Speakers & talks:

API Testing in Laravel with OpenApi/Swagger

Speaker: John Roux
Organisation: I am a full time consultant via my company (RouxtAccess), I generally do CTO style advisory work, System Architecture, DevOps and Database Design as well as a fair bit of mentoring and leadership consulting, with a bit of normal Laravel + Vue dev work on the side.
Bio: I'm a Christian dude and an admin on ZATech. I'm involved a fair bit in youth development. and always keeping my finger on the pulse of local communities and startups.

Why have nice OpenAPI docs but not use them?
Instead, this talk will give you a brief overview of how you can test your API against the docs which you say describe your API.
Added a new attribute but it's not in your API Docs? Boom, test breaks.
Remove an attribute that your API Docs say is required? Boom, test breaks.
How about if you change your validation to now require new things that weren't in the spec? Boom, test breaks.

Cultivating DevOps Culture

Speaker: Johnathan Dell
Organisation: IO Digital
Bio: Johnathan is a Devangelist that believes a team's performance is closing linked to their ability to solve issues not only for clients but for themselves. With experience from being in a plethora of different team sizes, he has gained a perspective of how teams need to collaborate and be accountable to each other.

DevOps is a terminology that is very loosely used these days, in this talk you will be shown how you as a developer can change your team's mindset without having dedicated DevOps resources.
We'll be delving into the the processes that you can implement and explore the metrics to measure a team's performance as they transition into a DevOps culture.

See you all soon :)
