Is Xp still extreme?
The document discusses the history and principles of Extreme Programming (XP). It traces XP back to its origins on the Chrysler Comprehensive Compensation System project in 1993. The core values of XP like communication, simplicity, feedback and courage are explained. Fundamental XP practices like pair programming, planning game, test-driven development and continuous integration are also outlined. The document then considers how technology advances since XP was first developed have changed how software teams work. It concludes by questioning how "extreme" software teams are willing to be in exposing themselves to achieve success for their customers, teams and society.
Tips sukses berkarir sebagai developer dan programmer 2021
Tetap kembangkan skill mu di era pandemi. Jadikan hari-harimu lebih produktif dengan asah pengetahuan dan skill di Dicoding Event. Kali ini Dicoding LIVE disponsori oleh IDCamp dengan tema "Tips Sukses Berkarir sebagai Developer dan Programmer 2021"
Developer dan programmer kini menjadi salah satu pekerjaan yang paling diminati. Jadi, tidak heran jika banyak orang yang tertarik mencoba profesi ini untuk berkarir. Sayangnya masih banyak orang berpikir bahwa bekerja menjadi developer dan programmer hanya berhubungan dengan hal-hal yang bersifat technical, padahal tidak. Banyak hal yang harus dipersiapkan dan diketahui saat ingin mulai berkarier di dunia kerja seperti tools apa yang bisa membantu produktivitas, cara berkomunikasi dengan tim, sampai problem solving masalah dalam tim. Kali ini bersama dengan Andri Suranta Ginting (Mobile Engineer, Gojek) akan kita bahas tips dari pengalaman beliau dalam berkarir sebagai developer dan programmer juga menyiapkan hal technical dan non-technical untuk dikuasai di dunia kerja.
Agile xp crash_course_2010_05_21
This document provides an overview of Agile and eXtreme Programming (XP), including the core values and principles of the Agile Manifesto, roles and practices in XP, and how to adopt and apply XP to projects. It discusses key aspects of XP like short iterations, user stories, frequent releases, test-driven development, refactoring, collective code ownership, and more. The goal is to give the reader a crash course in Agile and XP methodologies.
Charlie Talk - Breaking Rules
The document discusses 5 rules of software development that were made to be broken:
1. Do the simplest thing that could possibly work, but no simpler.
2. Design for reuse, but refactor for reuse.
3. Only hire the smartest engineers, but hire well-rounded teams.
4. Premature optimization is the root of all evil, but be mindful of performance.
5. The customer is always right, but delight customers with transparency and consistency.
The overall message is to be wary of rules in software engineering.
Even More Agile
The document describes how an agile project team at ThoughtWorks refactored their process to address problems like long story card lifecycles, bugs, slow build times, and communication issues between distributed teams. They made changes such as having teams own story cards, using pairing and smaller co-located teams, emphasizing testing, creating visual boards, improving developer environments, and fostering more communication. These process changes have led to visible progress, higher customer trust, improved morale and productivity, and an overall more enjoyable work experience for the team.
Open Source Software Development Practices that Works
The document discusses open source software development practices that focus on being agile and iterative. Some key practices include using user stories instead of heavy documentation, delivering working software in short iterations, estimating tasks by breaking work down, respecting teammates, having daily standups, keeping to-do lists short, writing tests, holding retrospectives, and continuously improving through learning and adjustments. The overall message is that these agile practices work because they are simple, allow flexibility to adapt to changes, and focus on delivering working software.
Alexa, what's next?
A new Alexa skill is quickly built and certified at Amazon. Depending on its complexity, this process can be completed in a few weeks. The same applies to Google Actions. But some people put their hands in their laps afterwards and wonder why their new, innovative voice application does not go through the roof. History repeats itself: 25 years ago, with the advent of the World Wide Web, many HTML projects were published whose content was not updated for a long time. Today nobody would launch a website or a smartphone app and then leave it to itself. Why should it be different with an Alexa skill, a Google Action or a Bixby capsule? In this session you will learn about strategies and solutions to make your voice application up-to-date, interactive and interesting. Use the existing tools of the providers and make sure that your content can easily be kept up-to-date. We will also look at the insights and modernization measures from the three-year operation of one of the first German-speaking Alexa Skills.

