AG Grid Support in Rapise 7.4

October 27th, 2022

One of the major new features in Rapise 7.4 is the support for the popular AG Grid. Born out of frustration with existing solutions, the AG Grid evolved from a side project to becoming the leading JavaScript datagrid on the market. It supports all the major JavaScript frameworks, including React, Angular, Vue and Plain JavaScript.

StarWest 2022 - It's a Wrap, Folks

October 17th, 2022

Yet another StarWest is in the rearview mirror, and we have some takeaways to share. 

• Innovate, and they will come - Starwest (and techwell, in general) is known for its relentless search for new ideas and outstanding learning opportunities for conferencegoers. This Starwest, the organizers introduced VIP packages for companies who wanted to send groups of employees to a conference for learning outcomes and team-building. Other honorable mentions for the Test Leadership Summit and Women Who Test - both fantastic learning opportunities.
• Program maketh conference - the key to a great conference is the quality of its speakers and talks. Unsung heroes here are the members of the conference selection committee. However, Techwell seems to invest time and resources in finding the top talent to help them create the best program possible. 
• Take care of your sponsors, and they will stand by you - StarWest had a robust number of companies of all sizes exhibiting in Anaheim, CA. Techwell’s approach to nurturing sponsors and building relationships with them has made STAR conferences a staple of many companies’ annual marketing budgets.
• Fun and Wellness - Starwest is in step with other famous conferences emphasizing wellness (morning yoga) and fun activities: speed networking, welcome reception, bonus sessions, interviews, and games. But nothing beats Starwest’s famous location - Disneyland! No matter what age, we all want to go to Disneyland.
