In this session we are going to talk a bit why JetBrains sees the potential in Kotlin comparing to other JVM languages. Then we’ll see how certain language constructs can be used to make Android more enjoyable. Also we’ll look at a DSL for type-safe dynamic layouts and a simple extension plugin that helps to avoid writing ‘findViewById()’ all the time.
Modern, cloud-native applications typically use a microservices architecture in conjunction with NoSQL and/or sharded relational databases. However, in order to successfully use this approach you need to solve some distributed data management problems including how to maintain consistency between multiple databases without using 2PC.
This talk presents several techniques and architectural activities that are useful on agile projects and explains how an agile architect’s role can and should differ from that of a traditional software architect.
This talk will show off Scala.js and how you can get started using it. Starting from nothing, we will build a number of small Scala.js applications, which will hopefully demonstrate this promise. No Scala experience required.
Linux containers provide the ability to reliably deploy 1000s of application instances in seconds, but how do we manage it all? The answer is CoreOS and Kubernetes. This talk will help attendees wrap their minds around complex topics such as distributed configuration management, service discovery, and application scheduling at scale.
In this session, Joanne will present principles, stories and practical suggestions on how to build a successful organizational culture that supports experimentation and learning with the goal to delivering better value for customers.
In order to understand something, whether it be user behavior or software infrastructure, we must understand how it moves and changes with time. Unfortunately most of the tools of our trade offer little help in this regard.
We explain optimization techniques used to set three world speed records. Using a combination of code generation and hardware specific optimizations, we achieved a 20x speedup over hand tuned assembly.
In this talk, we’ll roll up our sleeves and use JavaScript 6 features TODAY, on our browsers, writing our code with real ES 6 classes, testing with Karma, running with Gulp and NodeJS. We’ll explore the extensions that let us perform type checking of our methods.
Ron and Chet will talk about the current state of “Agile Software Development”, discussing the extent to which Agile’s good ideas have been watered down, and with special attention to the current interest in “scaling” Agile.
