September's event will be split in to two parts, Andrew Gunn will present on TBC and then Gavin Payne will present on The evolution of artificial intelligence.
Andrew Gunn - TBC
Gavin Payne - The evolution of artificial intelligence
These days, artificial intelligence is always in the news and on technology roadmaps, yet the idea of it is older than modern computing. So why the increased interest in it? Why has it suddenly become the next big thing and how should we expect it to make decision making easier?
This session:
• starts by looking at the history of modern AI, back to when Alan Turing first dreamed of machine
• considers why new data storage and processor hardware technologies are letting it take off
• suggests how it might shape the future of business analytics and the world we live in
Gavin Payne is the head of digital transformation for Coeo, an analytics and data platform consultancy, where he focusses on innovation and providing thought leadership.
September's event will be split in to two parts, Andrew Gunn will present on Identity Crisis and then Gavin Payne will present on The evolution of artificial intelligence.

Andrew Gunn - Identity Crisis
Imagine a scenario where you need to secure a web application. Sounds simple, right? But this web application is one of many bulkheads that sit behind a shared API. This API must have security measures to identify and ensure each authenticated user can only perform certain actions. And these authenticated users must be able to navigate seamlessly between each bulkhead without the need to re-authenticate. Still think it sounds simple?
With the help of Identity Server, it is simple.
I want to take you on a journey to discover why Identity Server is awesome and why you should be (at least considering) using it.

Identity Crisis with Andrew Gunn and Thinking Functionally with John Stovin

John Stovin - Thinking Functionally with .NET
Recent versions of C# have seen the introduction of many features that originated in the functional programming arena - but where did they come from, and where do they lead to? John Stovin will take us on a fascinating journey.
To think and program functionally, you need to reassess many of the thought processes and habits that you have developed for coding in curly bracket languages, and understand a new set of idioms and ways to think about code.
In this session, John will talk about some of those fundamental idioms, explain why they exist and how they interact to provide a very different way to develop software on the .NET stack.
Bio:
John Stovin has been a software developer for longer than he cares to remember. He learned to program on a Commodore PET back in the 1970s.
He lives in the heart of the Peak District and has spent the last 20 years working for various companies in and around Sheffield, working on systems for Marine Navigation, DVD production, and Educational Administration. He also teaches part-time at the Department of Computer Science at The University of Sheffield.
