My wish List
PHP
An obscure but ubiquitous design pattern in PHP development is known as Funky Caching. Using real architectural examples as a lens to look at this one simple PHP design pattern, we see how we can design web architectures that are "organic, democratic, and lasting"
CareerManagement
Une entreprise sans bons développeurs, c'est comme du code sans test unitaire : à un moment ou à un autre, ça ne fonctionnera plus.
Aussi devient-il impératif, d'attirer les meilleurs d'entre eux, mais également de savoir les garder au sein de son entreprise. Si cela est simple à dire, réussir à le faire correctement et à maintenir un tel contexte attractif n'est pas chose facile. Venez découvrir les 10 méthodes pour les rendre heureux!

JavaScriptSecurity
The concept of Cross-site Scripting (XSS) is over 20 years old, but the attack does not seem to go away. There is finally light at the end of the tunnel: Content Security Policy is a W3C standard that can effectively limit which JavaScript code a browser is allowed to run. In this session we will have a look at different features and versions of CSP, provide best practices for using this technology, and also analyze implementation strategies.
AccessibilityHTML & CSS
Web accessibility is not only the responsibility of developers. Designers also play an important role in creating an accessible product. You can use color, images, icons, videos, animation and a fancy layout and still designing an accessible product. This talk is an overview of what designers should know about accessibility.
Artificial IntelligenceMachine Learning
Artificial Intelligence is far more than just machine learning. There are a variety of methods that can be used to automate decision making. In this introductory course for software developers, we will explore various methods. The goal is to give devs newer to the field a few "eureka moments" during a survey of AI methodologies. Experienced devs will gain a fresh perspective on the field of AI from a fellow developer, not a mathematician.
CareerManagement
By the end of an internship, an intern should have identifiable accomplishments, gotten a realistic view of what a full-time job at the company is like, had a meaningful impact on their team, and learned practical new skills. These are ambitious goals for 10-12 weeks and mentors must prepare and guide them to meet those goals. I'll share my experiences from both sides, as an intern and a mentor, and present a formula for success.
Artificial IntelligenceMachine Learning
While we are a long way out from machines that can perform artificial general intelligence (AGI) tasks, deep learning can be used for many narrow artificial intelligence (AI) tasks including image or audio classification, facial recognition, object recognition, image caption generation, and natural language processing. We will explore how developers can easily integrate open source deep learning models into their applications.
Accessibility
You need to reach every last customer, but for many, the web is not an easy place to be. Your target audience contains people who need visual or motor assistance whether they have a specific condition that affects them or are just part of the very large and aging generation. Learn some tips for evaluating the accessibility of your site, and find out how to broaden your site's appeal while making the web a more accessible place for everyone.
Architecture & Design Patterns
If you maintain a library, how can you innovate without breaking the projects that depend on it? Follow semantic versioning, add APIs conservatively, add parameters compatibly, use deprecation warnings and publish a deprecation policy, guide your users on how to upgrade, and make wise choices about when to break backwards compatibility. This talk describes API evolution in Python and C, with lessons for libraries in any language.
Architecture & Design PatternsPerformance
We all know not to poke at alien life forms on another planet, right? But what about metrics, do you know how to pick, measure and draw conclusions from them? In this talk we will cover various Site Reliability Engineering topics, such as SLIs and SLOs while we explore real life examples of defining and implementing metrics in a system with examples using Prometheus, to demonstrate the practical implementation.
Cloud Computing.NET
In this talk, we’ll explore the simple yet complex realm of rate limiting. We’ll go over how to decide on which resources to limit, what the limits should be and where to enforce these limits – in our app, on the server, using a reverse proxy like Nginx or even an external service like CloudFlare or Azure API management. The takeaway? Know when and where to enforce rate limits so you can have both a happy application as well as happy customers.
DevOps
This is a DevOps talk by someone who hates "DevOps". Instead of focusing on tools and cool tech we need to focus on our teams building the best software they possibly can. Sometimes this means not playing with the "bright, shiny" or building it just because we can. Our workloads live at different levels of abstraction, and we should understand how to run them with the minimal amount of DevOps work. Avoid the yak shave and dev only the right ops.
AccessibilityHTML & CSS
L’accessibilité est un sujet qui nous concerne tous. On ne prend pourtant pas assez le temps d’aller au-delà du minimum : avec un zeste de JavaScript et d’ARIA, on peut “accessibiliser” des composants dynamiques sur les sites et applications web. Ce n’est pas très compliqué, ni très long; les synthèses vocales vous remercieront. Démonstrations concrètes et bonnes pratiques.
Career
Balancing technical prowess and soft skills is always a challenge, but whether you are discussing business requirements for a product or sitting in on a hiring loop, asking the right questions is essential to effective communication. Communication breaks down when one or both parties make assumptions of the other, and learning to ask better questions in these situations can help alleviate the stress and even improve the efficiency of your team.
Architecture & Design Patterns.NET
What is legacy code? Did I just write more of it? ASP.NET rebooted itself to make it more maintainable and performant. Let's learn to build highly maintainable code as well. We'll look at the low-hanging fruit to get you on a path to avoiding the common pitfalls and reach for the easy wins. You can avoid legacy.
.NET
Async and await are now common elements of .NET ecosystem. Do you know how they work, what is synchronization context, how to wait for async void methods or how to implement custom task scheduler? In this talk I show internals of async and await. I present state machine created by the compiler, typical deadlock scenarios, synchronization context implementations and how to await for async void methods.
.NETSecurity
You’ve probably seen how a ASP.NET Core application works, but authentication and authorization are a different cup of tea. Microsoft completely re-did a large part of these security features in ASP.NET Core.
We'll look at the different case of doing authentication for your application, with ASP.NET Core Identity or by using a token service (STS). When that's done we'll dive into the authorization part which is also completely overhauled.

