Previous talks

Data Needs Testing Too

Ron Ballard

with Ron Ballard

On 28 August 2023 a faulty flight plan brought Gatwick to a standstill. The application had been working for years but the data was bad. You can test your application, but you never know what data will be thrown at it. This talk is about testing the data.
 

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!)
