EventStorming Master Class (London Edition) by Alberto Brandolini, inventor of EventStorming
Description changed:
EventStorming is a workshop format invented by Alberto Brandolini that promotes collaboration between different disciplines in order to solve business problems in the most effective way.
Course abstract
EventStorming is a workshop format that enables massive learning on complex business domains and promotes collaboration between different disciplines and across teams.
A visually effective problem-solving technique that puts everyone on the same page, EventStorming was greatly defined by Dan North: "In any EventStorming session of all different kinds, everyone knows what everyone else knows".
Target Audience
EventStorming is interdisciplinary. The specialistic notation is dropped in favor of an incremental lo-fi approach that allows an inclusive approach while driving the exploration towards the most sensitive areas. Every participant will actively contribute.
What will you learn
In this two-day workshop, we’ll practice three different flavors (Big Picture, Process Modelling and Software Design), applied to real-world business problems.
We’ll take into account the different perspectives (including the facilitator) in a process that spans large-scale discovery, to leverage collaborative design.
We’ll experience the how, and we’ll discuss the why.
WHY DOES SERVERLESS ARCHITECTURE MATTER FOR ENTERPRISE?
Description changed:
Serverless architecture will provide a myriad of commercial and technical benefits and opportunities for enterprise and represents a revolutionary approach to the development of new software initiatives and applications.
But what is serverless architecture and why does it matter in terms of enterprise scalability and cost control? Serverless architecture will enable enterprise to rapidly shift away from legacy technology systems and infrastructure. In the modern digital age, all enterprises are ‘technology companies’ and serverless architecture will provide a fast and effective way to redefine how IT services are developed and deployed.
Join us for the Waracle Meetup on January 29th 2020 – for top talks and amazing insights, expert advice and real-world examples of how serverless architecture is disrupting the status quo, and breathing new life into old methods. Take a dive into the future of enterprise and learn how serverless architecture is enabling big business to overcome the challenges of dealing with legacy technology and infrastructure. If you’re serious about powering your enterprise through digital innovation then this meetup is for you.
It may not make the headlines, but Brexit’s impact on UK life online will be a gamechanger. Join us for a night with Open Rights Group to discuss how leaving the European Union will affect how UK residents experience the Internet.
Speakers
Javier Ruiz, Policy Director at Open Rights Group
Javier will explain how post-Brexit international trade deals with the United States and other countries could impact UK rights online. Trade agreements increasingly include clauses to promote digital trade, which unfortunately tend to translate into weakening the protection of the personal data of ordinary people and increasing the protections on the algorithms and trade secrets of businesses. Entering these agreements will put the UK in a difficult position as it strives to maintain the current arrangements for data flows with the EU.
Duncan McCann, Senior Researcher at New Economics Foundation
Duncan will speak on the potential impacts to the digital economy as well as potential trade offs of the UK needing to urgently sign trade agreements with the US and the EU. The UK needs to sign deals fast to demonstrate that the UK is open for business in a post Brexit environment. However this will only be achievable if some or all of the US and EU demands are conceded on, in areas such as food security, access to the NHS or data protection. We will explore some of the ways forward. Duncan will also highlight briefly some of the wider impacts of the digital trade chapters beyond digital privacy.
Mike Morel, Campaigns Manager at Open Rights Group
Mike will provide an overview of EU laws and institutions that currently influence UK rights to free speech online and digital privacy. Find out which protections will disappear, which will remain, and what could happen in a no-deal scenario.
We want to start 2020 with a high level talk, for those who need high availability with MySQL, using purely open source tools.
Matthias is a well known, highly experienced database consultant. Some of you already met him. The event is sponsored by Pythian.
AGENDA
========
* 18:00 - Arrival and networking
* 18:20 - Pizza & Drinks, kindly offered by Pythian
* 18:30 - Intro by Federico Razzoli
* 18:40 - "How to combine ProxySQL and Orchestrator to eliminate single-points-of-failure in your MySQL HA cluster", by Matthias Crauwels, Lead Database Consultant @ Pythian
Afterwards we'll move to a nearby pub.
ABSTRACT
==========
How to combine ProxySQL and Orchestrator to eliminate single-points-of-failure in your MySQL HA cluster
In this session we will be considering a standard asynchronous MySQL replication technology. We'll go and analyse how we can eliminate single points of failure in the technology stack and how we can avoid network partitioning issues. We will use Orchestrator to help us achieve master high availability and we will use ProxySQL to redirect application traffic to the appropriate MySQL servers.
I will show how we can make each component on its own highly available, how we can prepare for a full datacenter outage and even up to a full scale regional outage when leveraging a public cloud provider.

