JavaScriptMobile
Beyond the initial feeling of wonder while building mobile interfaces easily and quickly, React Native adopters can feel frustrated when comes the time to transform a proof-of-concept into a production-ready application. Let us take a look at how React Native works under the hood to have a good grasp of the framework architecture and how to deal with advanced concepts like layout, styling, navigation, performance, testing and so on.
DevOpsPHP
"Every outage is like a murder mystery" is a common complaint. But it doesn't have to be! This talk gives an overview on how to monitor PHP applications from all possible sides — operating system, webserver, database, logs, metrics, and tracing across systems.
Ruby
Ruby 2.5 was released on Christmas day and it came with a bunch of new features! We'll take a look at how they can by implemented in pure Ruby and explore practical use cases. Finally, we'll take a peek at a couple of exciting features planned for Ruby 2.6.
RubyData Science
Data have to be sorted and stored before they can be analyzed. Your data sets as mines are big enough to give a hard time to our laptops, but not big enough to require the fanciest big data solutions. Building simple data lakes and labs can help you get what you want without deployment headaches. In this talk, we will see how to build simple data lakes and labs using Ruby, Python, and common PaaS, and IaaS.
MobilePerformance
In just over 10 years, smartphones have permitted for powerful computing in the palm of our hands, allowing for rich social media, to online banking and interactivity. However, their fragility is revealed when faced with forceful downloads of frameworks, superfluity of styling and scripts. We look @ how these circumstances create classic performance bottlenecks and less obvious occurrences resulting in the erosion of #ux, to hardware failures.
Node.js
Checklists have been known to reduce errors during air flights and surgeries. Why don't we use one for our JavaScript projects? I want my NPM module to be useful, robust, and well-documented. Here is my recipe for a module that everyone can rely on: a simple checklist. Rather than forcing everyone to do the same, the checklist only reminds me to do unit testing, publish smaller module, have good API examples, and lots of other useful things.
Accessibility
Web accessibility is a set of principles and patterns to ensure everyone can access your content regardless of their abilities. This session covers core concepts of web accessibility starting with considering the question, “Why be accessible?” Learn about the core principles of accessibility, what legal requirements exist for web accessibility, best practices from development & business perspectives and common accessibility dev tools.

Proper and correct authentication is a fundamental requirement for authorization and access control. Plain passwords logins is ubiquitous, but no longer state of the art. This talk will give you an overview of various alternatives and their crypto starting with password hashing over Unix sockets, 2FA, certificates, and hardware tokens to federated Single Sign-On solutions like Kerberos or OpenIDC.
PerformanceMachine learning
We present an automatic analysis method that clusters requests, based on their response times, extracts and organises their features in a tree-based data structure, and mines the association rules among the different groups of requests. This aims to comparatively analyse the groups of slow web and database requests to find the possible root-causes of their latency problems. Three real world use-cases will show the usefulness of this method.
Cloud Computing.NET
"There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer…" But when this someone is Microsoft, you can redirect the maintenance resources to other important tasks, such as adding features for your users. However at first sight, Microsoft Azure and its huge offering can seem daunting for a new user. In this presentation, Laurent Bugnion will show you how he got started and what the Microsoft Cloud has to offer to a developer.
Java & JVM languages

Building distributed systems is notoriously hard ... building a distributed team even more so. This talk dives into the details how Elastic is thriving on its distributed model.
PHP
Laravel is an extremely popular framework for developing well-architected PHP applications. Amazon Web Services is a de-facto standard in cloud computing, allowing developers to scale their development operations to any level their user base requires. In this talk we will introduce Laravel 5.6 to build a sample application with all the bells and whistles, and then how to deploy that application at scale using Amazon Web Services.
Machine learning
Artificial intelligence and Machine learning are in big demand! You can take data science courses and learn how to build your own neural networks, but let's face it, we coders are basically lazy. We don't want to write more code than necessary! In this session, I will show you a variety of APIs and tools that allow you to add intelligence to your applications without coding from scratch!
.NET
Does your web API expose your database structure and provide GET/POST as way to perform CRUD operations? Do your clients know the control logic/workflow of your API? Web APIs that represent your database couples your clients to the internals of your app, making it much harder to change your API.
In this presentation we're going to learn how to go beyond serializing a database row into json by leveraging hypermedia to write self-describing APIs

HTML & CSS
For years, front-end developers fumbled with hacking floats for layouts, limited by how floats work. Now with the new Grid specification in CSS, we can easily define behaviors for each cell in our layouts in two dimensions. When combined with media queries, we can specify where each cell will be placed under a variety of conditions, in horizontal and vertical space. Similarities and differences with Flexbox will also be identified and discussed.
DevOpsManagement
Most talks about DevOps focus on a specific technology stack or recipes that worked in a specific organization. But what these talks don't tell us is actually the most important one: the story of the journey. What challenges did they face and how (and why!) did they solve them? Each DevOps journey is different, but they share some common traits.
In this talk we'll reveal a the secret ingredient and a recipe for a successful DevOps journey.

