On 2015-03-12

DevClub is very excited to bring to you our guest speaker Vasco Duarte and one of our own guys, Konstantin Root. We will meet on March 17th, 19:00 @ Hotel Euroopa.

Place: Event will be held at hotel Euroopa Conference Center, 2. floor hall Ida-Euroopa.

AGENDA:

1. No estimates: how you can predict the release date of your project without estimating.

By Vasco Duarte. Product Manager, Scrum Master, Project Manager, Director, Agile Coach – only some of the roles that he has taken in software development organizations. Having worked in the software industry since 1997, and Agile practitioner since 2004. He has worked in small, medium and large software organizations as an Agile Coach or leader in agile adoption at those organizations One of the leaders of Agile methods and Agile culture adoption at Avira and F-Secure. Principal Consultant and Managing partner at Oikosofy.com.

Often we hear that estimating a project is a must. “We can’t make decisions without them” we hear often. In this session I’ll present examples of how we can predict a release date of a project without any estimates, only relying on easily available data.I’ll show how we can follow progress on a project at all times without having to rely on guesswork, and we will review how large, very large and small projects have already benefited from this in the past. At the end of the session you will be ready to start your own #NoEstimates journey.

2. Using Docker in development and production, is it as useful as the hype claims?

By Konstantin Root. Engineering director and architect with substantial experience in building highly complex systems and delivering them on time and with high quality. Konstantin is currently in a unique position in Estonia – he is working on it for last 1.5 years and also managing official Docker Meetup in Estonia. Head of Development Estonia at Insparx.

After quick introduction to the Docker I will show examples how and why you can greatly benefit using Docker in development and production. We will also look at the cases when it does not make sense to use Docker. At the end we will install/configure Docker and build container for real production service in 20 minutes from scratch.

Cheers,DevClub

Hi! Hopefully Your new year has started well. DevClub starts the year 2015 with 2 great talks. Check it out yourself! See you in 19th of January.

ATTENTION: Event will be held at hotel Euroopa Conference Center, 2. floor hall Ida-Euroopa.

Agenda:

A peek to Taxify engineering – behind the scenes. By Rain Johanson, Head of Engineering @ Taxify.Taxify was founded in 2013 and has hundreds of thousands of users by now in the Baltics and Finland, planning to expand in four European countries in he beginning of 2015, getting 1.4 million euro investment at the end of 2014. Rain will give you a brief overview of the systems Taxify is building and will talk about what are the challenges in building a product for hundreds of thousands of users.
Internet of things meets blockchain. By Maria Pääsuke (QA) & Maroš Kotula (Java Developer) @ Ignite.Merchants and consumers are looking forward to reducing operational costs. As alternative to expensive centralized banking transfers decentralized payment system has proved its effectiveness in reducing costs associated to transferring a value and acquiring assets. Another growing trend is the Internet of Things (IoT) mesh network, which is able to communicate through Internet, Bluetooth and mesh at the same time and therefore maintain stable connection within the network. Decentralized payments and IOT mesh network can be a synergy. Monetization of physical assets involved within the Internet of Things (IoT) mesh networks is possible. The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the growing network of physical objects that feature an IP address for internet connectivity. The communication occurs between these objects and other Internet-enabled devices and systems.Imagine IoT devices that are able to trade their data and services. Each product or service can be paid for using token. Token is created by the decentralized application and is easily transferable from peer to peer for example via the bitcoins blockchain. The decentralized application manages payment addresses that can be assigned to each IOT device for data or service that one might want to acquire.
