NoSQL matters, on that much I'm sure we can all agree. But if we take a closer look, what really matters when it comes to choosing a data store and/or a data processing platform? What really matters when it comes to getting the most out of that platform? And what is really going to matter as we take things to the next level?
What if the reason everyone seems so anti-LMS is that they are not structured correctly? LMS design, as one large single system, is setup to fail the OER community. MOOCs are at least a push in the right direction, but their frameworks are often closed, discouraging open development. If we had truly open, community driven platform for the creation of educational resources, we might see more truly OER materials being created.
This is the position ELMS Learning Network (ELMSLN) takes in its approach to edtech design. ELMSLN takes the major functionality of an LMS and spreads it out across a suite of open source tools. The experience is glued together by single-sign-on technologies like LTI to enable the best system selection for the job without sacrificing user experience.
These tools a built on a framework that includes other open systems such as Drupal and Piwik. Piwik allows for a Google analytics style framework but open source and data is hosted with whoever is utilizing it. This can used both for tracking and general data about students, or for statistical analysis of how effective OER are in reaching different global audiences.
Drupal 7, is a highly flexible yet complex CMS used to power high scale development projects. While Drupal is traditionally difficult to work with, ELMSLN packages it up in such a way that's easy both for code developers and content authors to understand. What it brings with it is a community of experts authoring functionality that can all be utilized to deliver courses and OER. The best part is that by aligning with this community, ELMSLN has access to the knowledge and expertise of thousands of contributed modules and highly trained developers who don't need to have any understanding of edtech in order to help improve it!
ELMSLN also comes packaged with support for LTI 1.0 provider capabilities for integration with current LMS offerings. This enables faculty at existing universities and colleges to keep their materials outside the LMS, yet still securely pass their traditional students through to their content seamlessly. ELMSLN's networked approach to edtech development, can allow OER material to reside in one toolset (out in the open) without fear of opening oneself up to PII or FERPA violations.
Part of the resistance to OER production is the technical and privacy barriers to participation, which are at the heart of how ELMSLN has been constructed. Attendees will walk away with a sense of the transformative nature of Drupal, who's using ELMSLN and how to get involved.
From Agile over DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering, the next popular discipline is Platform Engineering.
While Platform Engineering doesn’t kill DevOps or anything else, an effective platform will elevate engineering productivity and system reliability.
There are many common misunderstandings and pitfalls that reduce our ability to realize the potential of Platform Engineering. This talk covers ways we as industry, organizations and teams get Platform Engineering wrong. After this talk you will have gotten some new ways to look at Platform Engineering, see the challenges and have gotten some pointers to get you started in a good direction.

Successfully developing Cloud Native applications is often regarded from a purely technological perspective - what design aspects have to be considered, what frameworks are best fitting and so on. However, there are many more especially non-technological factors that you have to take into account and that will influence your success. In this talk, I would like to draw your attention to these factors and share the experiences and learnings that we made when developing our first Cloud Native applications.
Real World Lessons Using Lean UX (Workshop)Bill Scott
Half Day Workshop given 5/22/2013 at WebVisions Portland.
In this workshop Bill will explore the mindset of LeanUX and how it relates to bring products to life in the midst of big organizations that don't normally think "Lean". He will look at how teams can create a strong partnership between product, design & engineering in a way that tears down the walls and instead focuses on three key principles:
Shared understanding
Deep collaboration
Continuous customer feedback
The workshop will take a look at how Bill has been able to apply Lean UX at PayPal — a place that in recent years has been the total antithesis of the lean startup idea. With very specific examples, he will share lessons learned applying lean to the full product life cycle as well as how it relates to agile development.
Finally, the workshop looks at the technology stack. In the last few years there has been an explosion of open source technology stacks that can support rapidly creating products, launching them to scale and rapidly iterating on them when live. While startups embrace these stacks from the get-go, large organizations struggle with how to embrace this change. This workshop will also look at the shift that has happened, what is driving this change, and how organizations can embrace this stack and how to marry Lean Tech with Lean UX.
Radical Roadmapping - Creating Synchronized Agile Product and Technology Road...Matt Roberts
This session will discuss why a company would create and maintain three major artifacts - Innovation Roadmap, Infrastructure/ Platform Roadmap, and Operations/DevOps Roadmap - as well as the process to do so. Further, it will cover how to synchronize them in order to move away from making "OR" decisions to making "AND" decisions that will please all stakeholders. It will also discuss key cultural changes that must be present in order to achieve maximum benefit from this approach and challenges experienced along the way to making this a reality at Socialware, a SaaS product company. Finally, this session will include real world examples of the evolution of these roadmaps over 18 months that participants can take away and use as guidelines for their own situations.
This was presented at the Keep Austin Agile 2016 conference, the #AgileAustin Product SIG and Product Camp Austin 2016 (#PCATX17)

