Introducing 3 FREE Smart solutions for SQL Server (Adi Sapir, Docco Labs)
As Database experts, we work with SQL Server Databases on a daily basis. We face the same problems every SQL Administrator and/or developer does. And – we spend our time writing solutions for these problems! In this session Adi will introduce the following 3, totally FREE solutions:
· ClipTable – A revolutionary new *anything* to SQL Table importer
· Database File Explorer – a much easier way to explore our database->filegroups->files->storage mapping
· Log Table Viewer – a complete client/server logger solution for SQL Server
Big Data and New Challenges for DBAs (Michael Naumov, LivePerson)
Hadoop has become a popular platform for managing large datasets of structured and unstructured data. It does not replace existing infrastructures, but instead augments them. Most companies will still use relational databases for transactional processing and low-latency queries, but can benefit from Hadoop for reporting, machine learning or ETL. This session will cover:
What is Hadoop and why do I care?
What do people do with Hadoop?
How can SQL Server DBAs add Hadoop to their architecture?
Common Errors That Effect Performance (Adi Cohen, Naya-Tech)
There are a few common errors that have a negative effect on performance. In this session we will review some of them, see why they impact performance and provide alternative solutions. Among the issues we will cover are:
· Misunderstanding of the query plan when using procedures
· Query plan differences between procedures and ad-hoc batches
· The differences between a temporary table and a table variable
· And many more…
Who is afraid of Columnstore Indexes? (Michael Zilberstein, DB-Art)
This talk describes new SQL Server 2012 feature called "columnstore index". In this session we will learn about the differences between columnstore indexes and B-Tree indexes we are used to work with. We will see when it is best to use and when not to use this new index. We will cover limitations that columnstore index imposes on the tables that use it and how to live with those limitations. Like in all my sessions, I won't let you go without some internals – how columnstore index is organized on a physical level and how Query Processor works this new type of index. And of course Demos, Demos, Demos…
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.
