Welcome back to the first meetup of 2014. We are very excited to announce we will have talks from Aral Balkan and Greg Brockman, CTO at Stripe.

Places are still available if you want to join us. The chalet is £425, equipment hire, transport ski passes will cost about the same amount again.

Secret Sales: When you finish a feature, can you release it with confidence right away, or do you have to wait days or weeks to find out what users think? Secretsales uses continuous delivery to get super-rapid feedback on all the features we build for our busy, successful online shopping site. In addition, we are a team of generalising specialists, ready at the drop of a hat to refine an algorithm, write a tricky integration test, tune a SQL query, or discuss feature nuances with a product manager. We hold regular retrospectives to improve our working environment and lightning talks to share cool ideas whether work-related or not. Write to our CTO Squirrel at [masked] to find out more about jobs at Secretsales. 10gen is the company behind MongoDB, an open source, document-oriented database designed with both scalability and developer agility in mind. 10gen offers production support, training, and consulting for the open source database. The goal of MongoDB is to bridge the gap between key-value stores (which are fast and scalable) and relational databases (which have rich functionality).