Why unvalidated assumption is the enemy of good product
Slides from a tech talk I gave about why validating assumptions is so important to building good products and being a good product manager
Minimum Viable Product 101
1) The document discusses the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) process which helps entrepreneurs test new products and gather feedback to make improvements.
2) An MVP is not a finished product but a process to validate critical assumptions as efficiently as possible to improve chances of success.
3) Common MVP methods mentioned include fake door product videos, landing pages, piecemeal launches, and the wizard of OZ technique.
Test driven, why not?

GROWTH PRACTICES - Cracking the PM Career - CHAPTER 7
This document provides guidance on growth practices for product managers. It discusses several approaches to test hypotheses quickly such as using prototypes and A/B tests. It also discusses designing for sticky usage through notifications, updates, and gamification. The document advises building a product mindset by focusing on the problem to be solved. It recommends prioritizing goals and developing a quality bar by choosing issues to fix while keeping costs in mind. Finally, it suggests considering more radical solutions by expanding perspectives on team size, deadlines, partnerships, and business models.
Support automation with chatbots | Erik Pfannmöller | Founder, Solvemate | DN18
This document discusses lessons learned about developing chatbots for customer support. It covers the make vs buy decision and outlines 5 key lessons:
1) Not every organization qualifies for a chatbot solution.
2) Goals like reducing agent workload or growing revenue without hiring must be set.
3) ROI should be calculated based on setup costs, gains, and ongoing costs.
4) Integrations with other systems are important.
5) Solutions should go live quickly and iteratively to match user needs.
Tips for Sales in IT
Developers often fail projects by starting from scratch each time, having a busy schedule leading to slow responsiveness, and underestimating tasks like testing, project management, and understanding requirements. Clients can fail by closing campaigns permanently after objections to cost and length. Responses to price objections include questioning the client's definition of expense, providing examples of satisfied clients, and proposing milestone-based development. Good sales tactics include providing mockups, wireframes, basic technology knowledge, consulting on technology choices, project examples, explaining the software development lifecycle, and collaborative tools.

Executable Specifications with FitNesse and Selenium
This document discusses using executable specifications with FitNesse and Selenium to minimize miscommunications between business and development teams. It introduces Dawn Cannan and describes the Test Automation Pyramid. Key points covered include defining examples as tests to get everyone on the same page early, preventing bugs, and challenges of test automation in the browser like locating elements and synchronization. The FitNesse framework is presented as a way to define Selenium tests in a wiki accessible to all team members.
Testing the Mysterious Sphere
Testing the Mysterious Sphere
This workshop helps testers get an overview of what to do and what not to do under different circumstances. Then it is observed how they react/respond in those situations from where the learnings are derived. It focusses on the key testing and consulting skills. They can tie it back to real time project experiences.
Through a series of interesting phases with role plays and activities the entire workshop duration is full of energy and interactions.

You have no idea what your users want - WordCamp PDX
Slides from my talk at WordCamp Portland. It's been cleaned up to look nicer than than it did when I gave the talk.
What Happens After The Prototype
The prototype is all done and it seems to work well. Now, how do you get the prototype manufactured reliably and at a reasonable cost? If you're like a lot of small companies, this is not something you do all the time. Finish Line has done more than one thousand projects for more than 250 small companies and we have learned a few things in the process.

This document provides an overview of a workshop to build a virtual pet with JavaScript. The agenda includes reviewing starter code, learning key JavaScript concepts like variables and objects, building the app, and getting solutions. Students will create a pet object with properties like name, weight, and happiness and use functions and conditionals to update the pet's status. The workshop aims to help aspiring developers learn through a hands-on project with support from instructors and teaching assistants.
Grading Rubric For C++
The grading rubric for a C++ programming assignment totals 100 points and evaluates submissions based on specifications (60 points), readability (10 points), reusability (5 points), documentation (10 points), delivery/timeliness (up to 15 points off for late submissions), and efficiency (15 points). The specifications criteria focuses on the program working correctly and meeting all requirements, while efficiency considers optimized code without sacrificing readability or error handling.
We love mockups
This document discusses the benefits of using mockups in communication, including reducing miscommunication and using less text. It lists several goals such as having everyone start using mockups and creating them quickly. It then provides examples of mockups demonstrating an edit profile form, indicators for cache status, and a margarita recipe. It also mentions resources for finding mockups and taking a mockup "master class." The overall message is that mockups can improve communication and work processes by making designs and workflows more visual and clear.
Website optimization through quality experimentation (2)
I talk about quality experimentation methodology, overcoming fear and ideas about how to generate experiment ideas. My intended audience is small to medium size businesses with functioning sites that are looking to improve through increased conversion.
TLC2018 Shyam Sunder: Legoizing Testing
This document discusses an approach called "Legoizing Testing" which breaks testing into reusable "blocks" or components. It presents problems with traditional scripting approaches where changes require rewriting many steps. The Legoizing approach involves identifying atomic, reusable test blocks and allowing testers to assemble scripts by selecting relevant blocks. A demo of a Lego testing tool is provided, showing how it can generate scripts in minutes by selecting scenarios and matching blocks. Feedback indicates the tool has helped reduce scripting time and increased stakeholder satisfaction on one project. The presentation concludes by recommending that others identify reusable testing blocks and provide a self-service tool to build scripts from those blocks.

