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!
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
2. What is an ad network?
An advertising network
(or ‘ad network’) is a company
that connects online publishers
who want to host
advertisements with

trapped by a reach vs. relevancy ‘curse’
High
Search marketing THE ‘CURSE’:
Index key words
Diminishing reach
through search
to gain relevancy
e.g., Baidu (China)

Contextual targeting
Google (U.S.)
Index page content to
target
e.g., NarrowAd (China)
Google AdSense (U.S.) Vertical

Advertising.com (U.S.) Index site content e.g., Sina (China)
Excite (U.S.)

Scale/Reach
5. Behavioral targeting advertising solves the
problem by delivering ads against audience
Behavioral
targeting is
not about
page
Different
persons will
see
different
ads when
landing on
the same
page
6. Behavioral audience segments are built on
observable behaviors
• Recency, frequency and volume of visits to content relevant to an
interest
• Active searches for information relevant to the interest
• Use of tools, surveys and quizzes, etc.
• Ad interactions (clicks, downloads, demo views, games played,
etc.)
• SNS activities
7. Behavioral targeting ad network business model
Advertisers Operator Publishers
• Advertisers pay BT • Behavioral targeting • The operator gets ad
network operator to operator delivers BT inventory from publishers
deliver behavioral targeted ad on the and after delivering target
targeting ad publishers network ad on the publishers,
shares revenue with the
publishers on CPM or CPC
basis
8. Behavioral targeting is typically supported by
sophisticated ad serving technology
Leading BT ad serving technology: Self learning profiling system:
• Fully scalable • Proprietary profiling database
• Real time targeting
• Proprietary self-learning
algorithm
10. Different BT algorithms
• Assign each visitor to one and
Cluster only one segment
• Target visitors who have done X
Business rule events in Y days or Y events in X
days
• Automate business rules to identify
the ideal recency and frequency of
Predictive activities that best correlate with
brand and performance goals
11. Behavioral targeting ad network is estimated to be over
US$ 2 billion by 2015 in China

Other format of internet ad
• Overall market is
Behavioral ad
growing at 29.9% CAGR
CAGR=29.9%
• Behavioral targeting
will be the fastest
growing category,
expected to reach
20-30% of the overall
spend by 2015, or
$1.5-2 billion.

12. Advertisers’ perspective
• Better targeting
mechanism
• Easy to buy since it sells
audience instead of page
• Generates better ROI
• Generally better quality
publishers than contextual
ads
13. Case Study: PinYou achieved better ROI for
English education client in China

registration.
PinYou
PinYou solution:
initial
• PinYou firstly targeted people who have visited
English education sites in the past 3 months and
resulted in 6% conversion rate. Other
display
• Later, through model optimization, we found income
level is a key factor that affects the conversion rate, ad
and we adjusted the target audience. As a result,
we improved the conversion rate to 11%.
Search marketing
• The cost per acquisition continues to be lower than
other advertising format.
14. Publishers’ perspective

unsold inventory
• Access to premium
advertisers / non-
vertical advertisers
• Save on sales force

- Making decisions (making mistakes and
correcting them).

21. Key success factor in starting up companies
1. It’s all about the team
2. Persistence is the key
3. Lots of little things (sandwich story)
4. Don’t worry about competition
5. Start with something practical
6. Understand your strength and leverage it
22. PinYou’s business is supported by a powerful team

network
23. Persistence is the key
• Founders always misjudge the market
and are over optimistic.
• You will face all the difficulties you can
ever imagine.
• Don’t expect your company to become
YouTube or Facebook overnight.
• The “trend” is changing over time
( ).
25. Don’t worry too much about competition
• Don’t believe your idea will be “yours only”
• Don’t spend too much time studying your
competitors’ strategy, because they may be
wrong
• PinYou’s case
26. Start with something practical
• Cashflow is key
• Speed is key
• Don’t think you will get funded in a
year
