CI/CD Pipeline as a Code using Jenkins 2Mayank Patel
Mayank Patel from Oildex gave a presentation on Jenkins 2 Pipelines. He discussed how pipelines allow continuous delivery through features like resilience, pausability, and efficiency. Pipelines can be configured as code in source control and provide security and reusability. The presentation covered the Jenkins environment, ideal pipeline flows, important plugins, and included a demo of a sample pipeline configured with Docker.
Jenkins Pipeline uses a master-slave architecture to execute builds across multiple nodes. The Jenkinsfile defines the continuous delivery pipeline using Declarative or Scripted syntax. It contains stages for building, testing, and deploying with steps to define tasks. Maven is used to manage dependencies and build processes. It defines projects using a POM file containing identifiers, dependencies, repositories, plugins, and build configuration.
The document outlines a branching and merging strategy with the following key elements:
1. It defines a branching model with a single master branch containing stable code and separate branches for sprints, features, fixes, and releases.
2. It establishes naming conventions for branches based on the sprint, major/minor release, and feature number. POM versions will also follow this convention.
3. It describes workflows for creating branches from the appropriate source branches and merging code with pull requests and testing.

Subversion is a leading open source version control system that provides features for:
- Backing up data and configuration management through atomic commits to a centralized repository.
- Distributed development via easy branching and tagging of project files and revisions.
- Integrations for Windows, Linux, Unix, and web-based access through modules like Apache.
Steve Povilaitis presented on continuous deployment and its benefits. Continuous deployment involves continuous developer integrations and deployments executed by automatic builds. It reduces risk by integrating code changes frequently through automated testing and deployment. The presentation outlined a roadmap for implementing continuous deployment practices like version control, automated builds, testing, and deployment through tools like Jenkins.
This document provides an overview of continuous integration and deployment using Jenkins. It discusses why CI is needed, defines CI and continuous deployment, introduces Jenkins as a popular CI tool, and describes how Jenkins implements distributed builds using a master-slave architecture. Key points covered include how CI provides continuous feedback to developers, how Jenkins integrates various DevOps stages, and how the master schedules jobs and monitors slaves that execute builds.
Continuous integration involves developers committing code changes daily which are then automatically built and tested. Continuous delivery takes this further by automatically deploying code changes that pass testing to production environments. The document outlines how Jenkins can be used to implement continuous integration and continuous delivery through automating builds, testing, and deployments to keep the process fast, repeatable and ensure quality.
Maven is close to ubiquitous in the world of enterprise Java, and the Maven dependency ecosystem is the de facto industry standard. However, the traditional Maven build and release strategy, based on snapshot versions and carefully planned releases, is difficult to reconcile with modern continuous delivery practices, where any commit that passes a series of quality-control gateways can qualify as a release. How can teams using the standard Maven release process still leverage the benefits of continuous delivery? This presentation discusses strategies that can be used to implement continuous delivery solutions with Maven and demonstrates one such strategy using Maven, Jenkins, and Git.
This document provides an introduction to Subversion (SVN), a version control system. It describes key SVN concepts like the repository, trunk, branches, and tags. The trunk contains the main codebase, branches are for experimental work, and tags save stable versions. SVN allows developers to track changes, rollback mistakes, experiment safely without breaking the main code, and collaborate effectively. It works by having a central repository that all developers update and commit their code to. This ensures everyone works from the latest version and changes can be merged automatically. The document outlines best practices like using branches for new features, tagging stable builds, committing with detailed messages, and updating frequently.
This document provides an overview of the key operations in the Subversion (SVN) version control system life cycle. It describes creating a repository, checking out a working copy, updating changes from the repository, performing edits and other changes locally, reviewing pending changes, fixing mistakes by reverting changes, and resolving conflicts when merging changes. The main operations covered are checkout, update, commit, status, diff, revert, and merge.
This document describes the Maven release process which involves checking in code, preparing a release by updating POMs and tagging the code, performing the release by deploying artifacts, and rolling back a release if needed. The release:prepare goal updates POMs, runs tests, and commits/tags the code. The release:perform goal checks out the tagged code, runs tests, and deploys artifacts. A single command can prepare and perform the release. Best practices include doing a dry run to simulate SCM operations before an actual release.
This document discusses using Jenkins to assist with peer code reviews by providing guidance on review time needed based on lines of code, automatically adding reviewers, and linking to review checklists. It notes the benefits of peer code review like reduced defects and increased productivity. Studies show code review is more effective at finding defects than testing. The document calls for sponsors and test pilots to try out integrating these ideas into Jenkins for automated and guided peer reviews.

