Windward in the Development Community

Fostering Personal and Professional Growth in the Development Community

Ever since the original Cubicle Wars video went viral back in 2006, Windward has taken an unorthodox approach to interacting with the development community. From Code Wars to STEM, we pride ourselves in striving to improve the development world — not because of our bottom line but because we believe there is so much untapped development potential. And we’d all be better off if it were tapped.

Cubicle Wars

We released the original Cubicle War in 2006 and another one in 2010. The talented production team of Barats and Bereta were given only one directive: “Make developers laugh.” Given the viral ascent of the two videos, it seems they did just that.

Code Wars

It’s part “The Amazing Race” in a fast-paced computer lab and part “Survivor” where the challenge is to troubleshoot bugs, not eat them. A Code War is when teams of students from top international universities work together to analyze a problem, create a solution, and then pit their skills against other programming experts – all in a mere 8 hours.

No resource is more valuable than our students, and Windward believes in making an education in computer science as stimulating as it is enjoyable.

STEM

We at Windward know there are many barriers that stifle individual innovation. We all believe, as individuals and as a company, that lack of access to the correct tools should not be one of them. We choose to be part of the technology world with the purpose of enriching the community with our voices and our software solutions.
