Qa além da automação
Qa além da automaçãoJosenildo Amorim Muito tem se falado hoje em dia sobre automação e testes em diversas camadas para aumentar a qualidade do produto. Isso tudo é muito importante, porém o papel do QA se resume a criar testes? Como podemos auxiliar realmente a criar produtos? A ideia desse talk é demonstrar e contar cases de como o QA pode auxiliar ao time como uma figura de negócio, construindo a qualidade juntamente com a concepção do produto.

SFScon 2020 - Riccardo Magliocchetti - Avoiding spelling mistakes a WebAssemb...South Tyrol Free Software Conference Everyone hates typos and fortunately spelling correction algorithms were invented! Last year I worked on a project bringing spell checking to a Django web application. The problem with spell checking is that it tends to be CPU intensive and it’s not what you want to run on your synchronous Django workers. Fortunately Rust and WebAssembly, a new binary instruction format for the Web, came to the rescue!
In this talk we’ll see:
– what is WebAssembly
– what is Rust
– how you can integrate WebAssembly in your project
Starting with JavaScript
Starting with JavaScriptDori Smith JavaScript can be used everywhere including web clients and applications. It is easy to start with JavaScript as there are many plug-and-play solutions available and you don't need to be a programmer. JavaScript is also easy to learn as the code is uncompiled and can be viewed directly, and there are many online resources and books available. The basic concepts of JavaScript like objects and conditionals are standard. To get started with JavaScript, all you need is a browser and text editor. Some gotchas to be aware of include differences across browsers, outdated examples, and reinventing solutions that frameworks provide.
Fixing web and JS gaps
Fixing web and JS gapsChristian Heilmann The document discusses strategies for responsibly using JavaScript. It recommends:
1. Learning JavaScript fundamentals directly rather than relying on copying code.
2. Stop supporting outdated browsers like Internet Explorer and instead focus on modern standards.
3. Avoid browser detection and stop introducing non-standard code that breaks websites.
4. Leverage powerful developer tools and modern frameworks rather than workarounds.
5. Evolve use of JavaScript by adopting modern standards like ES2015 using compilers rather than blaming language shortcomings.
Five ways to be a happier JavaScript developer
Five ways to be a happier JavaScript developerChristian Heilmann The document provides five ways for JavaScript developers to be happier:
1) Concentrate on the present and focus on creating rather than worrying about the past or future.
2) Limit distractions by streamlining your development environment and using an editor like VS Code that consolidates features.
3) Make mistakes less likely by using linters to catch errors as you code.
4) Get to know your tools better like debuggers to avoid console.log and gain insights to build better solutions.
5) Give back to others in the community by being helpful rather than causing drama.
What it Takes to Become a Rails Developer
What it Takes to Become a Rails DeveloperJoshua Plicque Let’s be honest. Rails is hard. Many people have begun the Rails journey, to fall short of developing anything outside of a tutorial.
The bright side is that Rails starts to become your best friend, your swiss-army knife of web solutions, when you get past the initial hurdle of your first production application.
What separates those that make the cut from the wannabes? Get some insight into harnessing the Rails beast.
NodeConfLondon - Making ES6 happen with ChakraCore and Node
NodeConfLondon - Making ES6 happen with ChakraCore and NodeChristian Heilmann The document discusses the history and future of JavaScript and Node.js. It covers the promises and problems of JavaScript, how Node.js helped address some issues but created new ones like monoculture. It then discusses how ES6 and the ChakraCore engine can help modernize JavaScript and break the Node monoculture by providing an additional engine option. The author hopes for less drama, embracing change, simplicity, inclusiveness, and prioritizing users over developers.
All the small things… - Awwwards 2016
All the small things… - Awwwards 2016Christian Heilmann Chris Heilmann gave a talk celebrating beautiful web sites but noted that many sites could be more optimized. He highlighted that the average site is over 2 MB in size, with images making up over 1 MB of that. Many sites use unnecessary libraries, send high resolution images to all devices, and include autoplay videos without checking connection speed. However, newer browser capabilities like Flexbox, Service Workers, and camera/microphone access provide opportunities. Sites should cut unnecessary code, optimize images, and leverage new technologies to create accessible experiences for all types of users on today's capable browsers.

Accessible Javascript using Frameworks - Barcamp London 5Dirk Ginader This document discusses making JavaScript accessible. It emphasizes that accessibility starts with accessible markup and ensuring the page works without JavaScript. JavaScript should enhance usability and accessibility, not reduce it. Frameworks can help by unifying APIs, providing ready components, and extensive testing for stability, usability and accessibility including with screen readers. The document provides examples of accessible JavaScript implementations and frameworks.

רועי פלד
רועי פלדNetcraft The document discusses the challenges of keeping up with the rapidly changing front-end development landscape. It notes that every 3 years, the ecosystem changes completely. This can lead developers to feel pressure to adopt every new technology or feel inadequate if they cannot. However, the document argues that developers should focus on learning methodologies deeply rather than trying to learn every new technology. It also advises using the developer community to expand knowledge, not feel inadequate, and choosing technologies carefully rather than adopting everything new.

