In this session I'll share my experience integrating Bedework, a CalDAV calendar server, into the Berkeley version of the Sakai OAE. Users can see their calendars inside OAE or in the CalDAV client of their choice (e.g. Apple iCal). The presentation will go into heavy technical detail on the iCalendar data specification, CalDAV, WebDAV, and related protocols. I'll also focus on how to use JUnit to write integration tests that help you learn and exercise complex functionality in external systems, one tiny feature at a time. Audience members should have some background in Java programming and XML.
VCL template abstraction model and automated deployments to FastlyFastly
Neeraj Mendiratta Sr. Director of Devops, A+E Networks at Fastly Altitude 2016
Hosting hundreds of websites and backend services for multiple environments at the Content Delivery Network level presented a challenge for us at A+E. We solved this problem by applying the DevOps concept of “Infrastructure as Code”. First, a VCL templating framework was created to support a multitude of services and environment agnostic configurations. Then we integrated our CI tool with GitHub and Fastly to make a scalable way of managing our many services. This walkthrough is based on our real-world experiences. We discuss: using the template framework; how to handle the workflow between development, QA, and production environments; and the API calls and integrations necessary for automating deployments to Fastly.

Design & Performance - Steve Souders at Fastly Altitude 2015Fastly
Fastly Altitude - June 25, 2015. Chief SpeedCurver Steve Souders explains how design and web performance are more interconnected than ever before. Users want a fast website with a rich design, but sometimes the interplay between design and performance feels like a fixed sum game: one side's gain is the other side's loss. Design and performance are indeed connected, but it's more like the yin and yang. They aren't opposing forces, but instead complement each other. Bringing these processes together produces experiences that are rich and fast.

This allows for improved scalability and parallel request processing.
Yaroslav Pernerovsky - You are doing it wrong all the timeIevgenii Katsan
This document discusses the proper use of implicit and explicit waits in Selenium. It notes that implicit waits should be used to wait for element presence, while explicit waits should not be used for this. Implicit wait timeouts should be set lower than explicit wait timeouts. Using implicit and explicit waits together requires certain coexistence rules like timeouts being multiples of each other. The document provides examples of how waits can be implemented and the timeouts that would be used in different wait scenarios.
Learn from Fastly veteran Cassandra Dixon on some of the most common customer issues we see — such as why things aren’t caching, misconfigured origins, issues with intermediary proxies, and VCL snafus — and the best ways to resolve them. We’ll also discuss our unique approach to debugging — using seemingly mundane tools to diagnose issues in creative ways — and how you can apply these methods to your own organization to get the most out of Fastly’s offerings.
This document discusses using web services in Android development. It covers making HTTP requests to web services, parsing the response, and creating your own basic web service using PHP.

