Obsolescence in tech is inevitable, making code migrations a necessary part of staying competitive. Yet, despite their potential benefits, the high costs often make these migrations unfeasible, leading businesses to delay them until they become critical for survival. But what if migrations could deliver 10x the ROI and serve as a strategic advantage instead of an unavoidable cost? In this talk, tailored for tech leaders, engineers, and business stakeholders, you’ll discover how tech giants like Meta break down and solve the challenges of code migration with effective tools and expertise—allowing them to innovate rapidly, even with very large and growing codebases. You’ll learn how to turn migrations into a powerful advantage for your team, too.
Alex, a PhD dropout in Systems Engineering, has built AI-powered automation platforms at Meta, processing billions of content daily. Alex founded Codemod to create a better version of the internal code automation platform at Meta for the rest of the world.
Developing cross-platform applications is complex. Some frameworks allow us to share the business logic and some go further and allow us to share the UI layer. But even then – working with device hardware requires developers familiar with each target platform to maintain it and can still lead to error-prone platform-specific code.
What if you could write it all in either C# or XAML, from any dev environment, deploy to any platform, at 5x the speed, and have it all pixel-perfect without any lock-in? Enter Uno Platform, an open-source project enabling amazing dev productivity for building Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly apps!
In this session, we will provide a brief overview of what Uno Platform is and how it works before we take a deep dive under the hood and see where the magic happens.
Steve is a Senior Engineer, a .NET Microsoft MVP, and one of the core maintainers of the open-source Uno Platform project. When not at his computer, he is either watching the Montreal Canadiens lose or asleep on the couch.
Rust has been the most loved programming language for the past eight years, as highlighted by StackOverflow's developer survey. Its acclaim is backed by adoption from tech giants like Microsoft, Google, and Meta. Rust's blend of expressiveness, performance, safety, and fearless concurrency makes it ideal for multi-core CPUs. Additionally, Rust's ability to compile into WebAssembly enables seamless execution in browsers and edge computing environments.
Mastering Rust can be challenging, especially for developers with a background in non-system languages. Adopting Rust with the right mindset and suitable projects is crucial for a smooth transition and successful implementation.
In this talk, we will explore Rust's core principles and provide practical guidance for developers experienced in Java, TypeScript, and like languages. We will highlight projects where Rust excels, offering high value with minimal risk.
