OS Bridge 2012++ Hacker Lounge++
I’ve submitted some talks to OS Bridge so I hope to see a ton of people there! 
The two sessions that I’ve put forth, if accepted of course, go something like this.
Removing the Operating System Barrier with Platform as a Service (PaaS) (45 minute session)
This session will cover the major advances of platform as a service technology, what’s available in the OSS space to enable faster, easier, higher quality software development cycles in the cloud. The session will complete with a demo of PAAS technology in use, deploying a highly scalable, distributed & dispersed web application.
This session will show why PAAS is the way of the future for application deployments. Enterprise, small business, and especially startups will want to learn more about the available PAAS OSS technology and also learn about what is coming in the near future.
The presentation is setup to not only cover the immediate technologies of IAAS and SAAS in relation to PAASbut also real life examples of how PAAS gives a competitive advantage to any software development effort.
I’ll be using a presentation, asking the audience questions to involve them, and also some prospective video along with a real production style deployment of code to involve the audience.
Putting It Together, Letting Apps Lead the Cycle, TDD in the Cloud (1 hr 45 min)
I’ll be taking a deep dive into cloud architectures and how to build applications, generally at the PaaS level mixed with a little IaaS, to get people rolling with high velocity, high quality, and without the need to worry about the little things.
Want to learn about why PaaS and cloud computing is altering the very fabric of the development cycle? Want to know how to dive in with some abstractions and behavioral practices on the cloud, using PaaS, to bring apps, prototypes, and UX to market faster than anyone else? I’ll be touching on all of these things during this long form session. The sessions will step through these core concepts and ideas.
- How to get up and running using cloud computing technologies and specifically to take advantage of PaaS providers.
- How to bring UX designs and prototypes into a usable state even faster.
- How to bridge that gap between development, test, QA, user acceptance testing, staging, and production (or whatever environments…) without blowing the bank.
- How to scale, once the cycle is in place and continuous deployment is ready.
I like the last one
keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
Thanks…
Maybe I’ll see you there? Then you can heckle me instead of me heckling you!
I am sorry I won’t be there – but still sending you good thoughts. Are you going to be at velocity? That is probably the next conference I will be at….would be great to see you. Maybe we could just do coffee or lunch soon if you are in/around Seattle during the week! Drop me an email and we can schedule
Will do. Planning to be in Seattle in the next week or three.