Quartz.NET is a port of the popular open source Java job scheduling framework Quartz. It allows scheduling of jobs to run tens, hundreds, or thousands of jobs on a defined schedule. The Quartz scheduler includes enterprise features like JTA transactions and clustering. To use Quartz.NET, add the Quartz and Common Logging DLL files to a project and create a job class with a schedule defined in Global.asax.cs to execute the job and write logs to a file every 5 seconds.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
8. iCalendar Simple text-based format for calendar data exchange iCalendar's fundamental objects are: Events (VEVENT) To-dos (VTODO) Journal entries (VJOURNAL) Free-busy info (VFREEBUSY)
9. iCalendar Usually you encounter iCalendar data in the form of files with a “.ics” extension. Here’s a typical (abbreviated) example: BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Ben Fortuna//iCal4j 1.0//EN VERSION:2.0 CALSCALE:GREGORIAN BEGIN:VTODO DTSTAMP:20110603T222847Z DTSTART:20110505T151506 DUE:20110505T151506 SUMMARY:Pay your bill UID:f84347ab-575b-4274-9436-a5ac906381f9 DESCRIPTION:Pay your bill by the deadline of May 5. END:VTODO END:VCALENDAR iCalendar is defined in RFC 5545 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545
11. ical4j Open-source Java library to wrangle messy iCalendar data iCalendar records with time zone data get very complicated; ical4j makes it pretty simple to work with them ical4j home page: http://wiki.modularity.net.au/ical4j/index.php?title=Main_Page
12. ical4j Java Example protected Calendar buildVTodo(String summary) { CalendarBuilder builder = new CalendarBuilder(); Calendar calendar = new Calendar(); calendar.getProperties().add(newProdId("-//Ben Fortuna//iCal4j 1.0//EN")); calendar.getProperties().add(Version.VERSION_2_0); calendar.getProperties().add(CalScale.GREGORIAN); TimeZoneRegistry registry = builder.getRegistry(); VTimeZonetz = registry.getTimeZone("America/Los_Angeles").getVTimeZone(); calendar.getComponents().add(tz); DateTime due = new DateTime(DateUtils.addDays(new Date(), new Random().nextInt(28))); VToDovtodo = new VToDo(due, due, summary); vtodo.getProperties().add(newUid(UUID.randomUUID().toString())); vtodo.getProperties().add(CalDavConnector.MYBERKELEY_REQUIRED); vtodo.getProperties().add(newDescription("this is the description, it is long enough to wrap at the ical specified standard 75th column")); vtodo.getProperties().add(Status.VTODO_NEEDS_ACTION); calendar.getComponents().add(vtodo); return calendar; }
13. ical4j pitfall: Line folding Per the iCalendar RFC, long lines of text get newlines inserted at the 75th column Sadly, ical4j does not handle this by default Need to specify “ical4j.unfolding.relaxed=true” in an ical4j.properties file
14. CalDAV Dialect of WebDAV that provides calendar functionality Much syntax and structure is inherited from its underlying specifications: WebDAV and iCalendar CalDAV is defined in RFC 4791: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4791
15. Sakai 2 CalDAV GA Tech had a CalDAV project in Sakai 2 that was never released due to gaps in Zimbra's API Zach Thomas left excellent docs that hugely helped our efforts Sakai 2 CalDAV Doc Page: https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/CALDAV/Developer's+Guide
18. Speaking CalDAV with curl Doing a PROPFIND is a shortcut way to get a user's whole calendar: curl –u user:pass -X PROPFIND http://localhost:8080/ucaldav/user/300846/calendar/ To curl, "-X PROPFIND" means do an HTTP PROPFIND method. HTTP has several funky methods you've never heard of unless you've worked with WebDAV.
23. Complexity's a problem CalDAV and WebDAV are Complicated Not noob-friendly RFCs are almost the only docs available
24. Impatience is a virtue Need lots of trial and error Redeploying a server takes 60-90s Running a test takes 2s 2s is too little time to get distracted
26. Write the test first… Before doing anything else I write a test: public class CalDavConnectorTest() { @Test() public void getCalendars() throws CalDavException { List<CalendarURI> uris = this.calDavConnector.getCalendarUris(); } }
27. …Then make it pass Now we'll make it pass in the hackiest way imaginable public class CalDavConnector() { public void getCalendars() throws CalDavException { return new ArrayList<CalendarURI>(); } }
28. …Iterate until done Keep adding implementation code until it does what's needed: PropFindMethod propFind = executeMethod(new PropFindMethod(this.userHome.toString())); MultiStatusResponse[] responses = propFind.getResponseBodyAsMultiStatus().getResponses(); for (MultiStatusResponse response : responses) { if (response.getHref().endsWith(".ics")) { Status[] status = response.getStatus(); if (status.length == 1 && status[0].getStatusCode() == HttpServletResponse.SC_OK) { DavPropertySet propSet = response.getProperties(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK); DavProperty etag = propSet.get(DavPropertyName.GETETAG); try { CalendarURI calUri = new CalendarURI( new URI(this.serverRoot, response.getHref(), false), etag.getValue().toString()); uris.add(calUri); } catch (ParseException pe) { throw new CalDavException("Invalid etag date", pe); } } } }
29. Unit testing heresy These tests talk to and expect a running Bedework server This makes them heretical according to true unit test dogma Tests are not supposed to require an external server
30. Gracefully failing test This test will succeed even if the Bedework server does not respond (because we catch the IOException): public class CalDavConnectorTest() { @Test() public void getCalendars() throws CalDavException { try { List<CalendarURI> uris = this.calDavConnector.getCalendarUris(); } catch (IOException ioe) { LOGGER.error("Trouble contacting server", ioe); } } }
32. …which you then must get with a REPORT method curl –u user:pass -X REPORT http://localhost:8080/ucaldav/user/mtwain/calendar/ -d "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <C:calendar-multiget xmlns:C="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" xmlns:D="DAV:"> <D:prop> <D:getetag/> <C:calendar-data/> </D:prop> <D:href>http://localhost:8080/ucaldav/user/mtwain/calendar/d12ad881-5769-4d17-85ac-fa0a0196ec04.ics </D:href> </C:calendar-multiget>" (Note: Double quotes not escaped for clarity)
34. Hairy REPORT Syntax CalDAV's REPORT syntax is hairy XML Have to extend Jackrabbit's ReportInfo classes This blog entry by Ricardo Martin Camarero has very useful starter code: http://blogs.nologin.es/rickyepoderi/index.php?/archives/15-Introducing-CalDAV-Part-II.html
35. REPORT is foundation for search REPORT methods with parameters let you search by date
36. Bedework difficulties Bedework's search implementation spotty No support for search on X-props No support for search on CATEGORIES
37. Filtering on myBerkeley server Due to Bedework bugs we're forced to do some filtering on the myBerkeley server side E.g. Required/Not Required fields
38. Caching on myBerkeley server CalendarURI wrapper class URI: Locates calendar Etag: Uniquely identifies its contents (sort of like a SHA hash) Caching not implemented yet, but easy enough since all calendars are keyed by CalendarURI
39. Implementing CalDavProxyServlet Also done with test-driven development Write tests against JSON files that contain servlet's expected inputs When servlet's finished, UI devs use those JSON files as an API reference
40. Improvements to Nakamura's CalendarService Future work: Store and search calendars using Nakamura's CalendarService Add support for VTODO to CalendarService
41. Beyond CalendarService Future: Create a full-blown CalDAV Calendar Provider component for Nakamura Store calendars externally, transparently refer to them within Nakamura code
