Slides from talk given at Ithaca Web Group and GORGES on CoffeeScript.
The focus is on explaining to people who haven't tried it yet that it's more than syntactic sugar. There are several real life code examples but they were explained verbally so they may not be super helpful if you don't know CoffeeScript yet.
It's an overview, not a tutorial.
Drupal 8: A story of growing up and getting off the islandAngela Byron
The Drupal project has traditionally held a strong internal value for doing things "The Drupal Way." As a result, Drupal developers have historically needed to build up reams and reams of tricks and workarounds that were specific to Drupal itself, and Drupal was inaccessible to people with a more traditional programming background. Starting in Drupal 8, however, we've effectively done a ground-up rewrite of the underlying code and in the process made major inroads to getting more inline with the rest of the PHP world. Procedural code is out, OO code is in. "Creative" hacks have been replaced with FIG standards. "Not invented here" is now "Proudly found elsewhere." This story will talk about the journey that Drupal 8 and the Drupal core development team has taken during this transition over the past 3+ years, including some of the pros and cons of this approach and how we dealt (and are dealing) with some of the community management challenges that resulted.

Building a Pyramid: Symfony Testing StrategiesCiaranMcNulty
The last few years have seen a huge adoption of testing practices, and an explosion of different testing tools, in the PHP space. The difficulties come when we have to choose which tools to use, in what combinations, and how to apply them to existing codebases.
In this talk we will look at what tools are available, what their strengths are, how to decide which set of tools to use for new or legacy projects, and when to prioritise decoupling and testability over the convenience we get from our frameworks.
In this session, Aaron Gustafson introduces attendees to the client-side scripting language known as JavaScript. After being taken on a quick tour through the language's features and syntax, attendees will be introduced through a series of examples to ways in which JavaScript can progressively enhance the user experience and really make their designs sing. This session also introduces attendees to several JavaScript libraries and demonstrate how to execute the same task in each.
This isn't a talk about microservices, NO-SQL, Container solutions or hip new frameworks. This talk will show some of the standard Java APIs that are part of Java since version 5, 6, 7 or 8. All this features are very helpful to create maintainable and future-proof applications, regardless of whether JavaEE, Spring, JavaFX or any other framework is used. The talk will give an overview of some important standard concepts and APIs of Java like annotations, SPI or how to handle null values. Based on an overview of this topics and some samples the talk will answer questions like:
- How can I create my own annotations?
- How can I create a plugin structure without using frameworks like OSGI?
- What's the best way to handle NullPointerExceptions?

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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).
