Wicked Good Development

After attending the Devoxx Poland Developer Conference in June in Krakow, Kadi and co-host Steve Poole sat down with speakers Oleg Šelajev, Developer Relations at Atomic Jar Inc, Ana-Maria Mihalceanu, Java Champion and  Developer Advocate at Redhat, and Brain Vermeer,  Java Champion and JUG Leader Netherlands about their key takeaways from the event, trends on cloud adoption, how hot the developer market is right now, and their favorite presentations (hint: they weren’t their own talks!).

In this episode, Kadi and Omar sit down and chat with members of the Developer Relations team at Sonatype to discuss the value in engineering teams doing vulnerability drills. We now live in a world where it's not a matter of if you will get attacked, it’s now a matter of when you will get attacked. So what can you do to protect yourself when that does happen? Learn why this shouldn’t be viewed as an incident response but more as streamlining your operational and engineering levels that need to be in lockstep with one another.

For this episode, Jamie Whitehouse, Director of Product Management at Sonatype, joins Kadi as guest host. With the unique perspectives of a Product Manager, Engineering Manager Daryl Handley, Data Scientist Cody Nash, and principal Engineer AJ Brown, we dissect the evolution of software supply chain attacks and lessons learned. We’ll dive into how credit card fraud detection and supply chain attack detection is similar, the data science behind these systems, and the behavior of the developers.

This episode is three fold as we finish up the roundtable discussion on Devnexus 2022 and we get a chance to interview two more developers who contribute to the open source community. We connect with Luis Majano, CEO of Ortus Solutions and long-time computer engineer, about putting in the open source work. From using a 70/30 ratio to dedicate time building open source in between client work to getting the next generation involved in maintaining minor code fixes first-hand, hear how the level of work put in makes the difference in professional open source. We also learn with Grace Jansen, Developer Advocate at IBM, about how the preservation of open source collaboration will be the guiding light to pushing technology forward. Hear how her unique background in Biology gives her insight into methodologies and behaviors when it comes to responsiveness and resiliency.

Brad Wood, Software Architect at Ortus Solutions says “everybody should be secure” when it comes to open source security. Hear Brad’s distinctive perspective after occupying roles of both an open source maintainer and contributor. From the advantages of using ColdFusion to the effects of trust in development like abandonware and namespace confusion attacks, Brad covers it all with Wicked Good Development at DevNexus 2022.

This episode is the first in a mini-series from our experience at Devnexus 2022. It was an exciting time to learn from developers and capture wisdom from the open source community.  The life of a contributor told by Maarten Mulders, Consultant, Trainer, and Technology Advocate at Info Support, plays out on Wicked Good Development during DevNexus 2022. Considering Apache Maven to be the cornerstone for Java development, hear how Maarten navigates fixing bugs, avoiding build breaks, and Java derivative languages.

Write code so good you don’t need documentation to go along with it. Achieving code quality that is measurable, efficient, and scalable across even the leanest development teams can feel like a stunt. Yet, the costs of growing tech debt make setting a standard a no-brainer. From defining code quality, how to measure it, and the best time to involve quality checks in the development process, join a comprehensive talk on the logic of high code quality.

Coming straight from Sonatype in-house industry experts Product Manager Rohan Bhaumik, Developer Advocate Sal Kimmich, and VP of product innovation Stephen Magill.

Did Spring4Shell set the internet on fire again? Not so fast. In a special episode of Wicked Good Development, we dissect the zero-day RCE vulnerability in the Spring Framework dubbed Spring4Shell or Springshell. From comparisons to Log4j to how to remediate it and what versions on vulnerable, the experts on today's show break down what we know so far about this new vulnerability. And most importantly, how to determine if you're affected.
