9:45 – 10:00

Hello, Timisoara!

10:00 – 10:45

Scaling Agile: The Small-Is-Beautiful of Hubs

Scaling agile is all the rage these days, and especially popular with laggard adopters who want to broaden their management span of control. Most scaling frameworks are just classical military hierarchies suitable to command-and-control: in a suitably arranged organization of 625 people, the average number of communication hops between any two people is a very un-agile seven. Yet small-world theory says that any two of the 8 billion people on Earth are connected through about six hops, but a Scrum@Scale®-like hierarchy is even worse for just 625 people. How does it work? The answer lies in self-organizing hubs, which hold the key to large group engagement—including enterprise Scrum. You know some hubs already — learn more at this talk.

11:00 – 11:45

Modern Data Strategy in Azure ​with Data Mesh​

Are you looking to know more about Data Mesh architectures? Join us to discover the advantages of data domain driven design instead of a monolithic data lake architecture and decoupling data from domain model. Familiarize yourself with the concepts and centralized solution architectures in Azure.

12:00 – 12:45

Building a Domain Driven Design type system

Domain Driven Design has manifested a major influence on how software was built in the last decade, still when it comes to applying it in practice things are not always easy, and many teams have encountered issues while trying to apply DDD in practice.

In this session we will present a way of building a type system for a .NET Core application, that follows DDD principles and patterns, and uses elements of functional programming in order to ensure good separation of responsibilities, make code composable, and reduce risks of failures by making it hard to represent invalid state.

13:00 – 14:00

Lunch break

14:00 – 14:45

The age of generative transformers – Are we making ourselves obsolete?

15:00 – 15:45

What’s new in C#11 and .NET 7

The .NET team is running fast and with .NET 7 we have a long list of new interesting features starting from C#11 but also in the .NET runtime itself.
In this session we will take a look at the performance improvements with the new native AOT compilation as well as the productivity features like, for example, the new System.Text.Json serializer features and “Generic Math”. The new fluent math support was only possible thanks to the new C#11 features, and we will look at them together with other simple but very productive innovations.

16:00 – 16:45

Qualities of a Highly Effective Architect

Many developers aspire to become architects. Some of us serve currently as architects while the rest of us may hope to become one some day. We all have worked with architects, some good, and some that could be better. What are the traits of a good architect? What are the skills and qualities we should pick to become a very good one? Come to this presentation to learn about things that can make that journey to be a successful architect a pleasant one.

16:45 – 17:00

Till next time!

UPT

Established in 1920, shortly after the union of Romanian territories, in a European context marked by the redefinition of states and by the aftermath of World War I, the Polytechnic School in Timisoara – as was originally called – was the answer to one of the requirements of the Romanian society of the time, namely the formation of engineers. Politehnica University Timisoara, a university of advanced research and education, is today one of the traditional Romanian schools and is recognized nationally and internationally both through the work of generations of teachers and the outstanding work of prestigious academics. According to tradition, the mission of Politehnica University Timisoara resides in meeting the competence requirements of the societal environment by providing superior training at undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate levels. Bearing fundamental values, the university mission reflects at the same time concern for the future of society, by tracing its development at local, regional, national, and international levels. The structure of Politehnica University Timisoara includes faculties, departments, chairs, institutes and research centers, laboratories, libraries, hostels, canteens, sports facilities, technical and administrative services, a publishing house and a printing center, and a student medical center. The 10 faculties of the university provide education programs to approximately 13,500 students. Within the 25 departments of the university work nearly 700 teachers and the auxiliary and administrative personnel amount to 500 staff. Politehnica University Timisoara is recognized as an outstanding actor on the research stage both nationally and internationally. The existence and operation of an important number of research centers (25), in which research teams successfully put into practice the research strategy of the institution, offer the university its international prestige and at the same time, provide funding sources for its development. The materialization of the research results in scientific papers, patents or products constitutes a guarantee of the institutional competence, thoroughness and professionalism. The didactic activity of Politehnica University Timisoara is organized in line with the Bologna paradigm; the study programs correspond to three cycles, BACHELOR, MASTER and DOCTORAL STUDIES. Interested in responding to the labor market demands and to the need for long-life training and development required by the complex challenges of the modern society, Politehnica University Timisoara organizes POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS, whose main objective is to update / develop / improve numerous academic qualifications. The portfolio of specializations offered by the Politehnica University Timisoara meets the needs of contemporary society, reflecting the close relationship the university holds with the socio-economic environment. The specializations are continually adapted to the latest trends in the field, and thus meet the theoretical and practical training requirements needed by graduates on the labor market. Politehnica University Timisoara has an infrastructure which ensures best conditions for teaching and research. The excellent spaces and equipment which the university offers are a consequence of the last decade’s modernization and investing concerns. Fully consistent with its mission with the desire to assert itself internationally, Politehnica University Timisoara is currently developing fruitful collaboration with many universities in Europe, USA, Canada, South America and Asia, resulting in over 190 cooperation agreements concluded directly or under European Union programs. The university`s campus includes 16 student hostels offering approximately 6500 beds, a student cafeteria, a student medical center and two modern sports centers.
