Intro to programming and how to start that careerTarek Alabd
That was my talk with Mofakroon team.
That was an intro to programming.
What is programming and programming languages?
Why should we learn programming?
12 benefits from learning programming.
Why all these programming languages?
What is he best programming language?
Everything about programming and how to lean the basics.
If you attended Parts I & II of our series, you've probably figured out who you need on your team and how to talk intelligently to them. Now you need to find some engineers who will work with you. Come hear Alan Chiu (GSB MSx '11, Partner @ XSeed) talk about the engineer's perspective - what gets them excited? What do they look for in teams or founders? Alan will also talk to Bhaskar about how he's developed his relationship with the business team, what he and his engineers look for, and what their most common pet peeves are (in terms of behaviors from business colleagues).
How do you know if you have too much process, too little, or just the right amount? If you ignore process completely, unpredictability and chaos can follow. If you define the process to the nth degree and follow it religiously, the work grinds to a halt. Janet Gregory shares her experiences about how to find the tastiest balance of process and creativity for your projects and organization. She proposes that a formally defined process is sometimes necessary, but that it should be the exception. Explore with Janet the many variables—team size, complexity, criticality, organization structure, and culture—you must assess to find just the right balance. Learn how to make existing processes better by adding visibility to the process, getting team members’ input, and adapting documentation you need. Learn how to transform complicated processes into simpler ones—such as reporting a simple “thumbs up” or “thumbs down”—and go home with new tools to sprinkle on just enough process.
Ruby, JavaScript, Scrum, Node.js -- Does this sound like a foreign language to you?
After a successful kick-off with MSx Alum and XSeed Partner, Alan Chiu, the Tech 4 Non-Tech Series continues with Tech Speak. Join Alex De Simone (MS Mech Eng '11, MBA '16, Co-Founder of Jobr & Caller Zen) in an interactive session that will have you talking tech intelligently!

A proposed agile systems engineering manifestoHazel Woodcock
As presented at INCOSE UK ASEC 2013. This is a proposal for modification to the agile manifesto and principles to make them fit for purpose for systems engineering. Following discussion at the event, further changes will be made to this proposal in the future.
Managing Application Performance: A Simplified Universal ApproachTechWell
In response to increasing market demand for well-performing applications, many organizations implement performance testing programs, often at great expense. Sadly, these solutions alone are often insufficient to keep pace with emerging expectations and competitive pressures. Scott Barber shares the fundamentals of implementing T4APM™ including specific examples from recent client implementations. T4APM™ is a simple and universal approach that is valuable independently or as an extension of existing performance testing programs. The approach hinges on applying a simple and unobtrusive "Target, Test, Trend, Tune” cycle to tasks in your application lifecycle—from a single unit test through entire system production monitoring. Leveraging T4APM™ on a particular task may require knowledge specific to the task, but learning how to leverage the approach does not. Scott provides everything you need to become the T4APM™ coach and champion, and to help your team keep up with increasing demand for better performance, regardless of your current title or role.

Agile Estimation and Planning: Scrum, Kanban, and BeyondTechWell
If you are new to agile methods—or trying to improve your estimation and planning skills—this session is for you. David Hussman brings years of experience coaching teams on how to employ XP, lean, Scrum, and kanban. He advises teams to obtain the estimating skills they need from these approaches rather than following a prescribed process. From start to finish, David focuses on learning from estimates as you learn to estimate. He covers skills and techniques from story point estimating delivered within iterations to planning without estimates by delivering a continuous flow of value. Going beyond the simple mechanics of estimation and planning, David explores agile techniques to enable continuous learning and ways to prevent sprint planning sessions from becoming empty rituals. Join David and your peers to practice your agile estimation and planning techniques so they can become powerful tools within your project.

Many people think Legacy Code is "bad code". However, from my perspective legacy code is far more than bad code. Bad code is better if we compare it with 3 others situations including "No Source Code", "No standard build" and "No version".
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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

36. We follow these principles:
Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.
Continuous attention to technical excellence
and good design enhances agility.
Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
of work not done--is essential.The best architectures, requirements, and
designs
emerge from self-organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts
its behavior accordingly.
Thursday, May 9, 13
37. Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software frequently, from a
couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals.
Give them the environment and support they need,
and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a development
team is face-to-face conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of progress
Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
