This document discusses how local hacks developed to meet specific local needs can be turned into contributed features that benefit the whole community. It encourages sharing code openly from an early stage of development to avoid duplicated work, make features more robust, and allow others to build upon the work. Communicating plans and getting input from the community before significant coding begins can help make features better fits for everyone. Contributing features to the main codebase has benefits over just maintaining local hacks.

Urban Legends: What You Code Makes You Who You Are - PJ Hagerty - Codemotion ...
If you were a carpenter, would your skills at building be more important than the tools you use to build? Skills, right? Tools are just a means to an end. So why do developers think the language they use defines the problems they solve? This talk will take a look at misconceptions across the board, some experiences, both positive and negative, people have had crossing barriers to new languages, and show some of the benefits thinking of one's self as a coder and not a "Ruby coder" or a "PHP dev" can have on being a better problem solver.

Tema uno
Red Riding Hood was asked by her mother to bring a custard to her sick grandmother. On her way through the woods, she met a wolf who tricked her into revealing where her grandmother lived. The wolf arrived first and ate the grandmother. He then waited for Red Riding Hood, tricking her as well by pretending to be the grandmother, and ate her too. A hunter passing by heard the wolf snoring and killed him, rescuing Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. Red Riding Hood learned not to talk to strangers after this frightening experience.
Module 6
The document discusses three articles about technology in education. The first article talks about providing every sixth grade student in Michigan with a laptop for school use. While this could benefit computer companies, some educators are skeptical it will solve classroom problems. The second article describes an experimental classroom in China where the teacher instructs students remotely by broadcasting lessons and calling on virtual students. The third article argues that principles of hacking should be taught in schools to help students avoid becoming victims of hacking or identity theft, and discusses an online program called "Hacker HighSchool" that teaches these skills.

Git/Github & Salesforce
Git is a version control system that allows multiple people to work on the same codebase simultaneously without overwriting each other's work. It uses branches to isolate changes, commits to save snapshots of changes, and merges to combine changes from different branches. Github is a popular hosting service for Git repositories that provides additional collaboration features like pull requests and issue tracking. For Salesforce developers, using Git and Github can help track changes across sandboxes and orgs and allow for code reviews through pull requests. The new Salesforce DX toolset further integrates Salesforce development with Git by enabling automated deployments from GitHub repositories.
Mastering git
The document provides an overview of using Git for version control, including how to acquire Git, how it works, common Git commands ("verbs"), tools for using Git, and strategies for using Git in a work environment. It discusses setting up a Git repository, the Git object model, branches, merging, tagging, and tools like GitHub and Visual Studio Team Services.
Devconf 2011 - PHP - How Yii framework is developed
This document discusses the development of the Yii PHP framework. It was originally developed from Prado in 2004 and became Yii 1.0 in 2008. The framework uses an MVC architecture and takes inspiration from other frameworks like Rails and Symfony. It focuses on being easy to use, powerful, and flexible. The framework is developed as an open source project under the BSD license to encourage contributions from the community.
Communication tool & Environment for Remote Worker
Shotaro Sakamaki is a front-end engineer at PixelGrid.Inc, a company that develops JavaScript applications. He discusses the communication tools and development environment used by PixelGrid's remote workers. Key tools mentioned include Slack for chat, esa.io for documentation sharing, GitHub for source control, and ZenHub as a GitHub extension. Costs for these paid services range from $3.99 to $6.67 per user per month. While costs may seem high, the speaker argues they replace expenses from maintaining multiple free tools and reduce invisible maintenance costs.
The bigrewrite
The document discusses the challenges of deciding whether to rewrite an existing codebase from scratch or work with the legacy code. It outlines reasons for not working with the existing code, such as missing documentation or tools. It also notes potential issues with rewriting from scratch, such as the impact on other teams and office politics. The document recommends starting by automating infrastructure and tests, learning the essential business concepts, and trying to introduce incremental changes to the legacy code before deciding to fully rewrite it.

OSGeo Incubation 2014
The Open Source Geospatial Foundation does much more than hold FOSS4G each year.
This talk will look into what makes OSGeo a software foundation. What software foundations have to offer members, software projects and developers.
This talk is structured around the “incubation” process by which new software projects join the OSGeo.
If you are new to open source take this is a great chance to see how OSGeo evaluates software projects and how these checks protect you!
For managers it is especially important to understand the risks associated with the use of open source. Understand what assurances OSGeo incubation offers, how to double check the results, and what factors are left for your own risk assessment.
If you are a developer considering getting involved in OSGeo this is great talk to learn what is involved, how much work it will be, and how you can start!
Come see what makes OSGeo more than a user group!

