In this session, we will go step by step through the creation of a Google App Engine (GAE) application using the Java Runtime. This will be a beginner level session with respect to Google App Engine, but, a good understanding of how to build web applications in Java will be assumed. The code of the twitter bot sample application is available online.
Even though android is powerful mobile operating system platform still there are few pitfalls. One of them is memory optimization to ensure user never run out of space and do you know how to do it.

Writing a Search Engine. How hard could it be?Anthony Brown
5 of the most dangerous words you'll hear a developer say are "How hard could it be?". This talk tells the tale of what happens when you act on the question of "I'm going to write the next Google beater. How hard could it be?" This is the tale of how one person in a few hours is able to write something resembling a search engine thanks to the platform features of Azure and the productivity of F#. We'll see how we're able to use Azure search from F# to easily power our search internals, we'll use MBrace to rapidly find the most popular web pages on the internet and Azure functions to tie everything together to build up APIs and create on demand infrastructure. Add in a healthy mix of queues provided by Azure Service Bus and if you squint hard enough, you might just end up seeing something resembling a search engine.
But seriously writing the next Google, just how hard could it be?

Data Transfer between Activities & DatabasesMuhammad Sajid
Data Transfer between Activities & Databases, Content Provider:
Content Provider will act as a central repository to store the data of the application in one place and make that data available for different applications to access whenever it’s required.
the Content Provider is a part of an android application and it will act as more like the relational database to store the app data. We can perform multiple operations like insert, update, delete and edit on the data stored in the content provider using insert(), update(), delete(), and query() methods.

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.
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.
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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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.

5. The quick & dirty and wrong approach
Activity Adapter
Thread - worker
Rest Method Processor
Memory
6. Android Laws
Foreground Apps.
must have the resources they need
Visible activity or running service.
Should keep running.
As long as it does not break #1
Background Apps
kept in memory to reduce start up and latency time.
As long as it does not break #1 or #2.
7. Implications:
Android may (and will) shut down your process.
Background apps should be ready to die
Handle onPause() and onStop().
Background apps should be “thin”.
Being good android citizen increases your chances to live
longer.
8. The quick & dirty and wrong approach
Killed during transaction
Request may or may not executed on server side.
No persistence data
High latency.
Waste of bandwidth.
Waste of battery
11. Service
Service is designed to run in the background.
Has no user interface.
Runs on main thread (i.e. UI thread)
You still need to create a worker thread.
12. Service
Activity
Data Processor Storage
Rest Method
Service
13. Activity ↔ Service interface
Starting the service:
Activity.startService(Intent I).
Initiating transactions and getting results:
Binder interface.
Intent interface.
20. Service
Activity
Data Processor Storage
Rest Method
Service
21. Data Processor
Holds a “mirror” of the data in the server.
Runs before and after each transaction.
Before Post / Put:
Prepare transaction data
Create DB row with status “updating”
After Post / Put:
Clear the “updating” status.
22. Data Processor
Before Delete;
Set status to “DELETING”
After Delete:
Delete DB row.
Before GET
After GET
Update DB
23. Service
Activity
Wrapper
Data Processor Storage
Rest Method
Service
24. Service Wrapper
Singletone.
Exposes simple async API to be used by UI.
Upon service request:
Check if method is already pending.
Create intent.
Generate req id.
Hold binder.
Return Req id.
Handle callback from the service.
25. Handling service callback - Activity
Activity has its own lifecycle.
Activity is still active when the response arrives.
Activity is paused, resumed and then the response
arrives.
Activity is paused with the response arrives, and than
resumed.
Adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() when needed.
39. Summary
Don't implement REST method in Activity / UI
layer.
Long running ops should run inside a service
And don't forget worker thread.
Persist early, persist often
Don't download what you already know.
Don't make me go crazy.
Sync adapter for non critical BG operations.
