DUMP-2016 Developer Conference: Yekaterinburg, April 8

Developers, designers, testers, managers, do not forget to include in your plans for the spring - the DUMP-2016 conference will be held in Yekaterinburg on April 8. Now we are actively looking for speakers (how to become them, read below). Still under the cut: a little about last year's conference and plans for this year (for example, we have two new sections).



Registration is already open. Join now!


Last year we had the fifth DUMP. Who has not been and does not know what DUMP is (Development. Usability. Management. Practice) - see the excellent short video above, everything is told there. Watch videos and presentations of last year's reports here , photos are also uploaded there. And here is the Khabrovsky report on DUMP-2015.

According to numerous applications, we have added two new sections to the program of this year - Mobile and DevOps. Reports will go in 8 sections: FrontTalks, Serverside. Knowledge, Serverside. Experience, Mobile, Web-design, DevOps, Testing, Management.

The program committee is responsible for the content of each section. We invited people from different backgrounds and from companies of different sizes to create a program that would be interesting for an employee of a huge corporation and a specialist from a small web studio.

The program committee reviews applications, selects the most useful and interesting ones, helps speakers prepare for reports and does a lot of important and big work.

Program Committee DUMP-2016:
• FrontTalks - Oleg Mokhov (Yandex), Vadim Makishvili (Yandex), Alexey Ivanov (Evil Martians), Valeria Atamanova (Yandex);
• Serverside - Alexey Spiridonov (JetStyle), Alexander Kokovin (SKB Kontur), Andrey Fefelov (mastery.pro), Daniil Skrobov (Vostok projects), Konstantin Beklemishev (Naumen);
• Mobile - Dmitry Polishchuk (Yandex), Valeria Atamanova (Yandex);
• Web-design - Alexander Kudymov (Rambler & Co), Daria Prokuda (JetStyle);
• DevOps - Alexey Kirpichnikov (SKB Kontur);
• testing - Ilya Vakhrushev (Exadel), Maxim Zakharov (SKB Kontur), Alexander Akhmetov (SKB Kontur);
• Management - Andrey Zheleznov (Button), Maxim Akhmadinurov (Button).

The program is being actively formed. We are preparing 56 selected reports. They are already coming to us:Roman Dvornov (Avito), Vadim Makeev (Opera Software), Alexey Androsov (Yandex), Denis Neklyudov (Google Dev Expert), Andrey Karmatsky (Urbica).

The program directors wrote addresses to the speakers, in which they identified topics that are of interest to us.

Serverside

This year we will repeat the successful experience of DAMP 2015 with dividing the reports in the Serverside sections into Experience and Knowledge.

In the Serverside.Knowledge section, we are interested in reports telling about well-known or, conversely, undeservedly ignored technologies, solutions, rules for organizing code or creating architectures. Everything that helps others to use the right tools and approaches in development.

For example, from this series we would be interested in:
- php7 (who tried what features, the better HHVM and analogues);
- machine learning;
- what everyone should know, but no one knows (algorithms and data structures, working with memory, etc.);
- parallel computing on video cards;
- cryptocurrencies and transaction services;
- server analytics.

The ServerSide.Experience section is our hall of fame. Here we want to hear true stories from the life of developers. Everything that you did / did with your hands and in practice, the best practices of using new or reinforcing old tools, the invention of your own bicycles and stuff like that.

For example:
- security and vulnerability search;
- sip for NAT, WebRTC, calls from the browser and other pleasures of telephony;
- Internet of things;
- Automatic bug reports about the operation of the web application;
- GrafQL - server solutions for its use;
- isomorphic applications (and all sorts of SPA) - how to cook on the backend;
- How to write the API (Rest vs everything else).

Fronttalks

This year, the Fronttalks section promises to be very interesting: Vadim Makeev from Opera, Roman Dvornov from Avito, BEM, application debugging and other relevant topics. So far we have announced only part of the program, but all the slots are already occupied (and, very cool performances!). Follow the announcements, until the end of February we will publish the entire program.

Mobile

This year, the mobile development section again broke into the conference program after a two-year break. And I - Mitya Polishchuk - the person who takes care of the quality of the section, is going to please you only with the most interesting and hardcore presentations.

In the mobile section, we will talk a lot about reactive programming, new approaches in testing mobile applications, cross-platform development, security, and new programming languages ​​such as swift and kotlin.

If you have topics that you should talk about at the largest conference for developers in the Urals, write to us at deepol@yandex-team.ru or fill out an application on the site.

Web design

In the web-design section this year, we are waiting for a little less reports about beauty and a little more about solutions that make life easier, about methods of interaction and innovation.

We will be glad to hear stories about:
—Atomic Design, all kinds of style guides, development of large projects, starting with designing a style guide and drawing elements;
- interactive installations, projections, promotional projects;
—Material Design;
—Design in code;
—Service design;
—Experience in working with foreign customers (how to find, how to start, what difficulties and differences);
—Design for Force Touch and new methods for entering information;
—VR implementation and non-trivial use in everyday reality;
—Optimization of team interaction, or how not to waste time on trifles, and force it to do various tools, such as Spech king and others;
—Speed ​​product design and hypothesis testing on beautiful semi-prototypes.

Devops

We would be interested to listen to the stories of people who _in practice_ deal with: -
automatic configuration management (Ansible, Chef, PowerShell DSC, ...);
- microservice architecture;
—New monitoring tools (InfluxDB, Moira, ...);
- operation in containers (Docker, Apache Mesos, ...);
- operation in the cloud (Amazon, Azure, ...);
—Load testing (Yandex.Tank, JMeter, ...);
—Service discovery (Consul, etcd, ...).

To bring something new into the production service is only for risky :) These are what we are waiting for in our section!

Testing

This year we decided to hold a section under the slogan “Good, bad, evil testers”.

Traditionally, we will raise eternal topics:
- self-determination and self-identification of testers in this world;
—Development of the larva and possible tracks of this development;
—Introduction of the tester into a new product;
“Who are we, and why are we needed?”

And from those who want to make
speeches , we will be glad to hear requests that fit into this outline: - keep abreast: trends, books, people;
- Bagdriven development;
—Mobile testing in all its manifestations;
—How a manual tester can get into adjacent pieces and do everything by himself;
- hardcore and pentest;
- Holivar with managers and programmers about the ideal tester;
—How to live after a missed bug;
—System of continuous integration as the rhythm of the project and the method of communication.

And any other topics that the tester’s soul asks for! Write.

Management

This year the section will be devoted to the problems of evaluating one's own work. Evaluating your work is very simple, when you have one customer - if he is satisfied and signed the act, then you are well done. But how to evaluate product development? How to evaluate it before the product has already taken place? Financial and non-financial metrics and assessment methods allow us to obtain information on whether we are going there or whether it is time to make decisions about changing the course in the process of working on a product.

We will talk about factors - obvious and indirect - that influence the market success of a product. This will focus not only on “for sale” products, but also on such internal projects of companies as training or employee motivation - because they also have economic indicators.

We are waiting for the leaders of development teams, team leaders, project managers, developers who are interested in management problems, as well as business owners and / or those who are already planning to start their own business. We would like to hear personal examples of how you measured the success of your work, how you managed to change your shoes (or failed) in the process.