Getting Started with Architecture Decision Records
Documenting architecture design decisions is commonly considered a good practice and yet many teams don't take the time to write down the decisions they make. In our experience this happens for a few reasons: documentation is rejected as being too heavyweight, documentation has little influence since it is typically out of sight and out of mind, and many developers don’t know what to document. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) address many of these problems by capturing design decisions in a simple, lightweight templates that is stored close to repositories used by stakeholders -- often in the same repository as code affected by the ADR.
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to write effective ADRs and how to overcome road bumps teams often experience when first getting started with ADRs. By the end of this session you will have the skills you need to champion ADRs and help your team start (or improve) your design decision log.
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legacy Code.....
Legacy Code. I never wrote it; everybody else did!
How many times have you waded through an ageing, decaying, tangled forrest of code and wished it would just die?
How many times have you heard someone say that what really needs to happen is a complete rewrite?
I have heard this many times, and, have uttered that fatal sentence myself.
But shouldn’t we love our legacy code?
Doesn’t it represent our investment and the hard work of ourselves and our predecessors?
Throwing it away is dangerous, because, before we do, we’ll need to work out exactly what it does, and we’ll need to tweeze out that critical business logic nestled in a deeply entangled knot of IF statements. It could take us years to do, and we’ll have to maintain two systems whilst we do it, inevitably adding new features to them both. Yes we get to reimplement using the latest, coolest programming language, instead of an old behemoth, but how long will our new cool language be around, and who will maintain that code, when it itself inevitably turns to legacy?
We can throw our arms in the air, complaining and grumbling about how we didn’t write the code, how we would never have written it the way it is, how those that wrote it were lesser programmers, possibly lesser humans themselves, but the code still remains, staring us in the face and hanging around for longer that we could possibly imagine. We can sort it out, we can improve it, we can make it testable, and we can learn to love our legacy code.
Oscon 2016: open source lessons from the todo group
The document summarizes lessons learned from open source programs at several major tech companies presented at an event by the TODO Group. The TODO Group is a collaboration of companies who share practices for running successful open source programs. Several companies including Netflix, Microsoft, Capital One, Box, Sandisk, Google and Yahoo discussed how they scale their open source programs, build communities, and realize strategic benefits from their involvement in open source.
Shoulders of Giants
The document discusses strategies for building software quickly by standing on the shoulders of giants and leveraging existing open source projects and libraries. It acknowledges common problems like reinventing the wheel and fear of the unknown that prevent reuse. The author advocates looking for existing solutions that match your needs and problems before writing new code, and shares experiences successfully using existing social networking, e-commerce, and push notification libraries to accelerate development. The overall message is that reuse allows you to ship projects faster with fewer bugs by leveraging the work of others.
What every successful open source project needs
In the last few years open source has transformed the software industry. From Android to Wikipedia, open source is everywhere, but how does one succeed in it? While open source projects come in all shapes and sizes and all forms of governance, no matter what kind of project you’re a part of, there are a set of fundamentals that lead to success. I’d like to share some of the lessons I’ve learned from running two of the largest commercial open source projects, Docker and MongoDB, as well as some very successful community projects.
This presentation was delievered at sinfo.org in Feb 2015.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

From bolted-on to baked-in
- 1. From Bolted-on to Baked-in Turning local hacks into contributed features Jeff Godin Traverse Area District Library jgodin@tadl.org
- 2. About the title... • from A-Z, not from GOOD to BAD • Local hacks can be useful
- 3. Local Hacks • Quick one-offs • Meet a specific local need • “tweaks” • and then the Really Weird Stuff • You benefit, nobody else does
- 4. Contributed Features • In the main codebase • Usually have knobs in the form of OU settings (YAOUS) • Everyone can benefit -- but sometimes you most of all
- 5. What’s in it for us?
- 6. Don’t duplicate effort • I quietly work on feature X • You quietly work on feature X • One of us could have been working on feature Y
- 7. Burden of Maintenance • Local Hacks: • When someone else’s change breaks your hack, you fix your hack • Contributed Features • Less likely to break in the first place • You’re not the only one who can fix
- 8. From Good to Awesome
- 9. Time and Effort • Making a feature can be more difficult than making a hack • It’s usually worth it • Your time spent promoting a hack to a feature is time that someone else can be putting toward another new feature.
- 10. How do I do this?
- 11. Communicate • Share ideas and plans with the community before significant coding begins • Input from others can make your feature better overall, or make it a better fit for everyone
- 12. Share your code • All of it • Right away • No, really -- all of it, right away
- 13. Excuses • There’s hardcoded stuff in there • API keys, passwords, etc • “It’s not ready”
- 14. Anti-Excuses
- 15. Use git (or similar) • commit as you work • branch freely
- 16. Other Ideas • Include clauses in your development contracts that specify copyright and licensing issues • Require participation in the community
- 17. Questions?
- 18. Thanks! Jeff Godin Traverse Area District Library jgodin@tadl.org
