Hi folks, I am Nico. I work in a contact center for Cisco. The favorite part of my job is to develop internal tools that tie multiple sources within the Cisco network together and offer agents a smoother way to perform their tasks. I work with tons of JavaScript at the moment but I also like python a lot. If things go well, I have to learn everything about IIS and the C# environment we have due to the fact that we run windows server. I am in the application process to switch to a tier II position in the application team. Cheers

I am learning currently electron and I have to say that I didn't find a lot of useful material out there. I think it's because not as popular as other things. However, it is not that hard and documentation + google + YouTube are enough, given the assumption that you can understand and write javascript. I feel, this has helped me to avoid common pitfalls, early on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0AkgNv4U4E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBfvnKDlZMw
