Domain Storytelling—Understanding Your Users by Drawing Pictures - Henning Schwentner NDC Conferences 2024-05-14 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#ddd Misunderstandings between developers and the business are a plague. Bad communication makes projects fail. This talk presents a remedy. The session's highlight will be a practical demonstration with the auditorium as an interview partner.Domain Storytelling is a technique to transform domain knowledge into effective business software. It brings together domain experts and development teams to: (a) understand the domain of a software system, (b) find microservices boundaries, and (c) talk about requirements.We let domain experts tell us stories about their tasks. While listening, we record the stories using an easy-to-understand pictographic language.The domain experts can see immediately whether we understand their story correctly. After very few stories, we are able to talk about the people, processes, and events in that domain.The talk is aimed at everyone involved or interested in software development, including non-technical people.
Stay with C# or switch to F#? Lets fight! Lets vote! - Vagif Abilov & Max Arshinov NDC Conferences 2024-05-13 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#dotnet #csharp #fsharp #functionalprogramming We are two developers with a long experience in OOP, and in the .NET world it means C#. Both of us later discovered functional programming, and in the .NET world it means F#. One of us was convinced to make a switch to F# with its immutable data and terse syntax and never looked back. The other one was convinced that the evolution of C# and adoption of FP elements make it a solid language to take advantages of both paradigms. Perhaps both of us are right in our choices but what would YOU do?Come to our session, and you will become our judge. You will be presented a series of small tasks with solutions in both languages, and you will vote for a winner in each category. Perhaps yo can make a choice for your own future?

Analogue Evolution, Digital Revolution: Tipping Points in Technology - Dylan Beattie NDC Conferences 2024-05-09 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferencesTechnological progress is non-linear. Sometimes, innovation is a smooth curve; hundreds of small, incremental improvements over many years – until something comes along that changes the game; something that fundamentally challenges our assumptions around what technology can achieve. Within the last few decades, technology has profoundly and irreversibly changed the shape of human society; how we work, how we relax, how we communicate and collaborate. And, in almost every case, the key has been digitalisation: the ability to take transform part of our reality into a stream of bits.With the benefit of hindsight, it’s easy to see the tipping points, to identify the moments when a particular technology or idea achieved critical mass, when something went from being an interesting prototype to a viable product – but for people who were there at the time, it often wasn’t nearly so obvious. In an industry that’s perpetually excited about the “next big thing”, how do developers and technologists decide what to focus on? Should we be thinking about augmented reality? Will machine learning replace developers? Is AI a fun toy, a useful tool – or an existential threat to humanity?Join Dylan Beattie for an entertaining look at the innovations that really did change the world (and a few that didn’t!), and how understanding our history can help us make sense of the next digital revolution – whatever that turns out to be.

It’s time to rebuild DevOps. - Paul Stack - NDC London 2024 NDC Conferences 2024-05-07 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#devops #cloud #code It's almost 15 years since the inception of DevOps. The core value of DevOps was to break down the silos and improve communication to achieve stability, reliability, availability, and security. In the boom of the ecosystem since that point, it sometimes feels like we've created more silos and stemmed communication in every way with the tooling we have. What if we take the lessons we’ve learned along the way and try to reimagine DevOps tooling to fulfill the original promise of the DevOps movement? What if we could remove the 200% problem (the need to know a specialist language AND a cloud framework) from our tooling? What if we could focus on delivery in a collaborative manner rather than communicating via a series of handoffs via pull requests? It’s time for a second wave of DevOps tools.In this talk, Paul is going to reflect on the lessons we've learned along the DevOps journey, for example Infrastructure as Code, and talk about the work System Initiative is doing to revolutionize how people collaborate to build and maintain complex infrastructure. System Initiative is the beginning of an ecosystem to create a real-time, multiplayer, multi-modal reinvention of DevOps tooling. System Initiative provides a modern, state of the art approach to infrastructure management that increases productivity with its simulation-based workflow.Once you see what it’s possible to achieve, you won’t want to settle any longer.

Are they really suited to the demands of modern software development?Teams are being asked to move faster and faster as well as be able to change direction quickly as customer needs change. And what happens when a product hits success and needs to scale, fast! Do these architectures make it easy for apps to scale and new developers to get up to speed and be productive quickly?Essentially, do these architectures allow teams to build for change? The one constant in our industry.In this talk, we’re going to look at an alternative way to build applications using vertical slice architecture (VSA). You’ll learn what VSA is and how it differs from the layered approach. We’ll cover it’s key advantages and how it can help you, or your teams, build better software, faster. We’ll also talk about some common misconceptions of the architecture as well as trade-offs when choosing it.

