Accessibility
I will present 10 tests that can be performed quickly to measure the accessibility of a web page. If you are a developer, you can fix before posting live. If you are a project manager or a client, you can ensure the level of accessibility without advanced coding knowledge. Bring a laptop (FireFox with Wave and Web Developer toolbars) and follow the steps to test your web page during the presentation.
Architecture & design patterns
Those first moments of using an API are pivotal. There’s nothing like downloading this week’s PDF of the documentation, setting up a SOAP client, reconfiguring all your URLs, and decoding the latest binary payloads. It makes your heart sing and your blood pressure rise.
Just like there are code smells through the rest of your project, there are API smells that make them hard to design, hard to launch, and hard to maintain.

.NETQuality assurance
Les tests unitaires font maintenant parti de nos pratiques courantes de développement. Par contre, ils sont encore trop souvent considérés comme du code de second ordre, écrit rapidement après le développement. Dans cette présentation je vais montrer quelques astuces pour que vos tests soient faciles à comprendre, rapides, indépendants et ne testent qu'une seule chose. Les démonstrations sont en C# mais applicables avec d'autres langages.
MobileQuality assurance
Mobile testing is getting harder: more devices, multiple operating systems, higher quality expectations and shorter development cycles. Much of mobile app testing is manual and moving to automation is a requirement. But where do you start? Do you know who is the typical user and how the app is used? How do you know which devices to test? How do you measure app performance? Come learn a 7-step process and the tools to improve the testing process.
Databases
What do you do when your requirements say you need to be able to reproduce the exact same results that a query did sometime in the past? Including to be able to reproduce incorrect statistics on data that has since been corrected? And being able to reproduce exactly which rows were returned by a query in the past? Without large changes to the app?
Well, you do like any time lord would do - break out the TARDIS. Or maybe just use PostgreSQL..

Quality assurance
Projects fail because they don’t test. Some fail because they test the wrong things. Others fail because they test too much. In this session, an enterprise consultant turned startup entrepreneur will share project case studies in testing atrocities and what can be learned from them. You’ll come away questioning your own testing. Check your dogma and let’s build better software.
DevOpsJava & JVM languages
Work takes time to flow through an organization and ultimately be deployed to production where it captures value. It’s critical to reduce time-to-production.
But velocity, for velocity’s sake, is dangerous. Microservices invite architectural complexity that few are prepared to address. In this talk, we’ll look at how high performance organizations make short work of that complexity with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

In this talk, I will walk through some practical examples of using Python's superb data processing capabilities to churn through datasets, and use D3 in your presentation layer to display interactive, beautiful infographics.
Ruby
Rather than manually maintaining model fields and attributes for Rails, I prefer to describe them in a single YAML file, and let Rake tasks take care of building migrations and such. This may not be for everyone, but I'm a *big* fan of letting the computers do all that they can (instead of me) -- having everything defined in a data format supports greater automation for testing, _etc._ Edit one file and let the computers do the rest. Here's how.
Architecture & design patternsDatabases
There are lots of considerations you should take into account when designing the database architecture of a Software as a Service (SaaS) product. Scalability, Geography, Security, Ease of Implementation and Deployment, Performance, and Data Retention are all factors to consider.
