The Back of the Napkin: Solving Design Problems (and Selling Your Solutions) with Pictures

Speaker: Dan Roam
Description: Let's face it: describing user experience is hard... unless we use pictures. This session demonstrates step-by-step how anyone, regardless of artistic talent or training, can use simple pictures to describe complex design and technical concepts, solve fuzzy problems, and sell others on breakthrough ideas:

A reading list on Microservices Architecture

When I wanted to dive into and understand Microservices Architecture the following reading list was suggested to me: Life beyond Distributed Transactions:an Apostate’s Opinion by Pat Helland This paper explores and names some of the practical approaches used in the implementations of large-scale mission-critical applications in a world which rejects distributed transactions. It discusses the management of fine-grained pieces of application data which may be repartitioned over time as the application grows. It also discusses the design patterns used in sending messages between these repartitionable pieces of data. Migrating to Microservices by Adrian Cockcroft In this presentation Adrian Cockcroft discusses strategies, patterns and pathways to perform a gradual migration from monolithic applications towards cloud-based REST microservices. Idempotence Is Not a Medical Condition by Pat Helland An essential property for reliable systems. Distributed systems theory for the dis...

A Software Developer's Reading Plan

This list describes the reading program a software developer needs to work through to achieve full professional standing. The plan described is a generic baseline plan for a software professional who wants to focus on development. Introductory Level To move beyond "introductory" level, a developer must read the following books: Adams, James L. Conceptual Blockbusting: A Guide to Better Ideas, 4th ed. Cambridge, MA: Perseus Publishing, 2001. Bentley, Jon. Programming Pearls, 2d ed. Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley, 2000. Glass, Robert L. Facts and Fallacies of software Engineering. Boston, MA: Addison-Wesley, 2003. McConnell, Steve. Software Project Survival Guide. Redmond, WA: Microsoft Press, 1998. McConnell, Steve. Code Complete, 2d ed. Redmond, WA: Microsoft Press, 2004. Practitioner Level To achieve "intermediate" status, a programmer needs to read the following additional materials: Berczuk, Stephen P. and Brad Appleton. Software Configuration Manag...

Straight from the trenches: Engineering experiences with Microservices Architecture

Andrew Harmel-Law interviewed by Maurice Driessen Earlier this month, while working on a proposal which turned out successful, I got the opportunity to have a discussion with Andrew Harmel-Law, around his personal experience with constructing a system based on a Microservices Architecture leveraging a evolutionary approach. It made sense to us to share this experience with all of you software engineers. Focal point of the discussion was how the non-functional characteristics of a Microservices Architecture contribute to the business continuity and agility of his client and helps software engineers to sustain a high quality and complex solution while improving the collaboration with the business. Could you tell me something about your client and how your collaboration with the client evolved? My client is large mail & parcel fulfillment provider in the UK. We build and run an array of their services for them. Initially started with eBussiness, the public facing websites an...
