NPM/Yarn and Application Security

Sponsors: Safefood 360° (http://safefood360.com/)

Hey all,
we have two talks lined up for you in our next meetup. Fresh from EmberConf in Portland and dotSecurity in Paris, we have Serena Fritsch and Ingrid Epure from Intercom.

They’ll be talking about:

Spin me a Yarn - Serena Fritsch @serifritsch (https://twitter.com/serifritsch) (Intercom)
This will be a deep-dive into the inner workings of npm and yarn to demystify how they deal with dependency resolution, authenticity of packages and overall performance.

Counter-spells and the art of keeping your application safe - Ingrid Epure @ingridepure (https://twitter.com/ingridepure) (Intercom)
An Engineer's guide to front-end security.

Also big thanks to our sponsors for the night: Safefood 360° (http://safefood360.com/). Here's a bit about them.

Safefood 360° is a niche enterprise software company with a passion for helping food manufacturing companies globally produce safer food. Founded in 2011 we are a profitable and growing business and aside from a small seed-round to help get us started we are entirely self-funded and masters of our own destiny. Our solutions are used by some of the largest food companies in the world and on every continent. We are the category leader in this relatively new market and to maintain this position we need great technology and great people to deliver it.

We are shifting away from the traditional three tier monolithic stack, towards a Node.JS driven Microservices architecture with Event Sourcing and CQRS playing a key role. This is a brand-new project and we need developers with the skills, experience and drive to help us get there. If this sounds like something you can help with and if you like the idea of working within a small and growing team making a real difference in the world, then feel free to get in touch: http://safefood360.com/careers .

As ever, we have a limited capacity venue so have to set a cap on the number of RSVPs and will have a waitlist in operation.

Doors to the Intercom office will open at 6.30pm.

See you all there,
Cormac, David, Chris & Pat
