Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice and video calls over the internet. It was originally created in 2003 as an alternative to traditional phone service that offered free calls between users. Skype grew rapidly due to features like file sharing and video conferencing, and was later acquired by eBay in 2005 and Microsoft in 2011 as its popularity increased globally, especially for cheaper international calls. While free for basic use, Skype utilizes proprietary VOIP technology and has both advantages like low-cost communication worldwide and disadvantages like requiring both parties to have the Skype software installed.
A 60-slide survey of the Internet of things: market philosophy and theory. Philosophy: Horizontal IoT platforms are stupid. Build something people love. You earn the right for others to base their business upon yours with deeply entrenched vertical value. Making: a survey of a few elements to crafting connected products. Local connectivity, Intelligence, internet connectivity, and – if you insist – IoT platforms.
How to run a global, cloud scale event for 10000 peopleRobBos10
We want to tell you a story, a story about an event that spanned 35 countries, reached 10.000 participants, involved 1.400 websites and databases, raised 8 disruptions on those websites and even caused Azure DevOps outages. In which we reached the limits of the cloud and still were able to spend only half of the budget. We will tell you how not only organize an event on this scale, but also how to automate it; from pipelines to deploy the Azure infrastructure, to the actual event day automation. What did we run into, what did we use and what have we learned.
Domain Driven Design with Onion Architecture is a powerful combination of Architecture Patterns that can dramatically improve code quality and can help you learn a great deal about writing "clean" code.

Since the beginning of software, we have bundled frequently-used functionality into libraries -- both our own, and those created by third parties. APIs tell software developers how to use a library, and make it possible for developers to treat libraries as black boxes, considering only what the library does, not how it does it.
Today, as software moves increasingly to the Web, APIs and libraries are also moving to the Web. This means that you can now outsource, by means of Web APIs, a huge amount of your application's functionality.
What does this mean for software developers? What does this mean for the future of software development? In this talk, I describe the past, present, and future of APIs, and how I believe the Web is changing the landscape.
As technology and software design practices morph and change, Lowe’s Digital has had to do the same. Moving from a single monolithic web application to multiple mobile applications for both consumers and associates has forced us to look at how we manage our development lifecycle differently. This complex landscape has changed how we look at how we leverage Akamai and their array of solutions in both our lower and production level environments. In this presentation we will discuss where we started, the challenges we faced along the way, and how we are leveraging tools and Akamai API's to streamline our solutions delivery pipeline.
APIs are not SOA++: APIs vs. SOA vs. Integration
More than an incremental change to business, the use of APIs in the digital economy represents a major paradigm shift that requires harnessing all the Internet innovations of the last 10 years. Learn about an approach designed from the ground up for digital business and what’s required to achieve success.
API documentation is not a new topic, but we still have undocumented APIs and poorly documented ones. For both public and private APIs, the documentation can make or break the developer experience. Learn how to build awareness, gain adoption, and maintain your API documentation.

Skype for business understanding what is new, preview or unchangedFabrizio Volpe
After seven months from the release date of Skype for Business, it is a good moment for an assessment. We will see what is new, what is available as a preview and what has not changed from Lync Server 2013. The session will be a high-level overview of the innovations in the product. We will talk about topics Video Interop Server role, improvements in server management and voice and meetings capabilities in Office 365 that are now in preview (Skype Meeting Broadcast, PSTN Conferencing and Cloud PBX).
Skype has seen dramatic growth in last decade - hundreds of millions of active users, billions of calling minutes and Skype clients on all major platforms. All that was made possible by a smart combination of great technology and development process. In this talk I will briefly summarize Skype's agile journey in last couple of years and share some lessons learned from running a team developing Skype app for Windows 8.

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.
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.
