About the NexWerk Workshop

The NexWerk Workshop was born from the heart of the philosophy of the Software Craftsmanship Movement.

We believe in software as a long term investment and live accordingly; improving our craft day by day through deliberate practice honing our skills. We strongly believe that adding steadily value to our customers business can only be achieved by technical excellence and a productive and long lasting partnership.

We contribute to the community sharing our software (in the form of open source libraries and tools) and by giving seminars and training courses that will help other aspiring craftsmen and professionals to work more productively.

The etymology of the word NexWerk lies in the fusion of two words Nexus and Werk:

nexus |ˈneksəs|

a connection or series of connections linking two or more things : the nexus between industry and political power.
a connected group or series : a nexus of ideas.
the central and most important point or place : the nexus of all this activity was the disco.

ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Latin, ‘a binding together,’ from nex- ‘bound,’ from the verb nectere.
work |wərk|

1 activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result : he was tired after a day's work in the fields. See note at labor.

ORIGIN Old English weorc (noun), wyrcan (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch werk and German Werk, from an Indo-European root shared by Greek ergon.
