Scripts that Scale with F# and mbrace.io:
Nothing beats interactive scripting for productive data exploration and rapid prototyping: grab data, run code, and iterate based on feedback. However, that story starts to break down once you need to process large datasets or expensive computations. Your local machine becomes the bottleneck, and your are left with a slow and unresponsive environment.
In this talk, we will demonstrate on live examples how you can have your cake and eat it, too, using mbrace.io, a free, open-source engine for scalable cloud programming. Using a simple programming model, you can keep working from your favorite scripting environment, and execute code interactively against a cluster on the Azure cloud. We will discuss the relevance of F# and mbrace in a data science and machine learning context, from parallelizing code and data processing in a functional style, to leveraging F# type providers to consume data or even run R packages.

Pharo Consortium: A roadmap to solid evolutionESUG
Title: Pharo Consortium: A roadmap to solid evolution.
Type:
Abstract: The Pharo Consortium takes action to guarantee the growth of Pharo as a community organisation as well as supports its development into ever-changing requirements of today’s computing needs.
In this talk I will present the current status of Pharo Consortium, its consolidation as Pharo governance structure and the actions taken to make Pharo a more robust environment.
I will also review the Pharo 7 development and direction for Pharo 8 and beyond.
Bio: Esteban Lorenzano studied Computer Sciences at Universidad de Buenos Aires, and worked since 1994 in several object-oriented and low-level technologies, in different software companies, serving in various positions from programmer to senior architect.
In 2007 he co-founded Smallworks to offer Pharo-based agile development projects. Since 2012 he dedicated full time to developing the Pharo code and community.
He works with the INRIA-RMoD team in Lille, France, as core developer for Pharo, being responsible with the coordination of new releases, the implementation and maintenance of Pharo libraries and the maintenance of the Pharo flavour of the Cog Virtual Machine, FFI integration and plugins in all major platforms (OSX, Linux and Windows).
The roadmap of Pharo 7 and Pharo 8.
Pharo is a pure object-oriented programming language and a powerful environment, focused on simplicity and immediate feedback (think IDE and OS rolled into one).
This talk will explore how we REBOOTED our Project Design. After a decade of production usage, the RavenDB team addressed a lot of ongoing concerns & changed some of RavenDB's core architecture.
We'll investigate the driving forces behind it, the reasoning process & look at how it all turned out.

Updated version of the Lecture. VUB Brussels, Ocotber 2018
Smalltalk provides many reflective features, yet behavioral reflection is limited. Pharo provides reflective features that go beyond standard Smalltalk.
The lecture will present Reflectivity, a framework for fine-grained behavioral reflection. It allows to annotate the AST with MetaLinks, alowing meta-objects to change behavior down to a single operation.
After a overview of the framework, we show how MetaLinks are used in Pharo to realize IDE tools such as BreakPoints and Code Coverage.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.