GROWTH PRACTICES - Cracking the PM Career - CHAPTER 4
The document discusses practices for product managers to cultivate growth. It recommends maintaining a beginner's mindset by watching new user sessions to understand their perspective. Product choices should be driven by customer insights, with a standardized process for gaining user feedback. Insights should be categorized by priority, balancing usability issues against tradeoffs and impact. Senior PMs evangelize insights through examples in meetings, research sharing, talks, and presentations to executives, surfacing the key insight that solves the problem by considering past and future implications.

XConf Coimbatore 2016 - Through the eyes of an Analyst
In an agile environment a Business Analyst is bound to see what lies beyond the tangible. So what happens behind the scenes while trying to arrive at creative solutions?
Design Tips for the Non-Designer
Some people have the misconception that design is just creating ‘pretty pictures’. This is not the case; there is a science to creating the right ‘pretty picture’.
This presentation is aimed at teams who either do not have the luxury of a designer on their team, or they have a designer that works in silo to their team. Small teams of developers, Business Analysts and Quality Analysts will benefit from understanding the finer details of design. Developers will gain empathy for design and a better understanding of how to display content. Quality Analysts will learn how to quickly notice problems with a design before release.
It also demonstrates how to ensure the product you are building is ‘on brand’ and ‘user-centric’, and why this is important to ensure the success of your product.

Liderança compartilhada - "pare de gerenciar pessoas"
O documento discute a liderança compartilhada em organizações complexas, propondo um modelo de gestão baseado em autonomia, auto-organização e propósito evolutivo. Sistemas fractais descentralizados permitem que times se autogerenciem com autonomia e maestria, buscando um propósito comum de forma evolutiva.
Simplify Then Add Lightness
The title of this presentation is taken from two quotes attributed to Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus cars, who said: “adding power makes you faster on the straights; subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere”.
This same philosophy underlies principle 10 of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Simplicity – the art of maximising the work not done – is essential. Principle 10 is the most important and most misunderstood of the Agile principles. It stands out from the other 11 in a number of ways. It is the only one described as an art; the specific phrasing,“maximising the work not done”, is somewhat unusual; and it is the only one to be explicitly called out as essential.
The presentation introduces attendees to the idea that Principle 10 is essential because it underlies, supports and enables everything else and that without unwavering adherence to it, achieving agility in software development or anything else will be compromised.

