Devclub #039 June 18

On 2015-06-11

June DevClub is near! We have two great talks to offer, where “some well kept secrets will be revealed”. We will meet on June 18th, 19:00 @ Hotel Tallink SPA & Conference Hotel, Galaxy2 room.

Achtung, achtung! We have a small tendency in DevClub events: There are certain amount of people who register, but don’t show up. Because of that, we ask you kindly avoiding registering “just in case”, but rather when you really are going to attend. We understand that there might be last minute change of plans and that is ok. Organizing team would be most thankful if you would take this remark into consideration. So be bold to register 🙂

AGENDA

1. How to Dramatically Increase The Delivery Speed of an IT Company?

Jaan Pullerits is Senior Software Developer @ Myjar. What will Jaan talk about?“Often I hear people asking how to make developers put in more effort. How to make them give 110% of themselves to the project? How to make them walk the extra mile for the success of the company? On this presentation, I will reveal the well kept secrets of the most rapid development practices known to man. Including all the benefits and pitfalls of the process. Prepare your mind to be blown!”

2. Big Data, Hadoop & Spark Intro

Oleg Mürk is Founding Engineer @ Planet OS (formerly known as Marinexplore). What will Oleg talk about?“Big data is often defined in terms of batch analytics that is concerned with processing large data volumes that don’t fit into one large server (1TB+) and streaming analytics that is concerned with processing high message throughput (1M+/second) at low latency (eg ~1 second). Typical use-cases are business intelligence, sentiment analysis, fraud detection, recommendations, graph analysis, etc.Hadoop is a first generation big data computing framework for clusters, modeled on Google’s MapReduce, Google File System, and BigTable. Spark is a second generation big data framework that substantially improves upon Hadoop MapReduce in terms of execution performance and developer productivity. In this talk I will give a brief overview of Big Data and Hadoop ecosystem, followed by a more detailed discussion of Spark.”

See you on 18th of June, 19:00 @ Tallink SPA & Conference Hotel.

DevClub is excited to bring another great speaker to Estonia. Venkat Subramaniam, who is doing TDD training on May 6-7th agreed to give a talk at DevClub as well. We will meet on Wednesday May 6th, 19:00 @ Hotel Tallink SPA & Conference Hotel, Galaxy2 room.

AGENDA

1. Being Lazy—Lazy Evaluations and how it impacts Efficiency. (90 min talk)

Dr. Venkat Subramaniam is an award-winning author, founder of Agile Developer, Inc., and an instructional professor at the University of Houston. He has trained and mentored thousands of software developers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia, and is a regularly-invited speaker at several international conferences. Venkat is a (co)author of multiple books, including the 2007 Jolt Productivity award winning book Practices of an Agile Developer. His latest book is Functional Programming in Java: Harnessing the Power of Java 8 Lambda Expressions. What will Venkat talk about? “When we hear about functional programming, we hear about immutability and higher order functions. It turns out, one of the real charms of functional programming is lazy evaluation Lazy evaluation is all about postponing execution until the last responsible moment. This can lead to quite a bit of efficiency in the execution of code. In this presentation we will learn about what lazy evaluation is, look at example of lazy evaluation, discuss the benefits of laziness, and how it leads to better performance and efficiency of code.”

You could get your work done from anywhere in the world, whether it be at a cafe near a beach in Florida, or at a quiet village near Tartu. Remote work is a growing trend globally, yet still rare among Estonian companies. Evelin will explain why Toggl has completely embraced this new trend. She will share the values and tricks that help keep together a team living in 7 countries spanning 3 continents.”

In Meetup announcement

DevClub brings to you Google vol 2. This is not all! Clusterpoint from Latvia is here, got the warm welcome at the Latvian DevClub, last month. We will meet on April 16th, 19:00 @ Hotel Tallink SPA & Conference Hotel, Galaxy2 room. We meet this time at another venue, to have a bit more space, but the we still have limited amount of seats 🙂

Agenda

1. Kubernetes, Google Container Engine, and the Compute Continuum.

By Matthew Feigal, Google. Matt worked in mobile development, research and innovation projects in the medical and retail industry, before realizing he needed an even faster rate of exploration and change! Now as a Cloud Platform Solution Engineer at Google, he can’t keep up with the change… but he gets to help companies build systems that scale, and loves it.

What will Matt talk about? “Once you package your application into containers (for instance Docker), how do you set up and manage a complex application with many containers? I’ll describe the concepts behind a Kubernetes cluster, and show an example deployment: Meteor, Node.js and MongoDB running on Google Container Engine. I’ll also explain how Google is using containers to smooth out the painful “IaaS/PaaS cliff” into a continuous curve.”

2. What it takes to become a database in the Cloud – NoSQL database?

By Jurģis Orups (CTO @ Clusterpoint). Jurģis has remarkable experience building large-scale, distributed systems and he is also cofounder in Clusterpoint, spending his time building emerging NoSQL database.What will Jurgis talk about? “A NoSQL database born in Latvia. Jugis will dive into details on and around the story behind the database, technology and global market.”
