The iPhone revolutionized the world of mobile application development. However the iPhone’s proprietary hardware and software development environments are a roadblock to many.
Google’s Android platform with its promise of open standards for hardware and a free and familiar development environment make it a strong contender for competing with the iPhone platform.
After introducing the Android platform we will discuss the paradigms and constraints in building a mobile application. We then dissect a simple “social” Android application which uses a REST-based webservice to communicate. This will help us understand the core components of an Android application and the Android SDK functionality.
Getting started with android dev and test perspectiveGunjan Kumar
The presentation covers basic intro to Android, how to get started with development, including instructions on setup, common UI usages like menus, dialogs; details on services like Sensors, Location and Google Maps
It also covers ideas on how to test including details on shell and installation instructions without using Eclipse

Internet of things architecture perspective - IndicThreads ConferenceIndicThreads
Internet of Things is gaining unprecedented amount of traction across the globe. And the large organizations are making huge investments on IoT, which is going to change the shape of the 'Connected World'. Hence, it becomes necessarily important to understand the components, technologies and their interaction in the world of IoT.
The session would cover the Introduction of IoT, its components, the forces that have brought the ecosystem to mainstream and its adoption across industries. Then along with the Reference Architecture, I would discuss a few of industry implementations in IOT area with reference to the architecture. Next would be a comparative analysis of various IOT platforms available in the market and their architectures. And finally I would take up the challenges in making IOT as pervasive as it is believed to be.
A key take away would be the architectural appreciation of IOT landscape. As of now, any and every player in the market has begun to advertise their product as an IOT platform but a comprehensive review of fundamental design and architecture would bring this plethora of products (including open source ones) in the right purview. And that's the objective of this talk.

Remember the last time you tried to write a MapReduce job (obviously something non trivial than a word count)? It sure did the work, but has lot of pain points from getting an idea to implement it in terms of map reduce. Did you wonder how life will be much simple if you had to code like doing collection operations and hence being transparent* to its distributed nature? Did you want/hope for more performant/low latency jobs? Well, seems like you are in luck.
In this talk, we will be covering a different way to do MapReduce kind of operations without being just limited to map and reduce, yes, we will be talking about Apache Spark. We will compare and contrast Spark programming model with Map Reduce. We will see where it shines, and why to use it, how to use it. We’ll be covering aspects like testability, maintainability, conciseness of the code, and some features like iterative processing, optional in-memory caching and others. We will see how Spark, being just a cluster computing engine, abstracts the underlying distributed storage, and cluster management aspects, giving us a uniform interface to consume/process/query the data. We will explore the basic abstraction of RDD which gives us so many awesome features making Apache Spark a very good choice for your big data applications. We will see this through some non trivial code examples.

Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) using Jenkins & DockerIndicThreads
Continuous Integration (CI) is one of the most important tenets of agile practices. And Continuous Delivery (CD) is impossible without continuous integration. All practices are good and enhance productivity when other good practices and tools back them. For example CI & CD without proper automation test cases can be a killer. It kills the team productivity and puts deliver on risk. Via this session I will try to share my experiences of how CI and CD can be done in optimized fashion (specifically for feature branch based development approach)
We will discuss the best practices and ways of ensuring proper CI and CD in feature branch based development approach.
I will showcase an automated Jenkins based setup, which is geared to ensure that all feature branches and master remain in cohesive harmony.
At the end we will conclude on what are the essential components for ensuring successful CI and CD. We will also discuss what are the associated must haves to make it a success.
Take away for participants
1. Understanding of CI and CD and how CI can lead to CD.
2. How a devops engineer can leverage Jenkins and scripting to automate the CI and CD for feature branch based development.
3. Demo of CI setup devloped on Jenkins.
4. Generic understanding and Q&A related to CI and CD.
5. Learning of how docker can be used in such scenarios.

Speed up your build pipeline for faster feedbackIndicThreads
In this talk I will share how we brought down our Jenkins build pipeline time down from over 90 minutes to under 12 minutes. I will share specific techniques which helped and also some, which logically made sense, but actually did not help. If your team is trying to optimize their build times, then this session might give you some ideas on how to approach the problem.
Development Impact – The number of builds in a day have increased over a period of time as the build time has reduced. Frequency of code check-in has increased; Wait time has reduced; failed test case faster to isolate and fix.
The sessions will look at: Why long running pipeline was hurting, Key Principles to Speed Up Your Build Pipeline, Bottlenecks , Disk IO examples and alternatives, Insights from CPU Profiling, Divide and Conquer, Fail Fast, Results
The talk will highlight: Importance of getting fast feedback, How to investigate long running tests, How to run Tests concurrently, RAM Disks, SSD, Hybrid disks, Why you should not assume; but validate your hypothesis.

Digital Transformation of the Enterprise. What IT leaders need to know!IndicThreads
This presentation will be about the changing times and nature of IT services delivered to the consumer. In the past, it used to be delivered through thick or thin clients on the desktop. Today, these are primarily delivered to the mobile in the form of a digital service.
While a lot of talk is about disruption that the smart phones have brought, the truth is, that the backend has to be more industrialised than ever before due to the massive number of transactions that terminate in the legacy IT infrastructure. Companies need both, industrial IT and innovation IT to be able to compete effectively in the digital marketplace. This presentation will be about the different imperatives the new IT leaders have to think about in the digital era.

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.
