When I got the job offer from TeamSnap, I was told that my skillset would be used to bring a lot of new life to their operations. One of the things I was told, was that the new people I was joining TeamSnap was bringing some really cutting edge technologies forward. They told me that TeamSnap had been working with a certain team that I was about to join, and that the technology they were bringing forward would be a huge benefit to what they do. The new team would have people that worked on the systems I would be joining, they told me. TeamSnap was going to use all of my skillset and I’d be working on their cutting edge systems. I believed this and I was excited.
When I was informed of this new world of technology, I was excited to see how it would benefit TeamSnap, though I had a question that I wanted to ask that I was afraid to ask. I asked TeamSnap what was the biggest benefit that this would bring to the company. They told me that it would be a huge benefit to the entire team. They were asking me to build a system that could really transform how they work, in some way. They were going to be able to have more visibility into what was going on and what could be changed, they said. They were also going to be able to have new and better ways to communicate and how decisions would be made. They also said that I would be part of this project. They said they were also going to be expanding their software to allow it to communicate with other teams, and how to work with other teams. It was also going to be a lot easier for them to manage their systems, and they would have better access to their technology. They said that the new products that they and their software would be able to build would be much easier for them.
Additions to the Executive Team of TeamSnap
TNS-TeamNext is proud to announce that the team will officially be led by the team’s new Vice President of Engineering, David Wittenberg. David has joined the team from Yahoo and will be responsible for adding new engineers to the team.
David’s background and skills are in large part responsible for the team’s success and the growth of TNS.
“When I joined Yahoo in 2003, I was the first engineer on my team and I learned the hard way that Yahoo didn’t need someone in charge of software development,” says Wittenberg. “It was never my intention to be CEO and I did my best to make sure I was a valuable asset to the TeamNext.
Born and raised in Boston, Wittenberg had the opportunity to work at numerous high-tech companies while at an early age. He attended Harvard University, where he studied computer science. At the end of 2013, David joined Google on a part time contract as a software architect. He quickly discovered that his favorite programming language was not his favorite language. “The only thing I would say is I am always learning,” says Wittenberg.
Wittenberg spent four years interning at Yahoo before joining Google as a full-time software architect. In his first six months on the job, he received a “C” for design excellence. His team at Yahoo was small but he quickly learned that Yahoo had a serious problem. “Yahoo was plagued with a very bad codebase and there were so many bugs in it that it was very difficult to even identify them. I spent a lot of time trying to help fix the code, but often just fixing the code and leaving the work to someone else. At Yahoo, we had a lot of junior engineers but there were not enough talented people to make our code quality much better.
Wittenberg worked on redesigning the Yahoo portal, as well as the team’s systems.
TeamSnap: Bringing Innovation to Sports
TeamSnap’s mission is to provide sports enthusiasts with a simple, easy to use and cost effective way to manage their teams and players across multiple platforms. As we continue to evolve TeamSnap to our second iteration, we are excited to announce our partnership with the SportsIQ App, a game and esports technology player who is committed to giving out the opportunity for their teams to be competitive and win on a global level.
SportsIQ and TeamSnap are creating innovative tools that will improve the process to keep players entertained and improve their game play. They are creating new ways to give athletes the opportunity to compete and win while the sports leagues move towards greater inclusivity.
SportsIQ and TeamSnap announced their partnership by announcing on August 26th, 2018, that they have signed a multi year agreement to begin offering their mobile technology to teams that have a specific goal in mind: to become competitive. SportsIQ has developed an app that enables them to track a player’s performance over time. Teams of which sports organizations are in need, can sign up to receive their data, and the app will allow TeamSnap to analyze their data and look at key trends in the athlete’s games to determine why they are performing poorly.
“Sport and esports are booming in the United States and TeamSnap plans to continue providing our users with quality in a way that fits their preferences,” explained Scott Rennie, CEO of TeamSnap. “This partnership furthers our commitment to sports fans and enables teams to continue to innovate. We want TeamSnap’s users to have a safe, affordable and easy way to gain more information about their athletes, coaches, and managers. By partnering with TeamSnap, we can provide our users with the data they need to stay connected with their athletes and stay competitive. We believe that by partnering together, we can provide value to both teams and players and grow our sport beyond its current boundaries.
With a focus on sports technology innovation, TeamSnap plans to expand their platform to other sports, such as football as well.
TeamSnap: Connecting Parents and Families
how to get started setting up your team for a connected Family and Parenting.
the best ways to connect on the TBR website.
find a mentor and work with them to get a family’s skills and experiences aligned.
find opportunities to network.
Find opportunities to connect with other parents and families on the TBR website.
Find opportunities to connect with other families through the TBR Family Portal.
Most of the families I have been involved with have adopted a connected Family model that was developed over time. They all believe it is a real possibility. The idea is to keep families that have not already been connected and together engaged in using the TBR.
There are many good reasons to have a team connected as an idea. They provide a network, a social capital that can be leveraged for collaboration and partnership building. They provide an easy opportunity for new people to grow in the field and learn from someone that they have been working with. They can even provide opportunities for new family members to meet and connect with family that have not been connected. These are powerful forces for positive social change. All because of the importance of connected families in society.
A few simple strategies you can use to get started. These strategies are not in any order and have probably already been tried, but they can help and can be used as a start.
Select the Mentor field and under the Select Mentors column, click Mentors to find a search.
You will see a list of people (and their affiliations) along with an indication of their role. You can pick that person, or you can email it to them.
Tips of the Day in Software
If you’re an experienced or beginning programmer, it might be a little more difficult to learn a new programming language from a textbook or from a reference guide than it might be to learn about a new topic such as cloud computing. But if you’re a beginner, it’s much easier because the language you’re trying to learn is already on your radar and you probably already know how to operate it.
First, try to get yourself introduced to the language itself. Maybe you want to give this a shot. But do your best to get yourself introduced to the basics. Don’t give up at first, just try to familiarize yourself with the basics.
For example, instead of asking someone how to get a book into a car seat, try asking the person what kind of seat would be best.
