Unlocking Legacy Systems for Enterprise Mobility

The year 2020 is approaching faster that you imagined. And the paradigm is shifting rapidly, with go, no go decisions being made in seconds and the battle for customer loyalty becoming an everyday reality. As companies across the board are moving towards DevOps and a shift-left approach, defining clear goals and making the right decisions, right now, is critical to success. The enterprises that most espouse shared responsibility, empowered autonomous teams, and continuous learning environment allow DevOps to thrive in their organization, in the truest sense.

In this webinar, leading app development expert Tony Rivera (@TonyTekInsights) will show you how to use Flutter, React Native and Xamarin to increase app development efficiency. Featuring a toolkit to show how easy it is to adopt these frameworks, Tony will demonstrate how to maximise value using single code bases for Apple ioS and Google Android.

The rapid rise of the app has left developers, owners and marketers with an onslaught of choice, competition and confusion - not to mention massive opportunity. AppScatter will attempt to demystify the app ecosystem, walking delegates through the key trends behind what's being widely hailed as the '4th Industrial Revolution’.

Switching from Express to Serverless has completely transformed the delivery of Pilcro’s APIs over the past 6 months.

It has offered reduced cost, out-of-the-box deployment/scalability/monitoring, and lightning fast development.

This talk outlines why we made the switch with a demonstration of setting up your first Node.js API with Serverless and AWS Lambda.

An open-source enthusiast, Juliano is a senior software engineer at uSwitch and a firm believer that the future belongs to polyglot and functional programming. In this session, Juliano explores ‘A Practical Theory of Language-Integrated Query’ with Quill.

Quill is a compile-time language integrated query library with a powerful query compilation mechanism, and this talk will give an overview of the query compilation, present the Quoted Domain Specific Language (QDSL) approach, and give a quick view of Quill's functionality and internals.

According to the 2017-18 World Quality Report, 88% of companies surveyed are using or experimenting with DevOps, and that number is growing. Making the transformation is not easy, and it’s made even more complicated by tools that aren’t integrated with each other, do not communicate with each other, and do not offer end-to-end visibility into and collaboration across the DevOps pipeline.

Micro Focus recently introduced their DevOps Suite, consisting of best-of-breed lifecycle management (ALM Octane), functional and performance testing (StormRunner Functional and StormRunner Load), and production monitoring (AppPulse) tools.

Attend this webinar to hear about the DevOps Suite, and how it can help your team accelerate application delivery at high quality and scale. We’ll also show you an end-to-end demo of the products. Here is what you will learn:

• Challenges facing organizations making an agile or DevOps transformation today
• Why it’s critical for organizations to have DevOps tools that share data and insights with each other as well as being tightly integrated with the pipeline
• How the Micro Focus DevOps Suite provides you with lifecycle and
pipeline management, continuous functional and performance testing
from the cloud, and production monitoring for continuous assessment

This webinar is part of BrightTALK's Founders Spotlight series. In the eighth episode of this series, Harriet Jamieson interviews Dr. Mik Kersten, founder and CEO of Tasktop.

Mik, who has been voted a JavaOne Rock Star speaker twice and is creator and leader of the Eclipse Mylyn open source project, will share how he founded Tasktop. Holding a PhD in Computer Science from the University of British Columbia, Mik has been an Eclipse committer since 2002, is an elected member of the Eclipse Board of Directors and serves on the Eclipse Architecture and Planning councils.

Mik will share his expertise and take live audience questions on software development tools, productivity tools, application lifecycle management, Agile, Eclipse, Mylyn and Java.

The webinar will discuss how retailer apps are being used within the APAC region. Despite Asia Pacific being one of the most mobile-driven regions in the world, questions remain over of the effectiveness of apps in specific markets.

Criteo will share some of the findings from a recent survey across 3,000 app users on consumer mobile behaviour across six APAC markets (Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, India & South Korea). A better understanding of how consumers view the in-app purchasing journey is crucial for
brands to enhance this form of brand-customer interaction, and will be discussed during this session.

The webinar will reveal essential information for brands hoping to increase sales within the region over the coming weeks, months and years.
