    The Beauty of the Actor Pattern in Multi-threaded iOS (Mike Rollins)

    +     +
    +

    + Threads in iOS can be a bear. But the adoption of the right pattern can help tame the beast. + At Flurry, we've used the Actor pattern to help us with the continual need to build bulletproof code without impeding on the needs of the developer. +

    +

    + About Mike: I have done it all, from backend work, web services, front end JS before the + great JS revolution (back in the days of ExtJS). I teethed on gov't + contracting here locally, then made the jump to Silicon Valley and Flurry as + a remote worker. Now, I'm a mobile engineer focusing on developer and + partner relations, a rare breed of engineer that speaks to the outside world + and loves every second of it. +

    Serverless Architecture - What, Why, and How? (Daniel Worsnup)

    +     +
    +

    + Serverless is one of those new buzzwords that everyone seems to be throwing around. Is it really going to kill all other computing architectures? Is it just a new trend that will soon fade away and is not worth your time to learn? In this talk we will see what serverless architecture is, why it developed, and what problems it is intended to solve. It is important for all software developers to have a basic understanding of serverless computing because all major cloud providers (Google, Amazon, and Microsoft) are rolling out their own flavors of serverless architecture, and major tech companies are turning to the model to power various parts of the tech stack. + + We will sample the power and convenience of serverless computing by developing a simple web application using AWS Lambda functions and a few other AWS services. We will see how Lambda is able to completely eliminate the need for explicitly defined and managed server instances. Finally, we will see how to utilize a platform like Serverless (https://serverless.com/) to remove your application’s dependence on a single cloud provider. +
