Abstract: kaChing powers the largest social investment site on the web with nearly 500,000 registered users. Our mission is to make the investment world open by offering transparent investment vehicles that directly compete with mutual funds.
Over the past year and a half, we have built a large feature set and evolved our software continuously with very short iterations and (almost) no regression. In this talk, I will present our experience building a large test-driven code base from the ground up. Using concrete examples, we will have a look at component based APIs, declarative programming, minimizing the concepts of an API, specific cases of separation of concern and interactions with third-party software. We will look at multiple programming paradigms from languages such as Scala, shell script and Prolog and see how these ideas can be embedded as syntactic sugar in your Java.

Boxcars and Cabooses: When One More XHR Is Too MuchPeter Chittum
RESTful APIs have simplified backend access providing clean URL-based resource representations using standard HTTP methods such as GET and POST. But growth in the number of these APIs can lead to inefficiencies: if an app needs to access many of these resources at once, performance can bog down and user experience can suffer, especially for mobile devices.
'Boxcarring' is the bundling together of multiple HTTP requests into a single request. For example, a client framework might abstract the transport layer and bundle multiple requests into a single call. On the server, a RESTful API must be surfaced to accept a POST to multiple resource representations in one request. This talk will demonstrate both client and server side examples of boxcar requests.

Developing an Immune System — The Hard and Soft Skills required to avoid OutagesPascal-Louis Perez
In just three years, Square has achieved ubiquitous recognition for mobile card processing grossing over $10B a year in credit card transactions. At the heart of Square's technology are many financial systems which must operate safely, correctly, and sustain rapid growth.
During this tech talk, Pascal will describe the concept of an immune system, go over best practices, share lessons leaned and provide a detailed layering of best practices. This talk will cover non-controversial topics such ad TDD, but from new angles. We'll also cover emerging practices like continuous deployment, and softer areas such as engineering management practices geared towards safety. You'll come out of this session with a fresh perspective on how to build software.
Continuous deployment is a a process that allows companies to release software in minutes instead of days, weeks, or months.
Pascal-Louis Perez will describe how to use continuous deployment to iterate so fast that you run circles around the competition. He will cover the high level concepts as well as the nitty gritty details including examples from the continuous deployment system that he and his team developed at KaChing.
Pascal-Louis is the VP of Engineering and CTO at KaChing, where he practices continuous deployment continuously.
He previously worked at Google and holds a Master's degree in Computer Science from Stanford University.
At kaChing (www.kaching.com), we are on a 5-minute commit-to-production cycle. We have adopted continuous deployment as a way of life and as the natural next step to continuous integration.
In this talk, I will present how we achieved this extreme iteration cycle. We will start at a very high level and look at the two fundamental aspects of software: transformations, which are stateless data operations, and interactions, which deal with state (such as a database, or an e-mail server). With this background we will delve into practical matters and survey kaChing's testing infrastructure by motivating each category of tests with different kind of problems often encountered. Finally, we will look at software patterns that lend themselves to testing and achieving separation of concerns allowing unparalleled software composability.
(This talk will focus on a Java environment even though the discussion will be largely applicable.)

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.
