Why IT Needs More Analytics Talent - Tech News _ Latest Technology NewsArup Das

There is a growing demand for analytics talent in the IT industry to help companies make better business decisions using data analytics. However, there is currently a shortage of professionals with analytics skills. While the IT job market in India is projected to grow and create over 250,000 new jobs in 2016, only 11-13% of these roles will be in analytics due to the lack of candidates with the necessary technical and business analytics training. Close partnerships between academia and industry are needed to help equip both new and experienced IT professionals with analytics skills relevant to real-world business problems.

Rural Entrepreneurship Pappu Kumar

Rural entrepreneurship can be defined as the activity taken up by the individuals in the countryside that either supports manufacturing products or provides services or adoption of new technologies for an economic benefit. It brings value addition to rural resources engaging largely human resources of rural areas. Rural Entrepreneurship is synonymous with rural industrialization. The development and growth of it help in generating self-employment, spreading industrial and economic activities and utilizing local labour as well as locally available raw materials.. Concept of Rural Entrepreneurship The concept of rural entrepreneurship, in simple terms, implies the categorization of all rural-inclined entrepreneurship with a focus on small business ventures, such as carpentry, tourism and other artisans (Ngugi et al., 2013; Osunde, 2016; Alabi et al., 2017). Rural entrepreneurship refers to establishing industrial and business units in rural areas. It is entrepreneurship emerging in rural areas. Rural entrepreneurs are those who carry out entrepreneurial activities in rural areas... Why Rural Entrepreneurship In rural India, unlike the urban India, with cyclic and disguised unemployment, it suffers with chronic underemployment. Due to distressedmigration of rural people to mega cities, the villages remain deserted and village resources are remaining unexplored. Besides, lack of infrastructure, market and financial access further aggravate rural livelihoods. The livelihood of trained village artisans stands at stake due to unorganized structure and lack of market. Apart from this, the purchasing power of rural people is crippling down and that of urban areas is bursting due to overcrowding. The traditionalist ways of rural industries somehow contribute meager to the productivity levels in rural India, so neither the new technological support nor the IT revolution has made any significant alterations in the pace of rural growth. The above-mentioned causes are underlying as a necessity to promote rural entrepreneurship so that the chronic underemployment and out-migration issues of rural areas are tackled on priority basis (Ghosh and Das, 2021)

The last mile problemLeena N

Have you ever asked a programmer how much longer “this” is going to take? Here goes another typical answer. I am done with most of the tasks, need extra time to finish the last few ones. And the “last few tasks” never ends or takes enormous amounts of time. On the one hand, we all know that estimates always go wrong. But there is another aspect to this too, i.e. the last mile problem. It can be because of the “fear or shipping” or not applying the guideline “done is better than perfect”. This talk is about a few tricks I tried not to get into the “perfection” mode; instead, get into the habit of “shipping”. Surprisingly, that helped me to avoid providing estimates :)

Expand Contract Pattern for Continuous Delivery of DatabasesLeena N

Sprinkle javascript using stimulus jsLeena N

n this world of Microservices, I am building a Monolith app. In this world of React and Vue, am building a server-side rendered app. However, I need Javascript. I can’t avoid that. I need some parts of the page updated dynamically. I need to show/hide certain parts of the page depending upon user actions. I don’t want JQuery for the obvious reasons. Slow.., Heavy and then, of course, it can easily create spaghetti code. That is when I came across Stimulus JS - a modest Javascript framework. It sprinkles Javascript to add behaviour to your HTML. It has a controller, action and targets (i.e. the HTML elements). Moreover, it pairs well with Turbolinks. So I don’t need to do the circus of converting JSON to DOM. I’ve been using Stimulus for over a year and its been quite good. This talk is about my experiences with Stimulus with a few examples. I will share recommendations on where it might be useful and where it is not.

Patterns and practices for evolvability - the key for technical agilityLeena N

Evolvability refers to the ability to adapt to market needs and the changing environment. Mainly two kinds of evolvability are needed: Product evolving as per the market needs to avoid Building something that nobody wants The architecture and the design of the software evolving to allow the team to make faster changes to the product without breaking things That is why it is crucial to build the right product and build it in the right way.

Expand contract pattern - Continuous Delivery for Databases - DevOpsDays SeattleLeena N

Modifying the schema of a production database is *hard*. If something goes wrong, the impact on both customers and the team can be enormous. And it can be hard or even impossible to rollback a database schema change if things go wrong. And the same is true for any architectural change for a production application. The Branch by Abstraction and Strangler Pattern makes significant application changes easier. Are there any similar patterns we can use to make production database changes less risky? Indeed, there are. The Expand/Contract pattern is a blueprint for making the database migration. It makes the remodelling both reversible and safe. By *expanding* the application to accommodate both the old and the new schemas in parallel, we can give ourselves time to: - Migrate any downstream dependencies on the old database schema - Gain confidence that the migration is safe We *contract* the application to the new version, once we’ve satisfied that the old schema is no longer needed. The pattern helps to make significant, but necessary refactorings to your data model in a **continuous delivery way**. Most importantly, without threatening the robustness of your production applications.

