In modern programming, developers frequently use and follow some principles to become better and produce quality code.
This is a talk to introduce yourself to the acronyms that we have encountered most often while writing our day to day code.
We will give examples, discuss what they mean and how to follow things like DRY, KISS, TDD and many more.
The following slides summarize and curate most of the knowledge and patterns gathered to date on Node error handling.
Without clear understanding and strategy, Node error handling might be the Achilles heel of your app – its unique single-threaded execution model and loose types raise challenges that don’t exist in any other frameworks. Node by itself doesn’t provide patterns for critical paths like where to put error handling code, even worst it suggest patterns that were rejected by the community like passing errors in callbacks.
It covers topics like promises, generators, callbacks, unhandled exceptions, APM products, testing errors, operational errors vs development errors and much more
Joomla! Day Chicago 2011 Presentation - Steven PignataroSteven Pignataro
The document provides tips and best practices for developing Joomla sites as part of a team. It discusses using version control like SVN or Git, following coding standards for naming conventions and formatting, and leveraging tools for code review and team development. Additional suggestions are given for debugging, moving sites, testing for injections, and speeding up sites through techniques like removing Mootools and using content delivery networks. The presenter encourages sharing ideas to improve Joomla development.
This presentation shall address the web2py web framework, my favorite way to develop web apps.
web2py is a free, open-source web framework for agile development of secure database-driven web applications; it is written in Python and programmable in Python. web2py is a full-stack framework, meaning that it contains all the components you need to build fully functional web applications.
Ease of use is the primary goal for web2py. For us, this means reducing the learning and deployment time. This is why web2py is a full-stack framework without dependencies. It requires no installation and has no configuration files. Everything works out of the box, including a web server, database and a web-based IDE that gives access to all the main features.
I will show you why web2py can make you more productive by bringing the result of a reflection over the best ideas of the most popular MVC based web frameworks enforcing the best practices for a fast, scalable and secure web application with minimal effort. There will be a live demo where you can get a faster grasp on how does it work and how fun it can be.

Why should we use TDD to develop in Elixir? When we are applying it correctly? What are the differences that we can find in a code developed with TDD and in code not developed with it? Is it TDD about testing? Really? In this talk, I'll show what is TDD and how can be used it in functional programming like Elixir to design the small and the big parts of your system, showing what are the difference and the similarities between an OOP and FP environment. Showing what is the values of applying a technique like TDD in Elixir and what we should obtain applying it.
The document discusses code quality and its importance. It defines code quality as code that works functionally, is testable, and is easy to maintain. It identifies good practices such as writing testable code, avoiding complexity, and following principles like DRY. Tools like test frameworks, code coverage tools, static analysis tools, and integrated tools like Sonar can help ensure code quality and catch issues early.
When most people talk about automating infrastructure, they focus on things like consistency, scalability, and flexibility. While fine goals, we recently converted several projects to Chef for both systems AND application deployment, and found that, with a little work, these tools could also help you enable better software quality assurance, load modeling, and even improve resource allocation.
By sharing cookbooks across projects, we were able to standardize practices and eliminate arbitrary differences, while using parameterization to perfectly isolate the special needs of each project. This allowed us to transfer knowledge among staff much more quickly. Pulling in and parameterizing application state – database contents, website assets, uploaded content – allowed us to spin up new environments with as much or as little state as needed. Integrating with Vagrant and Jenkins, we were then able to use chef to treat the entire image – system and application – as a test fixture. As each engineer (ops or dev) has visibility into the whole stack, we can more easily move people between dev and ops, or between projects.
A simple application called cvdb is used to illustrate best practices in combining AngularJS as a client browser technology with a Spring based Java server.

"MVC presents a great way to divide responsibilities in your application but it offers no help in building the most critical part: the model or domain. This talk will introduce ways that can help you to encapsulate the richness of your domain. We'll look at Action Domain Response as a new way of thinking about the concepts presented in MVC before examining Hexagonal Architecture, allowing you to easily reuse your domain across multiple delivery mechanisms. We'll then finish with an introduction to Domain Driven Design, a technique that allows you to closely align your domain with the business problems it is solving while helping keep things well designed and easily maintainable. By the end of this talk you should have the knowledge needed to begin modelling your domains more powerfully while keeping them aligned to the real world problems they solve."

