This document provides guidance on how to approach and answer Question 1: Retrieval questions. It instructs students to read the question carefully and highlight important words. It advises writing 4-5 relevant points using short quotes from the text as evidence. Introductory sentences should mention the purpose of the article and intended audience. Students are warned against making unsupported claims and instead should stick to accurately summarizing what is learned from the text. A variety of transition words and phrases are provided to help write clear, well-structured responses.
This presentation addresses the three parts of a well-organized paragraph i.e. the topic sentence, the supporting sentences, and the concluding sentence.

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

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.

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!
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:

Editor's Notes
Explain to students that the tools they need are, simply, a pen and a highlighter. As well as their brains and hard work!
Ask students what they recall about this question. Remind them of the details on the slide. For C/D borderline students, 3-4 relevant points may be more realistic; rather than becoming anxious about finding more points, they should focus on good explanations of what they are able to retrieve from the text. Remind students that they are not analysing, but that they must explain the points they take from the text to showing they understand the article.
Remind students of Step 1 – reading the question and highlighting the key words (what they’ll have to ‘retrieve’ and write about in their answer). As a class (or in groups or pairs) discuss what key words should be highlighted in the examples of retrieval questions on the slide. This could be printed off as a handout (though this may slow things down).
Step 3 is writing the response. Warn students about spending too much time thinking or writing about this; an awareness of purpose and audience should be summarised in one sentence (as well as implicitly shown in a good answer). Explain to students that, essentially, the question itself will give them hints about the puropse of the text, and that in Text 1, purposes are usually the basic kinds mentioned on this slide. Discourage students from speculating about the audience. If it’s not clear, the general phrases about readership mentioned on the slide are sufficient and safer!
Show students these examples. Think, pair, share.
Show students these examples. Think, pair, share.
Modelling, using some highlights students have already made, is a good idea. This could be done on the whiteboard, with the next slide (which provides useful words and phrases) on the IWB. Students should then, in their groups, carefully construct a response. Give them 10 minutes (the approximate time they will have in the exam) to write. Choose a fast scribe, and encourage plenty of discussion and oral drafting from all members of the group.
Students should ONLY use words / phrases they’re comfortable with. There’s no time to experiment! Column 1: Useful connectives to organise a response (and ensure enough distinct points are being made). Column 2: Active verbs that may be used, referring to the text. Column 2: Passive, and then active, sentence constructions that may be used when referring to the reader or audience .
Students can swap this attempt with someone else in the class for them to peer assess against the mark scheme. Please make students aware that this is only a sample mark scheme; each mark scheme is slightly tailored to the content of Text 1 (the third bullet point).