I will be sharing war stories and experiences of how I have watched different companies I have worked at go through this maturity journey both as an engineer and an engineering leader. You will walk away from this talk with tips and tricks and ideas on how you can adapt and leverage this for an organization of any scale and size.
Tales from the .NET 8 Migration Trenches - NDC Conferences 2024-05-06 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#dotnet #architecture #web #app It’s served its users well, but now our .NET 4.8 app is looking a bit long in the tooth. Although technically still supported, the framework as a whole is at a dead end. It’s time to modernize, but that doesn’t mean rewrite.In this talk, I’ll walk through migrating a typical enterprise .NET 4.8 web app from soup to nuts. We’ll look at tools and techniques for migrating features and components incrementally (and still deploying to production). I’ll also highlight some of the newer analyzers to see what we can easily migrate, adapt, or replace. We’ll look at many of the common dependencies and components most systems incorporate, such as Entity Framework, SignalR, and DI containers, and how to modernize and migrate those components. There may even be Web Forms!Migrating to modern frameworks can seem daunting, but luckily for us, we can do so in a safe, deliberate approach that I will walk through in a real-world example.

While the original goal was just a bit of fun and creating some music related utilities, the library ended up becoming a mainstay of many large commercial telephony related applications.Along the way, he learned a lot about the many and varied Windows audio APIs, battled with the limitations of .NET as a platform for real-time audio, and experienced the joys and frustrations of running an open source project.In this session he'll share many of the lessons he learned about writing high performance .NET code, the quirks and capabilities of Windows audio APIs, and show some of the new possibilities on the horizon thanks to .NET 6 and beyond.
From IL Weaving to Source Generators, the Realm story - Ferdinando Papale NDC Conferences 2024-05-04 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#dotnet #programminglanguage Intermediate Language (IL) Weaving is a powerful technique that allows to greatly simplify the experience of developers using the .NET Realm SDK by hiding a fair amount of complexity from end-users.Working with a weaver, though, is tedious, error prone and the resulting code is a black box. These are some of the reasons that convinced us to migrate to Source Generators, a feature introduced in .NET 5 that allows to produce code on the fly during compilation.This talk will go through the reasons why IL Weaving was used in the first place, our long journey switching to Source Generators and why they do not yet satisfy all our needs.

A Brief History of Data Storage - Eli Holderness - NDC London 2024 NDC Conferences 2024-05-03 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#architecture #data #bigdata #computer For millennia, humans have known things. Pretty quickly, we started writing them down; our brains aren't particularly good at storing all the things we know reliably, and we needed something more durable.A long time ago, 'writing things down' looked like clay tablets with cuneiform on them, and affairs have only got more complicated from there. Nowadays, we try and write things down so that computers can understand them too, and that's given us a bewildering array of options - disk drives, magnetic tape storage and so much more.In this talk, we're going to take a look at the history of writing things down, and discuss why some methods have worked better than others. We're going to talk about why writing things down for humans is different than doing it for a computer, and why it's difficult to try and do both at the same time (this is what code is). Finally, we'll take a look at what the state-of-the-art is today for keeping data safe, and what the future might hold.This talk has no prerequisites, although a fondness for weird facts will certainly enhance the experience.

And not just for yourself, but every one. The developers, the database admin, the operations team - none of them should have access to production.So how can we do that, and at the same time maintain our high rate of releases, our agility and our sanity?Glenn will go though some principles to follow and also show you in practice how you can create your environment, lock it down and update it, all without human intervention. He will also show you how you can monitor the environment for unauthorized changes. How you can have "emergency hatches" for when you really need access, but in a controlled fashion. Examples will be for Microsoft Azure, but the principles are universal.In short, if you want to keep your production environment and production data at an arms length, but still so what you need when you need it, this is your session.

Designers vs Developers: Who is in control here? - Lemon 🍋 - NDC London 2024 NDC Conferences 2024-04-29 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#ethics #softskills #ux #design #workskills The designers are creative, the developers are talented, so why are you miserable all the time? The project is a mess, there’s about a hundred tickets about the whitespace between items, and everybody is mad at each other because we’re behind schedule. How did it get like this, and how can we fix it?In this high-energy talk focused on developers, Lemon shares a framework for effective and respectful communication between development and design teams, making sure that everyone feels appreciated and confident to provide suggestions in good faith. We’ll talk about the shifting power structure between these roles thru the lifecycle of a website, from the pitch all the way up to launch, and how every member of the team can stay engaged and feel heard at every step.And as a bonus, we’re going to talk about the things you can do (and things you definitely *shouldn’t do*) to impress a client.