Architecture & Design Patterns.NET
Ever wondered how IDE’s are built? In this talk, we’ll skip the marketing bit and dive into the architecture and implementation of JetBrains Rider. We’ll look at how and why we have built (and open sourced) a reactive protocol, and how the IDE uses a “microservices” architecture to communicate with the debugger, Roslyn, a WPF renderer and even other tools like Unity3D. We’ll explore how things are wired together. Let’s geek out!
JavaScriptMobile
Amrit will go through how and why Hockey Community has been building hybrid apps as opposed to native for the past five years.
DevOpsSecurity
Web applications are getting more complex. A lot of effort has been deployed in web frameworks.
On the other side, the infrastructure used is rarely scrutinized by developers for potential vulnerabilities.
This talk will show you how the use of a cache server can introduce serious vulnerabilities to your web applications. It will cover Web Cache Deception, ESI injection and Cache poisoning. These attacks have all emerged in the past two years.

This talk shows how we did set up our Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment at Flare Systems. We will walk through how to build our docker image, run tests, collect the results and deploy the service, all while talking about the gotchas and ways to speed up everything. While the presentation relies on the free Gitlab runners, the concept should be applicable to other CI services such as CircleCI or TravisCI.
Cloud ComputingJava & JVM languages
In enterprise software, we see more and more of the cloud native technologies, especially container orchestration and service meshes, slowly taking over the market. Developers are facing the challenge which technology to choose for a cloud native setting. Java EE has been used for software solutions for a long time and its APIs are well-established. However, is it possible to develop cloud native, service-meshed Java Enterprise applications?

Career
Flatter organizations mean fewer steps on the traditional career path. Emergent design redefines the role of architects and senior staff. Balanced teams challenge us to share rather than horde specialized skills we've spent years developing. Expecting to continue grow in a model measured by increases in power and authority is bound to leave us disappointed, or worse yet frustrated as our organization's goals seem in direct conflict with our own.
Architecture & Design Patterns.NET
The talk will cover how to architect your ASP.NET Core Web APIs. The talk will cover a clear decoupling of the API endpoints, Data Access (Synthetic or Production) and finally the Data Domain classes. Discuss how the API Endpoints (Controllers) have no knowledge or responsibility of Data Domain and behind it Data Access. Finally, Data Access segments of the architecture can easily be switched out without impacting the Domain or API Endpoints.
AccessibilityHTML & CSS
Accessibility isn’t just about blindness and screen readers or running through a typical section 508 checklist. There are many other important facets of accessibility. In this session, we'll discuss in detail what we mean when we say "accessibility" that includes vision, hearing, motor, and cognitive needs. We will break down basic accessibility development guidelines, browser support, and how to best raise awareness on your team.
Architecture & Design Patterns