Develop High Performance Windows 8 Application with HTML5 and JavaScriptHigh ...Doris Chen
Doris Chen is a developer evangelist at Microsoft based in Silicon Valley. She has over 15 years of experience in the software industry focusing on web technologies. She regularly speaks at conferences and publishes content to help developers. Doris received her Ph.D. from UCLA. The document provides links and resources for developing HTML5 apps for Windows 8.
Dependency injection is a design pattern that allows classes to have their dependencies satisfied externally rather than internally. It promotes loose coupling between classes and makes code more organized and flexible. Bean management allows the dependency injection framework to automatically instantiate objects and their dependencies rather than requiring manual setup. Inversion of control inverts traditional object creation by allowing external configuration to determine default property values and dependencies rather than coding them. Aspect oriented programming allows cross-cutting concerns like logging or error handling to be defined separately from the core functionality they apply to.
Writing testable code is important so that code can be easily tested through automated unit tests. Testable code is written to comply with SOLID principles and is separated into isolated units (classes/objects) that each have a single responsibility. There are different types of automated tests like unit tests, functional tests, and behavioral tests. Automated tests have benefits like proving code works as expected, protecting against regressions, and allowing refactoring with confidence. Dependencies between code units should be managed carefully to keep code testable and decoupled. A dependency injection container can help manage object dependencies and simplify code.
How to improve your code quality? The answer is continuous refactoring. Learn more about refactoring. Know the most frequent code smells (antipatterns), telling when to refactor. Go through the catalog of well-known refactorings, telling how to improve your code.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

4. FLOS
Free Libre and Open Source
This is not something that you will hear too often, but its a
good concept to follow.
!
The programmers community is huge and a lot of them have
tons of things to share, so why not join them?
8. CRUD
Create Read Update and Delete
These are the basic operations for persistent storage.
!
It’s implementations are found in database systems and in
API actions.
10. ORM
Object-Relational Mapping
A technique for converting data between incompatible type
systems in OOP languages.
!
Some web frameworks implement their own ORMs for
mapping to different database systems using the same
structure.
13. MVC
Model: refers to storing the information, usually the
database layer.
!
View: how the user sees the information (eg HTML).
!
Controller: performs various operations to produce the
expected output or modify the information.
15. MVP
Minimum Viable Product
Represents a strategy used to release a new product with
the least needed functionality in order to produce feedback
from clients and enhance it later.
17. SaaS
Software as a service / Service Oriented Architecture
Represents a software architecture where all components
are designed to be services.
!
Which means, the web is a client/server architecture.
18. SaaS
It has 3 demands on the infrastructure:
!
Communication: allow customers to interact with service
!
Scalability: new services can be created rapidly to handle
load spikes
!
Dependability: service and communication continuously
available 24x7
20. TDD
Test-Driven Development
Is a programming strategy that consists of short cycles,
where tests are written first and the actual implementation
comes second.
!
It’s especially useful to ensure code quality.
!
A frequent strategy used with TDD is Red-Green-Refactor.
23. BDD
Behavior-Driven Development
Is a technique introduced to ensure that the software is
doing what the client expects, while at the same time
maintaining code quality.
!
Behaviors had to be defined first and implementation had to
follow them, by providing test first and only then writing the
actual code.
24. BDD
As a registered user
I can visit my
profile page.!
def test_my_profile(self):!
response = client.get(‘/myprofile/’)!
assert response.code == 302!
!
user = UserFactory(’foo’, ’pass’)!
client.login(‘foo’, ‘bar’})!
response = client.get(‘/myprofile/’)!
assert 'Hello foo' in response
26. FIRST
Fast Independent Repeatable Self-checking Timely
These are properties that a good test has to meet in order
to be useful and effective.
27. FIRST
Fast: it has to run quick
!
Independent: a test has to be able to be executed isolated
and not rely on other tests.
!
Repeatable: a test can be executed anytime and the outcome
will still be the same.
!
Self-checking: it must automatically detect if it passed
!
Timely: refers to test being written before code (TDD)
35. CI
Principles you have to follow for CI:
!
Maintain a code repo
Automate the build/deploy
Make the build self-testable
Keep the build fast
Everyone can see the results of the build
Automate deployment (Continuous Deployment)
37. DRY vs WET
Don’t Repeat Yourself vs Write Everything Twice
Is a principle that refers to reducing repeated blocks of
common functionality to a separate sequence that can be
called independently.
!
It will help you achieve more reusability and automation.
38. DRY vs WET
def login_required():!
if not user.is_authenticated():!
return redirect(‘/login’)!
!
def get(request):!
login_required()!
[ … ]!
!
def post(request):!
login_required()!
[ … ]!
!
def get(request):!
if not user.is_authenticated():!
return redirect(‘/login’)!
[ … ]!
!
def post(request):!
if not user.is_authenticated():!
return redirect(‘/login’)!
[ … ]!
!
40. KISS
Keep it simple, stupid
Is a principle that the implementation has to follow the
simplest logic instead of a complex one.
!
It's probably the most difficult strategy in programming.
Most user-friendly interfaces and interactions, are probably
also the most over engineered.
41. KISS
Do not overcomplicate design or code, consider different
approach and trade-off and finally choose the simplest one,
based on system constraints and business rules.
!
It will improve testability, usability and your code would
probably be self-documented and much easier to refactor in
the future, if required.
44. XP
Extreme programming
Is a software development methodology which is intended to
improve software quality and responsiveness to changing
customer requirements.
