Luxoft TechTalks - video podcasts from world IT gurus and more

Luxoft Tech Talks is a new series of English-language video podcasts on our YouTube channel, in which IT gurus from Luxoft and others share their knowledge and discuss the latest trends and current technologies. Videos will be released 1-2 times a month.

Now available on the channel:

• Luxoft Tech Talk with Hanno Embregts — Will Git Be Around Forever? A List of Possible Successors

What version control system did you use in 2010? Perhaps it was Git if you adopted it early, or were a Linux devotee. You probably used Subversion because that's what most developers used at the time. Ten years later, Git has overtaken its competitors in popularity. You can’t help but wonder: what will happen in another ten years? In this episode, we thought about what version control system features will be needed in 2030. Higher speed? Better collaboration support? Fully automatic resolution of merge conflicts?

• Luxoft Tech Talk with Stanimira Vlaeva – NativeScript: Architecture Overview

NativeScript is an open source framework for developing apps on Android and iOS using simple JavaScript, Angular or Vue. In this webinar we will look at the implementation of NativeScript from a technical point of view. We will discuss:

• implementation of JavaScript engines (V8 and JavaScriptCore);
• establishing a connection between the JavaScript and Android/iOS desktop environments for access to the Native API;
• integration of Angular and NativeScript.

• Luxoft Tech Talks with Rex Black - Code Coverage Metrics

Testers and programmers are increasingly using tools that provide metrics on the volume of code tested. These metrics show how much code the test suite covered and, more importantly, what conditions were not included in the test. Some tools also provide insights into the complexity, and thus the likely challenges, of future code refactorings. In this presentation, Rex explains some of the metrics for tested code size:

• statement coverage;
• coverage by branches of conditional statements (decision coverage);
• modified condition/decision coverage method;
• cyclomatic complexity according to McCabe (McCabe Cyclomatic Complexity);
• basis path coverage.

Rex will tell you how to use metrics to write better code or tests, and will also illustrate this with real programs.

The choice of topics for future TechTalks is largely up to you. What technologies and topics would you still be interested in? Which speakers would you like to see at future TechTalks? Leave your wishes in the comments and subscribe to the channelso as not to miss new videos.
