Expertalks: AngularJS Applied – Case Study of a Production App

  • Date: Sat, 28 Jun 10:00am – 2:00pm
  • Location: Equal Experts Office, 4-C, 2nd Floor, Cerebrum IT Park, B3 Kumar City, Kalyani Nagar

AngularJS is a fast gaining popularity as a JavaScript framework for building rich and interactive Single Page Applications following the client-side MVC design philosophy.

At Equal Experts, we’ve recently completed a real-world mobile-web application built using AngularJS. It’s live & more than kicking in production today… 🙂

In this session we would like to present a case study of our experience with AngularJS.

We’ll go over the practical challenges we ran into (…that are typical use cases for any rich internet application of today…) and how we addressed those challenges using various features of AngularJS.

Session Format

This session will assume that the audience is familiar with fundamental AngularJS constructs and mechanics.

The main aim of the session is to share knowledge among developers who have some experience of using AngularJS in the wild.

This will not be an ‘introductory’ tutorial-oriented session.

PRESENTER: Avinash Agreeable

Resources

For those who’ve not used AngularJS before and still wish to participate, here are some great resources to get you started with AngularJS.

We hope you befriend AngularJS beforehand, which will be necessary to fully appreciate the content and intent of this session.-

Turing100 Lecture: Talk on the Life and work of Leslie Lamport

  • Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2:00pm – 5:00pm
  • Location: Dewang Mehta Auditorium, “Bhageerath”, Persistent Systems, SB Road

Persistent System presents a talk on the life and work of Turing Award Winner Leslie Lamport, on 28 June, 2pm to 5pm, at the Dewang Mehta Auditorium, Persistent, SB Road.

In March 2014, Leslie Lamport was named the 2013 winner of the Alan Turing Award of the Association for Computing Machinery(ACM), widely regarded as the Nobel Prize in computing.

Over the past 40 years, Lamport has made several foundational contributions to the theory and practice of distributed computing. His early work includes the Bakery Algorithm for the mutual exclusion problem and an insightful paper on the importance of causality in a distributed system. He later investigated fault tolerance in the presence of so-called Byzantine failures—worst case scenarios that could disrupt the correct functioning of a distributed system. His distributed consensus algorithm Paxos is widely used in many modern replicated data storage systems. A recurrent theme in his work is the importance of precise specifications and formal reasoning in ensuring the correctness of concurrent systems.

Speaker: Madhavan Mukund, Dean of Studies, Chennai Mathematical Institute

After that there will be a short break for tea, followed by a talk on:

Skilling for SMAC – by Anand Deshpande

Social-Mobile-Analytics-Cloud (SMAC) technologies will play a significant role in the building of next generation software products and solutions. Building solutions on this SMAC-stack requires a unique set of technical skills, different from the traditional software programming. This talk will focus on some of the upcoming SMAC trends and the skills needed to stay relevant as these trends unfold.

Speaker: Anand Deshpande, CMD, Persistent

Venture Center Event: A documentary on the psychology of Industrial Design

  • Date: Sat, 28 Jun 3:00pm – 4:30pm
  • Location: Library, Venture Center, NCL Innovation Park, Pashan Road

“Objectified”: A documentary on the psychology of Industrial Design

The items you think the least about may have the most effective designs, according to the 2009 film “Objectified.”

Take the Post-it note. Have you ever considered that someone put a lot of time into its appearance?

The movie explores the unconscious but influential relationship we have with the objects around us, and why the smallest tweaks in design make an enormous difference.

Nearly everyone spends their life surrounded by the work of industrial designers, but very few people understand the process by which your furniture, cell phone, or alarm clock came to look and feel the way they do, and how the elements of design interact with our own ideas and assumptions about value and functionality. Objectified, which features interviews with a number of major designers who discuss how products move from the drawing board to the marketplace, and the philosophy behind the look, feel, and function of the things in your home.

Anchored by Firoz Siddiqui

Firoz works as Inovation Manager with Fauresia Interior Systems. He has also worked with Tata Motors and Mahindra, in their Design Dept. He has 13 yrs of experience in the field of Design and automotive products. His expertise is in Designing, Prototyping, Testing and Mechanisms.
