Previous talks

My Journey Into Robotics – there is probably a better way!

Gary Emmerton

with Gary Emmerton

My interest in IoT and electronics has led me to dive into the world of robotics as a bit of a hobby. I’ll talk through some of my early experiments, experiences, things I've learned along the way and you’ll have a chance to see (and maybe try!) some of my latest working (ish) models. I’ll explain how they work and where my journey is heading next.
 

The World is Asynchronous – Let’s talk about Event Driven Architecture

Gary Emmerton

with Gary Emmerton

In this talk I will take a look at how our world works in an asynchronous way and how this affects architecture patterns. I’ll explore event driven architectures, what makes them up and how they lead to loosely coupled systems (and why that is a good idea!)
 

Any update? Lessons from 13 years running a moderately successful open source project

Tom Akehurst

with Tom Akehurst

13 years ago I started an open source project which, while not quite in the same league as the Rails/React/Laravels of the world, is probably the most widely used tool in its niche. In this talk I’ll share WireMock’s origin story plus a few lessons I’ve learnt along the way about what makes projects succeed, life as an open source maintainer, and maybe a daft anecdote or two.
