Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes3,968 views
Robert gave a talk about how LightSwitch can help developers build mobile APIs and HTML5 apps faster by automating common development tasks and boring code, allowing them to focus on adding unique value. LightSwitch is a tool that streamlines creating the technical requirements for apps so they can be developed more quickly, connecting to data sources like SQL Server and exposing them through OData for mobile and HTML5 clients.

Visual Studio: The best tool for web developers.
Visual Studio: The best tool for web developers.Robert MacLean The document discusses Visual Studio and its benefits for web development. It introduces the presenter Robert MacLean and his website. The bulk of the document outlines new features in Visual Studio 2013 like CodeLens, Browser Link, and HTML/CSS improvements that make web development easier. It demonstrates building an HTML page in Visual Studio 2012.2 using extensions like Git and Web Essentials. The document concludes that Visual Studio provides a happy development experience for web developers, especially with features like LESS, Emmet, JavaScript support, and easy deployment with Web Deploy.
What’s new in LightSwitch 2013?
What’s new in LightSwitch 2013?Robert MacLean This document summarizes the key updates in LightSwitch from 2012 to 2013. In 2012, LightSwitch was included with Visual Studio and its middleware changed from RIA Services to OData, enabling platform interoperability. New controls and UI features were also added. In 2013, LightSwitch addressed Silverlight concerns by supporting HTML5 clients, allowed building more complex APIs using Web API, and fully supported SharePoint 2013 apps. The overall message is that LightSwitch continues to be the easiest way to build various application types including LOB apps, web platforms, and SharePoint apps.

Aspect oriented programming
Aspect oriented programmingRobert MacLean This document discusses aspect-oriented programming (AOP) and how it can be implemented using PostSharp. AOP aims to make cross-cutting concerns like logging and error handling easier to implement separately from business logic. It describes how PostSharp uses IL weaving to modify code at compile time or JIT to add aspects without changing the original code. Alternatives to PostSharp include using the .NET profiler API or proxies, but IL weaving generally has better performance. The document also briefly outlines how AOP may be improved in future versions of C# compilers like Roslyn.

Windows Store Apps: Tips & Tricks
Windows Store Apps: Tips & TricksRobert MacLean This document provides tips and tricks for developing Windows Store apps. It discusses updating Visual Studio for the latest tools, using MVVM architecture and ViewStateManager, debugging techniques, and key features for app success like integrating with the OS and using analytics to understand usage and crashes. The presentation encourages embracing MVVM patterns, leveraging ViewStateManager, debugging background tasks in Visual Studio, and using analytics services to improve the app based on metrics.

The Future of-the CMS (Twin Cities DrupalCamp 2015)
The Future of-the CMS (Twin Cities DrupalCamp 2015)Todd Ross Nienkerk In this session, we will rethink the role of designers, the purpose of a CMS, and how we manage and consume content. We will discuss:
(1) The tension between a design and a CMS. Should your design be optimized for your CMS? Or should you modify your CMS to achieve your design? In other words, are you walking the dog, or is the dog walking you?
(2) "Headless" Drupal: Drupal as a backend with multiple frontends. Drupal's theming layer is difficult to master and expensive to upgrade between major releases. We will discuss how the frontend and backend can be decoupled to provide better experiences for users, developers, and designers alike.
(3) Content as a service. Decoupling isn't just about separating the frontend from the backend or making upgrades easier. In fact, the real power of headless Drupal is separating content from presentation, allowing you to connect any number of websites, channels, or devices to a single source of content through an API!
(4) TWiT.tv case study. We'll close by discussing how Four Kitchens work with This Week in Tech to relaunch TWiT.tv as a decoupled Drupal site with an exposed API allowing their fanbase to directly access content.
Get ready for some really big, innovative ideas!
(This session was delivered at Twin Cities DrupalCamp on June 27, 2015.)

14 things you need to be a successful software developer (v3)Robert MacLean As we passed 140 years of software development, you would think the path to success has been worked out, documented, taught, and largely understood and yet, most software is late, over budget, or full of bugs (sometimes all three). This talk is not about the new Wizz-bang tech that will change your life by solving the issues in software development and only cost you a monthly subscription to your favourite tech company, rather this talk is focused on the only thing that you have control to change, YOURSELF.

TrustArc Webinar - Building your DPIA/PIA Program: Best Practices & Tips
TrustArc Webinar - Building your DPIA/PIA Program: Best Practices & TipsTrustArc Understanding DPIA/PIAs and how to implement them can be the key to embedding privacy in the heart of your organization as well as achieving compliance with multiple data protection / privacy laws, such as GDPR and CCPA. Indeed, the GDPR mandates Privacy by Design and requires documented Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high risk processing and the EU AI Act requires an assessment of fundamental rights.
How can you build this into a sustainable program across your business? What are the similarities and differences between PIAs and DPIAs? What are the best practices for integrating PIAs/DPIAs into your data privacy processes?
Whether you're refining your compliance framework or looking to enhance your PIA/DPIA execution, this session will provide actionable insights and strategies to ensure your organization meets the highest standards of data protection.
Join our panel of privacy experts as we explore:
- DPIA & PIA best practices
- Key regulatory requirements for conducting PIAs and DPIAs
- How to identify and mitigate data privacy risks through comprehensive assessments
- Strategies for ensuring documentation and compliance are robust and defensible
- Real-world case studies that highlight common pitfalls and practical solutions

Inside Freshworks' Migration from Cassandra to ScyllaDB by Premkumar Patturaj
Inside Freshworks' Migration from Cassandra to ScyllaDB by Premkumar PatturajScyllaDB Freshworks migrated from Cassandra to ScyllaDB to handle growing audit log data efficiently. Cassandra required frequent scaling, complex repairs, and had non-linear scaling. ScyllaDB reduced costs with fewer machines and improved operations. Using Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM), they bulk-migrated data, performed dual writes, and validated consistency.

DevNexus - Building 10x Development Organizations.pdfJustin Reock Developer Experience is Dead! Long Live Developer Experience!
In this keynote-style session, we’ll take a detailed, granular look at the barriers to productivity developers face today and modern approaches for removing them. 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method, we invent to deliver products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches works? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today so we don’t have the same discussion again in a decade?

Unlocking DevOps Secuirty :Vault & Keylock
Unlocking DevOps Secuirty :Vault & KeylockHusseinMalikMammadli DevOps iş təhlükəsizliyi sizi maraqlandırır? İstər developer, istər təhlükəsizlik mühəndisi, istərsə də DevOps həvəskarı olun, bu tədbir şəbəkələşmək, biliklərinizi bölüşmək və DevSecOps sahəsində ən son təcrübələri öyrənmək üçün mükəmməl fürsətdir!
Bu workshopda DevOps infrastrukturlarının təhlükəsizliyini necə artırmaq barədə danışacayıq. DevOps sistemləri qurularkən avtomatlaşdırılmış, yüksək əlçatan və etibarlı olması ilə yanaşı, həm də təhlükəsizlik məsələləri nəzərə alınmalıdır. Bu səbəbdən, DevOps komandolarının təhlükəsizliyə yönəlmiş praktikalara riayət etməsi vacibdir.
