Few years back, using Web technologies for building mobile apps revolved around using hybrid frameworks that basically used a web host view to run a web app inside. As a consequence, the performance of such apps rarely met the desired expectations, leaving the development of immersive and exciting mobile apps to native mobile technologies. This fact has been hard on businesses as well, as having the need of investing in separate designated teams to target multiple platforms takes its toll on expenses, effort, and time.
Luckily, the rules have changed! We can now see more and more technologies emerge to fill in the gap. For quite some time now, building modern native mobile apps using Web technologies is no longer a dream!
In this session, we introduce web developers to NativeScript, an open source framework for building native iOS and Android apps. Join me on this journey as we build a cool pizza order and delivery mobile native app, and in the process learn the fundamentals of NativeScript.

About 10% of all Internet requests flow through Cloudflare’s network. In addition to providing performance and security for over 7 million websites, Cloudflare exposes our entire infrastructure via a standard programmatic interface.
In this talk, we’ll cover:
Improving mobile app performance, especially over spotty network connections (mobile SDK)
Access control at the edge (Cloudflare Access)
How to write JavaScript that runs on Cloudflare’s edge (Cloudflare Workers)
Write plugins that other people can install onto their websites (Cloudflare Apps)
If you could leverage 120 data centers worldwide, what would you build?
At this point, the obvious solution is to turn to a CMS or to write an application that renders pages dynamically for each visitor. In the process, we have to work with all the problems of a traditional web application.
In this talk, Rouven will give an overview how serverless technologies can be used to cover these dynamic use-cases without sacrificing the advantages of a static site.
Smart homes, smart cities and the Internet of Things rely on highly accurate and precise location technology.

Automation and DevOps have changed the way organizations deliver products. The shift towards DevOps made it pretty clear that companies are adopting this organizational model in order to facilitate a practice of automated software deployment. While the traditional idea of a “software release” dissolves away into a continuous cycle of service and delivery improvements, organizations find that their traditional application security solutions are having a hard time to adapt to the new process and security becomes an inhibitor to the complete process.
In this session, you’ll learn how different organizations adopted security into their DevOps processes. What obstacles need to be addressed when introducing AppSec to DevOps and when should Sec be added to DevOps?
Join us to:
Software engineering is one of the fastest growing jobs today - there’s more competition for talent than ever before. As a result, companies are finding it hard to hire skilled developers, fueling bidding wars for programmers worldwide For the first time, HackerRank surveyed its community of 3.2 million developers to get a pulse on the DNA of software engineers, including the languages and frameworks they like best, the tools they use to learn to code, what they look for in a job, and what recruiters desire most in a candidate.
Join HackerRank CEO Vivek Ravisankar as he shares what hiring managers and leaders need to know to successfully win talent in an increasingly competitive landscape, and what the best brands are doing to attract and hire top talent faster.
The more limited their devices, the more developers need smart, flexible cloud connectivity options to control interactions across the network. Which is to say, for the billions of "smart" devices that make up the Internet of Things, the real intelligence resides in the cloud, where the key to connecting, protecting, and controlling these resource-constrained and vulnerable devices is the intelligent cloud connectivity API.
Cloud APIs establish the crucial two-way link between "dumb" IoT devices and smart networks. In an intelligent IoT ecosystem, a few API calls should be all you need to direct data securely from any device in your network to any destination you choose, including web service endpoints, cloud resources, or platform-level data storage.

AI sounds great, but we just want to build better software. In this talk we aim to cut through the endless hype and jargon to answer the key question of how to build better software using AI. We show how self-optimization, a surprisingly simple and intuitive paradigm, can deliver all tangible benefits of AI without having to deal with complex and brittle pipelines, algorithms, models, or even data. We present a complete walkthrough and live demonstration as well as many real-world results and comparisons against traditional methodology. Finally, we review various relevant market dynamics, including increasingly AI-driven acquisition channels (search engines, app stores, social feeds, ad networks etc), that are rapidly making effective optimization crucial for software products and developers to achieve their full potential in the marketplace.
MongoDB and Elasticsearch are both NoSQL "databases", or more correctly NoSQL data stores that are often compared and contrasted on a head-to-head basis.
But if comparing that way, one could easily miss out on the opportunity to use both together as individual and independent data stores that serve specific purposes to deliver the best overall solution for your application flow and performance needs.
Join Kimberly to discuss each technology overall and provide details of the underlying technology with architectural information and basic functioning for these two different NoSQL options. Next learn about the strengths and weaknesses of each, scaling for high availability, and opinions on best use cases both separately and together along with potential new use cases in emerging and disruptor sectors such as related to AI and ML/DL uses then with blockchain and cryptocurrency.

You dreamed it, you created it, you nurtured it. Now you want to give it the best possible chance to succeed in the real world. Unfortunately, your mobile app relies heavily on mobile networks that are inherently unreliable.
Learn what’s compromising your mobile app network performance, how to gain visibility, insight and control of your mobile app behavior, and how to remove roadblocks and accelerate your app’s path to success.
We interviewed hundreds of developers, testers and DevOps practitioners across 100+ enterprises and uncovered some shocking truths about the state of DevOps in Enterprise IT. For example, did you know that the Development and DevOps teams don’t collaborate enough on timelines, goals or even the tools.
In this session, we will discuss these challenges and the critical role that Developers must play in unblocking their teams’ path to becoming an efficient DevOps organizations.
From a management perspective, what challenges have you faced in managing personnel as you scaled up your technology team?
What project management methodologies (SCRUM, Waterfall, etc) have you tried, and which new initiatives are you pushing for?
What is the basic “developer team” in your company (number of junior developers, senior developers, product managers, QA, etc) and how does that change as you scale up? How do you think the basic team should change?
Google’s Angular, a JavaScript framework, is a massively popular MV* framework for building complex applications in the modern world, be that for the web, mobile, or desktop. It comes with almost everything you need to build a complicated frontend apps, including powerful templates with fast rendering, data management, HTTP services, form handling, routing, modules, and more.
Building modern real-life production-grade front-end apps is not a simple task, especially when you account for developing apps and libraries that are shared across several teams and multiple products. It is one thing to develop a standard Angular using its basic component features, but have you ever designed and shipped a real reusable Angular component library?
In this session we're going to focus on building reusable components, explore the numerous design decisions involved, and discuss the thought process of building such components. We will see how we can use advanced features of Angular to enhance our components and make them more customizable for every need. We'll also cover the necessary steps required to package and publish our components as a consumable component library.
What was the largest challenge you have faced in scaling up your technology, and how have you overcome it?
What current challenges do you face today in scaling up your company’s technology?
Have you had to drop past languages, technologies, or frameworks in order to scale up? What were they, and how did you replace them?

I will talk on how the ideas behind the semantic web and linked data help us build microservices that are truly reusable. By using strong open standards such as HTTP, JSON API and SPARQL we can ensure software that is independent of the data model being used by applications internally.
Further I will also touch upon the subjects of reactive programming and user aware graph stores. Combined with configurability these ideas complete the necessary conditions for application independent reusability.
We have applied these ideas at both production and research projects for both European institutions as well as for the Flemish government such as ESCO, Big Data Europe, Your Data Stories and more.
Lastly I want to show the (open source) tools that we are developing to facilitate the usage of these ideas. We have build the foundations of a framework around semantic user facing microservices with mu.semte.ch, We have build an open source platform to allow small to medium sized companies to experiment with big data using these ideas. And we have developed database technology that allows for distributed querying on big graphs. The last 2 are products of the big data europe project (EU horizon 2020).
