So you're interested in frontend development?

Then the e-service at Kvarteret is something for you!

The e-service is Kvarteret's IT group and manages all digital tools at Kvarteret. Currently, we focus on troubleshooting, maintaining, and further developing the website you are looking at now. Besides that, we regularly meet for social events :D

What do we do, and what are you most likely to do?

Mainly, we operate the website you are currently viewing. It's built in Next.js and uses Directus as a CMS and for data management. All of this runs in Docker containers in Azure app services. If you join the group, you are most likely to work on the website as well. It's a perfect way to build up your portfolio!

NB: Right now, we've just started a new project. We are making a new website in Astro.js. So if you want to join in on that project, you should send an e-letter to pr.it@kvarteret.no as soon as possible.

What prerequisites are needed?

Basically, no prerequisites are needed to join as long as you are interested in learning more about frontend development, especially Next.js. However, it is recommended that you have experience with JavaScript, as it will make it easier to understand the code from the beginning. If you already know Next.js or React, this is the perfect place for you to meet like-minded individuals!

How much time per week do we expect from you?

We are very flexible regarding workload per week, but we tend to spend around 2-4 hours per week working on the website. If you want to spend more than that, you are completely free to do so! It usually happens through weekly sessions where we meet at Kvarteret to code together, but it can also be done remotely, of course.

What can Kvarteret offer?

If you become a member of the e-service, you will have access to internal prices on all food and drinks you can buy at Det Akademiske Kvarter. Additionally, you will be invited to internal parties, dinners, and social evenings in general. It's the perfect place to meet new like-minded students!

Where and when do we usually meet?

We usually meet at Kvarteret on the 3rd floor every Wednesday, from 16:00 to 20:00. Feel free to drop by for a casual chat!
