The document discusses architecting applications for the Windows Azure cloud platform. It covers designing applications with a cloud mindset of unreliable hardware and network connections. It then summarizes the design of a multi-tenant website called Pingy that monitors the availability of external websites. The design progressed through several iterations to improve scalability, availability, and authentication using features of Windows Azure such as worker roles, queues, storage, and AppFabric. Examples and source code for Pingy are provided for further reference.

A High-Performance Solution To Microservices UI CompositionAlexey Gravanov
So you have decided to go for Microservices and you want to achieve maximum autonomy for your teams. However, at the front end your services still have to be joined into a single page.Here you have two options: Either have a single UI layer which all teams depend on or let each service render its own UI and compose these UI pieces later on.
In the course of moving the Autoscout24 platform - one of Europe’s leading internet car portals - to an AWS-hosted Microservice architecture, we favored autonomy and therefore decided for the UI Composition approach. During this process we faced all the challenges of UI Composition, such as performance, consistency, isolation, and testing. Learn how we started off with a rather complex attempt and then managed to greatly improve and simplify our solution.

MongoDB Days Silicon Valley: Building Applications with the MEAN StackMongoDB
Presented by Jason Zucchetto, Curriculum Engineer, MongoDB
Experience level: Introductory
Walk through building a sample application with the MEAN stack (MongoDB-Express-Angular-Node.js). We'll start from the beginning, walking through every component of the MEAN stack, in building a modern web application. The presentation focuses on building MongoMart, a simple application for searching and viewing MongoDB merchandise. You'll walk away with a basic knowledge of MEAN stack components and how to leverage them in building applications.

Vaadin - thinking of U and I - by Peter Lehto
Vaadin (vaadin.com) je Java framework za rapidni razvoj visoko interaktivnih HTML5 web aplikacija na poslužitelju. On sakriva tehnologije prijenosa dokumenata i stanja (DOM, AJAX, JSON) i omogućuje da web aplikacije budu razvijene u Javi prema metafori desktop aplikacija. Vaadin iskorištava svu moć GWT-a, Java-to-JavaScript prevoditelja, pa je moguće razviti cijeli stog web aplikacija i nove komponente na strani klijenta bez napuštanja Java okruženja. Brzi razvoj olakšava veliki izbor komponenata i trenutni deployment na poslužitelj. Vaadin aplikacije koje se izvode na poslužitelju pružaju veliko povećanje sigurnosti, kao i povezivanje Vaadin sučelja na bilo koji postojeći backend sustav.

Microsoft released SQL Azure more than two years ago - that's enough time for testing (I hope!). So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services. In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.

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).

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.

The Metaverse and AI: how can decision-makers harness the Metaverse for their...Jen Stirrup
The Metaverse is popularized in science fiction, and now it is becoming closer to being a part of our daily lives through the use of social media and shopping companies. How can businesses survive in a world where Artificial Intelligence is becoming the present as well as the future of technology, and how does the Metaverse fit into business strategy when futurist ideas are developing into reality at accelerated rates? How do we do this when our data isn't up to scratch? How can we move towards success with our data so we are set up for the Metaverse when it arrives?
How can you help your company evolve, adapt, and succeed using Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse to stay ahead of the competition? What are the potential issues, complications, and benefits that these technologies could bring to us and our organizations? In this session, Jen Stirrup will explain how to start thinking about these technologies as an organisation.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
