Devclub #025

Greetings!

The XXV DevClub will take place on the 17th of December at 19.00 in Oru Hotel.

Another year is ending and of course we can not end it properly without a DevClub event. What makes it very special is that it’s already the 25th DevClub. As it’s an anniversary then we have some very special treats for you!

The first two are:

  • Popular 5-minute lightning-talks with some pretty cool people and topics up our sleeves.
  • And a very practical workshop- Code Kata, by Erik JĂ”gi (Codeborne):

Let’s practice programming again! Maybe it will make our daytime jobs slightly easier.

This time I will propose a Code Kata where there is no code yet- just a clear target. No more clues- to make it more interesting when you’re there.

Just like last time- there is no language restriction- everyone is welcome. And we’ll also try pair programming again- so if you don’t have a laptop- come anyway. We will find you a pair. And if you do have a laptop- bring it along. With your favourite IDE set up.  So get ready for the last DevClub this year- it’s going to be awesome and sweet with gingerbread and mulled wine!

PS! If someone is interested in making a 5-minute presentation on any subject then just let us know: devclub-ee@googlegroups.com. A small present is quaranteed 😉

 See you already on the 17th of December at Oru Hotel!

Devclub #024

Nii, sĂŒgis on alanud ja sellega koos ka suvepuhkused on lĂ€bi ning ongi paras aeg pĂŒhenduda sellel, mis sĂŒdamelĂ€hedane ja armas – devclub XXIV ootab sind Oru hotellis 24.septembril 19:00.

Jason Bloomberg, Tought Leader- Author- Consultant

Jason Bloomberg is the President of  ZapThink, a Dovel Technologies Company. He is a global thought leader in the areas of Enterprise Architecture, Service-Oriented Architecture, and Cloud Computing, and helps organizations around the world better leverage their IT resources to meet changing business needs. He created the Licensed ZapThink Architect (LZA) SOA course and associated credential, and runs the LZA course as well as his Cloud Computing for Architects course around the world.

He is a frequent speaker and prolific writer. He has spoken at hundreds of conferences, seminars, and Webinars. He has over four hundred published articles and is an author of four books. He has also been quoted in the press as an industry expert on over 1,400 occasions.

His new book, The Agile Architecture Revolution, reinvents Enterprise Architecture to support continuous business transformation. Published in March 2013 by John Wiley & Sons.

This is what Jason will talk about:

 â€žThe Brave New World of IT“.

Over the last several years, the world of Information Technology has bifurcated into two world views: Enterprise IT and the Web. The “Dark Side” of Enterprise IT is characterized by monolithic, expensive applications that are partition intolerant, rely upon vertical scalability, and have a single point of control. The “Light Side” of the Web consists of distributed, resilient applications that are partition tolerant, horizontally scalable, and often have distributed control structures. The Dark Side sees the Web as little more than a user interface, while the Light Side sees enterprise IT as ancient legacy spaghetti code. Neither perspective does the other justice.

These two world views have lived in a precarious balance since the Web established itself in the 1990s. But now, Cloud Computing, REST, Big Data, Mobility, and several other transformational trends are rewriting the book on Enterprise IT. And yet, we must still deliver value to the business as we always have.

The secret to making sense of this confusing array of technologies and approaches? Architecture. Only with Agile Architecture can we bring the enterprise into the Light.

How to adopt TDD safely? – J. B. Rainsberger

VIDEO: Consistency, Availability, and Time – Andres Jaan Tack

Devclub #023

Seekordne Devclub oli jĂ€rjekordselt eriline – nii nagu Alek sisse juhatades ĂŒtles.

J.B. Rainsberger alustas ja rÀÀkis meile, kuidas Test Driven Development-i teistele “mĂŒĂŒa”. Muu hulgas soovitas ta mitut raamatut mis ei pruugi esmapilgul progejate lauale sattuda. KĂ”ige eredamalt jĂ€i meelde “The New Strategic Selling”, mis on abiks suvalise idee maha mĂŒĂŒmisel. TDD jutu vahele rÀÀkis ta ka vĂ€ga lahedalt oma imetlusvÀÀrsest kaalulangetamisest – ta on lĂŒhikese ajaga saanud lahti umbes poolest oma kehakaalust. KĂ”igile TDD-s kahtlejatele olgu heaks nĂ€iteks J.B. enda testide avastamise lugu – kuidas ta ise tundis vajadust asju paremini ja kvaliteetsemalt teha. Ta sai aega kolm nĂ€dalat ja suutis oluliselt pikema aja jooksul kirjutatud bugise funktsionaalsuse ĂŒmber kirjutada bugivabaks hea disainiga lahenduseks.

Teine esineja oli Andres Jaan Tack Skypest. Tema rÀÀkis mitte-relatsioonilistest suurtest andmebaasidest – mis on neis head ja mida halba. Oli tĂ”eliselt mĂ”nus kuulata sĂ”ltumatut vaadet sellesse maailma. Tavaliselt rÀÀgivad sellest mehed, kes seda pikka aega kasutanud ja usuvad, et kĂ”ik teised lahendused on halvad vĂ”rreldes sellega. Tegelik elu on veidi erinev ja ka suurtes firmades pole selget nĂ€gemust, mis on parim lahendus ning kas ACID on ikka hea vĂ”i halb.

Devclub #023

Nii nii, kurke pole enam kasta vaja ja muruniituki vĂ”ib ka varsti garaazi tĂ”ugata. Ongi paras aeg pĂŒhenduda sellel, mis sĂŒdamelĂ€hedane ja armas – devclub XXIII ootab sind ja sinu sĂ€deleva ekraaniga kaaslast. Oru hotellis 22.augustil 19:00.

Kavas:

J. B. (Joe) Rainsberger,  „How to adopt TDD safely? Changing how we work always creates uncertainty and adds risk, so how do we do TDD without jeopardising the project?“. J.B rÀÀgib ja nĂ€itab kuidas TDD juurutamisega projekti mitta Ă€ra rikkuda. Ta Ă”petab ka avalikul koolitusel, kes soovib see registreerib: http://devtraining.ee/test-driven-developmen-Beyond-the-Basics

Andres Jaan Tack. „Consistency, Availability, and Time“ . Skype’s töötav Andres rÀÀgib andmesalvestussĂŒsteemidest ja tĂ€htsamatest projektidest, mis selle arenguid on suunanud.

The state of the art for data storage has taken several leaps in the last ten years. In the early 2000s, Ruby on Rails’ ActiveRecord implementation made relational databases beautiful and expressive. Then a few years later Amazon Dynamo emerged and programmers learned to work with eventual consistency. More recently, Google’s Spanner claims that all the complexity is unnecessary. In this survey talk, we’ll review the discussion with these projects to guide us.

Andres Jaan Tack is an Estonian-American _vĂ€liseestlane_ from Chicago. After studying concurrency and transactional memory at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he left the program in 2010 to join Skype in Tallinn, where he’s now working on moving Skype’s call signaling infrastructure to the Azure cloud.