Why do most machine learning projects never make it to productionCameron Vetter
Machine Learning is quickly becoming a ubiquitous technology and expected skill of development teams. In 2019 a stunning 87% of Data Science projects never made it into production. What will you do to make sure that your ML and Data Science projects succeed?
This talk will focused on digging deeper into that static and help to explain what goes wrong, why it goes wrong, and what I do to mitigate these issues.
You’ll leave with a deep understanding of ML project failures, and some advice on how to improve your projects chance of success. You also will learn how to fail quickly in ML model development and pivot towards a path of success.
Mainframe often termed old world juggernaut of software industry, but still holds large trillions of data in Banking, Insurance, Travel, Hospitality industry, has an impeccable track record of robust processing and security. But often the fast changing Digital world and Mobile eco system, manifests a challenge to Mainframe systems, in terms seamless compatibility. So that organizations can leverage competitive edge to have mobile eco system as part of their IT solution to gain the dynamic edge yet leverage Mainframe as their system of records to leverage stability.
In this talk will share a generic case study of major bank how they leveraged in making their Mainframe eco system nimble and compatible with Mobile eco system using Agile, Devops and Micro services in tandem to leverage competitive advantage and cost savings.

As contents published on the Internet are becoming more and more dominated by videos, requirements on the language translation have also changed. Specifically, video publishers and distributors have a significant interest in balancing both the translation time and the accuracy. To this end, Pactera has invested in solutions, which leverage machine translation to reduce the overall translation time, and recruit human translators to improve the accuracy in a Wikipedia-like fashion. At Pactera, we aim to help video contents to reach billions of people that were not possible before.
Review processes as the last step in quality assurance workflows are “notorious for causing delays and frustrations”. The reason normally is a flawed process: Many manual steps for the PMs, the lack of intuitive, layout-oriented collaboration software, plus the expectation of review to “fix a broken translation” in the last second rather than giving strategic process input. globalReview shifts this paradigm: As an integrated, collaborative platform with full layout editing it provides a positive review experience. At the same time, it pushes quality upstream applying DQF principles: Flexible content profiles define precise quality expectations; issue categories and scoring effectively gauge and also track translation quality over time; a sampling module allows for fast yet accurate quality evaluation. Put together, this allows the customer to raise the process from painful review to strategic quality management and gain valuable business intelligence.
A global P2P Trading Platform for TMs will be introduced. Tmxmall TM marketplace is the core, and client TM software and CATs are the input and output respectively. User of CATs is able to search the TMs of client users while it does not require client users to upload TMs to the cloud.
The presentation will introduce the NLP technologies used in Shiyibao and the main product features, covering the following points:
Function of giving automatic grades for translations based on translation quality automatic evaluation algorithm;
Function of giving automatic comments based on rules matching;
Function of sorting translations according to their similarity or some specific fragments to dramatically improve the efficiency of reviewing and commenting on translations.
In today’s digital economy, content is becoming smaller, more fragmented, and in need of on-demand translation in minutes and around the clock. Traditional localization models are no longer sufficient in meeting these always-on, agile, fast, and small translation requirements of the digital age. This is why mobile translation services like Stepes that are able to deliver quality, speed, and scalability are poised to see tremendous growth. During this 6-minute presentation, Stepes will demonstrate live its instant human translation service for micro content. Powered by human translators from around the world, Stepes is the world’s first mobile translation ecosystem delivering quality translation services using a networking model similar to Uber and Lyft.
For the language service industry, the biggest challenge is still, regardless if it’s for conventional language service mode or cloud-based service mode, translator resources. Using technology to help us map out the most suitable translators for each project is the key to ensure the high translation quality.
Computer Aided Translation Training System (CATS) provides a package solutions to the problems of translation translation. CATS combines artificial intelligence, data collection, and visualization of information technology, which makes the translation teaching, class management and monitoring on one single platform areality. Translation and interpretaton teaching resources on CATS are updated regularly into detailed categories, making the teaching materials easy to access. CATS supports translation and interpretation teaching and practices, company internships as well as scientific research.
Most of LSPs have not converted the translated bilingual documents to TM till now. Even the LSPs have established TMs, they are also confronted with disordered management of TMs and low efficiency. This report will share the way of quick TM establishment with Tmxmall Cloud-Based Smart Aligner, the way of Management of large-scale TMs with Private Cloud-Based TM for achieving pre-translation with large-scale TMs and team cooperation and etc.. Besides, the report will introduce Tmxmall TM marketplace, which is expected to promote TM sharing. Finally, we will share the experience of LSPs on alignment and Private Cloud-Based TM management for reducing translation costs and increasing profits.
SDL is the leader in global content management and language translation solutions. With more than 20 years of experience, SDL helps companies build relevant online experiences that deliver transformative business results on a global scale. Translation Industry continues to grow, and Freelancers, LSPs and Corporate clients all see increased demand as more and more content is created, so we have to address them all. As a Market-leading translation productivity tool, SDL Trados Studio is trusted by over 200,000 translation professionals to boost productivity, control quality and aid collaboration. SDL has launched Trados Studio 2017. This presentation will introduce SDL Trados Studio 2017 and highlight SDL’s new productivity booster- UPLIFT, which is well welcomed by global clients.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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!

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:

This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

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.
