We want code that fol lows rules yet we refuse to let rules to get in our way. We're deeply at tached to the little rules that help get things done (No trailing whites pace! Indent using two spaces!) and despise the big\, complicated ones t hat impose one-size-fits-all straitjackets on otherwise sane programming problems. \;\n \;\nThis talk proposes 5 'little' rules for writin g object-oriented code. These rules are determinedly simple yet produce code that experts love and novices can be trusted to change\; they fill the space between anarchy and order with practical\, common sense. The r ules guide without impeding\, help without hindering and constrain witho ut binding\, and let you create applications that are easy to change and fun to work their whole life long. \;\n \;\n*This is the 4th even t in a series of free monthly FutureTalks from disruptive Developers\, i nnovative Technologists and world-changing Creatives. Doors open at 5:30 p for food\, drinks and networking.

In contrast\, most organizations struggle to do releases more than every nine months. \;\n \;\nThe authors of the upcoming “DevOps Cookbook” have been studying high performing organi zations since 1999\, and we capture and codify how these high-performing organizations achieve this fast flow of work through Product Management and Development\, through QA and Infosec\, and into IT Operations. By doing so\, other organizations can now replicate the extraordinary cultu re and outcomes enabling their organization to scale and win in the mark etplace. \;\n \;\nThe goal of the DevOps Cookbook is to help accel erate DevOps adoption\, increase the success of DevOps initiatives\, and lower the activation energy required for DevOps transformations to star t and finish. \;\n \;\n*This is the 6th event in a series of free monthly FutureTalks from disruptive Developers\, innovative Technologist s and world-changing Creatives.

These pure and objective taste profiles (we col lect tens of thousands of data points from each bottle of beer and wine) are then coupled with sophisticated machine-learning software and user preference data to create an incredibly accurate recommendation and disc overy engine. Next Glass leverages augmented reality functionality to de liver these highly-accurate wine and beer recommendations to users on th eir mobile devices. \;\n \;\nTrace will explain how each of these elements (science\, machine learning\, and augmented reality) benefit be er and wine consumers and how Next Glass stumbled upon the idea to combi ne them to do so. \;\n \;\n*Doors will open at 5:30p.

This is achieved by organizing events where children can develop com puter games\, program robots and also have an introduction to electronic s. This effort won Duke’s Choice Awards at JavaOne 2013. This session wi ll share how Devoxx4Kids is engaging kids at an early age and teaching t hem computing concepts using Scratch\, Greenfoot\, Minecraft\, Raspberry Pi\, Arduino\, NAO\, Tynker. The session will show a path that can be f ollowed by parents to keep their kids engaged and build\, instead of jus t play games. The attendees will learn best practices to organize simila r workshops in their local setting. Tips on opening a local US chapter a nd how to build attendee base will be shared. \;\n \;\n# Continuou s Integration using Java EE 7 # \;\n \;\nTechniques such as automa ted testing\, continuous integration and continuous deployment allow sof tware to be developed to a high standard and easily packaged and deploye d to test environments\, resulting in the ability to rapidly\, reliably and repeatedly push out enhancements and bug fixes to customers at low r isk and with minimal manual overhead. What container-agnostic tools are available for testing\, continuous integration and deployment of a Java EE 7 application? \;\n \;\nThis talk will provide a quick overview of Arquillian and how it helps in testing across multiple containers. S eparate approaches for greenfield and brownfield applications will be sh own. Configuring Jenkins for Continuous Integration will be shown. Setti ng up multiple WildFly containers on OpenShift for testing and productio n will be shown in detail. At the end of this session\, attendees would have converted their development environment to leverage the power of Je nkins\, Arquillian\, and OpenShift to setup an automated Continuous Deli very pipeline. \;\n \;\n*Doors will open at 5:30\, and the present ation will begin right at 6p.
