🖖 Programmer's Health: A Space Time Odyssey - Sean Goresht (@SGoresht) - 30min
New year, new you? Kicking us off with a dev-meta talk this year, Sean has undergone a bunch of self health analysis that affects us as traditionally sedentary office workers - and would love to debunk some myths for us, the unhealthyness of workplaces, and how to change your life, work and nutrition to make you a potentially healthier developer and human.

⏱ Networking during intermission - 30min:
Pizza thanks to PCCW Global and Alcorn group! Drinks thanks to Just Digital People :-)

🔬 The AA Bill - Kartik Gupta (@kartikgupta) - 20min
The government has introduced a bill into law at the end of last year which it claims is help mitigate the impact of encrypted communications services on police investigations. Telcos and communications providers can be forced to modify the services they provide to customers to create a weakness that agencies can ­exploit. Kartik can tell you all the ins-and-outs of what it is and how it affects us in an ongoing way.

🧰 How to use a full potential of service worker with your App - Alexandre Combemorel (github.com/alexandre-combemorel) - 20min
Alexandre has been developing a project using full potential of the service worker API. Tough challenge tho, the target was to create an offline map using the Esri API.
Hear how he conqured device size limit, divergence of service worker implementations, number of requests, how to store and save massive amount of data and so on... See how you can implement an efficient service worker for scaled App!

⚡️ Lightning talk: Account Takeover - Glen Arrowsmith (@garrows) - 4.5min
What is Account Takeover, and why is it done? How? What's used to stop it? Security dev man-about-town Glen tells us in 4 mins flat!

💫 Short talk: Deploying Node.js microservices to Kubernetes using Terraform - Ashley Davis (@ashleydavis75) - 10-15min
Need to deploy your Node.js app to Kubernetes but having trouble getting your head around it? In this talk we'll look at using Terraform to create infrastructure as code and simplify the job of creating a Kubernetes cluster and deploying a Node.js application. This will be a whirlwind tour of Terraform and demonstration of how to bring online a simple Node.js microsevices application.
