Kiwi software developer based in Berlin, Germany.

I'm passionate about writing code that won't make someone want to kill me in a few years time. To that end I'm interested in Domain Driven Design, TDD and design patterns.

comment Is there a good sourcebook for practice exercises?
What level are you at? For A2/B1 I found this amazon.de/… book very good, and for B2/C1 the same publishers have amazon.de/… (you need to buy the solution books separately)

comment Nominative / accusative - what to use with preposition “als” and constructions like “John the engineer”?
For a verb that takes the konjunktion als - could one here convey a very similar meaning betrachten? "Sie betrachten Johannes, den Ingenieur, als den wichtigsten Fachmann ihrer Firma"

comment Forming compound sentence using 'and' and 'because'
I'll leave the answer to those who know this properly (I'm only just beginning C1, so likely have errors in terminology) but the issue here is that weil is a subjunktion, not a conjunction. The rule for subjunktions is that they introduce a nebensatz with all the verbs going at the end (where modal verbs and haben/sein come at the very end after other verbs - you sort of grab all the verbs that are usually at the front and tack them on the end in reverse order). From my memory of A2 you should be introduced to the subjunktions in the next few weeks - with weil being one of the very first!
