The document outlines four pains experienced by developers when using traditional .NET development approaches: 1) Reliance on "magic" frameworks that can cause unexpected errors, 2) Builds that fail due to unpredictable dependencies, 3) Long edit-compile-test cycles, and 4) Rapid obsolescence of skills as technologies change. It proposes four guiding principles to address these pains: 1) Using direct queries over ORM "magic", 2) Ensuring predictable, reproducible builds and environments, 3) Shortening feedback loops through techniques like hot reloading, and 4) Focusing on reusable skills rather than specific technologies. The overall message is that prioritizing business needs over technical wizardry and automation can help developers work more efficiently

In graph we trust: Microservices, GraphQL and security challenges - Mohammed A. Imran Microservices, RESTful and API-first architectures are rage these days and rightfully so, they solve some of the challenges of modern application development. Microservices enable organisations in shipping code to production faster and is accomplished by dividing big monolithic applications into smaller but specialised applications. Though they provide great benefits, they are difficult to debug and secure in complex environments (different API versions, multiple API calls and frontend/backend gaps etc.,). GraphQL provides a powerful way to solve some of these challenges but with great power, comes great responsibility. GraphQL reduces the attack surface drastically(thanks to LangSec) but there are still many things which can go wrong. This talk will cover the risks associated with GraphQL, challenges and solutions, which help in implementing Secure GraphQL based APIs. We will start off with introduction to GraphQL and its benefits. We then discuss the difficulty in securing these applications and why traditional security scanners don’t work with them. At last, we will cover solutions which help in securing these API by shifting left in DevOps pipeline. We will cover the following as part of this presentation: GraphQL use cases and how unicorns use them Benefits and security challenges with GraphQL Authentication and Authorisation Resource exhaustion Backend complexities with microservices Need for tweaking conventional DevSecOps tools for security assurance Security solutions which works with GraphQL
This document contains tips for effective Android development. It discusses tools like Android Studio, techniques for testing on emulators and devices, improving app performance, developing in an efficient environment, and optimizing the Gradle build process. Specific tips include using two Android Studio instances for code reviews, testing on different OS versions, measuring execution times, checking the frame rate, using annotations and Stetho for inspection, and building faster by targeting API 21 for debug builds.
The best reason for writing tests is to automate your testing. Without tests, you'll likely be testing manually. This manual testing will take longer and longer as your codebase grows. In this session, you’ll learn how to test an Angular 2 application. You'll learn how to use Jasmine to unit test components and Protractor for integration testing. We’ll also take a look at code coverage options and explore continuous integration tools.
Fixing Security by Fixing Software Development Using Continuous Deployment Do you have an effective release cycle? Is your process long and archaic? Long release cycle are typically based on assumptions we haven't seen since the 1980s and require very mature organizations to implement successfully. They can also disenfranchise developers from caring or even knowing about security or operational issues. Attend this session to learn more about an alternative approach to managing deployments through Continuous Deployment, otherwise known as Continuous Delivery. Find out how small, but frequent changes to the production environment can transform an organization’s development process to truly integrate security. Learn how to get started with continuous deployment and what tools and process are needed to make implementation within your organization a (security) success.

This document introduces Sam Guckenheimer and Ed Blankenship and discusses Microsoft's goal of creating a single engineering system (1ES). The purpose is to enable any developer to access and reuse source code across the company, get rewarded for creating popular components, and have changes instantly visible. In practice, this means scaling Git for enterprise use, promoting a live site culture, and creating a common telemetry pipeline to measure usage and engineering metrics. The goal is to have self-forming teams and determine if 1ES is achieving its goals like supporting 4x user growth.
One of the largest issues in API architecture development is that the task is often driven by the pragmatic indoctrination of a specification into a product rather than designing around the speed and ease of development, usually due to a separation between the engineering teams and their core developer user base. Extending upon the ideas of API design around developer accelerated development delivered in the PayPal keynote, we will take a deeper look into some of the great techniques delivered to us through the RESTful specification, applying them to developer API consumption practices with the intention of creating efficient best practices for rapid development. Within this talk we will explore what we have learned through reconstructing our API backbone at PayPal for our developer community, including: - API automation practices for code reduction and application longevity - Open security standards that promote developer integration ease and maintain strict security practices - RESTful API architecture best practices for developer centric accelerated development
This document summarizes Josh Cypher's presentation on continuous testing with React Storybook and WebdriverIO. It discusses using Storybook for UI development and testing React components in isolation. WebdriverIO is recommended for end-to-end acceptance testing through a real browser. A testing pyramid is presented with unit tests at the bottom and end-to-end tests at the top. Continuous testing should happen at all stages of development through unit, component, snapshot, and acceptance tests to catch errors early and reduce risks.

This document discusses strategies for modernizing front-end codebases in an incremental way. It suggests starting with basic modularization by splitting code into logical chunks, then concatenating and minifying modules. Next steps include loading modules on demand using various module systems. Graceful deprecation is recommended over breaking changes. The document also advocates trying new frameworks on side projects first before adopting one. Maintaining good development practices like testing, linting, code style rules and performance testing is emphasized over choosing any particular framework.
This document discusses strategies for modernizing front-end codebases in an incremental way. It recommends starting with basic modularization by splitting code into logical chunks, then concatenating and minifying files. Next steps include loading modules on demand using various module systems. Graceful deprecation is advised by keeping deprecated code available temporarily while logging its usage. Framework choices should be informed by building prototypes in different options. Overall modernization should prioritize tools like testing, linting and performance testing over choosing specific frameworks. Changes should be made gradually to avoid diverging from existing workflows.
