In any big organisation there are a number of applications that have been running in production for many years but still need maintaining. Sometimes those systems are in limp home mode and we can only make small changes to help them across the finish line. This is not a very appealing scenario to an engineer with a can-fix attitude, but there are still many benefits to getting involved in troubleshooting live issues.
I used to think that greenfield projects and new features are the most important areas that would give me opportunities for learning, but I have realised looking back at my experience that digging into code that I had not written or from a project I was not part of has given me many benefits: confidence in stepping into the unknown, a better understanding of systems that seemed to be a black box and also the ability to predict possible pitfalls when implementing new systems and prevent failures!

Rosemary King - Playing to Learn: How Understanding the Function That Play Ha...Turing Fest
As product managers, we are constantly learning. Learning about new technologies, new ways of structuring experiences, new ways of presenting information. We are constantly challenging ourselves to questions our assumptions about our users, our products, the way that we do things. How can PMs optimize their professional development? How can organizations understand how to better support their people? The way we learn originates in the way we play. For decades cognitive scientists have studied how play develops our minds and the way we interact with the world. Understanding the origins our learning process can help us understand how to continue the process as adults. This talk will cover the concept of play as cognitive developer, examine how great minds have used playful thinking to innovate new concepts and offer thoughts on how organizations can apply these lessons to their team cultures to create space.
I've been looking at websites lately for a LinkedIn group that I'm a part of. I've been amazed at how many break simple rules. I'm not even talking design rules like color schemes, but mistakes that cost companies business and cause users to leave.
Don't stand in the fire: Leadership lessons from World of WarcraftBrian Hawkins
Often the most memorable lessons are when we fail. In the real world, (especially in business), that can be costly. So why, in something as crucial as leadership, do we not play games to learn this skill where the costs are low? With massively multiplayer games like World of Warcraft we have an opportunity to start learning leadership and make mistakes. Without destroying a thing.
In this talk, I'll share eight leadership lessons I learned by playing WoW and give examples of times, both in-game and in real life, where I applied the lessons (or where I had a pretty epic fail because I didn't).
I didn't set out to learn how to lead in World of Warcraft, but I did. It has paid off in my professional career more than any other training.

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!

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).
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.

Deepak Rai, Automation Practice Lead, Boundaryless Group and UiPath MVP
Born in New Jersey in 1965.He learned how to put a motherboard together at age 11.He dropped out of college with 1 class credit left without finishing his degree in journalism.Known for his blog scobleizer.com started while working at Microsoft.He previously worked for Fast Company as a video blogger.Currently works for Rackspace building an internet community titled Building 43.
Born in 1944 and lives in California.He is a writer and speaker on social media issues.Also wrote Twitterville.Holds an online blogging series called Global Neighborhoods with ShelIsreal.
Blogging is a way to humanize your company. It is a way to reach more than one person at a time, in a personal, identifiable way.Microsoft took video blogging and used it as a chance to show outsiders that they are human. Anyone with a will can blog, but there are 6 pillars to blog.1.Publishable.Anyone can publish a blog. You can do it cheaply, but post often. Each posting is instantly available worldwide.2.Findable. Through search engines, people will find blogs by subject, author, or both. The more you post, the more findable you become.3.Social. The blogosphere is one big conversation. Topics that are interesting link together from site to site. Through blogs, people with shared interests are able to build relationships unrestricted by geographic borders.4.Viral. Information often spreads faster through blogs than via a news service. No form of viral marketing matches the speed and efficiency of a blog.5.Syndicatable. By clicking on an icon, you can get free "home delivery" of RSS- enabled blogs into your e-mail software. RSS lets you know when a blog you subscribe to is updated, saving you search time. 6.Linkable. Because each blog can link to all others, every blogger has access to the tens of millions of people who visit the blogosphere every day.
I was surprised to learn that one-third of all blogs started may be abandoned within a year. Blogging is not for everyone. You have to be committed.However, for those who continue to blog, the overall growth of blogging is among the fastest of any technology in history. According to Pew, ¼ of the U.S. web reads blogs and that number is increasing at 60% annually.
I love reading about the success stories of how blogs have helped companies turn around. Such as how video blogging helped consumers see that those working at Microsoft were humans too. They were able to see their daily life, unscripted, which made it feel more real.That’s how life is, and that’s how consumers want to view it, not with a mask on.
I would definitely recommend this book for those interested in blogging for a company. It is very insightful on giving examples of good blogging stories for companies. For me, it was a little bit of a slow read, because it can be a lot of information at once, but is a good book to pick up and read a chapter every day or so.
Thanks for listening to my presentation!Again, my name is KacieWhigham.You can follow me a twitter, username KdWhigham.Bye for now!
