Devclub #046 October event follow-up

After a long pause we finally had our event in October. This time with two talks by Matti and Raido from GrabCAD and Konstantin from Malwarebytes.

Matti and Raido shared their experience of building a cross-platform desktop app with web development tools. With electron framework they managed to build and ship fully functioning 3D pringing preparation and management tool. This is a smart way to utilize existing web development experience to build native apps. This also allowed them to reuse certain components in both web and native apps. The video recording is available here.

Konstantin made an introduction to HTTP headers designed to improve security of a website. He started with an overview of the old school class of headers, then moved to the modern ones. Described how they work and what kind of attacks they protect from. Also told about some gotchas and how not to shoot oneself in the foot using them. Video is here.

You can find slides for both talks in our site archive, and photos are here.

Also, if 3D printing topic is interesting for you, make sure you don’t miss GrabCAD’s Print Workshop on Thursday, December 1st. Sign up here.

2. Weaving Web Applications with Apache Tapestry.

Tõnis Pihlakas is ‎Software Developer and Architect @ ‎PlaytechI have been a software engineer for the last 12 years, always interested in empowering people, sometimes using technologies that are a bit odd or off the beaten path. Having started as a Visual FoxPro developer, moving (up?) the ranks to PHP and Java, I have settled into building tools and libraries to help fellow developers succeed in their daily work. What will Tõnis talk about? This year, Apache Tapestry celebrates its 10th year as a top-level project under the Apache Foundation’s umbrella. In this talk, I would like to share some of my personal and professional ups and downs taming this beast of a web application framework and how we made (or at least tried to make) it fit into the Playtech IMS. This includes a short introduction to Tapestry 5, some thoughts on what it can be useful for and where it falls flat on its face, examples of code and some trickery we have used to make Tapestry match our needs.    

3. Implementing an intelligent form engine.

Villu Vaimets is Head of Engineering @ ReSysI have worked on software development mainly targeted to insurance business, responsible of design and implementation service platform technologies. What will Villu talk about? Nobody likes to fill in forms! I will talk about features that are expected from modern form engines to make filling them as painless as possible and what is needed to get changes on-line on different platforms quickly. What kind of challenges we faced implementing it using open source technologies and how we solved them.
