C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations. ✅C++ Career Prospects: With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack

CI/CD OverviewAn Nguyen

This document provides an overview of continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and continuous deployment. CI involves regularly integrating code changes into a central repository and running automated tests. CD builds on CI by automatically preparing code changes for release to testing environments. Continuous deployment further automates the release of changes to production without human intervention if tests pass. The benefits of CI/CD include higher quality, lower costs, faster delivery, and happier teams. Popular CI tools include Jenkins, Bamboo, CircleCI, and Travis. Key practices involve automating all stages, keeping environments consistent, and making the pipeline fast. Challenges include requiring organizational changes and technical knowledge to automate the full process.

The Log4Shell Vulnerability – explained: how to stay secureKaspersky

On December 9th, researchers uncovered a zero-day critical vulnerability in the Apache Log4j library used by millions of Java applications. CVE-2021-44228 or “Log4Shell” is a RCE vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code and potentially take full control over an infected system. The vulnerability has been ranked a 10/10 on the CVSSv3 severity scale. While the Apache Foundation has already released a patch for this CVE, it can take weeks or months for vendors to update their software, and there are already widespread scans being conducted by malicious attackers to exploit Log4Shell. What should companies or organizations do? Join Marco Preuss, Head of Europe’s Global Research and Analysis (GReAT) team, Marc Rivero and Dan Demeter, Senior Security Researchers with GReAT, for an in-depth discussion on Log4Shell and a live Q&A session.

Open Source Saturday - How can I contribute to Ruby on Rails?Pravin Mishra

Making your first contribution to an open source library can be very daunting. If you’re like me, I was/am nagged by self-doubt and a fear that I would/will “do it wrong.” I worry about the mocking of other developers, all solidified by years of open source contributions. If you are stuck in the self-doubt phase, but want to jump in, you may be asking “What’s the first step?” or “How do I contribute?” Well, We aim to answer those kinds of questions by walking you through steps.

Making Your First Open-Source Contribution (EuroPython)Julie Pichon

How to contribute to large open source projects like Docker (LinuxCon 2015)Jérôme Petazzoni

Contributing to a large open source project can seem daunting at first; but fear not! You too can join thousands of successful contributors. First, you don't have to be an expert in Golang, Python, or C, to contribute to Docker, OpenStack, or the Linux Kernel. Many projects also need help with documentation, translation, testing, triaging issues, and more. Very often, just going through bug reports to reproduce them and confirm "this also happens on my setup, with version XYZ" is extremely helpful. If you decide to take the leap and propose a change (be it code or documentation), each open source project has different contribution guidelines and workflows. In this talk, Arnaud and Jérôme will explain some of those workflows, how maintainers review your patches, and highlight the details that make your changes more likely to be merged into the project.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock

Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics 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 for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them. But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?

How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe

Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results. News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
