In technology projects, the project manager has to manage a variety of team members.

The software developer is often a critical team player. Unfortunately, there is often a communication and style disconnect between the PM and the developer. If this dysfunctional relationship continues, the project will fail.

In this webinar, attendees will lead practical strategies to work productively with developers.

Topics to be covered: a day in the life of your developer, how to network and demonstrate respect and how to proactively manage developers.

With increased technical knowledge and leadership dedication, the PM-Developer collaboration can become a win-win!

Presenter: Bruce Harpham (LinkedIn profile) runs Project Management Hacks, and his experience has focused on the financial services industry. Bruce’s writing on project management has appeared in Project Manager Today magazine, Project Times, CIO.com, and  ProjectManagement.com. In 2014, he won several blogging awards from IT World Canada for his writing on technology trends.

Because they promise to provide high scalability and availability, microservices are gaining ground in high-throughput Java applications.

However, design patterns that worked well in a monolithic application rarely work well in the microservices world. The design patterns you choose for your microservices-based applications play a significant role in their performance.

In this webcast, you’ll get a deeper look at 3 anti-patterns in microservices architecture that may cause significant performance impacts on your applications.

You’ll learn tips for avoiding these anti-patterns, so you can create effective and efficient conversions.

Asad Ali and Reinhard Pilz from Dynatrace, will use Spring Boot applications built on a microservices architecture to showcase these anti-patterns and successful techniques for avoiding them, such as:

• How to create balance between service-level granularity and application performance
• How to distribute services across multiple processes and hosts, and gain scalability and availability without degrading performance
• How to optimize inter-service communication without creating payload overhead

Presenters:

Asad Ali (LinkedIn profile, O’Reilly bio) is a technical product evangelist with over 15 years of experience in OOP, databases and scripting languages. His vast expertise includes application performance for Java, .NET, containers, and mobile. Asad leads a team of technical resources for the Dynatrace application monitoring product extending and enhancing the application monitoring capabilities and assisting with large scale deployments.

Reinhard Pilz (LinkedIn profile) Product Specialist at Dynatrace, has over 15 years of experience as full-stack developer in the field of web and APM engineering.

 Shayne Hodge walks participants through prototyping a simple battery-powered, cloud-connected, GPS device that communicates its position via a cellular connection.

Shayne shares the software that moves the data from the provider’s cloud into your own data store and explains ways of visualizing the data.

To provide motivation and a user story for this device, Shayne will be installing the device in his CEO’s car: he’ll get an alert when his CEO gets close to the office so he knows to stop watching cat videos and get to work.

Shayne also demonstrates passing the alert to another IoT device (a light fixture) and visualizing it on a web page and explores privacy concerns.

Code will be primarily in C++ (Particle.io), Python (Flask), and JavaScript on the frontend with PostgreSQL as the data store.

Presenter: Shayne Hodge (LinkedIn profile) had a career-defining moment when he read Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age,  and realized his interest was in the commercialization of really interesting technology. Shayne spent his early career working as an attorney in patent litigation before returning to the tech world proper in the IoT & analytics fields. Currently a data scientist at SnapLogic; he previously worked for Jut.io, Cisco Systems, and others. Shayne is a member of the IEEE and holds a BS and MS in electrical engineering, a JD, and an MBA.
