Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
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!
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.
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:

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.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

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.

Editor's Notes
In a school where 21st Century students are actively engaged in successfully learning a challenging curriculum, they are completing authentic tasks that they see as being relevant to the life they will lead once they are outside of school. The world they live in outside of school does not seem to end at the classroom door. They collaborate with their peers and communicate with multiple audiences to answer questions and construct their own solutions to problems relating to the field of discipline they are studying. They are developing higher order thinking skills using multiple sources of input and have varied ways to master, and show mastery, of concepts. (NETS S)
Image from National Education Technology Plan p11
The teachers in such a school access a wide variety of resources to provide rich learning experiences for their students. They collaborate with other teachers to share knowledge and lessons. They stay up to date with research on teaching and learning as well as in their discipline. Teachers frequently assess their students through both formative and summative assessments, including alternative assessments. Student data is frequently monitored to guide the teacher’s planning for individuals and classes. Technology is used at all phases of instruction, when it is appropriate to the educational objective. Teachers model, and students practice, ethical, safe, and responsible behaviors when using technology. (NETS T)
Image from National Education Technology Plan p40
What is the current Status of Educational Technology in Our Schools?
On all counts, based on the data from our surveys and personal observation in our buildings, a start has been made in each of these areas, but continued work is needed. The technology plan should include goals which allow for further individualization of learning experiences, teaching and learning strategies which are tailored to the needs of this new generation of students, exposure to 21st century work force skills, and introduction to active involvement in the global community.
There is an employee training lab at the Corwin IB School where teachers can take free classes in diverse types of training. This month, the offerings include SmartBoard Training Kick-off, the first two hours of a 7.5 hour after school class in the use of a SmartBoard.
Online courses are available for Clickers, SmartBoard, Mobi, and Promethean boards.
Classes can be scheduled at individual schools on request if there are five or more teachers who wish for the same training.
Online training through outside agencies is promoted on the technology department website, including training through PBS TeacherLine and Verizon/Thinkfinity.
Last year, 29 EETT grant participants took part in monthly, full-day, trainings that offered instruction and lesson-sharing opportunities in the use of the clickers, Mobi board, document camera, flip video camera, and digital projector that each had received. The same cadre of teachers took part in the ISTE conference over the summer. The materials and lesson plans created by this group formed the core of material used to start a district-wide integration wiki, intended as a resource for teachers.[
