SESSION ABSTRACT
You’ve been a .NET developer for the last 10 years. You love Visual Studio. You can spit out C# like a boy scout can tie a knot. But now your boss wants you to build an iPad app for the company. Or maybe you got a good deal on a Mac on eBay and you’ll finally write that cool iPhone app that will top the other 600K in the iOS App Store. So where do you get started? What development environment do you use? How do you write apps in Objective-C compared to C#? What other tools & libraries can you use? This session is your survival guide to the world of iOS development as seen from the eyes of a .NET developer. We’ll start from the basics and build our first iOS app, using analogies and comparisons from the familiar world of Visual Studio and .NET as our guide. We’ll also discuss how to structure our app project, how to test & deploy our app, and we’ll even take a quick look at some of the new developer features in iOS 7.
We'll also discuss how to cloud-enable your apps using Microsoft Azure Mobile Services, which features native support for iOS developers.
You’ll learn to blend in with the Apple crowd and talk like a true native in no time! If you’ve ever considered dipping your toes in the iWaters, this session is your chance to take your first dive.

Pentesting iOS Apps - Runtime Analysis and ManipulationAndreas Kurtz
Apple iOS Apps are primarily developed in Objective-C, an object-oriented extension and strict superset of the C programming language. Objective-C supports the concepts of reflection, also known as introspection. This describes the ability to examine and modify the structure and behavior (specifically the values, meta-data, properties and functions) of an object at runtime.
This talk discusses the background, techniques, problems and solutions to Objective-C runtime analysis and manipulation. It will be discussed how running applications can be extended with additional debugging and runtime tracing capabilities, and how this can be used to modify instance variables and to execute or replace arbitrary object methods of an App.
Moreover, a new framework to assist dynamic analysis and security assessments of iOS Apps will be introduced and demonstrated.

Build software like a bag of marbles, not a castle of LEGO®Hannes Lowette
If you have ever played with LEGO®, you will know that adding, removing or changing features of a completed castle isn’t as easy as it seems. You will have to deconstruct large parts to get to where you want to be, to build it all up again afterwards. Unfortunately, our software is often built the same way. Wouldn’t it be better if our software behaved like a bag of marbles? So you can just add, remove or replace them at will?
Most of us have taken different approaches to building software: a big monolith, a collection of services, a bus architecture, etc. But whatever your large scale architecture is, at the granular level (a single service or host), you will probably still end up with tightly couple code. Adding functionality means making changes to every layer, service or component involved. It gets even harder if you want to enable or disable features for certain deployments: you’ll need to wrap code in feature flags, write custom DB migration scripts, etc. There has to be a better way!
So what if you think of functionality as loose feature assemblies? We can construct our code in such a way that adding a feature is as simple as adding the assembly to your deployment, and removing it is done by just deleting the file. We would open the door for so many scenarios!
In this talk, I will explain how to tackle the following parts of your application to achieve this goal: WebAPI, Entity Framework, Onion Architecture, IoC and database migrations. And most of all, when you would want to do this. Because… ‘it depends’.

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.

