The CDO needs to change the understanding and role of data governance – and soon.

Growing data complexity, with such things as IOT, algorithmic business and increased regulation, will force a more business-led, business relevant, and ethical information governance discipline.

In this webinar Thomas W. Oestreich (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio)  will explain how “It’s all about increased business value!”

Discussion Topics:

• Why current “best practices” for information governance won’t work with today and tomorrow’s regulated, cost-optimized and growth-challenged environment
• How to reimage your data and analytics governance capability so that it aligns to business, for the business, by the business

 A 3 Hour Online Web Architecture Conference!

Taking time to plan your architecture before you begin the development work is like having a roadmap—or rather, a good GPS—before you begin your trip.

If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll still end up somewhere, but it may not be exactly where you envisioned.

Your architectural plan needs to include design, performance, scalability, and availability, as well as many other considerations and trade-offs—all of which will position you to make smarter decisions as your website and applications take shape.

In this online conference, three experienced developers share some of the building blocks of web architecture: cross-platform development, webhooks, and APIs. Their experience will arm you with practical takeaways that you can use in devising your own web architectures.

Session 1

Confessions Of A Cross-Platform Developer

Cross-platform development is not only a challenging, technical line of work; it also changes the way you think, work, and interact with systems and software as a user and a developer.

New frameworks like Electron are making it easier for developers to create applications that can run on multiple platforms, but things are never as simple as they appear.

Building good cross-platform applications requires more than just the right tools.

In this session Andreia explores:

• Cross-platform development,
  • outlining the skills you need to get the job done.
• How cross-platform frameworks get built, what tools are used,
• How many platforms you can target as a cross-platform developer
  • (hint: it’s more than three), and …
• How to go about targeting them.

You’ll learn how a cross-platform development focus can change the way you build code and use software.

Presenter: Andreia Gaita  (LinkedIn profile) is a C#/C++ developer and longtime open source and Mono contributor, currently working at GitHub doing .NET and open source and building the GitHub extension for Visual Studio. For the past 16 years, Andreia has been involved in the development of cross-platform applications, services, and libraries, embedding browser engines, creating bindings, and making tools. Andreia hails from the sunny city of Lisbon, Portugal, and currently lives in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Session 2

The Wonderful World Of WebHooks

In an increasingly connected world, APIs are key to great tools and effective workflows.

But what’s better than an API?

A webhook, of course. Webhooks are a central building block of modern applications, allowing systems to exchange data in response to events.

In this session Lorna dives into examples of webhooks currently in use in the wild, examining when a webhook is useful and exploring the internal design and structuring of webhook payloads.

Lorna discusses how to work with webhooks in a scalable way regardless of your technology stack, how to receive and process incoming webhooks from an external system, and how to design and publish your own for use by partners or consumers.

Walk away with a better idea of how to make your applications play nicely with others.
