  • From dev to prod with GitLab CI

    Continuous Delivery Pipeline as code is key in helping you to ensure long term maintainability. Treating your pipeline as code helps you to version it in your SCM of choice, makes changes easily traceable and lets anyone on your team make required changes. In this session, I will show you how we build and maintain our Continuous Delivery Pipeline using tools like GitLab CI, Docker, Nexus and Traefik. Together we will take a deep dive into the GitLab CI Build Pipelines to build and deploy docker containers to dev, stage and production environments.

  • Package Agnostic Architecture with ExtJS

    This was a 2 hr workshop in which we had a look at how to design an ExtJS application with keeping a modular architecture in mind. We’ll be using the (custom) packages-concept of ExtJS and implement a pluggable application which allows for dynamically adding and removing packages with a single line of code. Target Audience: Programmers that have already used Sencha ExtJS and are looking for alternative ways to add/remove modules to/from their software.
    The number of seats are limited.

  • Reactive Programming / RxJS

    Web applications have to deal with many uncertainties and asynchronous events – users cancelling operations, network connections going offline, new data coming in etc… Reactive programming is a way to build maintainable, robust and responsive systems under such conditions. I will present an introduction to the basic concepts and show how typical frontend problems can be solved with RxJS.

  • Dynamic package loading and routing with Ext JS

    To structure your code and make it reusable you can use packages. To increase the performance and security of your app you can load these packages dynamically based on the usage or user rights. With routes you can build stateful applications and even use them to trigger the dynamic package loading. In this talk you will learn all about packages, dynamic packaging loading and routing you need to improve your own applications.

  • Design of a generic linked enterprise data backend for app development

    Modern business applications often rely on data that is linked from a business perspective but originates from diverse enterprise sources. This results in complex application development, leading to long development cycles and increasing project budgets. In this talk I will present a design approach for a generic backend that addresses these issues and speeds up application development.

  • ExtReact Introduction and How it Compares to ExtJS

    React is an intuitive framework for coding web apps. But React does not include a standard component library! ExtReact lets you use all 115+ Ext components in your React application. The presentation will have a brief introduction to React programming, then contrast how a simple application is coded both ExtJS and ExtReact.

  • Enhance your JavaScript applications with Websockets

    When we hear the word „Websocket”, we almost immediately think about real time chats. While this is indeed a great use case for websockets, they also offer a lot of features that are useful in other javascript applications. In contrast to APIs, websockets offer a bi-directional communication, so that they not only can act as a fast and reliable datasource, but also enable backends to notify client applications about certain events like the completion of a long background task. In this talk we will learn about the pros and cons of sockets, their scalability in clustered environments and how we can leverage them to bring more reactivity and performance into our javascript applications.

  • Using multiple programming languages in single projects

    We at the companies GESS and dimap decided to switch to API oriented software development. Based on core components (Sencha ExtJS, OODB Gemstone/S) we developed a model oriented development system – producing libraries for ExtJS, Java, C# and Python. Sencha ExtJS is our main product in UI development, while Python, C# and Java are connections are used to connect other products in our company and scripting support.

  • What happens before the app is launched

    This talk covers everything that happens before the actual start of Ext JS and what the developer should do/load. I’ll mainly talk about Classic, but also about typical processes of the modern framework.
    We will talk about:

    • app initialization
    • deferring mainView loading
    • user data loading and validation
    • preparing recurrent or time based functionality (TaskManager)
    • language loading and binding (for multi-language apps)

  • Adding a Gantt chart to your Sencha application

    One of the major strengths of Ext JS is its concept of reusable self contained Ext.Components. At Bryntum, we have been creating powerful Components & extensions for Ext JS for the past 10 years. I will show you how little it takes to add a powerful component like a Gantt chart to any Ext JS application.

  • Testing ExtJS Components

    If you ask development teams if they are familiar with TDD and whether they’d recommend writing tests, 90% will approve.
    If you ask the same group of people if they are actually writing tests in their everyday life, 80% will deny this.
    Although this numbers were just made up, there is no question that there is still a sort of morally ambivalence existing among developers when it comes to writing software and actually testing, specially since management often has no idea of the impacts of testing in the long term and mostly fear the investment that comes with testing upfront, be it time or money.
    In this half-day workshop, we will have a look at Sencha Test and Bryntum’s Siesta and learn how to write tests for our UI components and our application using this tools, and how to incorporate this development method into our everyday work, following the principle Test early, test often!

    Target Audience: Programmers that have already used Sencha ExtJS and want to not only improve the quality of their software, but also want to learn how to write code more lean and elegant.
    The number of seats are limited.

  • How we scale and manage the UI in your React apps to keep it simple and consistent

    As our app codebase grows, or even if we have distributed apps, we need to face the challenge of how to keep the UI simple and consistent, and consider to use an UI library or even create one as package. I will cover different UI libraries abroad, both in React and Native, showing advantages of libraries like React Native Elements, Bootstrap and Material UI and others ones to keep in mind for 2019. If these libraries are not enough, I will guide to the process of create a library and the success case of Danske Bank, that uses a React Native library as a package to share a common design and UX language across all the products created by the company.

  • Machine data: how to handle it better?

    The rise of IoT and smart infrastructure has led to the generation of massive amounts of complex data. Traditional solutions struggle to cope with this shift, leading to a decrease in performance and an increase in cost. In this talk, we will take a look at this kind of data using a simulated Curiosity rover. Participants will learn how to create a data pipeline for ingestion and visualisation. By the end of this session, we will be able to set up a highly scalable data pipeline for complex time series data with real time query performance.

  • End-to-End Testing ExtJS Application at Scale

    Covering an enterprise web application with end-to-end tests is always a hard and complex process. In this talk, I’ll share our story of test automation in web applications built with all sorts of Sencha frameworks from ExtJS 3 to ExtReact. Last year, we made a breakthrough in test automation moving from almost zero to hundreds of automated test scenarios. Why do we need test automation?

    • Why should we be using JavaScript in test automation?
    • Importance of right tooling and continuous integration
    • Synergy between developers and QA engineers
