This huge transformation for Visual Studio to enable the creation of any application is two-fold, on the server and on the client:
On the client side, Visual Studio 2015 provides a solution to create first-class applications for any device including iOS, Android and Windows.
On the server side, just like the rest of the Microsoft platform, Visual Studio is embracing Linux and provides a development environment for creating server applications that run on Linux.
We will also support major platforms in our ALM tooling – with features like cross-platform build and heterogenous release management offered by TFS 2015 and Visual Studio Online
What about “every developer”?
Last year, at our Connect() event we made a significant announcement targeted at individual developers, such as students, start-ups, small businesses.
With VS Community, eligible developers can use a full IDE, equivalent to the current VS Professional edition, for creating applications across the cloud and devices – for free!
But what about Enterprises?
With Visual Studio 2015, we are making it easier for enterprises to acquire and use Visual Studio, with a simpler model that will give developers working in organizations easier and more affordable access to Visual Studio. In this new model, we have introduced a new edition of Visual Studio called Visual Studio Enterprise.

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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.
1. Integrated Application
Lifecycle
Management (ALM)
Using Microsoft 2012 Solutions
Presentation By
Anup Hariharan Nair
Date: 20 July 2012
http://HiFiCoding.com/
Prepared using :
2. What is Application
Lifecycle Management?
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a proven set of tools
and processes that helps organizations manage the entire
lifespan of application development, reduce cycles times, and
eliminate waste.
ALM integrates different teams, platforms, and activities, enabling
a continuous flow of business value.
3. Point Solutions for ALM
Serena
Project Management, Change Management
Concurrent versioning system
Code versioning, Team Build, Work Item
Tracking.
HP - QC + QTP
Manage Defects, Test Plans,
Test Cases, Test Results and
Automated Tests.
Spreadsheets and Documents
Excel, Word, Visio documents.
4. Limitations of Point
Solutions
Serena
Tool for Project Management and not for the entire team which includes
developer and testers.
HP Quality Center
Tool for Testers – Not for developer
• Developers work on a different environment (Visual Studio) and don't want to use other
tools that have no relation and connection to the Developer work.
Backtracking
• Backtracking becomes difficult when team uses different tools for development and
testing.
Point Solutions
Both Serena & Quality Center are Point solutions which do not address complete
ALM.
Someone needs to sync between the Project Documents, Serena, TFS and HP
Quality Center.
Syncing and referencing the information from 4 different tools increases the time
in an application lifecycle by up to 30%.
5. Collaboration through
Integration
The key for good Application Lifecycle Management is
collaboration through Integration with team members and the
tools they use to do their primary job.
Product Managers, Developers and Testers are part of the same
Team and the same Process.
In order to improve product quality, they all need to work together
and share information easily and quickly.
If we want to apply integration inside the team, then we all need
to work with the unified tool.
This unified tool will help share information across the entire
team.
6. All in One vs. Point
solutions
All in One -
One platform for the entire team.
Synchronizing between different tools is no longer necessary as they all are a
part of an integrated platform.
Collaboration and integration become easy and fluent, collecting data to
generate reports no longer needs to take a lot of time.
Microsoft created Team Solution for each individual position on the
team; there are tools for :
Requirement Management.
Design tools for Architects.
Developer tools.
Testing tools ranging from manual test to automation and load testing.
8. Integrated ALM Advantages
All in One Solutions provide a number of advantages because of
the fact that they are tightly integrated:
User Setup and Security
Project Setup
Traceability
Dashboards and Reporting
Ease of Use
Initial Costs
Maintenance Costs
Training Costs
Upgrade Costs
Professional Services Costs
Development Costs
Integration Costs
Reporting Costs
9. TFS - Project Management
Audience –
1. Project Manager
2. Business Analysts
3. Team Leaders
10. TFS - Project Management
Team Foundation Server provides MSF for Agile, CMMI and
SCRUM process templates; or you can choose from a number of
third party process templates.
Microsoft Excel Agile Planning Workbook can be used to create and
manage the product backlog, estimate the team’s velocity, and
break the project down into iterations.
The Iteration Backlog enables to plan iterations and track progress.
In addition, integration with Microsoft Project enables stakeholders
and project managers to gain real-time insight into project health as
well as ways to improve existing processes.
12. New in TFS 2012
TFS 2012 removes the worksheets and adds these features to the Team Web
Access web interface.
Each team project has its own web application for managing the work of a
project.
This isn't the SharePoint
portal from previous
versions, which still exists
in the new version, but a
newly designed Web
Access application.
From here, project
managers
can view and manage their
project, administer
iterations and work areas,
manage team members,
and access reports.
13. New in 2012. Microsoft
Feedback Client
You can respond to a request for feedback using Microsoft
Feedback Client, a tool that allows you to launch an application,
capture your interaction with it as video and capture your verbal or type-written
comments as well.
Your feedback is stored in Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 RC to
support traceability.
18. What's new in TFS 2012
Query launcher in Pending Changes –
People wanted an easier way to associate work items on check-in.
Microsoft added a Queries drop down to pending changes allowing you to
launch a query and then drag & drop a work item into the associated work
items list.
19. What's new in TFS 2012
For developers, TFS 2012 includes significant
changes in Team Explorer that are geared
toward making the development workflow more
efficient.
The main change is in Team Explorer's UI.
Team Explorer 2010 and previous versions
provided one window where everything resides
(e.g., work items, reports, documents, builds).
These items were presented
as treeview menu items that
can be expanded and
contracted by clicking them.
TFS 2012 Team Explorer has
changed this to a more
context-specific interface.
20. What's new in TFS 2012
Code reviews.
TFS 2012 now includes a fully integrated code review
process
Example a developer suspends work to address a
priority issue that affects production. When the issue is
fixed, the developer wants a code review done prior to
checking in the code.
On the TFS 2012 Team Explorer Home screen is a
Request Code Review link. Clicking this link opens the
New Code Review screen. From here, one or more
reviewers can be assigned by either typing in the
person's name or selecting it from the drop-down list.
You can add a description to the review request.
When the request is submitted, it will show up as a code
review request in the reviewer's My Work screen.
21. What's new in TFS 2012
Detect Changes to Files
or solution folder
22. Microsoft Team Explorer

Group Your Automated Tests By Using Test Categories
27. What’s new in Unit Testing
Smart Test Discovery
Previously, when a test project was built, Test Explorer would perform an
exhaustive search to discover the tests. A Smart Test Discovery algorithm
has been implemented that significantly improves the time required for
updates to appear on the Test Explorer Window.
Run Tests After Build a.k.a Continuous Test Runner
When this feature is turned on, the tests are run automatically after every
successful build. If there are failed tests from previous runs, they are
executed first.

29. HP QC to TFS Migration
Scrat
Scrat converts and migrates all of your HP Quality Center projects and items
over to Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010.
The migration is quick, easy and a safe process that completes in just a few
hours.
Contrary to the manual migration traditionally employed by organizations,
Scrat fully automates the process.
