[SLIDES]Ian Cooper @ICooper - RPC is Evil

As the microservice train thunders into town, it is bringing with it an old enemy - the Remote Procedure Call. Libraries like Thrift are being used for client-server communication and no one seems to be looking back to the past to understand why we ran screaming from RPC last time. Drawing on bitter experience of DCOM, .NET remoting and Web Services, and his very British desire for a decent cup of tea, in this talk Ian Cooper will explain the anti-patterns of RPC and look at the alternatives which will ensure your system stays stable and he gets a decent brew.

[SLIDES]Paul Stack @stack72 - Centralised Logging without the blood, sweat and tears

Traditionally logging has fallen into one of three camps: don't do it, use an SaaS provider such as Splunk, or expend large amounts of time and energy configuring on-premise logging stacks. The maturity of cloud platform service offerings now means that you can have the flexibility of running your own logging stack without the headache and costs of managing individual components.
In this talk, Paul will demonstrate how the use of managed services like ElasticSearch, AWS Kinesis, and various log-shipping agents can build a scalable, easy-to-manage and cheap-to-run logging infrastructure that will ultimately save your company $$$.

[SLIDES]Tautvilas Mečinskas @tautviIas - The nature of programming

Computer programs are all around us, we interact with them every day. It looks as if software is becoming more and more important to our society. But why do we find programs so necessary to us? Why and when did we start programming? What is the essence of programming? These questions might sound trivial, but I feel that today we still don’t have a good definition of what programming is.

In this philosophical talk I will redefine the art of programming in a refreshing way. I will give the audience a new perspective about their daily jobs and some original insights about the nature of programming. After the presentation you will understand what programs, maps and clocks have in common and what is the ultimate purpose of software development.

Rob Ashton @RobAshton - Functional Frontends with Elm

I've been working with Elm professionally for most of the year and it has proven itself to be a remarkably simple way to build applications targeted at the web browser in a safe and maintainable manner.

In this talk we'll very quickly skim over the language itself before taking a tour into the common patterns of usage we have discovered as well as some useful libraries that have ended up being an integral part of each of our applications.

This is not a theoretical talk, there will be tangible examples and some discussion of the pitfalls of using this technology - but hopefully together we can help prevent any more raw JS being forced on the world...

[SLIDES]Osvaldas Grigas @ogrigas - Name Stuff

As you know, naming stuff is one of the two hard things in Computer Science. And we fail at it every time we create another Manager or Service, or when we follow "framework conventions". Those of us living in OOP world desperately need better abstractions. And Functional Programming is no panacea since we still need DDD practices to guide our design. Regardless of your background, this talk is designed (pun intended) to help you improve your names and naming habits. No need to reinvent the wheel - we will steal ideas from Eric Evans, Uncle Bob, Kent Beck and other experts.

[SLIDES]Jezen Thomas @jezenthomas - Haskell On Rails

For years, Ruby on Rails has been the web application framework of choice for software developers who need to *Get Things Done*. We can rapidly prototype, and then effortlessly ship. But what happens when the complexity of the system inevitably grows? We write tests, and more tests, and even more tests, and still we're on our knees, fighting fires and debugging. We need better tools. We need our machines to automatically verify the fundamental correctness of our systems. These tools have been around for a while, but until recently the “Getting Started” material has been thin on the ground. In this talk I will show you how to get up and running and ready to build stuff with a Rails-like framework underpinned by one of the fastest and most stable languages in the industry: Haskell. The talk will cover everything from setting up a development environment, to integrating with a database and deploying to a VPS. Although this is a Haskell talk, it's from an angle of pragmatism and not academia. You do not need to know Haskell to enjoy this talk.

From the mathematicians and scientists of the 20th centuries to today's ninja craftsmen/craftswomen, Software community hast lost something along the way. Instead of carefully observing scientific methods and maintaining objectivity, we have tangled ourselves in web of hype, and celebrity culture - as if adopting today's YOLO motto. We have completely forgot how to reason scientifically about matters of technical dispute, instead, whoever is more opinionated or shouts louder wins - as if software is an abstract art where you can only form an opinion. This talk is a critique of the status quo. With a survey of the history of software, we will try to find our roots highlighting the wrong footsteps we have taken as an industry. It also shines a ray of light with the recent rise in adoption of scientific methods as a result of pick up in Machine Learning and Data Science.

