An Error Occurred: UX for Developers
Have you ever used a piece of software only to encounter the dreaded "An Error Occurred" and no other messaging? Or the other extreme - the dreaded blue screen of death? What about the hover menus on websites that seem to disappear when you try to select something? As developers, what seems like a good idea for user experience (UX) may not be good. In this talk, we will look at better error messaging and other UX considerations for our applications. This presentation is written by a developer very familiar with UX who wants to share these tips to other devs!
Target audience: Developers who need guidance on user experiences
Delivery time: 45 minutes - 1 hour

From Legacy Monolith to Microservices via Event Storming
It can be overwhelming to take a legacy monolith and split it into microservices, especially if the code seems messy. However, conversations with techies and non-techies over policies and process through an exercise called Event Storming can help ease your migration from a monolith to microservices. In this session, you will learn about Event Storming in the context of breaking down a legacy monolith eCommerce system into microservices.