Join us in Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub for friendly Christmas social beers and chit chat on the subject of OpenStreetMap (contributing/using experienced/beginners, whatever interests you in and around OpenStreetMap!)
Sign up here! ...if you like. Not everyone bothers signing up. It is just a pub after all. You can expect between 5 and 10 people attending.
Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese is down an alleyway off Fleet Street (here on the map). Between Chancery Lane. St Paul's & Blackfriars. We will be downstairs, possibly deep downstairs. This pub has more seating the deeper down you go, so chances are we may be level=-3!
Whether you're a mapper, map user, or just curious, come join us! If you think you may have trouble recognising anyone, turn up at 7:30 (when the group will be more assembled), and look out for maps or OpenStreetMap hi-viz vests or polo shirts. You could also take Harry's number: O7979815O13 ...although we may be deep downstairs!
On Wednesday 16th October we'll have an OpenStreetMap pub meet-up at the Blue Posts Pub, Newman St, from 6:30pm. Join us for friendly social beers and chit chat on the subject of OpenStreetMap (contributing/using experienced/beginners, whatever interests you in and around OpenStreetMap!)
Important notes for finding us:
- There are several pubs called Blue Posts! We're at the one on Newman St. It's near Tottenham Court Road tube. ( here on the map: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.51699&mlon=-0.13546#map=19/51.51699/-0.13546 ).
- Blue posts has an *upstairs* area which is quite well hidden, but it's quite likely we'll get a table upstairs.
Sign up here! ...if you like. Not everyone bothers signing up. It is just a pub after all. You can expect between 5 and 10 people attending.
Join us in London for a special election season event about disinformation and manipulation in political campaigning.
First up, we’re got a FREE screening of the Netflix documentary The Great Hack, which uncovers the dark world of data exploitation through the journeys of players from the explosive Cambridge Analytica/Facebook data scandal.
After the film, we’ll show you how to submit a subject access request (SAR) to UK political parties so you can find out exactly what personal data they are holding on you.
To complete a (SAR), you’ll need to bring a laptop or phone and a photo ID that proves your identity and lists your current voting address. A driving licence will suffice if the address is your current voting address. If the address is outdated, you'll need to add a second document with your current voting address. This could be a utility bill, council tax bill or a bank statement from the last 3 months.
We’ll supply refreshments!

Refactoring into Chain of Responsibility Workshop
Poker Hands are put into sequential order and the player who holds the highest one wins. Let’s make fun of it then and perform some refactorings of code that identifies what poker figure a given player holds. We will transform a set of nested if-else statements into a nice chain of responsibility classes (Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, etc). This way the chain of classes put into sequential order will figure out the score a given player holds. All we can promise during this refactoring workshop is definitely no bluffing - just pure focus on code transformations.
BTW: Did you know that real poker players are very rarely bluffing?
We will use Java 1.8 and IntelliJ IDE tool during the workshop. You do not need an IntelliJ ‘s licence as the Community Edition is enough.
Become acquainted with poker rules if you haven’t played it so far, because business perspective and understanding existing code is the initial step for any refactoring.
Here are the sources to install in order to perform the live-refactoring: https://github.com/wlodekkr/chain-of-responsibility
The goal of the workshop is to practice refactoring techniques and experience increasing code quality and readability.

Włodek Krakowski is an independent technical trainer specializing in maintaining code quality through refactoring. His main interest is taking care of delivering valued software from different perspectives. He writes a blog at www.refactoring.pl.

