The "Cloud" is not just SaaS and production hosting. One of the easiest ways to start with the cloud is to use it for development and testing. Even if your company is concerned about going to the "Cloud". Dev/Test is a huge productivity enhancer, and a way to start small with the Cloud.

From Platform Stickiness to Platform GravitySynata
Synata CEO Pat White discusses the movement from the paradigm of "platform stickiness" to "platform gravity" and what that means for IT and developers.
Companies throw terms like public cloud, dedicated cloud and hybrid cloud environment around daily. Everyone’s abuzz about “the cloud” lately, but what does it all really mean? If you’re looking for clarity when it comes to the cloud platform options available to you, this PowerPoint is right up your alley.

Why Enterprises Are Embracing the CloudRandy Shoup
After being deeply involved in public cloud for the last several years, as both a provider and a consumer, I have been very pleasantly surprised at the rate at which large enterprises are rapidly moving to the cloud. For all the right reasons, even the most regulated and risk-averse of industries -- banking, for example -- are rapidly moving workloads out of their own owned data centers. Public cloud is not just for the "unicorns", but for the "horses" as well. This short vignette, presented at the GOTO Aarhus 2014 conference, tries to explain why this trend will continue and accelerate, and why we should be excited about it.

Tech for the Non Technical - Anatomy of an Application StackIntelligent_ly
Building technology is a practiced skill and indeed an art, but it's not magic. You hire craftsmen and you trust them with the details. But in order to command their respect and sleep well at night, you deserve to have a big-picture understanding of what they're building and why. A little knowledge will go a long way towards confidently leading your technical product team.
Can Your Mobile Infrastructure Survive 1 Million Concurrent Users?Josiah Renaudin
You’re building the next killer mobile app. How do you ensure that your app is both stable and capable of near-instant data updates? Build a backend! But there’s more to building a backend than standing up a SQL server in your datacenter and calling it a day. Since different types of apps demand different backend services, how do you know what sort of backend you need? And, more importantly, how can you ensure that your backend will scale so you can survive an explosion of users that comes from events like being featured in the app store? Siva Katir and Melissa Benua will discuss the common scenarios facing mobile app developers who are looking to expand beyond just the device and will share best practices learned while building the PlayFab and other companies’ backends. Join Siva and Melissa to learn how you can ensure that your app can scale safely and affordably into the millions of concurrent users (CCU) and across multiple platforms.

Concurrency at Scale: Evolution to Micro-ServicesRandy Shoup
Most large-scale web companies have evolved their system architecture from a monolithic application and monolithic database to a set of loosely coupled micro-services. Using examples from Google, eBay, and KIXEYE, this talk outlines the pros and cons of these different stages of evolution, and makes practical suggestions about when and how other organizations should consider migrating to micro-services. It concludes with some more advanced implications of a micro-services architecture, including SLAs, cost-allocation, and vendor-customer relationships within the organization.

Microsoft Testing Tour - Setting up a Test EnvironmentAngela Dugan
How do I set up a dev/test environment?
Today’s applications are more complex than ever and it can be very challenging to set up and maintain these environments. Many organizations resort to a small number of shared environments, but you are trying to keep up with frequent developer builds, concurrent projects, and ever-changing data.
This session introduces Microsoft’s Lab Management solution which allows developers and QA to self-provision their own environments. We’ll look at you can take advantage of virtualization (on-premises or cloud) to create environments, roll them back to known states, and attach them to bugs while minimizing the labor in your data center.
This presentation introduces some key mechanisms that will help you use AWS as a flexible development and testing environment. Topics covered include:
Why AWS for development & test workloads?
AWS Services to support Dev & Test workloads
Developing & Testing Business Applications on AWS
Common Dev & Test Patterns
Resources you can use to learn more

AWS Summit 2014 Perth - Breakout 5
Organisations today are increasingly looking for faster and cost effective ways to develop and test products before deployment. Those managing this process must determine when a product is ready to be deployed to production. But before this decision is made, the entire testing and development process should be carefully planned, managed, and reviewed. Amazon Web Services' utility computing model provides a great backbone to achieve this goal. With AWS you can spin up infrastructure on an as-needed basis for development and testing. Run workloads for a certain amount of time, and then stop running them – and stop paying for them – when you don’t.

Office 365 - Disruption or Transformation
Microsoft has been polishing its Online Service offerings since the early 2000’s through its original Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) which has later become what we now know as Office 365.
It’s been a shaky road since 2010 but finally we are seeing remarkable technology come through Office 365 and into the hands of all users. By unpacking what is possible within the suite, companies are fence sitting as to whether it is Disruption or Transformation.
So, what do you think it is?
Let’s unload and explore the pro’s and con’s of what customers are experiencing and the strategic direction of Microsoft.
Presented at the virtual ICONUS 2016 conference
Many companies run a mixed IBM Notes and Microsoft Office 365 (O365) environment. SharePoint/Outlook and Domino should be viewed as a new opportunity to create rich and engaging user experiences.

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!

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.
