Today, I will tell about the current status and latest novelties of XQuery. We will start with briefly touching it’s history to review its original scope, followed by a description of various of XQueries extensions. Some of the latest proposals will come by. We will also explore the territories beyond its original scope.
W3C about XQuery:
“XQuery is replacing proprietary middleware languages and Web Application development languages.”
Just remember:
XQuery is not just for querying XML!

Level 101 for Presto: What is PrestoDB?Ali LeClerc
Presto is a widely adopted federated SQL engine for federated querying across multiple data sources. With Presto, you can perform ad hoc querying of data in place. For today’s “data hacker”, Presto helps solve challenges around time to discovery and the amount of time it takes to do ad hoc analysis.
In Level 101, you’ll get an overview of Presto, including:
A high level overview of Presto & most common use cases
The problems it solves and why you should use it
A live, hands-on demo on getting Presto running on Docker
Real world example: How Twitter uses Presto at scale
Xml holland - XQuery novelties - Geert JostenDaidalos
Latest news on Xquery standards: XQuery is gaining popularity. It has been used for many web applications around the world since its release. It is replacing proprietary middleware languages, in particular those for disclosing (XML) databases. The core standard is designed for querying of large collections of XML only, but several additional standards are in progress to get more functionality. Other additions add to the strength and maturity of XQuery as a programming language itself. Learn more? Read the presentation by Geert Josten, one of our Senior Content Engineers, presented last week at XML Holland in the Hardcore XML track.

Migration from a Commercial Search Platform (specifically FAST ESP) to Lucene/Solr
Presented by Michael McIntosh, VP, Enterprise Search Technologies, TNR Global
There are many reasons that an IT department with a large scale search installation would want to move from a proprietary platform to Lucene Solr. In the case of FAST Search, the company’s purchase by Microsoft and discontinuation of the Linux platform has created an urgency for FAST users.
This presentation will compare Lucene/Solr to FAST ESP on a feature basis, and as applied to an enterprise search installation. We will further explore how various advanced features of commercial enterprise search platforms can be implemented as added functions for Lucene/Solr. Actual cases will be presented describing how to map the various functions between systems.
Taking Advantage of XMetaL’s XInclude SupportXMetaL
In XMetaL Author 6.0 we introduced “Support for modular XML documents via W3C XInclude”. Beyond the checkbox on the marketing datasheet, what does this support really mean for partners and customers? As an XMetaL implementer, you can provide your end users with new content reuse capabilities. We take a look at what XMetaL allows, and what you need to do to allow your end users to take advantage of this powerful new feature.

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:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).

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.