[SLIDES]Tomer Gabel @tomerg - How shit works: the CPU

The beautiful thing about software engineering is that it gives you the warm and fuzzy illusion of total understanding: I control this machine because I know how it operates. This is the result of layers upon layers of successful abstractions, which hide immense sophistication and complexity. As with any abstraction, though, these sometimes leak, and that's when a good grounding in what's under the hood pays off. The second talk in this series peels a few layers of abstraction and takes a look under the hood of our "car engine", the CPU. While hardly anyone codes in assembly language anymore, your C# or JavaScript (or Scala or...) application still ends up executing machine code instructions on a processor; that is why Java has a memory model, why memory layout still matters at scale, and why you're usually free to ignore these considerations and go about your merry way. You'll come away knowing a little bit about a lot of different moving parts under the hood; after all, isn't understanding how the machine operates what this is all about?

[SLIDES]Piotr Buda @piotrbuda - I want a Pony!

Let's face it - concurrency is hard. Deadlocks, race conditions - these make your head hurt quite often, and trying to debug those issues only adds up more pain. Why don't we try to avoid those and still have our programs run concurrently? But can we do that? YES! Meet Pony. Pony is an object-oriented, capabilities-secure programming language with an actor model implementation at its core - here "actor" is a keyword! Pony is fun because it fixes most issues of concurrent programming. In the world of Pony it's the compiler that tells you whether your program is safe to execute. It's also type-safe, has no runtime exceptions and you can even use lambdas! I'll show you some examples of Pony programs, how its type system works and how capabilities render your concurrency safe.

[SLIDES]Mathias Brandewinder @brandewinder - Agile experiments in Machine Learning with F#

Just like traditional applications development, machine learning involves writing code. One aspect where the two differ is the workflow. While software development follows a fairly linear process (design, develop, and deploy a feature), machine learning is a different beast. You work on a single feature, which is never 100% complete. You constantly run experiments, and re-design your model in depth at a rapid pace. Traditional tests are entirely useless. Validating whether you are on the right track takes minutes, if not hours.
In this talk, we will take the example of a Machine Learning competition we recently participated in, the Kaggle Home Depot competition, to illustrate what "doing Machine Learning" looks like. We will explain the challenges we faced, and how we tackled them, setting up a harness to easily create and run experiments, while keeping our sanity. We will also draw comparisons with traditional software development, and highlight how some ideas translate from one context to the other, adapted to different constraints.

[SLIDES]David Laribee @laribee - Conscious Coupling for Anti-fragile Engineers

Surprise! Your app is totally jacked up!

No one anticipated #npmgate. Though unlikely to happen again, npm’s unpublish loophole is a clear reminder of the meaning of “free as in puppy” when it comes to open source reuse. It’s an excellent opportunity to have a conversation about coupling, dependency management, responsible engineering and open source citizenry.

In this talk, I’ll share techniques for managing dependencies in your Node.js applications at several levels: third party, architectural/design, and implementation. I’ll demonstrate several tools you can incorporate into your testing practice, continuous deployment pipeline and development workflow. Lastly, we’ll examine proven object-oriented patterns and functional composition techniques that help us control coupling in the code we own.

James Nugent @jen20 - Building self-assembling, self-healing, systems in the AWS cloud

No-one likes being woken up with a PagerDuty alert at 4am for a problem which could resolve itself with no human intervention, but for looking at it a bit differently. When moving existing applications into the cloud, or designing new ones targeting the cloud, it's important to consider and take advantage of the capabilities of the target platform, while not locking yourself in to a particular vendor.

In this talk we'll look at a variety of different types of software and look at real world deployment patterns for running them in a self-assembling, self-healing manner in the Amazon cloud, and about how we might be able to replicate some of these capabilities on other cloud platforms.

[SLIDES]Sven Peters @svenpet - The Secret Sauce of Successful Teams

Every software team writes code, but some teams produce fewer bugs than others. Every software team creates new features, but some teams develop them faster than others. What do high performance teams do differently, and why are team members more focused, satisfied and relaxed? They truly work together. No 10x rockstar programmer can achieve what a well rounded, enthusiastic team can.
Sven examines how the best software teams set and follow goals, integrate new members fast, ensure diversity, monitor and continually improve team health, embrace transparency, create new processes, use a playbook to guide them through every phase of development and even develop creative & flexible work spaces for multidisciplinary projects. He shares techniques including: sparring, OKRs, feature buddies, open demos, focus weeks and many more that help teams and team members to work more effectively together, and produce awesome results.