Keep Calm and Fasten Your Seatbelt
Modern web development has many challenges and of those, security is both very important and often under-emphasised. Many of today’s data security professionals are beginning to recognise that unprotected web applications have become attractive targets for cybercriminals looking for easy entry points into their networks. It’s time to get serious about Web App Security
Effectively Testing React Applications
Over the last couple of years testing our apps became standard practice in the industry. Textbooks and research papers state clear benefits and how it can impact business success in the long term sustainability of a product, what they don't tell you is that ineffective testing can have a bigger negative impact on the code maintainability and product stability than no tests at all.
In this talk, we will be looking at some of the practices, tools, and approaches seen in the wild for testing react apps, we will be looking at what worked well and what didn't and how we can do better with code snippets and a small live coding session.

The London Java Community (LJC) hosts a 'unconference' every year that allows developers to come together for a full day of discussions, sharing experiences, learning and spending time with our peers in the industry. This is the 12th unconference we've hosted and it's most certainly the premier event of our user group. This year we're sculpting the event on JCrete®, arguably the best Java unconference in the world.
What is an Unconference?
An unconference is a loosely structured, participant-driven meeting. It does not follow the traditional conference program structure. You decide what you want to talk about and which topics you want to discuss. The unconference starts with an empty schedule. No topics are mandated, no separations are made between “speakers” and “audience”. All participants work out a schedule by suggesting, planning, holding and evaluating sessions, collaboratively.

Project Valhalla Workshop
Project Valhalla is one of the most exciting incoming change for Java. It will bring "Inline Types" (previously known as Type Classes) to the language, Immutable "memory flatten" object that promise to replace primitive types without performance loss and introduce reified generics.
Oracle released the preview called LW2 which give us a quite stable platform to start exploring the new type model on our projects.
There will be a (short) presentation of Valhalla features and current issues.
Then the workshop will start. We will be around to help.
- Bring your notebook with IDE configured
- Download Valhalla from the link below and install it
- Try to use it in a project of your choice. Don't worry if you don't have a project, we will share some examples on Github.

ElasticSearch Inverted Index Lightning Talk
Don’t keep it to yourself - openness and honesty in the workplace
You must have sat in a meeting, listening to someone talk about the next great innovation and how it will revolutionise the way things are done. They’ve discovered the idea, approach, or improvement, that will take the business to the next level and they’re enthusiastically extolling its virtues. However, you’ve seen the flaw in their plan … and you said nothing. You sat there silently, letting them carry on and didn’t make a sound. Why?
There are many reasons why we don’t speak up in situations like this and we'll look at why we don't speak up and the consequences of not doing so.
How to use Apache Kafka and Grafana to visualise business process decisions running on the cloud!
Modern business relies on rapid feedback of data and an ability to easily process that data in order to make good business decisions. In this scenario we look at how a government department distributes grants to farmers ensuring that they have the resources that they need to feed a growing population.
Apache Kafka and Grafana you can have a visual representation of the impact of your business process and help to take these decisions across your organisation, be it different silos, applications, regions or more. Apache Kafka helps getting the information across multiple services and locations. This stream of information would then be captured by InfluxDB, which will help organising the collected metrics and then present these using Grafana.

Project Valhalla Workshop
Project Valhalla is one of the most exciting incoming change for Java. It will bring "Inline Types" (previously known as Type Classes) to the language, Immutable "memory flatten" object that promise to replace primitive types without performance loss and introduce reified generics.
Oracle released the preview called LW2 which give us a quite stable platform to start exploring the new type model on our projects.
There will be a (short) presentation of Valhalla features and current issues.
Then the workshop will start. We will be around to help.
- Bring your notebook with IDE configured
- Download Valhalla from the link below and install it
- Try to use it in a project of your choice. Don't worry if you don't have a project, we will share some examples on Github.