Progressing JavaScript and Apps the Web way… Christian Heilmann This document discusses progressing web development and applications. It talks about some common criticisms of the web, including that browsers differ too much and the web is too flexible. However, it argues that browser differences allow for innovation and flexibility is one of the web's strengths. It promotes an approach of focusing on capabilities rather than browsers. The document also discusses progressing technologies like service workers and progressive web apps that can make applications work offline and feel more like native apps while still being web-based. It concludes by arguing the web is not going away and is a great platform to build upon.

New Rules of The Responsive Web
New Rules of The Responsive WebMatt Carver This document discusses 6 rules for responsive web design:
1. Responsive design doesn't end with squishy layouts - optimize based on user capabilities rather than just screen size.
2. There is no responsive pixie dust - streamline workflows and use rapid prototypes and style tiles to communicate fluid layouts.
3. Your workflow will change - iterate designs quickly through prototypes rather than big reveals.
4. Your tools will change - leverage preprocessors like SASS and frameworks like Foundation for responsive coding.
5. The web is responsive by default - prioritize content and build APIs to support multiple platforms.
6. Embrace unpredictability - acknowledge the constraints of different devices

Envato Dev Ops - Alt.Net MelbourneJohn Barton A team of 8 developers at Envato deploy their Ruby on Rails application multiple times per day without an operations team. The application handles around 20 million requests per week and has scaled up significantly since starting with one marketplace in 2006. To achieve this, Envato focuses on automating infrastructure, empowering developers to handle operations tasks, and maintaining a "dev ops" culture where everyone takes responsibility for the application from development to production.

Production is a bitch
Production is a bitchJohn Barton The document discusses challenges with software deployments and provides advice for improving deployments. It notes that deployments can go well or poorly, with good deployments relying on developing with the right mindset and technique. The mindset of always expecting problems is important to avoid being surprised. Code should fail loudly and fast to catch issues early. Metrics like response times should be monitored to identify scaling problems.
Lean Manufacturing and Thought Experiments
Lean Manufacturing and Thought ExperimentsJohn Barton This document introduces lean manufacturing principles from the automotive industry and discusses how those principles can be applied to other types of organizations beyond manufacturing. It argues that software companies are "decision factories" rather than code factories, and that the education system could be viewed as a "revelation factory" aimed at revealing things to students in better ways with fewer resources. The overall message is that lean principles of eliminating waste can be useful across different domains by focusing on what creates value for customers in each case.

How analogue intelligence complements AI
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?

Hybridize Functions: A Tool for Automatically Refactoring Imperative Deep Lea...Raffi Khatchadourian Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code—supporting symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged but at the expense of run-time performance. Though hybrid approaches aim for the “best of both worlds,” using them effectively requires subtle considerations to make code amenable to safe, accurate, and efficient graph execution—avoiding performance bottlenecks and semantically inequivalent results. We discuss the engineering aspects of a refactoring tool that automatically determines when it is safe and potentially advantageous to migrate imperative DL code to graph execution and vice-versa.

Enterprise Integration Is Dead! Long Live AI-Driven Integration with Apache C...
Enterprise Integration Is Dead! Long Live AI-Driven Integration with Apache C...Markus Eisele We keep hearing that “integration” is old news, with modern architectures and platforms promising frictionless connectivity. So, is enterprise integration really dead? Not exactly! In this session, we’ll talk about how AI-infused applications and tool-calling agents are redefining the concept of integration, especially when combined with the power of Apache Camel.
We will discuss the the role of enterprise integration in an era where Large Language Models (LLMs) and agent-driven automation can interpret business needs, handle routing, and invoke Camel endpoints with minimal developer intervention. You will see how these AI-enabled systems help weave business data, applications, and services together giving us flexibility and freeing us from hardcoding boilerplate of integration flows.
You’ll walk away with:
An updated perspective on the future of “integration” in a world driven by AI, LLMs, and intelligent agents.
Real-world examples of how tool-calling functionality can transform Camel routes into dynamic, adaptive workflows.
Code examples how to merge AI capabilities with Apache Camel to deliver flexible, event-driven architectures at scale.
Roadmap strategies for integrating LLM-powered agents into your enterprise, orchestrating services that previously demanded complex, rigid solutions.
Join us to see why rumours of integration’s relevancy have been greatly exaggerated—and see first hand how Camel, powered by AI, is quietly reinventing how we connect the enterprise.

Challenges in Migrating Imperative Deep Learning Programs to Graph Execution:...Raffi Khatchadourian Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code that supports symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development tends to produce DL code that is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, less error-prone imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged at the expense of run-time performance. While hybrid approaches aim for the "best of both worlds," the challenges in applying them in the real world are largely unknown. We conduct a data-driven analysis of challenges---and resultant bugs---involved in writing reliable yet performant imperative DL code by studying 250 open-source projects, consisting of 19.7 MLOC, along with 470 and 446 manually examined code patches and bug reports, respectively. The results indicate that hybridization: (i) is prone to API misuse, (ii) can result in performance degradation---the opposite of its intention, and (iii) has limited application due to execution mode incompatibility. We put forth several recommendations, best practices, and anti-patterns for effectively hybridizing imperative DL code, potentially benefiting DL practitioners, API designers, tool developers, and educators.