Agile Methodologies And Extreme Programming
The document discusses Agile development and Extreme Programming (XP). It provides an overview of 12 key practices of XP, including planning games, small releases, test-driven development, pair programming, collective ownership, continuous integration and 40-hour work weeks. It also discusses how XP aims to solve software engineering problems through intensive teamwork, handling changes and staff turnover, and involving customers.
Software Development Essential Skills
The document discusses essential skills that programmers need versus accidental skills. Essential skills are hard to acquire but long-lasting, including things like managing complexity, writing readable code, and limiting bugs. These skills separate good programmers from bad. Accidental skills like knowledge of a specific programming language are easier to obtain but have shorter usefulness. The document advocates spending time on design, planning, unit testing, discussing solutions with others, and considering alternative solutions rather than just focusing on writing code. Developing essential skills through these practices can help programmers continuously learn and improve over the course of their careers.
Agile Methodologies And Extreme Programming - Svetlin Nakov
1. Agile development and Extreme Programming (XP) are methodologies that focus on iterative development, collaboration, and adaptability.
2. XP consists of 12 key practices including simple design, test-driven development, pair programming, and small releases. It aims to improve quality, reduce risks, and adapt to changing requirements.
3. While XP works well for some projects and teams, its practices may not be suitable or flexible enough for all situations. Developers should understand the principles behind XP and tailor practices as needed for their specific projects.
Coderetreat @ CodersTUG
This document outlines an agenda for a coderetreat event. It includes:
- An introduction that describes the event organizer and purpose of learning through sharing.
- An agenda with sessions on test-driven development, extreme programming, cost of change, simple design principles, and mechanics of TDD.
- Descriptions of pair programming, test-driven development, and the Game of Life cellular automaton that will be used in exercises.
- Logistical details like session structure, pairing rotations, and expectations around deleting code between sessions.
Test Driven Development
The document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and design-driven development (DDD). It advocates for writing tests before code using short iterative development cycles. TDD helps produce clean code that fulfills requirements by making developers think about required behavior, providing documentation, and improving quality. Common objections to TDD are addressed, noting that it forces understanding of code and tests, creates reusable modular code, and drives simplicity. Guidelines for effective TDD include writing small focused tests with descriptive intentions that are independent and repeatable.
Test-Driven Development
This document discusses test-driven development (TDD). TDD involves writing tests before code in short cycles of writing tests, code to pass tests, and refactoring. Tests provide clarity about requirements and help discover edge cases early. Tests should be readable and organized with clear setup/teardown. Not all code needs 100% coverage but tests should cover fundamental behaviors. Mocks are used to isolate tests from external dependencies for performance. Behavior-driven development groups tests by behaviors and scenarios to connect similar functionality. The goals of TDD are for tests to be profitable, help maintainability, provide common understanding of behaviors, and ensure quality.
The View - Lotusscript coding best practices
This document discusses best practices for LotusScript coding. It covers topics like code structure, using short logical functions, defensive programming, variable naming conventions, and ensuring variables only exist as long as needed. The goal is to write code that is maintainable, reusable, and robust. Testing practices like test-driven development and separating development, testing, and production environments are also recommended to improve quality.

Test Driven Development Methodology and Philosophy
A technique for building software that guides software development by writing tests. This is the philosophy and state of mind that a developer should change and start following TDD
Mastering Agile Practices to Build High Performing Teams
These slides are from a talk that I gave to the Tampa Bay Agile Meetup on August 19, 2014. The talk was titled "Mastering Agile Practices to Build High Performing Teams". http://www.meetup.com/tampa-bay-agile/events/193898502/
Description:
You've read the books. You already know what your Agile team SHOULD be doing. Your Daily Standup meeting should be short and sweet. Your deployments should be automated. Your Sprint Retrospectives should inspire improvement.
So if you know what to do, why aren't you doing it?
The short answer is because Agile is hard. It takes real discipline and leadership to master even the most basic practices. Many teams have committed to adopting Agile, but they just don’t know how to get to the next level.
In this talk, I will share my real world experiences from years of coaching high performing Agile teams. I will discuss the key practices that must be mastered for a team to become great. Additionally, I will identify useful measurement techniques so that teams know if they are improving.
Extreme Programming practices for your team
This document discusses Extreme Programming (XP) practices for software development teams. It begins by introducing Paweł Lipiński and his background in software development. It then discusses several key XP practices in more detail, including having short iterations of less than 4 weeks, testing features at the end of each iteration, prioritizing work based on business value, maintaining burn down charts, and having no project managers disrupting the team. Further sections provide more context on practices like test-driven development, pair programming, collective code ownership, continuous integration, refactoring, and having a 40-hour work week. The document emphasizes that XP is about creating fun, high-quality, efficient teams through these agile practices.
20 things I wish I had known about modern product development by Andy Birds -...
This document provides 20 tips for modern product development:
1. Focus on solving customer problems rather than talking about methodologies.
2. Dream long-term but plan and evaluate in shorter cycles. Continuously ship work.
3. Focus on outcomes that change customer behavior and drive business impact, not just outputs.
4. Thoroughly understand the problem before solving it. Get customer input to ensure solving the right problem.
Best pratice
The document discusses several important topics for software development including unit testing, clean coding principles, design patterns, and useful development tools. It emphasizes that tests are important for preventing bugs and should be included in all projects. Clean coding principles like DRY, KISS and SRP help produce code that is easier to read, change and maintain. Design patterns provide solutions to common problems and a shared vocabulary for developers. Useful tools include IDEs, version control systems, code analysis tools and text editors which can help programmers work more efficiently if used properly.