.NETSecurity
DLL Injection sounds like some black magic used only by hackers. However, it is used widely in the Windows ecosystem by multiple antiviruses and system utilities. During the presentation I show how we can use it to change 3rd party applications, how to write simple keylogger in 20 lines of code, and how to inject both native and managed code into other applications. We will see memory management on x86 and some Windows internals.
HTML & CSSJavaScript
We use Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs) every day, but how well do we really understand it? More often than not, we are merely scratching the surface of a large and complicated discipline. Most developers and designers don’t realize how powerful and useful SVGs are, learn about the advanced techniques you can use to delight users; you will be surprised at how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Callbacks, promises, async, oh my! Asynchrony in JavaScript has come of age. We'll start with a quick history of the 3 techniques. Then dive in deep to async and await. How can you transition from callbacks to promises or promises to async? How can you use legacy code with await? How can your legacy code call your async functions? Whether you're using Babel or evergreen browsers, as Yoda would say, "async code write you can."
JavaScriptTests & Quality
In our company we have a lot of data flowing from the user’s applications to the API, then this data is displayed in the web dashboard. How do we avoid accidentally breaking API contracts, while adding new features? We have started using JSON-schema convention and wrote a few tools around it to lock down our API protocols. Now we have full confidence in our elegant tests, and even major releases happen without any hiccups.

Tsunami waves travel at the speed of 500 - 600 miles/hr, where as normal waves at 5 - 60 miles/hr. Due to technical limitations, even massive Tsunamis are hard to detect & forecast. In recent times, hyper sensitive micro-metrics measuring technologies are employed to forecast Tsunamis. Similarly, it's hard to forecast production performance problems. Learn the micro-metrics to measure in dev/test that forecast problems with high accuracy.
Databases
MySQL can now be used as a schema-less NoSQL JSON document store database. No more embedding ugly strings of Structured Query Language in your beautiful code. Plus the CRUD operations follow modern programming designs and work better with modern program flow. And you can also access old structured relational tables too so you get the best of both worlds built on proven MySQL technology. Lots of coding examples so you can start using it today!
Artificial Intelligence
This simple technique that every programmer should know can simplify certain problems tremendously, allowing us to find an optimal solution to difficult problems quickly and easily using a process called Dynamic Programming. In this session, we will run through examples of using this technique to solve several problems, both "on paper" and in code, and apply that knowledge to build Artificial Intelligences that can make decisions on our behalf.

PerformancePHP
Every developer should be confident that their code is efficient and safe to run in production. But it can be hard to get started. How do we find out what load our app can handle? How do we prove it's not leaking memory or how do we identify the areas to optimise? What tools to use? What do the graphs mean? Let’s answer those questions by analysing a simple PHP app using some open source projects and tools.

Everyone fears the review of his own code. And to start with, there is no time. Because, what will happen once we have found something to detail? In fact, a good code review means being ready to discuss a mere few lines, assess the context and evaluate an alternative, or not. Using automated tools that are not scared by volume, we’ll keep everything under control, without anyone else knowing about it.

When you test a program as a "black box", you send it in and out pops the result, like toast. But network code has I/O at two ends: the API and the network. If we only test the API, we don't test its wire protocol or error-handling. We need a "black pipe" test, which tests the API while messaging over a socket. I’ll present a handy library and advise you when to use black pipe tests.
Security
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) curates a list of the top ten security risks for web applications and how to mitigate them. The ever changing world of web development created a challenge for the 2017 list, which needs to combine both existing approaches and modern trends in web development. We will have a look at each item in the list, see what can go wrong (with code!), and make sure that this won't happen in our web sites.