An introduction to FINOS and how we help you contribute to Fintech Open Source
James McLeod will give an introduction to FINOS - Fintech Open Source Foundation. Learn more about what they are focusing on, how they can help you contribute to Fintech Open Source and where you might want to get involved.
Why we choose React for a Large Scale Financial Trading Platform
In this talk, Keith Bloom will illustrate why React is increasingly being leveraged to build zero-failure trading platforms, for the biggest investment banks and financial institutions in the world. We'll start from altitude, looking across multiple teams spanning hundreds of developers - we'll talk about how React's simple APIs and no-hassle frameworks specifically accelerates development for the biggest trading platforms. We'll then zoom in gradually all the way through to the experience of an individual developer, all while illustrating the points throughout with hard-core technical examples.
About the Speaker
James McLeod is Director of Community at FINOS and wholeheartedly believes the transformation of Financial Services can only be fulfilled if Open Source is embraced under the three pillars of Contribution, Consumption and Community. James also founded “React London - Bring Your Own Project”, a London based meetup with over 1500 ReactJS members.
You can email James at james@finos.org to find out how you can contribute to the amazing work of the Fintech Open Source Foundation (FINOS).

Brainstorming a Clean, Pragmatic Architecture
Part 1: In the mood for a closing brainstorm? Let’s have a critical review of the major decisions taken in a typical enterprise application architecture and learn to balance pragmatism with design goals. Find out how to do just-in-time design to keep as many use-cases as simple as possible (KISS).
We’ve all seen that without continuous refactoring simplistic design eventually degenerates into a Big Ball of Mud, under the assault of new features and bugfixes. At the other end, over-engineered code can burden the start-up of the development and then end up freezing the code in some rigid ‘a-priori’ design. It’s up to us to strike a balance that will preserve Developer Happiness™. To do that, we should regularly challenge the architecture of our system and seek ways to simplify it to fit our present needs, with a pragmatic mindset.
“Architecture is the art of postponing decisions”, said Uncle Bob. This session takes this idea further and explains how to Evolve a Pragmatic, Clean Architecture (aka Onion), guiding the design by what Genetic Programming would call a fitness function. It’s the philosophy Victor applied to design and develop 9 applications for IBM, and a key topic of the trainings he delivered at dozens of companies.
Along the way, you’ll also get a nice review of the fundamental data structure types, how to keep the logic simple by two types of extractions, enforcing boundaries using dependency directions, and crafting a testable design, all in a fun, dynamic and interactive session.
Part 2: Your selection.
During the break, the participants will vote what they want to discuss during the second part of the meetup, as much as will fit in the remaining time. The options will be extracts of the most interesting snippets from Victor's training curricula (http://www.victorrentea.ro/#training), composed of slides and live-coding in Java. The options will include: jdk8, Mocking, TDD kata, Spring @Transactional.
Speaker Bio
Victor Rentea is one of the top Independent Trainers in Romania, having trained by now 1200+ developers in 30+ companies. He is Lead Architect at IBM, where he practices Pair Programming, Clean Code and Refactoring every day. For the community, he organized the largest 3 Bucharest Java User Group meetups in history, and last year he founded the Bucharest Software Craftsmanship Community in which he runs free webinars about clean code, refactoring and TDD.
As a speaker, Victor is now regularly invited at the top international conferences: his live-coding sessions are insane, lightning-fast but well crafted, full of enthusiasm, deep insights and take-away tips. To learn more about/from him, follow his daily thoughts on LinkedIN, Facebook or Twitter, or check out http://victorrentea.ro.

Real-time discovery with Stream Processing
How do you understand what your fintech customers are doing while they are doing it? With the volumes of data growing exponentially, how do you obtain real-time insights with huge amounts of data arriving continuously? What about creating analytics and visualisations to help you understand your business even more?
Traditional systems store all of the data and then process it, having to traverse the data every time a change is made. Today’s leading organisations need real-time analytics to give them competitive advantage.

Why we choose React for a Large Scale Financial Trading Platform
In this talk, Keith Bloom will illustrate why React is increasingly being leveraged to build zero-failure trading platforms, for the biggest investment banks and financial institutions in the world. We'll start from altitude, looking across multiple teams spanning hundreds of developers - we'll talk about how React's simple APIs and no-hassle frameworks specifically accelerates development for the biggest trading platforms. We'll then zoom in gradually all the way through to the experience of an individual developer, all while illustrating the points throughout with hard-core technical examples.
About the Speaker
Keith Bloom is a lead developer at Adaptive Financial Consulting with over 20 years’ experience of creating zero-failure software for the financial industry, using the most cutting-edge technologies and approaches.
