WebPlus: lxplus in your browser

• Ricardo Brito Da Rocha (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre This talk will cover the possibility of offering a lxplus like service directly on the browser. How we could rely on containers and schedulers to maintain long lived sessions, and how to offer integration with common CERN services.

Developers@CERN Forums: It is about U and I

• Luis Rodriguez Fernandez (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre No, this is not the title of latest film of Meg Ryan, this is the third edition of the Developers@CERN forum! So If you want to here about the latest cutting edge technologies and techniques on User Interfaces this is your place. Be prepared for a good dose of discussions, code and a lot of fun!

The path of code linting

• Alejandro Avilés (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre Join the path of code linting and discover how it can help you reach higher levels of programming enlightenment. Today we will cover how to embrace code linters to offload cognitive strain on preserving style standards in your code base as well as avoiding error-prone constructs. Additionally, I will show you the journey ahead for integrating several code linters in the programming tools your already use with very little effort.

Having fun at THE Port Hackathon@CERN: Sophy team

• Lorena Lobato Pardavila (Universidad de Oviedo (ES))

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre THE Port problem-solving workshop - also known as a hackathon / makeathon - took place at CERN during the weekend of 14th-15th October. This year I had the opportunity to participate as member of the Pier58, more popularly known as Sophy team. What humanitarian problem did hack? Did we manage to carry out the project? And the most important what were our impressions about The Port experience?

LabVIEW: what is it and why is it used?

• Odd Oyvind Andreassen (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre LabVIEW is a complicated acronym for Lab Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench. Something catchy would have been better, because it is a programming language that lets you define your code graphically. From low level data acquisition to high level result presentation, you can perform everything with the same programming method and it makes programming fun.

openlab reading clubs - fostering critical thinking and constructive communication

• Omar Awile (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre Critical thinking and constructive communication are becoming essential skills not only for academics and scientists, but also for the general public. As we are being inundated with news, being able to understand, interpret, and filter information becomes increasingly important. Furthermore, we are more often confronted with profound scientific, technical, economic, and ethical questions on which we have to base decisions: Should GMO plants be approved? Why should we care about encrypted communication? Is a globalized or isolationist economy more advantageous to us? At the openlab HTCC collaboration, we have started a reading club in the context of academic articles on scientific computing to practice precisely these skills and to gain more knowledge in this field. This is especially important for the doctoral students in our collaboration, allowing them to better set their project into a greater context and compare to related works.

LunchCollider - a wholly new social experience at CERN

• Piotr Nikiel (CERN)

Room: 31/3-004 - IT Amphitheatre A story of how an application brought new dimension to social life at CERN.
