The web today is far more than your server stack! Content is combined with a rich interactive layer of JavaScript and mashed up with external social, advertising, or service providers. All this into a rapidly changing environment of new browsers, new rendering engines, new libraries, and new plugins. My founders and I at {Track:js} believe that JavaScript can and should be better--we should know about our errors--and we should fix them! It's our mission to give you the tools to do this. Let's talk about why you should care about your clientside errors, and how to build a basic implementation. Then I'd like to show you how {Track:js} can accelerate it, improving quality, and giving you more context about your errors than you thought possible!

When people mention startup hubs, San Francisco, Boston, and now even New York come up right away. But after returning from the West coast in mid 2011, Eli Aleyner and Mani Fazeli saw huge potential in Toronto’s booming startup community. Amazing talent, great universities and new startup accelerators have them believing that Toronto can be part of this short list. That’s why they are Managing Directors of FounderDating for Toronto – working to solve what they believe is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs today – connecting with the right people to get started.

How different is software and IC development? Let's answer with a relative estimation: It's as different as soccer and basketball. Besides both being team sports and the goal to score more points than the other team, everything else if different. If software and IC development are that different, why should Agile work in an IC development environment? Wait! Let's have a closer look. There are more commonalities as you can see on the first glance. IC development also requires satisfying customer requirements as early as possible, deals with changing requirements, needs to have frequent product releases and requires technical excellence and good design. And these are certainly areas where agile principles have been proven to be successful. As an IC development organization for an embedded microcontroller we experienced over the last projects that the "game" changed. While projects got more complex and development cycle times longer, customers required products earlier than before and new requirements came up more frequently. It was time to change the way we play! This talk demonstrates how we changed our existing IC development flow to an Agile IC development process. It shows which agile practices we’ve chosen and how we applied them to our development process. It shows the challenges we faced in the transition and the success stories we experienced. It also gives an outlook how the process can be even more agile.

Last week me and Stephen Thomas presented to our company's UXC Luncheon. This is a quarterly event open to all the different User Experience groups in the company. Our topic was upcoming trends in Design and technology. This is actually the fifth time I've presented a presentation like this one, starting back in 2005. While some trends are still developing, there are some new and interesting things that will shape the years to come.

Mobile development offers a lot of options. To develop native apps, you can use Java or Kotlin on Android. On iOS, you can use Objective C or Swift. There are other options, too. You can build hybrid mobile apps and Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). Hybrid mobile apps are those created with web technologies (HTML, JavaScript, and CSS) that look like native apps. PWAs have the ability to work offline and act like mobile apps. In this talk, we'll explore a few different mobile technologies: Ionic 4 (with Angular), React Native, and PWAs. You'll walk away with knowledge of how to build mobile + Spring Boot apps in minutes with JHipster. * GitHub repo: https://github.com/mraible/mobile-jhipster * Demo script: https://github.com/mraible/mobile-jhipster/blob/master/demo.adoc

We specialize in Psychic Readings, Psychic Love Spells, Binding Love Spells, Obsession Spells, Voodoo Spells, Lottery Spells, Marriage Spells, Black Magic Spells, Palm Readings & much more. Are you depressed? We perform this come-to-me love spell that works instantly with the aim of bringing back the victim to the person performing the magic. Have you lost your lover? We perform this come-to-me love spell that works instantly with the aim of bringing back the victim to the person performing the magic. Have you lost your lover? Do u need to solve any relationship problem? Contact the powerful spells caster chief kule with love spells that work overnight and love spells that really work. Have you found yourself infatuated with a special someone you think could be the one? Are you looking for a spell to provide them with a nudge in the right direction? Or maybe the spell you cast didn’t achieve the results you were hoping for? Whether you’re new or versed in the ways of spell casting, we’re here to help. Today we’re going to provide you with a detailed guide on the types of love spells to cast. Not only that but there’s something for those who wish to find outside advice from more advanced spell casters. We’re also going to provide you with the top sites available to help you with your dilemma. Let’s begin our journey by educating ourselves on love magic and what a real love caster looks like. Love Magic and Love Casters Love magic made its first appearance back in Ancient Egypt and has been an active practice since. This type of magic is a branch of traditional magic and can be practiced in various ways. Typically the more common use of love magic is through the work of spells, but other methods look like Charms Rituals-LOVE Potions-Dolls and even Amulets If you are interested in becoming a love caster, be prepared for what’s to come. A genuine love caster knows that the art of love casting is no easy feat and shouldn’t be done casually. You should know that not only does it require you to be gifted spiritually, but you must be ready to serve others. Someone who is considered a real love caster has experience in all manner of spells, no matter the difficulty. Training yourself in attraction, commitment, and marriage spells is an excellent place to start. But this by no means will make you a professional. Practice your craft and expand your knowledge; understand that you will possess the ability to help others in time truly. Types of Love Spells What better way to start broadening your experiences with love spells than by learning more about them? These spells work like just about any other spell. Simply apply your intention, use a medium (sigils, mantras, candles, or charm bags), and top it off with establishing the belief that you will receive what you want. So what kind of spells are available and which ones suit your needs the best? Let’s take a look at the many options you have at your disposal.

ADR, or Architecture Decision Record, is a valuable tool in software development for several reasons. It provides a centralized location for documenting and tracking architectural decisions, aiding both current and future team members. ADRs enhance communication among team members by documenting the rationale behind architectural decisions, especially beneficial during onboarding of new team members or when revisiting decisions. They serve as a knowledge base, enabling teams to learn from past decisions and refine their decision-making process. Additionally, ADRs contribute to transparency by helping stakeholders understand the reasons behind specific architectural choices. As with any other tool or process, introducing them into an organization can face several obstacles, and overcoming these challenges is crucial for successful implementation. In this talk I go through some common problems and our way of solving them.

Modeling languages are generally applied for developing systems and software – both internally, with domain-specific languages, and with standardized languages targeting a general purpose and a wide audience. Way too often these languages are weakly created and defined leading to poor quality: Language definitions tend to contain errors and inconsistencies; notations do not recognize the communication and problem-solving needs of humans; standardization organizations push exchange formats that do not fully work and offer certificates that do not measure mastery of the language. We describe common problems in language development and point them out with examples from known cases. To overcome these problems, we suggest several solutions to improve language development, including using modeling languages specifically designed to define modeling languages, continuous testing and prototyping, and keeping language users in the loop.