This talk will show you just how easy it can be to achieve security and scalability with PHP and Python using Docker containers. By the end of the talk, you'll be able to deploy an autoscaling Kubernetes cluster of frameworks and microservices.
Java & JVM languages
Kotlin is one of those “new” JVM languages that are currently rocking the boat. Although it’s made a great impact on Android, it’s equally good on the server side. As Domain-Specific Languages are constrained by the language they run on, Kotlin frees developers from Java fluent builders to propose something better.
Using the Vaadin web framework as an example, I’ll demo how one could design its own DSL with Kotlin.

Architecture & design patterns
Much of the software we write is built to support a business process, this generally means validating and storing user data into a database. Often this is a mismatch with the actual business process, which is more reactive and task oriented. In this talk we'll look at using business events to drive the evolution of our software design and see how we can build a model which better reflects the businesses processes.
.NET
The .NET Garbage Collector (GC) is really cool. It helps providing our applications with virtually unlimited memory, so we can focus on writing code instead of manually freeing up memory. But how does .NET manage that memory? What are hidden allocations? Are strings evil? In this talk, we’ll go over the base concepts of .NET memory management and explore how .NET helps us and how we can help .NET – making our apps better.
Ruby
So you've got that big pile of (hopefully) useful code. There are plenty of reasons to extracts some parts to gems, but do you know how to do it? In this talk, I will show you step by step how I extracted a gem from a production application and how I published it.
Data Science
While exposing data to developers through API is getting more typical, most of the data found on the internet is only available through raw HTML, often mixed in seemingly chaotic tags. This talk aims to be a quick introduction for the data scientist to politely extract data from a website and store it in a structured database with the help of the Python library Scrapy, and how one might extend it to fits their specific needs.

Functional programming is a paradigm known for decades. It is gaining popularity again, due to the rise of purely functional languages like Haskell. You may wonder, how it could be useful in PHP? You need to know that it is also a set of concepts that are language independent and allows for completely different approach when writing regular application code. Using a few techniques and a slight change of perspective your code will be cleaner.
NetworksSecurity
TLS is the most important and widely-used protocol for secure and encrypted communication, e.g. HTTPS. It offers more than just encryption. TLS also ensures data integrity and strong authentication with X.509 certificates. Did you ever wonder how TLS and CAs actually work? I'll give you the rundown of the basic cryptographic building blocks, protocol handshake, inner structure of certificates, PKI, and what's new in TLS 1.3.
Cloud Computing.NET
In the past AWS and C# seemed to belong to two different eco-systems. One was a leading cloud platform while the other a widely used, powerful programming platform.
Does it mean that a developer that needs to provide a solution in the cloud must choose between the two? Not anymore.
In this talk, I will show how to write C# code that runs in a dockerized container in the cloud or as an AWS Lambda and harness, the popular AWS services.

With this in-depth talk you'll learn a few key areas where leveraging WebSocket can eek out necessary performance gains, and improve your user experience.
CareerManagement
A junior developer will join your team. If nothing is done, they are likely to be unproductive for a long time. You & me have been there too. This is not a great experience, for anybody. Still, great engineers need to be made, and this starts on day one. Based on my experience and on the EURA NOVA onboarding system, I will discuss why onboarding is important, which elements are required, how to plan and do it, and which common pitfalls to avoid.
RubySecurity
In Rails, cookie-based sessions are encoded, signed and encrypted by default magically. However, it is hard to do the same thing with Sinatra or Rack. In this session, I will introduce how decorator pattern works in Ruby and show how flexible it can integrate with cookie-based session encoding instead of installing gems like "rack-session-encryption" or "encrypted_cookie".
.NET

As more applications are hosted on servers, they produce immense quantities of logging data. Quality engineers should verify that apps are producing log data that is existent, correct, consumable, and complete. Otherwise, apps in production are not easily monitored, have issues that are difficult to detect, and cannot be corrected quickly. Tom Chavez presents the four steps that quality engineers should include in every app test plan.