[SLIDES]Ali Kheyrollahi @aliostad - 5 must-have patterns for your web-scale Microservices

Building a service/Microservice is itself
easy. Scaling it on the cloud is not that hard either but operating,
maintaining and iterating a production large scale service is not just
about linearisation. As Cockcroft points out, telemetry and monitoring
is the most important aspect of building Microservices We discuss 5
patterns that any serious Microservice should have: - Canary (an
endpoint reporting health of underlying dependencies) - IO monitor
(measuring all calls from Microservice to external dependencies) - A
circuit breaker - An ActivityId-Propagator - An exception and short
timeout retry policy Apart from the Microservice buzzword, there is a
saddening lack of understanding of what a successful Microservice
architecture requires in terms of monitoring and telemetry. MTR in
case of a Microservice can be much more than a monolith if these 5
patterns are not in place.

[SLIDES]Kevlin Henney @KevlinHenney - Worse Is Better, for Better or for Worse

Two-and-a-half decades ago, Richard Gabriel proposed the idea of “Worse Is Better” to explain why some things that are designed to be pure and perfect are eclipsed by solutions that are seemingly compromised and imperfect.

This is not simply the observation that things should be better but are not, or that flawed and ill-considered solutions are superior to those created with intention, but that many solutions that are narrow and incomplete work out better than the solutions conceived of as being comprehensive and all encompassing. Whether it is programming languages, operating systems, development processes or development practices, we find many examples of this in software development, some more provocative and surprising than others.

In this talk we revisit the original premise and definition, and look at how this approach to development can still teach us something surprising and new about code, architecture, process and product design.

[SLIDES]Dylan Beattie @dylanbeattie - Webmasters, Full Stack Developers and Other Legends

Once upon a time, when the web was young, phones were dumb and people still thought progressive JPEGs were a pretty neat idea, there were people who called themselves... THE WEBMASTERS. They were brave, they were bold. Armed with a 56k modem and a stack of O'Reilly books, the webmasters were fearless in their ongoing quest, driven by a humble vision - to connect the entire world together. Using Netscape Navigator. Of course, that was a long time ago, and nobody really believes the stories any more. Some say the webmasters are gone. Some say they never existed in the first place - it was just a bunch of marketing people with delusions of grandeur. But a few, a select few, believe they changed. They evolved. They learned new skills, they embraced new technology... and the Legend of the Full Stack Developer was born. The history of software development is rich with tales of extraordinary individuals, whose knowledge of their own systems was absolutely unrivalled. But here in 2016, in a world where distributed systems, machine learning and autoscaling cloud systems are ubiquitous and the average web app uses three JavaScript frameworks, four server-side languages and six different kinds of caching technology, does it really make any sense to talk about full stack developers? Are we clinging to outdated paradigms, nostalgic for the simple days when one person really could know all the answers - or does overspecialisation represent a genuine threat to the established discipline of software development? And if it does - should we be resisting it, or embracing it as a change that's long overdue?

[SLIDES]Alex West @birdsncherries - A Visual Thinking Warmup for developers

Do strong personalities dominate your development team? Are code reviews painful? Are you blindly following orders from a backlog, or are you learning from observation? Visual Thinking Strategies, or VTS, is a crossdisciplinary technique applicable to anyone working in a collaborative setting where observation is key. VTS develops critical thinking skills by viewing and discussing works of art in a group. It is backed by over 30 years of field research showing its effectiveness and accessibility. By allowing individuals to talk about art without needing a background in the field VTS advances skills you can use to create more relevant products and stronger teams: Observing, Brainstorming, Speculating, Reasoning with Evidence, Cultivating a Point of View, and Revision & Elaboration. During this interactive exercise, we’ll discuss selected works of art as a group. There are no right answers or group consensus being sought. We’re creating an environment and process for looking, thinking, reasoning and revision skills that are missioncritical to anyone working in a software design or development role. After our group discussion, I’ll introduce the basics of image selection and facilitating VTS sessions within your organization. In addition to the above, I’ll cover how VTS can help you and your team with the following: Comfort with Ambiguity, Openness to the Unfamiliar, Civil Debate, and Willingness to Participate in Group Thinking.