Arch factory - Agile Design: Best Practices
This document provides guidance on agile architecture and design principles. It emphasizes that agile design is about responding quickly to change for customers and teams through transparency, lightweight processes, and continuous learning. Key principles discussed include designing incrementally without large upfront design; getting early and continuous feedback; delaying commitment and complexity; and maximizing evolutionary design through reversibility and packaging. The document also covers topics like testing, distributed teams, and delivering frequently.
Intro to TDD
TDD and agile methods originated from attempts to manage large software projects more effectively. TDD involves writing automated tests before code to specify requirements and catch errors early. It helps avoid major redesigns later. Tests should fail initially and then code is written to pass the test, followed by refactoring. Patterns like starting simply, faking dependencies, and generalizing from examples help get code passing tests quickly. Pitfalls include not starting with a failing test or refactoring tests improperly. The session covered TDD history and techniques, with examples and opportunities for further learning.
Agile
This document provides an overview of agile methodology and several agile frameworks. It begins with a brief history of the traditional waterfall model and its limitations. It then introduces the agile manifesto and some core agile principles. Several agile frameworks are described at a high level, including scrum, kanban, extreme programming, and others. Key practices of scrum and extreme programming like iterations, user stories, stand-up meetings, and test-driven development are defined. The document aims to give the reader a broad understanding of agile concepts and some of the most commonly used agile frameworks and practices.
How to Do Kick-Ass Software Development
Software development is hard― keeping developers, testers, designers, product managers and other stakeholders in sync and working on the right things at the right time. Building the systems that customers care about and delivering high-quality code fast are challenges every development team faces. Just being agile isn’t enough; we need to actively think about how we can improve software development processes and techniques. Sven details Atlassian’s coding practices and team dynamics, which include: collaborating fast to develop ideas, helping QA with testing, avoiding meetings to get more work done, experimenting, tightening feedback loops to fail faster, shortening release cycles, and working together happily on different continents. He describes examples where Atlassian has failed, then tried a new concept and kicked ass. These practices make Atlassian developers among the most productive and satisfied in the industry. It's a great way to develop software, and Sven thinks it can work in your organization too.

Design System as a Product
Design System as a Product - Maria Elena Duenias, Esther Butcher
Design systems are a great example where web development and design meet. You can find innumerable resources on the internet, books and conferences on how to build them, and how they are exactly what your organization needs. But, building one requires a lot more than following a recipe. In this talk we are going to discuss how to build a design system as an internal product, and how it evolves to become what the users need.
Designers, Developers & Dogs
Designers, Developers and Dogs: Finding the magic balance between product and tech - Charlotte Vorbeck, ShareNow and Sahil Bajaj
How can an agile delivery team become a successful product team? When does collaboration between product and tech succeed and when not? Why do people in some teams inspire each other while others in the same environment don't speak the same language? In this talk we want to share our learnings and experiences from rebuilding an internal tool for customer support at ShareNow. What could have been just another boring rewrite surprisingly became one of our best experiences in collaboration. We will look at how a joint discovery phase helped us to come up with a shared vision, how a better team setup enabled us to do the necessary work, how focusing on the customer kept us aligned during our journey, and also how we built upon existing collaborative techniques to achieve this new level of cooperation and trust.

More impact with flexible teams
How to create more business impact with flexible teams - Jan Hegewald, Zalando & Rebekka Beels, Zalando
Usually, Software Engineering teams are organized around a fixed set of components which they develop further and maintain. Such component teams gain a high level of expert knowledge about their services. However, with agile product development, it often is difficult to implement the most important initiatives with such teams. This leads to a situation where the teams do not work on the most relevant business topics but on those for the respective team. At Zalando, we introduced a new model where we shape teams flexibly around business goals to create the highest impact. How we organize these teams and which challenges especially for the software quality need to be addressed, will be explored in this talk.

