GeeCON 2017 - TestContainers. Integration testing without the hassleAnton Arhipov
TestContainers is a Java library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.
Ten useful JavaScript tips & best practicesAnkit Rastogi
In this presentation there are ten useful JavaScript techniques which can be included in your application easily with less friction along with some AngularJs tips and best practices as a bonus. These tips and best practices are accompanied by examples & will cover script loading, design pattern, performance optimization and other areas.
Since best practices are very subjective topics, proper benchmarking needs to be done.

JEEConf 2017 - The hitchhiker’s guide to Java class reloadingAnton Arhipov
In Java, a typical workflow involves restarting the application (almost) with every class change. For some applications it is not a problem at all, for some – it is a disaster.
From HotSwap to agent-based reloading. In this session, we are going to take a look at the options available for Java class reloading. There is plenty of tools that you can use for this task: rely on standard JVM HotSwap, redesign your application to rely on dynamic class loaders, to comprehend the Zen of OSGi, or to integrate a reloading agent. Every option has its own drawbacks and benefits and we’re going to take a deep dive on the subject.
Finally, there are also the conceptual challenges in reloading Java classes. What to do with the state? What should happen with the static initialisers? What if super class changes? Join this session to gain a better understanding of class reloading technologies and become more productive Java developer.
Why is web application programming so difficult? Is it javascript fault? Is it our fault? Time to take the red pill and wake up in the real, event driven world. A world where if you can dodge the bullets of skyrocketing complexity, your programs can be made scalable, fault tolerant, extensible and just beautiful.
Java 9 introduces modules to the Java programming language and its runtime. Despite this feature being optional, due to the modularization of the standard library existing applications might behave differently when running on a version 9 JVM. Furthermore, because of changes in the runtime, existing libraries and frameworks might not yet correctly process your modularized code. As a result, updating to a Java 9 VM and taking Java 9 into brings its challanges.
This talk discusses the practical implications of module boundaries and analyzes new limitations Java 9 imposes on the reflection API. This talk explains how reflection is used in popular frameworks like Spring and Hibernate and explains why existing applications might break or change their behavior when facing modularized code. Finally, this talk showcases alternatives to now failing Java programming patterns and weights their robustness with regard to the Java releases 10 and upward.
The presenter is an active contributor to open source and helped to migrate many popular Java libraries to supporting Java 9. As a consequence, he as been working with Java 9 for almost two years.

Mirror, mirror on the wall: Building a new PHP reflection library (DPC 2016)James Titcumb
Have you ever used PHP's built in reflection, only to find you can't do quite what you wanted? What about finding types for parameters or properties? What about reflecting on classes that aren't loaded, so that you can modify them directly?
Better Reflection is an awesome new library that uses magical time-warp techniques* (*actual magic or time-warp not guaranteed) to improve on PHP's built-in reflection by providing additional functionality. In this talk we'll cover what reflection is all about, explore the cool features of Better Reflection already implemented, the difficulties we faced actually writing the thing, and how you can use Better Reflection in your projects to maximise your reflection-fu.
What do you know about Page Object Pattern? Simon Stewart who first applied it in 2009 using the Selenium WebDriver. Next appear a helpful wrapper for Page Object, such as Page Element, ScreenPlay, LoadabLe Component and etc. If you are interested to see how the interface changed the presentation of the Page Object, look at this presentation
Groovy & Grails: Scripting for Modern Web Applicationsrohitnayak
Dynamic scripting languages are a powerful addition to a software designer’s toolbox. Rails/Ruby and Python have not gained much acceptance in the enterprise. Grails and Groovy are an attempt to bridge the gap between the modern scripting world and the Enterprise Java world.
This talk is an introduction towards building web applications in Grails. First we will go about creating a REST based webservice. We will also show how to replace the default database backend of Grails with MySQL.
We will then build a web application that consumes this webservice. The emphasis will be on the design patterns and idioms in Grails that address the web application development lifecycle.
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.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
