Announcement of Covid-19 focused 89th ONLINE DevClub.lv
For more than half a year, Covid-19 has been impacting our lives tremendously. In Latvia, 2 applications have been developed in order to help limit the spread of coronavirus. Various opinions have been expressed regarding the use of these applications and how Covid-19 restrictions are impacting society’s psyche. We’d like to have an open discussion about these issues, therefore we have invited the developers of these applications to tell us more about the technical side of these apps, as well as the overall goal. We have also invited a psychotherapist who is going to tell us whether if and how Covid-19 restrictions are impacting us and how to deal with them.
You are welcome to Covid-19 focused 89th DevClub.lv on October 29 at 18:00.

Announcement of BigData focused 88th ONLINE DevClub.lv

Agenda for BigData focused 88th Devclub.lv
- Nicolas Frankel from Hazelcast will share experience on “Introduction to data streaming“.
While “software is eating the world”, those who are able to best manage the huge mass of data will emerge out on the top.
The batch processing model has been faithfully serving us for decades. However, it might have reached the end of its usefulness for all but some very specific use-cases. As the pace of businesses increases, most of the time, decision-makers prefer slightly wrong data sooner, than 100% accurate data later. Stream processing – or data streaming – exactly matches this usage: instead of managing the entire bulk of data, manage pieces of them as soon as they become available.
(Language – English)
Tags: Big Data, Data Streaming, Hazelcast Jet, Stream Processing, Open Data
Nicolas is a Developer Advocate with 15+ years of experience consulting for many different customers, in a wide range of contexts (such as telecoms, banking, insurances, large retail, and public sector).

Also double as a teacher in universities and higher education schools, a trainer and triples as a book author.
- Ivans Kuzņecovs from Tet will give a talk on “Moving towards predictive maintenance“.
Developing new problem-solving approaches using data from traditional systems on a new Big Data Platform.
Ivans will tell about the development process, expectations, challenges, and first results of the project that aims to improve customer experience with minimal involvement of support department.

Training – Applied Python Programming (IOT201) (June 17-18)
Python is a high-level programming language that is widely in use. Python code is readable, and its syntax ensures programmers write code that is well indented and clear. Python is supported on most platforms and is well suited for a wide variety of tasks – ranging from automating your daily platform tasks, to running as a standalone Web Server.
In this two day course, you will learn about the Python language, as well as explore the different types of projects that you can develop using it.
Training – Applied Go Programming
Go (aka Golang) is one of the fastest growing programming languages. It is an open-source language released by Google in 2009. Go is a multi-purpose programming language specifically designed to build faster and scalable applications. In this course, you will:
- Learn the core features of the Go programming language
- Understand how concurrency works in Go
- Learn how to create real-world applications using Go
Training – Getting Started with Containers in Azure
Many applications are moving towards a container-based approach and with good reason: containers allow us to separate our applications’ environmental concerns from the application itself.
Instead of worrying about how to configure our application to run on different target environments, we can explicitly state those needs in code and have that environment automatically created for us!
Training – Let’s Build an Automated CI/CD Pipeline with Azure DevOps
Continuous integration, continuous deployment, automated pipelines, oh my! There are so many crucial parts to a solid and scalable software development workflow that it can get overwhelming.
In this workshop, we’ll explore what it takes to create a development workflow that meets modern standards, complete with automated CI/CD pipelines, using Azure DevOps.
