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.

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.
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!

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

GURURBRAHMA GURURVISHNUH
2. GURURDEVO MAHESHVARAH
GURUH SAKSHAT PARABRAHMA
TASMAISHRI GURAVE NAMAH
I salute my Guru, who is Brahma,
Vishnu and Mahesh called
Gunamaya i.e. the penultimate
truth; and the Parabrahma; i.e. the
ultimate truth.
Apparently I wanted to study something
world famous and ultimate in every
sense. But now it appears that there was
much more to it than this. Whether I
studied Gita or Gita itself made me study
it, is a moot question and I feel; the latter
may be truer.
When I seriously began to study it; about
twenty years ago, I found many
contradictions.
3. For example, in fourth chapter, Krishna
says in the same verse, (Chaturvarnayam
maya srustam…) that he created four
VARNAs and also he did not create
them. Also, even as Krishna advocates
the war (tasmat uttishtha kaunteya
yuddhaya kruta nishchaya…2nd chapter,
nirashi nirmamo bhootva yuddhaya kruta
nishchaya.. 3rd chapter), he also upholds
nonviolence and control of mind in most
of the chapters e.g. (ahinsa
satyamakrodham.. 16th chapter,
moodhagrahenamatnoyat …17th
chapter, ) as a virtue.
Similarly, Krishna disapproves Arjuna’s
arguments in 1st chapter about VARNA
sankar, (ashochyana va shochastvam
prajnya vadanscha bhashase.. 2nd
chapter.. ) he uses the same argument
4. (yadi hyaham na varteyam …and utside
yurime lokam… 3rd chapter).
In 2nd chapter his argument (akirtim cha
pi bhutani….and bhayat ranat
uparatam… etc) about “what people
would say”, appears to be too superficial
and enlightening or philosophical.
One can quote many such contradictions,
but that is not the purpose of this writing.
The purpose of this writing is; to share
my experiences and perceptions as I
went on studying Gita.
Apparently; the reason why I kept on
studying and by hearting inspite of
contradictions was; I realized the need to
contemplate on the vast canvas of all 700
verses at any given point of time and
possibly resolve the contradictions; even
5. while traveling or walking and without
having to refer a book!
But in reality, I have not quite
understood why I kept on reciting and by
hearting Gita, inspite of the
contradictions! It appears now, that the
light in Gita consumed my
consciousness, without me being aware
of it and kept on absorbing my being in
itself!
The persistence inspite of pains and
agony of disagreement, being beyond my
desire or voluntary will, may be because
of the roots it has in my previous birth.
All this may be a continuation of what I
had to leave half way in my last birth.
You don’t have to believe in this; but I
must not hesitate to state it! Life is
ANUBANDHA and NITYAGA i.e.
6. continues and the continuity is evident in
such phenomena. One may appreciate
this or discard as a flight of imagination!
I leave it to one’s own perceptions and
experience!
I had tried to write on Gita about ten to
twelve years back, but later I stopped as I
was not quite satisfied or at ease; with
my own interpretations.
Now I am convinced that Gita enlightens
us for the journey of ignorance to
enlightenment, individuality to
universality and timed and mortal
existence to trans-temporal immortal
consciousness.
Gita deals with various physical,
instinctual, emotional and intellectual
activities at individual level, the
7. relationship of these with the universe
and the past, present and future; and the
nature of our cosmic being.
It deals with principles involved in what
happens in an individual, society, and in
universe, from all eternity to all eternity!
I have realized that I may not understand
Gita, I may misunderstand Gita and I
may partially understand Gita. Complete
understanding of Gita is impossible,
because it is trans-intellectual i.e. beyond
three levels of consciousness and four
modes of communication called
VAACHA viz. PARA, PASHYANTI,
MADHYAMA and VAIKHARI.
However, I have the freedom to keep on
studying Gita and merge with my own
cosmic consciousness and be empowered
enough to quit my intellectual,
8. instinctual, emotional and intellectual
realms (apart from material possessions)
smoothly and diligently akin to a
blossoming flower that emanates its
pleasant fragrance!
Now before I go ahead, I must state here,
that NAMASMARAN enabled the much
necessary paradigm shift for
understanding Gita and Gita made it
possible to adhere to apparently
meaningless and unglamorous activity
such as NAMASMARAN. But most
importantly it is the cosmic
consciousness (Guru) that has made all
this possible for the benefit of everyone!
I am planning to write on individual
chapters as and when it becomes
feasible. But in as much as I don’t want
to keep any copyrights; so that anybody
9. could utilize these shared perceptions
freely, I would like to state clearly; that
proper use of these would aid in
universal blossoming and misuse
(plagiarism in any form) of this material
would prove retrogressive, detrimental
and hence hazardous to the misusers and
their readers; and hence to everyone.
