RTI presents a RIoT lunch and learn on the IIC's layered databus design pattern for the IIoT. Industrial systems requiring millisecond response times like autonomous vehicles, patient monitoring, and the power grid can’t push data up to the cloud for live decision making. Latencies across the wide-area network mean those decisions arrive too late. For real-time response, data must be shared and acted on locally. Some data, however, may need to be pooled via the cloud to work with back-end systems for billing, analytics, diagnostics, and other enterprise level applications. What are the recommended design patterns to satisfy both needs? Join this lunch and learn for an overview of the “big 3” architectural patterns recommended by the Industrial Internet of Things Reference Architecture. A live walkthrough of the Layered Databus pattern will demonstrate real-time, millisecond control at the edge coupled with enterprise connectivity all the way back to the Web.

3D TSV technology is becoming a key solution platform for heterogeneous interconnection, high end memory and performance applications. TSVs have been adopted for MEMS, Sensors, and Memory devices. What will the next technology driver be? Through-silicon vias (TSVs) have now become the preferred interconnect choice for high-end memory. They are also an enabling technology for heterogeneous integration of logic circuits with CMOS image sensors (CIS), MEMS, sensors, and radio frequency (RF) filters. In the near future they will also enable photonics and LED function integration. The market for 3D TSV and 2.5D interconnect is expected to reach around two million wafers in 2020, expanding at a 22% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The growth is driven by increased adoption of 3D memory devices in high-end graphics, high-performance computing, networking and data centers, and penetration into new areas, including fingerprint and ambient light sensors, RF filters and LEDs. CIS still commanded more than 70% % share of TSV market wafer volume in 2015, although this will decrease to around 60% by 2020. This is primarily due to the growth of the other TSV applications, led by 3D memories, RF filters and fingerprint sensors (FPS). However, hybrid stacked technology, which uses direct copper-copper bonding, not TSVs, will penetrate around 30% of CIS production by 2020. The TSV markets for RF filters and FPS are expected to reach around $1.6B and $0.5B by 2020 respectively. The report will explain the market’s dynamics and give an overview of all segments and key markets. It will also provide market data in terms of revenues, units and wafer starts for all the different segments, including market share.

Erik Kaju from Wise will give a talk “From 50 to 500 product engineers – data-driven approach to building impactful and efficient product teams”. Product engineering is data-driven. It is best to avoid personal opinions and back actions with data. Sharing data transparently and making it broadly accessible within the whole company helps to scale and build faster. Data-driven practices are useful beyond just product development. Over the years, we have been systematic and methodological in how we scale the company and track its health. This is a story of Wise growing from a regular-sized with 50 engineers to one with 500. While our headcount has grown tenfold, the speed of our releasing and ability to deliver complex projects has risen significantly. It is crucial for the scale-up to not slow down. And that is only possible with effective and unhampered teams. Join Erik for fresh insights that will inspire you to grow your teams, track their health and experiment with team metrics. (Language – English) Erik is Director of Engineering at Wise.

Change is inevitable. So is legacy. And too often, we as developers (who love to solve problems by coding) fall into the trap of believing the only way to fix it is by rewriting everything again and again. But how can we design an application architecture that is more resilient to change in the first place? How can we defend against entropy in a system where people are pushing changes every day? In this talk we’ll define what architecture means for the frontend, dispel some commonly-held myths, and look at specific tools and techniques on a scale from micro to macro that you can use today to keep your app from turning into that infamous ball of mud.

JavaScript can be a passive-aggressive and fickle language that can frustrate you at every turn. It lets you do things like declare variables anywhere, but doesn’t tell you that it will hoist them while you’re not looking. Learn how JavaScript organizes data by using key-based dictionaries and how it handles functions behind the scenes. Additionally, you'll learn how JavaScript uses arrow functions, closures, prototypes and inheritance, equality, and more. In this session, you'll learn little known facts about JavaScript, as well as frequently experienced JavaScript headaches and mistakes, and ways to avoid them. Learn these key facets of JavaScript and take your knowledge to the next level!

Front-end developers have grown accustomed to protecting themselves from attackers seeking to exploit vectors such as cross-site scripting and malicious input, but the prevalence of reusable micro-libraries in the Node.js ecosystem makes JavaScript developers particularly susceptible to software supply chain attacks. In this session Mitch will share his perspective on helping to protect Microsoft and its customers from these supply chain attacks and what it is like being the vendor of an artifact management service which often plays the middleman between target and victim. Learn how Microsoft tackles the problem of securely taking dependencies on open source software and what problems scanning tools can and can’t solve and thoughts on how we as an industry could start to tackle the problem for 0-day malicious packages.

V8 is complicated. Things change way too fast and it’s really hard to keep track of what’s the fastest way of doing every specific action. But not anymore. Join me, a V8 contributor, on a journey through the compilation pipeline of V8 and understand how it all works under the hood. We’ll take the example of a popular JavaScript builtin method and find that what does and does not trigger de-optimization. By the end of the talk, you will have a fairly decent idea of how builtins are written inside the V8 compilation pipeline, and how to make sure you always take the fast path, no matter what.

The main topic of this talk is a short introduction to Storybook.js, JavaScript library that allows us to create independent and interactive UX components from already existing ones, developed in frameworks such as Angular, React or Vue. Reusing the components, we create an isolated environment that can be shared within the organization and enable a collaboration between designers and developers on a whole new level. Different use-cases will be described using Angular as a framework of choice with practical examples.

This talk will cover the whole UX development process and many choices that we as a team did, to get where we are now. When you think about frontend, it’s not just a developers who writes Javascript. If you want to make it right, you need UX researchers, UX designers, UI designers, Visual Designers, Technical writers and, of course, UX developers. I would like to talk about each roll in short and how they help and why you should have all of them to achieve best results. After that I want to go into more technical details on why EmberJs (its not so trendy, right?). How we work with ES6 and why we see future in Typescript. I will structure a talk in terms of a “technical challenge – pros/cons – why we’ve chose A and not B”. For example: We have 16 applications internal and external. Why we have them separate and not a single app. We had ~8-10 internal packages and we’ve merged them into 2. Why we’ve did that and why benefits out-weighted cons? Also, from the talk point, I want to start with a real Cybersecurity case and how how it gets solved

Page load times can influence conversion rates and store profitability a lot. PWA is a magic keyword that can deliver fast page load times and happy customers that buy a lot. PWA was coming to Magento, there were several competing solutions, but we wanted to be the best and stand out. Being the most certified Magento agency in the world Scandiweb wanted to make something that is both compatible with default Magneto, but also easier to use and faster. So this is a story of looking at competitors and finding our niche as well as building on experience gained by creating solutions for the world’s top brands. The talk will share approaches investigated and selected and look into tips and tricks used to get out most of React, Webpack, Mobx and other cool frontend tools. There is also some GraphQl and aspects of integration with Magento.

Redux is one of the most popular technologies for the management of shared state across entire React applications, which can be complemented by Redux Observable to describe asynchronous side effects with RxJS. This approach, however, adds cognitive load when balancing the varying concepts across these three libraries. What if we could use RxJS exclusively for managing state in our React apps? This talk will demonstrate this possibility and the benefits it provides.
