We have a treat for you this month.

Ben Franzi of Atlassian will give his talk about Service Workers, which was a hit @ Programmable 2025 Sydney.

Synopsis of his talk

"Ever wanted to build a full fledged mobile app experience in the browser? It's easier than you think thanks to the three super powers of service workers. fetch, sync and push!

In this talk I will be running through a web-based messaging app that works entirely offline and go through how the features of service workers made that possible."

We also have 2 Jetbrains licenses to give away at the end of the talk.

Signals are reactive primitives for managing application state, increasingly found in programming languages and JavaScript frameworks.

In this session Lex Kuncevic covers their basic concepts and shows how they offer advantages over traditional state management and other reactive methods. We'll see practical examples demonstrating how Signals can simplify your code, improve performance, and how platforms like YouTube are already leveraging their power at scale.

And we’ll explore TC39’s efforts to standardise these concepts in ECMAScript, aiming for a more consistent experience across different frameworks and discover how frameworks like Angular, Solid, and Svelte use Signals, and learn how to apply these tools in your own projects.

Australia's doomed “Emu War” serves as a funny - yet oddly accurate - analogy for how we spend a lot of time (and money) solving the wrong problems. Often, critical missteps at the very beginning of projects lead to an inevitable avalanche of code, complexity and more than a few bugs.

But how can we ensure that we’re solving the right problems? Techniques such as applying the 5 Whys, Event Storming and the building of a Ubiquitous Language come together to point us in the right direction.

To demonstrate, we’ll explore the Emu War as if it was a coding problem and then contrast it to a more realistic e-commerce case study.

As many of the same modelling smells intensify, we’ll bring in grounded Domain-Driven Design practices - each one enabling us to move from a world of bugs and complexity to a far more maintainable and extensible solution.

It’s the perfect talk to help you get started (or fall back in love) with Domain-Driven Design.

I was very fortunate enough to see Lee Dunkley's talk a while back, and I'm absolutely delighted that Lee has graciously agreed to do his talk for Alt.Net

How Lee combines storytelling, humour, and technical material is masterful and unique and I've not seen anyone else do this except for Josh Long of SpringBoot fame.

I rate it as one of the best talks I've ever seen in my life and I hope you don't miss this delightful experience.