GrowthLeena N

What does career growth mean? How does one grow in their career? How do you choose an organisation which allows one to grow? One grows when the environment allows growing. I am not talking about the std. the corporate ladder. One can climb those automatically as the time passes. But all of us agree that it doesn't mean "growth". The key ingredients for the actual growth is the following: * Purpose - the intention to contribute to the well-being of others * Practice - Consistent and deliberate practice * Perseverance - Persistence to try out hard things The talk is about examples and stories about these ingredients and what makes those who have these ingredients and those who don't.

TDD, Refactoring - WorkshopLeena N

This document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and refactoring using the Gilded Rose kata exercise. It provides rules for TDD, such as only writing production code with a failing test and refactoring code after each test. Simple design principles are outlined, like revealing intention and avoiding duplication. Extreme object-oriented programming rules are also listed, like limiting indentation and properties. The goal is to practice TDD and refactoring skills through the Gilded Rose kata.

Merge hells!! feature toggles to the rescue - Presented @ Agile TorontoLeena N

Have you ever wondered how Amazon does deployments in every 11 seconds? Have you ever wondered how frequently Google Chrome updates? Compare that with an enterprise product you are using or the banking application that you use, it takes weeks or even months for an update. The assumption is that frequent releases are possible for Googles or Amazons or Unicorns. It is not for others. This talk is about why that assumption is wrong. It can be done anywhere, with enough focus and investment for the Continuous Delivery pipeline to make sure that every commit is releasable or deployable. And fundamental to Continuous Delivery is Continuous Integration. Continuous Integration guarantees every change committed to the repository is tested and reported about production readiness. And Feature Toggle is for turning features on/off depending upon certain conditions. This opens the opportunity to test certain features quickly with few users for experimentation and learning. Feature branching has been popular for long, but everyone knows about the “code merge hell”, a common issue because of long-lived branches or infrequent integration. If the team is spending time in fixing the merge hells and checking what part of the code needs to be merged, then it is not the efficient use of human talent.

Merge hells!! Feature toggles to the rescue - DevOpsDays MadisonLeena N

This document discusses using feature toggles to help manage merge conflicts and allow for continuous delivery of code changes. It notes that building features nobody wants is a waste of resources. Feature toggles allow code to be deployed without being released, avoiding rollback issues. They also enable options like A/B testing and canary releasing. The document recommends managing feature toggles through configuration files and designing systems to be failure-tolerant using circuit breakers. It suggests architectures like branch by abstraction and strangler patterns to help manage feature toggles. Overall, it advocates taking a lean approach by working in small batches to integrate changes continuously.

Introducing Continuous Delivery practices to a team in trouble can be daunting. Where do you start ? What do you do first ? Which battle do you pick first ? I’ll share my experience of guiding a team to achieve a higher degree of delivery maturity. This is a journey from a troublesome, struggling start of chaotic manual deployments, merge hell, regular production roll backs and lost code, to deliver a single commit to trunk automatically and reliably, under an hour, many times a day.

This document discusses two companies' journeys to continuous delivery of software. The first story describes automating a loan processing platform that now processes close to $4 million in loans with a small team. The second story automated a mobile device management solution for healthcare. The document then outlines the continuous delivery process used, including practices like continuous integration, deployment pipelines and emphasizing delivering business value. Challenges discussed include balancing speed and quality while improving processes through retrospectives.

Continuous delivery for AndroidLeena N

Continuous delivery is a software development discipline where you build software in such a way that the software can be released to production at any time. The idea is to make your software releasable at any moment of time by integrating it continuously and releasing it frequently to get early and frequent feedback. Because of the approval process that exists in the release process of Android apps, Continuous Delivery is not easy for Android apps as compared to web application deployments. And it's also assumed that not much tools are available to enable Continuous Delivery. Yes, its still not instant update to the app, but still things are better than how it has been in the past. This talk gives an overview of tools and techniques that can help us to create a pipeline to get fast and frequent feedback through continuous delivery.

Introduction to continuous deliveryLeena N

Continuous delivery is a software development practice where software can be released to production at any time by building software in a way that enables frequent, automated releases. It involves practices like continuous integration, where code is automatically merged and tested frequently, automated testing and deployment, and using deployment pipelines and tools to streamline the release process. Many large tech companies practice continuous delivery, with some deploying new code in minutes or every 11 seconds to get changes to users quickly.

Merge hells - Feature Toggles to the rescueLeena N

The document discusses how feature toggles can help address "merge hells" that can occur with continuous integration. Feature toggles allow incomplete features to be deployed without being released, avoiding the need to rollback deployments. They enable options like A/B testing, canary releasing, and managing experimental and operations toggles. To manage feature toggles, teams should follow mainline development practices, use feature toggle tools, set expiry dates for toggles, and consider toggles as a first step towards continuous delivery.

Deliver with impactLeena N

This document discusses impact mapping as a technique for delivering projects with impact. It provides an example of impact mapping for an MDM (mobile device management) product. The key steps of impact mapping include: defining goals and who they impact; identifying desired behaviors and how to enable them; establishing metrics to measure impact; and planning milestones to test assumptions. Impact mapping focuses on creating actual behavioral change rather than just shipping software.
