TRANSFORM FROM PROJECT TO PRODUCT TO SURVIVE THE AGE OF DIGITAL DISRUPTION Mani Maun
For the last 10 years or so established businesses have faced the threat of digital disruption, the traditional planning, and execution methods no longer seem enough to survive.
The impact from COVID-19, in a matter of months, has sped up the rate of disruption, to an extent that established businesses are struggling to understand and keep up with the new normal. On day 0 of COVID-19, when things started to shut down, faults with the current delivery methods of digital transformation started to surface. Current Planning, budgeting, prioritization, resourcing, operations, and delivery just seems out of place and not relevant anymore.
In the volatile and uncertain times, we are in, traditional managerial frameworks and infrastructure models cannot keep up with demands being placed on them.
One of the main challenges for IT companies is to keep their expertise on the cutting edge of technological trends. The Knowledge Communities allow us to better manage client projects by having more accurate knowledge of our capabilities and expertise.
These communities bring together our subject matter experts across entities and borders. They invite employees to develop their professional networks with peers in their domains of expertise and to benefit from social learning by sharing, solving problems and developing knowledge around innovative topics.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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:

❑ Progress has been named a
“Visionary” by Gartner in
the 2018 Magic Quadrant for
Mobile App Development
Platforms (MADP), marking
its fifth consecutive inclusion
for the award-winning
mobility solutions.
22. ❑ Mobile backend as a service (MBaaS)
o Also known as "backend as a service" (BaaS), is a model for providing web app and mobile app
developers with a way to link their applications to backend cloud storage and APIs exposed by
back end applications while also providing features such as user management, push notifications,
and integration with social networking services.
o The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud infrastructure including
network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but has control over the deployed applications
and possibly application hosting environment
❑ Benefits of cloud computing:
o BaaS providers generate revenue from their
services in various ways, often using a freemium
model. Under this model, a client receives a
certain number of free active users or API calls
per month, and pays a fee for each user or call
over this limit.
MOBILE BACKEND AS A SERVICE
23. CLOUD DEVELOPMENT & PROGRESS = KINVEY
❑ June 28, 2017
o Progress Acquires Kinvey, the Leader in Backend as a Service (BaaS) Technology
o Kinvey is used by organizations across industries to build and deploy modern
applications including, Schneider Electric, VMware, Bell and Howell, and Thomas Jefferson
University and Jefferson Health.
❑ Kinvey empowers developers by decoupling and abstracting the server-side
infrastructure:
o Run in the cloud - Deploy on a serverless platform loved by developers with cloud
portability loved by architects
o Serverless Architecture - Deliver enhanced user experiences from enterprise and legacy
systems
o Secure, Data-Rich Apps - Enable secure, data-rich apps through no-code and low-code
enterprise system integration
25. ❑ AR
o is an interactive experience of a real-world environment whereby the objects that reside in the
real-world are "augmented" by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across
multiple sensory modalities, including:
o visual
o auditory
o haptic
o somatosensory
o olfactory
❑ AR types
o Marker Based Augmented Reality - uses a camera and some type of visual marker, such as a
QR/2D code, to produce a result only
o Markerless Augmented Reality - uses a GPS, digital compass, velocity meter, or accelerometer
which is embedded in the device to provide data based on your location
o Projection Based Augmented Reality - projecting artificial light/holograms onto real world
surfaces
o Superimposition Based Augmented Reality - either partially or fully replaces the original view
of an object with a newly augmented view of that same object. Eg: IKEA AR catalogue
AUGMENTED REALITY
26. ❑ AR SDKs
o Google’s ARCore - launched in early 2018, open source (Apache 2.0 license) augmented
reality SDK for bringing compelling AR experiences to Android devices (version 7.0 and
above). It employs three main capabilities: motion tracking, environmental understanding,
and light estimation
o Apple’s ARKit - iOS 11 introduces in 2017 a new framework that allows you to easily create
unparalleled augmented reality experiences for iPhone and iPad. ARKit combines device
motion tracking, camera scene capture, advanced scene processing, and display
conveniences to simplify the task of building an AR experience.
o The releases of AR SDKs from Apple (ARKit) and Google (ARCore) have presented an
opportunity for NativeScript to enable developers to create immersive cross-platform AR
experiences.
❑ NativeScript’s AR support is available through a nativescript-ar plugin. The plugin abstracts
the ARKit APIs into a set of easy-to-use APIs for common AR tasks. Eventually those same APIs
will also support Android’s ARCore, so that you can build cross-platform AR experiences from a
single codebase.
AR & PROGRESS = NATIVESCRIPT-AR PLUGIN
29. ❑ BLOCKCHAIN
o Is a decentralized ledger of all transactions across a peer-to-peer network
o Using this technology, participants can confirm transactions without the need for a central
certifying authority
o Potential applications include fund transfers, settling trades, voting and many other uses
o Technically, it is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography.
o Each block contains
o a cryptographic hash of the previous block
o a timestamp
o and transaction data (generally represented as a merkle tree root hash).
BLOCKCHAIN
30. ❑ BITCOIN (₿)
o is a cryptocurrency, a form of electronic cash. It is a decentralized digital currency that can be
sent from user-to-user on the peer-to-peer bitcoin network without the need for intermediaries.
o Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a blockchain
BLOCKCHAIN
33. ❑ Consensus Cloud removes complexity from blockchain adoption.
❑ This Progress platform helps organizations easily create and manage blockchain networks
that bring together disparate processes and information systems.
❑ Developers can quickly deliver new and innovative solutions that address even the most
challenging of collaboration scenarios.
o Create Business Consortiums
