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?

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!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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).

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.

who identified 5 distinct stages associated with :
• Incident: Initial incident and reporting on July 1947
• Debunking: Subsequent denial and allegations of government
involvement
• Submergence: Fading and recreative memories of those involved,
speculation followed by self-appointed conspiracy theorists
• Mythologizing: Re-emergence of the story and development into an
elaborate myth aided by exaggeration, folklore and hoaxing for
personal gains
• Reemergence and Media Bandwagon Effect: Publication of books, TV
shows, media coverage to perpetuate the story and mirror political
attitudes to the government.

Carl Hertz was a famous American touring magician of
the late 19th century, who was employed by the Lumiere
Brothers and became famous as a debunker of
medium-ship & spirituality.
In 1901, during one of his tours to Asia, he was
approached by a middle aged man who became his
apprentice, learnt illusory tricks under his guidance and
went on to perform tricks under the name Kelpha.

There are conflicting claims as to the exact timeline of the
photographs involving these two gentlemen ironically playing
this upper class sport at the only venue which A had not
ploughed up in the entire country!
One report suggests it happened in 1959 ahead of A’s planned
meeting with Dwight Eisenhower, while another report suggests
it happened after Eisenhower cancelled the meeting.
A third account from a photographer who made the other
individual (B) famous suggests that Eisenhower made the front
page of the NY times with a rare sporting achievement, inspiring
A to ask B to teach him this game.
Who were A and B, caught in a rare moment of elitist

All of us would have heard of
CAMPCO, the cooperative that
makes chocolates among other
things.
The name CAMPCO makes
reference to two natural

The other one has seen a
resurgence in sales in recent
times owing to the fact that
Gutka is banned in Gujarat.

Known alternately as a reserved seat engagement, this was a
term up until the 1970s in the American motion picture
industry for films screened in limited theatres for fixed
period before a wider release.

Nation, and was accompanied by suitable fanfare involving
opening musical overtures, two acts separated by an
intermission and walkout music.

technology firm had this to say :
“Choosing a name for a global sub-brand is incredibly challenging
because of the legal process and the “connotation check”, where
specific names are translated into myriad languages to see if they
mean anything they shouldn’t and cause unnecessary confusion.
The name chosen means hope and represents the aspirations of
consumers in growth economies, especially India, where a billion
people are waiting to get connected. What’s more, the name
passed both tests with flying colors, enabling it to be chosen as the
new name. “
