9 MYTHS OF SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS GATHERING
Review some common mistakes to avoid during the requirements gathering process, and explore a variety of best practices that help ensure project success
Acceptance Test Automation and the Robot Framework
Need to test more than just your user interface? Learn how to test APIs, database connections, ETL solutions, and much more!
Blockchain for Enterprise
Blockchain is often mentioned within the context of asset tracking, rewards tokenization, and payments. In this talk we dive into some of these blockchain use cases. We outline a business use case (supply chain platform, DeFi etc.) and develop a blockchain-based solution for that use case.
Blockchain Smart Contracts
Smart contracts are at the heart of modern blockchain platforms, such as Ethereum, EOS.IO, and others. In this session, learn the fundamentals of smart contracts and their typical use cases. We present a basic business use case and develop a smart contract that codifies the use case.
Blockchain Use Cases Survey
Blockchain technology is often recommended as a viable component of a variety of solution platforms. It can be a more elegant solution for trust gaps in existing platforms. In this talk we deliver a broad survey of well-known solutions in the following four domains: decentralized finance (DeFi), supply chain, global payments, and rewards tokenization.
Flow – Adding Types to JavaScript
Learn how Flow helps you find type errors before runtime by precisely tracking variable types as they flow through a program.
GORM and GRAPHQL
Get an introduction to a new GORM™ extension and a Grails plugin that combines GORM and GraphQL to increase your productivity, and learn how to expose GraphQL APIs in your applications through the use of GORM-GraphQL.
HERE WE ... GO! (WITH THE GO PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE)
Go has firmly established itself as an expressive, concise, clean, and efficient programming language. But, what is Go good for? This talk presents a brief history and overview of this popular language and explores some of the problem domains where Go is successfully applied.
Introduction to React
React is a declarative, efficient, and flexible JavaScript library for building user interfaces. Learn how React makes your code more predictable and easier to debug.
Launching the Micro Future
Find out how the future of Grails, GORM, and Micronaut are linked, and discover how to take your productivity to the next level when building microservices!
MICROSERVICES ON GCP SIMPLIFIED
Google Cloud provides a highly scalable platform for delivering microservices and serverless applications.The Micronaut framework simplifies the architectural development and deployment of microservices, and it comes with built-in support for GCP services and hosting. Learn how leveraging Micronaut and GCP together allows you to build powerful applications with minimal complexity and effort.
OPENdds sECURITY
Smart industrial automation systems controlled by autonomous computer systems can improve operations efficiency, but they can also increase risk to the health and safety of the people that use them. For this reason, application security and safety must be a first-class concern. In this talk you will learn how the security model and service plugin interface (SPI) architecture for OpenDDS facilitate secure middleware solutions.
OpenDDS Use Cases
The rapid expansion of the “Internet of Things” is impacting the world around us. Innovations in new system designs, products, and capabilities are driven by the drop in prices of typical IoT components, as well as continual improvements in the software tools needed to connect them. Nowhere is this more evident than in industrial settings. In this tech talk, you will learn how to apply IoT concepts with OpenDDS to industrial use cases, including architecture, analytics, and machine learning, to achieve valuable business insights and drive smarter, faster decisions.
Publishing REST APIs With Grails 4
Learn how to publish and version APIs, customize response content, deal with security, and interact with a database from a REST API with Grails 4.
ROOM WITH A VUE: INTRODUCTION TO VUE.JS
Get to know this new kid on the frontend block and discover why Vue.js might not be "just another JavaScript framework." Explore Vue's ecosystem, including state management with Vuex and routing with Vue-router, and see how Vue compares to its better-known rivals.
TEST AUTOMATION: MODERN METHODS AND TOOLS
Testing web-based user interfaces doesn’t need to be time-consuming or expensive. Learn how to improve your user interfaces with modern methods and tools, and explore how to use these tools to make valuable contributions to the automation of critical software testing.
That Blockchain Thing (Blockchain Basics)
Let our engineering team walk you through the basics of blockchain technology. We explain technology fundamentals, such as smart contracts, transactions, consensus, blocks, etc. Learn about this technology's relevance to the enterprise and its use cases.
What Is Decentralized Finance (DeFi)?
The Bitcoin platform gave birth to blockchain technology and consequently started the DeFi economy. What started out as a basic decentralized token transfer mechanism was supercharged by the Ethereum smart contracts framework. DeFi applications today are much more complex and come in several flavors. In this talk we cover the basics of DeFi, as well as a broad survey of well known DeFi solutions in the market today.
Additional Topics
Cybersecurity, web development, machine learning and artificial intelligence, IoT and IIoT, microservices, blockchain and smart contracts, cloud engineering, programming languages (Java, C++, .NET, Python, and more), web design and UI/UX, and more!
This program is 100% free, and it is a great way to develop and motivate employees while creating a workplace culture of continuous learning and innovation.
