Speaker #1 - Lightning talk by Chris Laughlin

Build and Ship from anywhere

When thinking about development it is easy to imagine a room full of people working on high spec MacBooks using costly enterprise software. Let's start building software from anywhere! The sofa, a local coffee shop, or even the office, by leveraging cloud-based development and deployment products.

Speaker #2 - 30 min talk by Jonathan McDowell

Let's talk about disks

Hard drives (be they spinning rust or flashy SSDs) are never seen as the most exciting of things, but instead are mostly ignored and treated as a black box once reliability and performance concerns have been dealt with. But what actually happens under the hood when you read or writes files from within your application? This talk will cover some low level details about what happens at a software level when your OS talks to your storage, and what cunning tricks can be performed at the storage level to enable things such as RAID, compression and encryption. The intent is to demystify this system layer for the audience.
