Behavior-Driven Unit Testing in C

General processing units dominate the computational industry. We can use just about any compiler and have little concern with the binary executable. However, every bit is essential in the microcontroller and processor industry, and C++ compilers frequently exceed the devices capabilities.

Speaker: Benjamin J. Anderson

The Bad Guys Are (Unfortunately) Talented Developers

Attackers write crafty code to compromise apps, steal data, and cover their tracks. To protect against them, you need to understand them. Come discover the mistakes developers make, see actual exploits & code extracted from ecommerce breach investigations, and learn ways to protect your own apps.

Build Durable Applications with Temporal

You’re calling APIs, databases, and building transactional code, and you need to make sure it all works. In this talk you’ll see how you can use Temporal, an open-source durable execution platform to define workflows that recover from failure. using the languages and platforms you already know.

Speaker: Brian P. Hogan

Creating a Consumer Electronic Music Device - Firmware - Apps - Interfaces

Building a delivering a successful consumer electronics device can take a lot of coding. In my case, coding in C++, C#, SWIFT and Javascript for the firmware and various apps.

This talk covers the variety of technologies needed to gain customers and build their success, including lessons learned.

Build Large Language Models from 0 to 60 (Llama, GPT, OpenAI)

Everyone is talking about AI, and using tools from OpenAI such as ChatGPT. Want to know what it takes to build your own Large Language Models(LLMs)? We will explore the tools ranging from hardware requirements to software requirements. We'll discuss the key elements of language model design, including tokenization strategies, neural network architectures, and training techniques. Attention will be drawn to the significance of quality training data, exploring techniques for data collection, cleaning, and augmentation. This presentation, suitable for ML enthusiasts, data scientists, and curious individuals, promises a comprehensive understanding of constructing large language models, marking the pathway from zero knowledge to a functional model.

Speaker: Min Maung, Lwin Maung
