IT Summer Camp 2018 was launched at a record pace. Since the initial idea, we had consequently prepared a concept, created a web and a communication campaign which was followed by first interviews, newly created agenda and properties to start the camp itself. The camp’s capacity was set to 8 interns. We received over 40 applications through our platform where applicants stated their previous working experiences and projects they had worked on. 5 were selected to be given a 3-month paid internship at localhost.company
IT Summer Camp officially started on July 2nd, 2018. On the first day, interns were given introduction about localhost.company and ITSC agenda. Based on our motto “take a plunge” we immediately placed the interns onto our projects under the management of scrum master in accordance with their skills and preferences. Following the introduction, they were given adequate tasks and time to solve them or, if needed, a tutorial with the help of senior developer.
Throughout the entire period, interns were getting all the company’s benefits alongside participation on project teambuildings and office traditions. Their integration with company culture was practically immediate and spontaneous.
3 months have flied really quickly . Interns gained experience from working on real projects within an agile environment. They learnt the lifecycle of project development and testing while simultaneously improved their English and skills in their IT interests. Towards the end of their internship, guys were invited to our annual innovation day known as LED — Localhost Exploration Day. 4 interns were given a certificate of attending ITSC and a permanent paid internship during their studies.
IT Summer Camp’s 2018 flow positively surprised us and exceeded our expectations. We gathered 4 great colleagues who adapted to the company’s DNA rapidly and provided bright ideas for the company. As well as this, we processed a lot of useful information for next year’s project realisation to which we are already looking forward 🙂

We would like to introduce you to our new interview format, which will be gradually added to our blog. As the first in line, we interviewed our Croatian colleague Mario Plantosar, who is a react native developer. He told us what he does in his free time, how he hacked a computer at his elementary school, and when is the best time to visit Zagreb.
Welcome to this interview where we dive into the world of product owners in the software development industry with our colleague Karol. According to him, being a product owner is an exciting and dynamic role that includes a wide range of responsibilities. We will find out what he learned in the Romanian city Cluj and also, what vacation destination he recommends. So, let’s get into it and explore what it’s like to be a product owner in this rapidly changing and innovative field! :)
Data science has become a powerful field that combines statistical analysis, machine learning, and domain knowledge to extract valuable insights from complex datasets. By leveraging data collection, cleaning, exploration, modeling, and visualization techniques, businesses can uncover patterns and correlations that drive innovation and decision-making. Let’s explore the exciting world of data science and its transformative impact across various industries.
Some people bike or watch series in their free time. Our colleague Michal Géci, however, used that time to create his own arcade game called Ulrich. It’s about a vampire who one day receives a strange letter. After long nights of story development, drawing, programming, and composing music, he revealed more to us :)
Our client is one of the biggest suppliers of spare parts for transport vehicles and buses in Slovakia and the only producer of buses in our country. With more than 90k different kinds of commodities in its warehouses and growing operations every year, the point where all the stock movements in, between and out of the warehouses became particularly challenging was reached. It has had certain implications for controlling, reporting processes and in overall transparency of financial and data flows in company.
