6 Fun Activities for Tech Lovers in Cluj

Winter is coming they say, but meanwhile we’re mid November, which is the coziest month of the year. Not too cold, yet cold enough to stay inside with a pumpkin spice latte to keep you warm. Or you can skip the latte. Either way, this is the perfect time of the year to get tucked in blankets and have a good read or binge watching Netflix or enjoying a fun indoor activity. Speaking of which, there are some quite fun activities you can do in and around Cluj-Napoca.

The most important career event in Cluj-Napoca this fall is undoubtedly the IT Career Fair. It’s the 12th edition of this job fair, that gathers around 3.500 participants annually.

As an IT recruiting company in Cluj, of course we will also be there and we hope to meet you there too. Don’t miss it, it’s this weekend!

JavaScript is amongst top 3 most popular programming languages around the world, no doubt about it. But it hasn’t always been like this. And the story goes a little something like this. In mid 90’s the predominant programming language was Java, a language that was fairly difficult to learn and somewhat too sophisticated for simple applications. And this is where Netscape comes into play.

We’re in full autumn season and, while some are cozily tucked enjoying the chill vibes with pumpkin spice and everything nice, others are ready to get out there and conquer the world. At least career wise. The reason is that fall of 2018 brings exciting events to our city, for the IT peeps mainly. Some of these IT events we’re quite hype about, because we’re going to be there. And we hope to meet you there and get to know each other. Other events seem to be very cool and worth the time.

The last weekend of August marked an important cultural event that has been held annually in Cluj-Napoca for the past 9 years.
