TALKS
Linqing Railways: Improving code readability in functional C# using Linq to Monad - Amin Mousavi
The talk is based on my experience of using functional patterns across different projects at Xero (www.xero.com).
It comes with practical approaches to use this technique in a commercial code base.

Kubernetes made simple with Azure Container Apps - Will Velida
Kubernetes is hard. Managing and administrating your clusters can be a challenge even for the most seasoned teams. If you just want to bother with managing clusters, Azure Container Apps could be the solution that you're looking for.In this lightning talk, I'll do a quick comparison between Container Apps and Kubernetes. Then I'll jump into a demo showing you how to can deploy, administer, and monitor your containers without having to worry about the complexity of Kubernetes.

N-Gram Models - the language model from 1948 - Stephen Choo
A demonstration of one of the very first language models from 70 years ago. It's a wonderfully simple and elegant model, and we'll be going through a demo where we show how some of the concepts (such as tokenisation, memorisation and overfitting) are still relevant today.

The Platform Engineering Iceberg - Dylan McCarthy
Platform Engineering is a fairly new concept that has been seeing a rise in popularity right now, but what is it and how deep does it go?
In this talk I want to give you an idea of what lies under the waves of “Platform Engineering” and how if not approached carefully it could sink your tech budget
