Report: Scrum implementation in large projects

Scrum is one of the most common approaches when implementing Agile software development methodologies. He has certain rules and laws that must be respected. On the other hand, as practice shows, it is not always possible to adhere to all the rules. This report will explain how and why it is sometimes necessary to modify the SCRUM mechanisms, using as an example the application of this methodology in development and operational teams when creating software for Swiss banks.

Report: Open Source Benchmarks

The speaker has been working on the topic of micro-optimization for a number of years and is the main maintainer of the open source library BenchmarkDotNet. This library helps people write the “right” benchmarks that measure the running times of specific methods. Benchmarking is a very difficult, but at the same time a very interesting topic, which, unfortunately, not so many programmers understand (and knowing at least the basics is very useful). This report will cover the role of the open source community in shaping the culture of modern .NET benchmarking, and the speaker will show a couple of fun examples in which it is not as easy to assess the speed of several lines of code as it might seem at first glance.








Report: Simple and scalable backends

What is the reason for the complexity of the applications we create? The answer to this philosophical question is trying to get every day experts of the IT-industry, based on knowledge and experience. The best engineering practices and design patterns are designed to help with this. In his speech, the speaker will share the experience of creating backends in complex subject areas and talk about the NuClear River project - opensource-tool for building a Read Model, which can significantly simplify the solution of some business problems.











Report: Review of the Azure Active Directory API security model from personal experience

However, most of the recommendations on the Internet contain extremely harmful advice, which at the superficial glance look “beautiful”, but in fact lead to a significant performance degradation. Using real examples, the speaker will tell about "what is good and what is bad" for the effective operation of the database server.







Report: How did we raise the farm, or the actual experience of test automation on mobile devices

In this report, the speaker will touch on one of the most important and at the same time controversial topics for developers - the topic of testing. And since the last few years his team has been working on the DevExtreme framework for mobile devices, the story will be devoted to testing on various devices. A report on the findings and omissions, defeats and victories, and how, stepping on various favorite rakes, the team still managed to do automated dream testing.
