Un actor (model) per amico - Alessandro Melchiori - Codemotion Milan 2016

Codemotion

Erlang, Elixir, Scala con Akka, solo per fare gli esempi piu' famosi, sono implementazioni di un modello matematico, formulato nel 1973, ma del tutto attuale: l'Actor Model. Utilizzato per sviluppare soluzioni "concorrenti e distribuite", il concetto di "attore" si sposa alla perfezione con il mondo del "cloud". In questa sessione, dopo una breve introduzione teorica sull'Actor Model, analizzeremo le possibilità messe a disposizione dell'ecosistema .net

Stop using Bootstrap please! - Davide Di Pumpo - Codemotion Milan 2016

Codemotion

Bootstrap è di sicuro diventato uno dei Framework front-end che tutti conoscono ed hanno utilizzato almeno una volta. Per alcuni Front-end developer è diventato uno standard de facto. Ma è davvero tutto oro quello che luccica? La sua velocità di utilizzo è in realtà assimilabile ad un prestito. Hai chiavi in mano, ma sai quanto andrai a pagare nel tempo? Durante questo talk vedremo quali sono le insidie che si nascondono dietro questo (e similari) framework e come sostituirlo grazie a tecnologie e metodologie moderne.

Next generation of frontend architectures - Luca Mezzalira - Codemotion Milan...

Codemotion

The document discusses asynchronous programming in JavaScript and how it has evolved over time. It covers callbacks, promises, generators, and the new async/await syntax. Callbacks were difficult to read and handle errors across steps. Promises provided a better model but still had ceremony and didn't play nicely with other constructs. Generators allowed writing async code that looked synchronous but required wrapping in a promise. Async/await builds on promises and generators by providing syntax that looks like synchronous code while still being asynchronous under the hood. It addresses issues with previous approaches but developers still need to handle errors and can overuse await. Async/await is available in modern browsers and makes asynchronous JavaScript much cleaner.

Vietnam investment guide – book 1.part 2 - The basics

Dr. Oliver Massmann

Vietnam has pursued greater international economic integration by joining the WTO in 2007 and other international organizations. This has opened Vietnam up to foreign trade and investment according to WTO principles. Vietnam plays an active role in ASEAN economic cooperation which aims to establish a common economic zone by 2015. The EU is one of Vietnam's major trading partners, though Vietnam seeks a free trade agreement to strengthen economic ties. Germany in particular has increased its trade with Vietnam since 2009 and is an important foreign investor, though Vietnam would like to see even greater German investment.

The document proposes a reference architecture for an open-source EHR platform based on openEHR standards. The platform would include components like a Knowledge Manager to maintain clinical metadata, an EHR Server for storing clinical records, a Demographic Server for patient data, and a Rule Engine for clinical decision support. These components would provide open APIs and reuse common clinical artifacts defined using openEHR to achieve maintainability, interoperability and flexibility. The goal is to define a modular, extensible platform that clinical systems can be built upon.

LAK17 Reflective Writing Analytics

Simon Buckingham Shum

This document discusses reflective writing analytics (RWA), an approach to providing automated feedback on reflective writing assignments at scale. RWA was developed using a conceptual framework of reflection derived from literature. It analyzes student writing for rhetorical moves related to reflection using natural language processing. RWA was tested on pharmacy students, with most finding the feedback helpful and many revising drafts based on it. Limitations include the need for strong pedagogical framing and more discipline-specific feedback. Ongoing work aims to address these issues.

Winter: A Game Development Framework by Alvaro Piorno

FAST

The game development industry is not as big as web applications development, but is growing very fast all over the world. If you want to be a game developer or just develop some games, you must first decide what language you will use, because there is no solution for every language (at least not up to date or well maintained). The biggest solutions are Unity (C# , javascript and Boo) and Unreal Engine (C++). Other good solutions are LibGDX (Java) and PyGame (Python). So, if a Smalltalker wants to develop a game , they must select another language and adapt to that environment. Winter is a simple and fast to learn solution to this problem, so we can develop games using Smalltalk.

Performance tests are not only an important instrument for understanding a system and its runtime environment. It is also essential in order to check stability and scalability – non-functional requirements that might be decisive for success. But won't my cloud hosting service scale for me as long as I can afford it? Yes, but… It only operates and scales resources. It won't automatically make your system fast, stable and scalable. This talk shows how such and comparable questions can be clarified with performance tests and how DevOps teams benefit from regular test practise.

Software isn't bridge-building, it is not car or aircraft development either, but then neither is Chemical Engineering. Engineering is different in different disciplines. Maybe it is time for us to begin thinking about retrieving the term "Software Engineering" maybe it is time to define what our "Engineering" discipline should be.
