Our September Talks

📣 Kyle Johnson - Flagsmith CoFounder - Releasing Faster and Safer as Frontend Developers with Feature Flags

Join Kyle to learn how developers are using feature flags for things like A/B tests, segmenting/targeting users, and reducing bottlenecks to frontend code.

Learn how to get started with feature flags, best practices, and the power of open source feature flags with live coding to see feature flags in action!

📣 Ellie Tahmasebi - NatWest Developer & Woman In Tech - An Introduction to TypeScript for Early Years Developers and Everyone!

Whether you’re new to JavaScript, a seasoned developer, or just curious about TypeScript, join Ellie to demystify TypeScript and learn how it can help you write scalable code, improve your workflow and code quality.

📣 Eddie Jaoude - Open Source Expert - Why do developers hate writing tests? And are they right?

Automated Testing is one of those subjects which gets no love and makes developers roll their eyes. What if I told you that Automated Testing can save you time and improve the quality, security and accessibility of your project.

Using a real world project, I'll show you how tools like Playwright and mswjs can drive browsers like real users with full E2E testing as well as mocking out third party APIs to improve boundary testing and performance.

📣 Carly Richmond - Principal Developer Advocate @ Elastic - Synthetic Monitoring and E2E Testing: 2 Sides of the Same Coin

Despite the emergency of DevOps to unite development, support, and SRE factions, we still use different tools to achieve similar aims. Case in point: Synthetic Monitoring and E2E testing!

I'll show why these 2 techniques are not that different and how monitoring-as-code, production monitoring, and testing can be achieved using Playwright, GitHub Actions, and Elastic Synthetics.

📣 Sam Stepanyan - OWASP Global Board Member - API Hacking and Securing

APIs are the backbone of modern software development, allowing you to build innovative applications that seamlessly integrate across ecosystems.

As your API becomes the lifeblood of your application, it becomes a prime target for attackers. We'll explore the latest trends in API hacking, including common vulnerabilities, attack vectors, and real-world examples of API breaches. We'll look at best practices which can help to secure your APIs.