2. Foreword
• The goals of this talk are
• to give some starting points
• to present somewhat more specific details of interest
• It is not an exhaustive presentation of Xcode
• For more information on a specific subject, please
refer to any of the following:
• Documentation
• Mailing Lists / Forums
• Google
3. Background
• What is Xcode?
• Appleʼs IDE for Mac and iPhone/iPad development
• History
• Roots in NeXTStep, late 80ʼs, early 90ʼs (PB)
• Introduced in 2003, as a replacement for good old Project
Builder
• Evolves over time, now at version 3.2 (April 2010)
• How to get it?
• Comes with Snow Leopard DVD
• Available for free from ADC (online registration)
4. Main Features
• Build System (~Makefile)
• dependencies, command-line, distributed build across
network, configuration of app targets, compiler integration...
• Source Code Editor
• Code completion and coloring, symbol indexing,
navigation, ...
• Debugger
• Tight gdb integration, step by step, runtime variable
inspection, remote debug...
• Documentation
• Contextual help, guides, reference.
• Organizer
• Projects repository + Device browser
6. Introduction
• What is an App? (developer point of view)
MyApp.app/
Contents/
MacOS/
MyApp
B Resources/
U MyApp.icns
I image1.tiff
L en.lproj/
D MainWindow.nib
fr.lproj/
MainWindow.nib
7. Creating an App: Fast Start
• Keep head out of water, dive only when needed.
• Create a Project from a Template
• Many pre-configured project. Use them as starting point.
• Build and Run. There you go.
8.
9. Xcode Project
• Anatomy of an Xcode project
Target A: Framework Target B: Application
Sources Sources
.m, .h, .py .m, .h, .py
Resources Resources
.tiff, .aiff, .png, .strings .tiff, .aiff, .png, .strings
etc. etc.
10. Targets
• You need one to build an app, framework, library
• Basically, a target keeps track of
• all needed files (sources, resources),
• external library dependencies,
• settings to build
• A target is composed of “Build Phases”
• Sequence of operation to create a product
• Compile sources + Link
• Copy resources in app bundle
• etc.
11. Build Settings
• Configuration of target, compiler, linker settings...
• Inheritance (order is important)
• Command Line
• Target
• Project
• 2 Common Configurations: Debug & Release
• Debug
• Removes code optimization (runs slower)
• Debugging symbols
• Builds only one architecture
• Release
• Optimizes code (runs faster)
• Removes debugging symbols
• Builds as universal binary
• Define new ones for iPhone (Ad Hoc, App Store Distribution)
15. Focus on Efficiency
• Make all you can to be productive.
• Efficient Navigation (Key / Mouse)
• Code Reuse through Cross Project Depʼs
• Editor Scripts
• Config Files
• Smart Debugging
• Task Automation
16. Efficient Navigation
• Keyboard Navigation
• Cmd-Double-Click, Opt-Double-Click: go to def. / go to doc.
• Cmd-0: Project window
• Cmd-Shift-E: Maximize Editor
• Cmd-B: Build, Cmd-Shift-B: Show build results
• Cmd-R: Run, Cmd-Shift-R: Show run window
• Cmd-Y: Debug, Cmd-Shift-Y: Show debugger
• Cmd-Ctrl-O: Show Organizer Window
• Opt-Cmd-Up: switch to header/source
• Cmd-=: Next Warning/Error
• Cmd-`: Next Window
17. Efficient Navigation
• You can customize Xcode shortcuts in the Prefs
• Custom Shortcuts
• Cmd-T: Open Quickly (same as Text Mate)
• then type file name or function name !
• ESC: complete, Opt-ESC: code sense complete
• then F1 to move cursor to arg
• Opt-Cmd-Left/Right: previous/next focus point (+Ctrl for file)
• Opt-Cmd-Down: Pop Symbol PopUp (alphabetically sorted !)
19. Code Re-use
• Your project may depend on another. Example:
• Framework: CompanyBase.framework
• Has common categories to Cocoa types
• Handles license and About Panels
• ...
• App1, App2 depend on CompanyBase.framework
• To get it to build automatically then:
• Import CompanyBase.xcodeproj into App1.xcodeproj
• Setup target dependency + link + copy build phase
• Configuration names (Debug, Release) are passed along
21. Smart Debugging
• Interactive Debugger
• Step by step, variable inspection (hover)
• gdb command invocation
• po, print, call
• Useful: apropos word, help command
• Fix and Continue (Mac only!)
• Change code while program is running
• No need to restart
• Customizing variable display: Data Formatters
• Ex: x={$VAR.translation[0]}:v, y={$VAR.translation[1]}:v
• This is global
• To revert to original, just delete your stuff
23. Task Automation
• The main idea is:
★ “Fix a bug, then deploy your app with 3 mouse clicks”
• Wouldnʼt it be great if you could automatically
• remove headers of embedded framework
• prepare signed zip (Sparkle)
• have embedded PSDs converted to PNG
• encrypt embedded Core Image kernels
• upload your app to the server and deploy it
• Well, you can.