I find joy in recovering and analyzing code bones and culture as well as making the skeleton walk again. A short time ago, however, I was confronted with the most horrible code base I have ever seen. This talk is about how we managed to save it and achieve bi-weekly deployments with a high level of confidence.Five million lines of code in multiple languages (Classic ASP, .NET, VBScript, VBA, JavaScript, T-SQL, PL-SQL) in one monolith. The business logic stretched from the UI (WebForms, Scripting, SQL Queries) down to the database (Stored Procedures), there was no test coverage and an enormous amount of hidden coupling. A version control system was not used, we had no test environment, deployments required developers to copy their local compilation to production and multiple customer installations are supported by uncommenting and commenting code.Together we will explore what to do when you inherit such a thing: how to identify hotspots, find hidden coupling, explore how connascence can help you, ways to test as well as refactor and how to achieve a regular deployment schedule.
REST, gRPC, SignalR and GraphQL for .NET developers - François Bouteruche NDC Conferences 2024-04-27 | REST, gRPC, SignalR and GraphQL for .NET developers. Which is right for your use case? - François BouterucheThis talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#architecture #microservices #dotnet #graphql REST, gRPC, SignalR and GraphQL. As .NET developers, we hear a lot about those four technologies to build API. However, it is not always crystal clear how to decide the one to pick for a use case. REST is a software architectural style. gRPC is a cross-platform open source Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework. SignalR is a free and open-source software library. GraphQL is an open-source data query and manipulation language for APIs.In this talk, we discuss their core concepts and the problems they are trying to solve. We showcase how to quickly bootstrap an API in C# with each one of them. Finally, we propose a decision-tree to help you decide the right one for your use case.

Separating fact from fiction in a world of AI fairytales - Jodie Burchell - NDC London 2024 NDC Conferences 2024-04-26 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#ai #ethics #machinelearning #ml If you've been remotely tuned in to the developments in generative AI over the past year, you've likely been inundated with news, ranging from claims that these models will replace numerous white-collar jobs to declarations of sentience and an impending AI apocalypse. At this stage, the hype surrounding AI has far surpassed the actual useful information available.In this presentation, we’ll cut through the noise and delve deep into the current applications, risks, and limitations of these generative AI models. We will start with the early research endeavours aimed at creating an "artificial brain" and trace the path that has led us to today's sophisticated models. Along the way, we will address the misconception of mistaking these models for intelligent systems and shed light on the actual requirements for developing true artificial general intelligence, and see how far we seem to be from this goal. Moreover, we will highlight how an excessive focus on topics like the sentience of these systems has overshadowed the genuine issues associated with these models. By shifting our attention towards their real limitations, we will see how we can better maximise the potential of these exciting models.

Hannes LowetteBuild software like a bag of marbles, not a castle of LEGO® - NDC Conferences 2024-04-25 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#dotnet #architecture #microservices #code #database If you have ever played with LEGO®, you will know that adding, removing or changing features of a completed castle isn’t as easy as it seems. You will have to deconstruct large parts to get to where you want to be, to build it all up again afterwards. Unfortunately, our software is often built the same way. Wouldn’t it be better if our software behaved like a bag of marbles? So you can just add, remove or replace them at will?Most of us have taken different approaches to building software: a big monolith, a collection of services, a bus architecture, etc. But whatever your large scale architecture is, at the granular level (a single service or host), you will probably still end up with tightly coupled code. Adding functionality means making changes to every layer, service or component involved. It gets even harder if you want to enable or disable features for certain deployments: you’ll need to wrap code in feature flags, write custom DB migration scripts, etc. There has to be a better way!So what if you think of functionality as loose feature assemblies? We can construct our code in such a way that adding a feature is as simple as adding the assembly to your deployment, and removing it is done by just deleting the file. We would open the door for so many scenarios!In this talk, I will explain how to tackle the following parts of your application to achieve this goal: WebAPI, Entity Framework, Onion Architecture, IoC and database migrations. And most of all, when you would want to do this. Because… ‘it depends’.

