***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***   Details This week's topic: ActivityPub As described in Thoughtworks Technology Radar Vol. #29. With the current upheaval in the micro-blogging platform space, the ActivityPub protocol is gaining prominence. ActivityPub is an open protocol for sharing information such as posts, publications and dates. It can be used to implement a social media platform, but the key benefit is that it delivers interoperability between different social media platforms.

***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details*** Details Our July Meetup will be a remote gathering; the Zoom link will be posted the week before the event.

Or maybe, you've had to generate variations of these materials for different audiences or subsets of the data? Use Quarto […]

***Please Use Source Link Below to Confirm Event Details***   Details There is a debate in the GraphQL community between "schema-first" and "code-first" development. Yet, there is a third way: data-first GraphQL APIs. This is where principles and pragmatism meet. "Do not Repeat Yourself", "Domain-Driven Design," and "Data-Driven Development" are important principles in software. Just as important are pragmatic concerns like integrating vast reservoirs of heterogeneous brownfield data sources, exposing it all as production-grade APIs, and doing it fast. The remorseless logic of these factors leads ineluctably to one conclusion: APIs must derive from the data, not from a schema […]
