From Justin:
“Containerization analysis. Fundamentals to potentially proceed in a containerized/hybrid virtualization world. Rapid review of Docker offerings, Docker Swarm vs. Kubernetes for container orchestration battles. Looking at the containerization life cycle model. OpenShift by RedHat and its impact towards building upon the Docker Engine core runtime/Kubnernetes container orchestration architecture. A brief, but very much in-rhythm technical container analytics talk!”
From Abdul:
In order to determine that the application Software Developers develop are fast and reliable, an Application Performance Monitoring tool is required. Dynatrace is a widely accepted and recognized leader in Application Performance Management tool within the software industry. Dynatrace has 8000+ global customers and trusted by Fortune 100 companies. Dynatrace has a full technology stack support (Java, .Net, Tomcat, JBoss, JavaScript, AngularJS, Node.js, LINUX/UNIX, Windows, AWS, MySQL, Oracle DB, PostgreSQL, etc). The technology stack supported can be found on their website: https://www.dynatrace.com/technologies/
The heart of Dynatrace is its PurePath Technology which allows technologists to trace every single end to end transaction (web request, user interaction, batch jobs, network and infrastructure activities, database transactions, etc) . Technologists can drill down into each component and determine exactly where the bottlenecks there are in the application and optimize it.
Listen to Amit Deshpande, InRhythm UX Lead, deliver a great talk on how developers and designers can work better together using a Sketch plugin called Measure.
From Amit:
Sketch has now become one of the “go-to” tools for any design team. Any design team I talk to knows about or is using Sketch in various capacities.
Sketch has a large and growing developer community that constantly creates fantastic set of plugins which make sketch even better. With an array of sketch plugin, users can create wireframes to clickable prototypes in a jiffy.
Measure is one of the plugins that has gained traction. This tool allows designers to import visual design into design specifications seamlessly. The spec is an HTML file that can be sent to developers as an attachment. The developers can open it and view the spec as a web spec. Clicking on each/every element in the HTML spec gives engineers pixel perfect designs with detailed HEX values for each color on the screen.
The plugin can be download via a GitHub link: https://github.com/utom/sketch-measure and used in Sketch.
Listen to Gladys Um – Awesome InRhythm Engineer, deliver a fascinating yet truly useful talk on exactly ‘HOW’ we should talk about Math.
From Gladys:
“In ‘How to Talk About Math’, I argued that the way to make math more accessible to general audiences is to present the big picture, build intuition, use precise language, and use simple but realistic examples to illustrate concepts. I put these principles into action by talking about group theory, a beautiful branch of mathematics that reveals the ‘isomorphism’ – or equivalence – between seemingly disparate things such as movements of triangles and permutations of arrays.”
Listen to Ian Shuff – expert InRhythm engineer & “knower of many things”, deliver a rare but brilliant talk on Lisp, why he loves it – and why you will too!
From Ian:
“In this talk, I give a brief introduction to the Common Lisp. Starting off with a discussion of it’s somewhat abstruse syntax and interesting structural choices, I move onto explaining the reasons the language looks the way it does and why Lisp is worth learning, even now.”