Innovation proceeds in all directions, with new frameworks, build systems, and architectural patterns emerging at pace. But where are we all heading? Is there a pattern? What’s the next big phase?In this demo-centric talk we’ll look at the common trends across web frameworks: disruptive new features that are showing up across technologies and changing how web apps are built. We’ll dig into live code examples in Next.js (React), SvelteKit, Blazor, Astro, and more. We’ll see how these and others are setting a similar path for the next phase of web technology – and how you could implement the same features yourself without any framework.Finally, we’ll catch up on the state of WebAssembly and try out WASI preview 2 – the upcoming reinvention of WASI. Will it achieve the dream of seamless interop across all languages, operating systems, and CPU architectures? Will it become the standard for server-side cloud programming?

The Elephant in your Dataset: Addressing Bias in Machine Learning - Michelle Frost NDC Conferences 2024-04-23 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: / @NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#machinelearning #ml Thanks to third-party libraries and packages, machine learning has become more accessible than ever, making data science available at your fingertips. However, as we move forward in our craft, it is crucial that we address the elephant in the room (or in the dataset): bias. Bias crops up everywhere, from the unconscious biases that exist in society- to those that can be introduced in datasets and algorithms.This session is meant to encourage participants to consider their own biases (and the impact they may have on machine learning models), and to provide the tools needed to create more fair and just systems. We will begin with an interactive and human-focused discourse about bias: what it is, the forms it appears in, and how it permeates our society. Then we'll explore different types of bias within the context of machine learning, such as overfitting bias, algorithmic bias, and prejudice bias, using real-world stories and examples. Together we will examine the consequences of bias left unattended, including the potential for discrimination and unfair decision-making.We will delve into the latest research and several approaches to mitigating bias, including data preprocessing, fair representation learning, and bias correction algorithms. We will also work through one example together to give participants a hands-on understanding of how to apply these techniques in practice. By understanding bias and taking the steps necessary to quell its effects, we can ensure that machine learning is used responsibly and ethically in the future, resulting in a world with more trustworthy technology.

Monitoring over 15% of the global AuM for shareholding disclosure every day. Four years ago, we were at the stage where our core service was not working optimally for a significant number of our clients. Clients experienced unpredictable runtimes, slow runtimes and even batch process failures. And it was a sales barrier.We decided to take the plunge and rearchitect the platform - and as a B-Corp, demonstrating our commitment to social and environmental performance, we did so while focusing on scale and sustainability. This is the story of how we did it.

It currently powers many mission-critical services both within Microsoft (such as Microsoft Teams and Active Directory) and across large-scale Fortune 500 organizations (such as Walmart and Adobe).This talk covers the internal architecture of Azure Cosmos DB and how it achieves high availability, low latency, and scalability. I will first cover the design of the storage engine, with particular emphasis on ensuring high availability and scalability through partitioning and replication. Next, I will zoom in on the request routing gateway to see how it has evolved to solve the well-known multi-tenant cloud infrastructure challenges of containing noisy neighbors and limiting blast radius. Lastly, I will discuss performance as a feature and as a culture. I will cover what I measure and how we think about SLOs to achieve and maintain low latency.Building planet-scale services necessitates solving complex scalability challenges and making numerous tradeoffs across various components in the product. I look forward to sharing my experiences and lessons learned in building Azure Cosmos DB.

Leading the reader through your codebase should feel like settling in to watch your favourite TV show; enjoyable and unsurprising.With this, and other DX skills covered in the talk, we will create maintainable, educational and pleasant to use projects, not only for other developers, but also for our future selves!
Tracking Aircraft with Streams + Software-Defined Radio - Guy Royse - NDC London 2024 NDC Conferences 2024-04-19 | This talk was recorded at NDC London in London, England. #ndclondon #ndcconferences #developer #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: ndcconferences.comndclondon.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: /@NDC Follow our Social Media!facebook.com/ndcconferencestwitter.com/NDC_Conferencesinstagram.com/ndc_conferences#iot #microservices #fun Aircraft are everywhere. Knowing exactly where is paramount as it’s considered bad form for two aircraft to be in the same place at the same time. To avoid this, aircraft worldwide constantly and publicly broadcast their location, heading, and all sorts of other data using a system called ADS-B or Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast.This data is a natural fit for an event stream. After all, it’s a constant stream of data that is literally being broadcast in real-time. But how can we capture these broadcasts and the data within? Surely it must require expensive hardware and special tools!Not so much. It turns out that we can capture ADS-B data easily using a combination of a cheap radio dongle and free software—a combination called software-defined radio. From there we can store it in an event stream and consume, transform, and publish it at our leisure. Cool, right?In this session, you’ll learn how software-defined radio works (and not just for ADB-S), how to receive and store ADS-B data in event streams, and how to use those streams to build a map showing real-time flight data using Node.js, Redis Streams, and whatever front-end JavaScript framework happens to be popular that day!
