The seminar is based on my first book Academic Excellence, the synopsis of which goes as follows
This book is a modern day fable about achieving Academic Excellence. The protagonist is Amish Sharma, a city born teenager with all the resources a student would need to be successful. He was living the ideal teenage life with great friends, cool gadgets, lots of fast food and a family that loved him and met all his needs. He never really gave too much importance to Academics. Exams scared him and thus he stayed away from school. Everything was going great until one day his final 10th grade exams turned up. His lack luster attitude throughout the year, affected his performance and he failed a subject. His life then took a big turn around. The school wanted him to stay back a year. This left him devastated. He pleaded and finally after passing a re-test, he was allowed to go to the next standard.
He decided that this was never going to happen to him again and thus began his transformational journey to find the best in himself and achieve Academic Excellence. He meets Neil Shah, a great student, with a portfolio of achievements that made him the ideal mentor. Amish decided to find out how Neil did all he could, so that he too could find the best in himself. What follows is a life changing conversation between these two students, where Amish finds out how the best students achieve Academic Excellence. He learns many well-kept secrets of the best students from Neil. The book is divided into four main parts
1. 7 Steps to becoming a subject topper and falling in love with your subject.
2. Mastering your exams.
3. Understanding Student Topper Mindset and Physiology.
4. 11 Reasons why the best students become better.
The world around us filled a myriad of high performing, large throughput systems that we can borrow ideas from to help our IT teams and organizations perform and higher levels. Join us for a thought experiment where we examine several examples from our everyday world that can help us achieve unprecedented levels of flow and scale within our organizations.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

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.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

5. TEAM LEADERS TODAY CAN BE MORE THAN
PUPPETS
This feature takes 1 week
This feature takes 2 weeks
6. THE WAY TO achieve this
changes based on
Your team’s skills to handle
the current reality
7. THE THREE TEAM STAGES
DEAL WITH
SKILLS FACING REALITY
CHAOS LEARNING Self Organizatio
8. CHAOS
WE NEVER HAVE TIME TO (learn
how to) REFACTOR/UNIT TEST!!
My machine is too slow!
That PM keeps coming in in the
middle of iteration and asking for
MORE STUFF!!
11. 1.Dilemma: Write tests,
or get it done?
2.Answer – No time! fix
the fire, get it done!
3.Feeling == good
HOW DO WE LOSE QUALITY?
12. ONE WEEK LATER
1.Dilemma: Write tests,
or get it done?
2.What did we do last
time? How did it feel?
3.Answer – Felt good
to ship. Let’s do it
again!
16. A TEAM LEADER DURING CHAOS
• SET and demand QUALITY bar to be
high (if that’s the problem)
• REMOVE ENOUGH COMMITMENTS
to make time to learn
• BUT only starting next month
• THIS month – you finish what you
can in a month
• NEXT month: you start the
LEARNING phase
17. LEARNING PHASE
At least x3 time per estimate
HARDCORE CODE REVIEWS
UNIT TESTING
TDD
SLOWLY TEACH YOUR TEAM TO
SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS
18. A TEAM LEADER IN LEARNING PHASE WOULD..
Let people fail and learn from failure
Redirects the ship if failure time will be too big
Challenges people to grow and solve their own problems
WE NEED MORE TESTS!
What are you going to
do about it?
