Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
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).

Multimedia software (squick)
1. Multimedia software (Squeak).
Overview:
an educational tool for teaching children powerful ideas in compelling ways. It is a media-rich
authoring environment and visual programming system. It is a free software program that works
on almost all personal computers. Students face several stumbling blocks that can prevent them
from making the most of their time in school. One is motivation. Most kids would rather do
anything than sit and listen to lessons that don't feel relevant.
Even with motivated children, there's still another problem: they are often taught how but not
why. They may do well on tests, but never learn to think for themselves. Children use Squeak to
make their own models, stories, and games, which keeps them engaged because it's a lot of fun.
But Squeak isn't just child's play. It's a highly effective way to teach math, science, and language
arts, although many children won't realize this. Instead they'll stay immersed in discovery,
reaching eagerly for each new idea, making their lessons more meaningful than with a "face-
front" approach. Young children learn best by experimentation and play. Kids are wired to grasp,
drop, stack, and smash the world around them, often without adult encouragement. Problems
start when students are taught things they can't see or touch. Math and grammar are difficult
because they're less real than wooden blocks. Squeak makes abstractions more palpable,
allowing children to visualize and explore new ideas.
Teacher’s role:
• Encourage students to interact, control and response to the Squeak.
• Guide the learner throughout learning from the beginning (objectives) to
the end (evaluation)?
Student’s role:
• Follow linear programmed instruction or branching design
• Computer-management capabilities (e.g. data collection)
Methodology:
Squeak has the potential to transform education through the use of the computer. With this tool
the computer can be used in a constructive manner to allow learners to explore and build. The
software we describe can be used in the classroom or at home with parents because NASA
CONNECT™ is free to the public and is accessible on the Internet.
Instrument:
We use checklist to evaluate the software and know if it is compatible for grade Eight students.