Dual-Track Agile
Dual-Track Agile for Discovery & Development - Adriana Katrandzhieva
The talk will focus on one of the ways teams can ensure continuous delivery and design in their projects. The so-called ‘Dual-track’ model shows the parallel tracks of discovery and development throughout the product design and delivery process. These continually feedback into each other informing new hypothesis that can be tested in order to be proven/disproven. This model is not always easy to implement out of the box and so I will share my own experiences in applying it in practice - what worked, what didn't and how the model can be adjusted to fit different teams and organisational environments.
Developer Experience
This document discusses developer experience (DX) and how to design for it. It begins with introductions of the presenters and defines DX as the experience developers have when using a product. It then discusses understanding developer pain points and personas, designing the developer journey, and using different interfaces like APIs, portals, and CLIs. The document outlines challenges in the design process like getting buy-in and measuring DX metrics. It argues that improving DX benefits business goals like enabling experiments, increasing flexibility, and attracting talent. It concludes that developers are also users and designers, and that DX is important to consider for business reasons.
When we design together
When we design together - Sabrina Mach, Ammara Gafoor and James Emmott
From three distinct perspectives, this talk will contend that design is an activity undertaken by everyone in a software development team. It occurs throughout the process of delivery — not only at the beginning or the end — and it is a powerful instrument for learning about and adapting to the problems our work seeks to solve, which is a shared responsibility. Making the best use of our multidisciplinary expertise in the activity of design requires forms of collaboration that are too often disrupted by the role-based silos that keep us separated and weaken the valuable contribution our diverse approaches could make to our collective efforts. If you care about accelerating time to market, improving customer experience, or building happy and productive teams, you will want to know why and how it matters that we believe ‘design is in everything that we do’.
Hardware is hard(er)
Hardware is hard(er): designing for distributed user experiences in IoT - Claire Rowland, www.clairerowland.com
Designing connected devices and hardware-enabled services is significantly more complex than pure software. There are more devices on which code can run, connectivity and data sharing patterns to consider, and often multiple and varied touchpoints for users to interact with. Pulling this all together into a coherent experience involves strong collaboration between design and engineering, and a systems thinking approach to UX. In this talk, we’ll introduce what designers need to know about the tech, what engineers need to know about UX for IoT, and how to facilitate the whole-collaboration needed to create great products.

Customer-centric innovation enabled by cloud
Working Backwards - Leading organisations achieve growth by marrying customer-obsession with a modern technology strategy. In this upcoming webinar, we’ve partnered with AWS to bring you exclusive insights from one of the world’s most innovative companies, Amazon.
Amazon's Culture of Innovation
The document discusses Amazon's culture of innovation. It emphasizes starting with the customer and working backwards to develop solutions. Amazon focuses on small, autonomous teams that are nimble and own their work. The company's leadership principles guide decision-making and encourage inventiveness, customer obsession, high standards, and long-term thinking to solve customer problems.
When in doubt, go live
The document discusses techniques for establishing shorter feedback loops between developing features and measuring user behavior, including:
1) Shadow traffic which runs new and old features simultaneously to get early feedback without users noticing a difference.
2) Visual reports which assess the quality of a feature through a report (e.g. HTML page) of key metrics.
3) A/B testing which statistically compares user behavior between a control and test group after exposing each to a different variant of a feature. Sample size considerations and statistical significance are discussed.
Don't cross the Rubicon
As a tech leader at ThoughtWorks, a large part of my job involves recommending practices to our clients so they can build and deliver good quality software faster. In doing so repeatedly for many clients I have created a toolkit that contains practical advice from being on the ground. This is what we do, we know it works. When Julius Caesar entered Rome with his army by crossing the river Rubicon, he did something that couldn’t be undone ever again. In your journey as a leader, avoid mistakes that are difficult to correct later. Here are a set of practices that you want to adopt as soon as possible.
Error handling
Handling error conditions is a core part of the software we write. However, we often treat it as a second class citizen, obscuring our intent through abuse of null values and exceptions that make our code hard to understand and maintain. In the functional programming community, it is common to use datatypes such as Option, Either or Validated to make our intentions explicit when dealing with errors. We can leverage the compiler to verify that we are handling them instead of hoping for the best at runtime. This results in code that is clearer, without hidden path flows. We’ll show how we have been doing this in Kotlin, with the help of the Arrow library.
Your test coverage is a lie!
Mutation testing in software development surfaced in academia during the 70's and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity as a legitimate tool in your testing arsenal. In this session we review the conventional testing pyramid, modern approaches to testing software and look at how mutation testing can help fill in those blind spots.
Docker container security
The document discusses security challenges and best practices for Docker containers. It outlines risks at different stages of the container lifecycle from image development to deployment. Key risks include lack of isolation, complex ecosystems, and known vulnerabilities. The document recommends practices like using linting and scanning during development, restricting resources and access controls at deployment, and signing images from trusted sources to improve container security.
Redefining the unit
Mainframes handle 30 billion business transactions each day and 87% of all credit card transactions*, they are not traditionally associated with flexible, fail-fast development approaches. Can we bring the practices of agile, CI/CD and fully automated deployments to applications running on a mainframe? During our talk, we'll tell you a story about test automation; redefining the smallest testable unit of a program. And we'll discuss our learnings from introducing continuous integration and agile practices to the world of insurance and mainframes.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