These include requirements documentation, architecture readiness for continuous delivery, infrastructure readiness, building a pipeline, and integrating quality assurance such as testing, security, and configuration checks into the pipeline.
The document outlines guidelines for versioning a product through its development lifecycle stages including alpha, beta, release candidate, RTM, and general availability, with version numbers following the format of PRODUCT (Stage-Number) Major.Minor.Revision to indicate the stage, build number, and changes made. Key stages include alpha for internal testing, beta for external user testing, release candidate when features are complete and only bugs remain, and general availability when the product is broadly released.
This document provides an overview of source code management and version control systems. It discusses traditional methods of saving code versions, introduces centralized and distributed version control systems, and covers common terms and processes used in version control like branching, committing, tagging, and logging. It also provides a high-level overview of using Git for version control tasks like initializing a repository, adding/committing code, branching, merging, and viewing logs or diffs of changes.
The document provides an overview of using Subversion (SVN) for source code control, including how to set up SVN clients and servers, basic and advanced SVN commands, best practices for usage, and how to install the VisualSVN server software. SVN allows developers to concurrently edit and manage different versions of code through features like revision tracking, merging, branching and locking files during edits. The document recommends using SVN for both individual developers and development teams to avoid issues with shared network drives and provides instructions for getting started with clients like TortoiseSVN and servers like VisualSVN.
Automating your build process with Continuous Integration is certainly a great idea, but why stop there? Why not go the whole nine yards and automate the deployment process as well? Staging and production deployments are typically more complicated and more involved than a simple development deployment, but doing them by hand can be time-consuming, tricky and error-prone. Indeed, turning your staging and production deployments into a one-click affair has a lot going for it.

Infinum iOS Talks #2 - Xamarin by Ivan ĐikićInfinum
The document discusses three common approaches to mobile app development: native, hybrid, and Xamarin. It focuses on explaining the Xamarin approach. Key points:
- Xamarin allows writing apps in C# that can target iOS and Android from a single codebase.
- It works by compiling to a common language runtime and using platform invocation to call native platform APIs.
- Developers get access to the full native platform functionality while sharing most of the app's code across platforms.
Infinum iOS Talks #1 - Swift under the hood: Method Dispatching by Vlaho PolutaInfinum
This document discusses method dispatching in Swift. It explains that method dispatch determines which method is invoked in response to a message. In C++ and Objective-C, methods can use static or dynamic dispatch. Static dispatch is determined at compile-time, while dynamic dispatch is determined at runtime. The document also shows how Swift can generate Objective-C classes and use the runtime, with Swift classes being Objective-C classes under the hood. It demonstrates through benchmarks that Swift code can be as fast or faster than equivalent Objective-C code.
Infinum iOS Talks #1 - Swift done right by Ivan DikicInfinum
The document discusses four main pillars of Swift programming: value types, higher-order functions, protocols, and generics. For value types, it explains that structs and enums keep unique copies of data unlike classes which share data. It provides examples of higher-order functions like map, filter and reduce. Protocols are described as a way to achieve composition over inheritance in Swift. Generics allow writing type-agnostic code through placeholders like <T>. Optionals represent the concept of nothingness in Swift by allowing a type to hold either a value or nothing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
