not even knowing how, its September and our business is exactly there. We have our great real office in Singapore, we are expecting our team to grow with 2-3 new members at the beginning of October (we will be hiring ex-offenders as we planned it, finally after one year of training in prison they are ready and able to join our team and we cannot be more happy about it). We just ran our first commercial Ruby on Rails training this weekend and Peter has been training SMU and NUS students since ITCS approached him last month and he will also be sitting in as a judge in ExtremeApps 24hours programming competition sponsored by Google coming weekend.
It really looked nothing like that maybe even a month ago. Its unbelievable how things sometimes out of nowhere start falling into place maybe because we planned them many months ago. I guess it applies in life and in business. We are very happy that our baby NextLogic has survived officially its first 2 years, that its growing and we are looking forward to the experience ahead.
Here are some photos from this week training that, by the way, was very successful and we are planning for more in the coming months.
We aim to be pioneers for Ruby on Rails in Singapore and its really happening.
So, dream and plan, as those dreams and plans might come true if the motivation behind them is strong enough.
