Kyle Simpson and Tammy Everts on the challenges of the modern web
The O’Reilly Programming Podcast: Rising barriers to entry, the complexity of the modern web, and a preview of upcoming Fluent sessions.In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with two of the program chairs for the upcoming O’Reilly Fluent Conference (July 11-14 in San Jose), Kyle Simpson and Tammy Everts. Simpson is co-author of the HTML 5 Cookbook, and the author of the You Don’t Know JS series of books. Everts is the chief experience officer at SpeedCurve and the author of Time is Money: The Business Value of Web Performance.Discussion points: Simpson says that one of the biggest challenges facing JavaScript developers is that the previously low barrier to entry has been raised significantly: “JavaScript developers are facing a monumental task of juggling a vast ecosystem of tools and processes that go around, and on top of, and in front of, what used to just be opening a text file and typing JavaScript.” Everts talks about the challenges of designing for the modern web: “The web has become so complex, and the user base and the types of devices and bandwidths that people are experiencing are so incredibly diverse,” she says. “Developers and designers are somehow magically expected to take all these assets, all these scripts and make them perform reliably and consistently on everything from a smartphone over a 2G connection to someone who has blazingly fast internet.” Simpson and Everts preview numerous Fluent sessions and presentations.

Rebecca Parsons on evolutionary architecture
The O’Reilly Programming Podcast: How to build evolvable systems.In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with Rebecca Parsons, chief technology officer at ThoughtWorks. She will be leading the workshop Building Evolutionary Architectures Hands-On at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON), July 16-19, 2018, in Portland, Oregon. Parsons also is co-author (with Neal Ford and Patrick Kua) of the book Building Evolutionary Architectures.Discussion points: The shift in focus to evolvability rather than predictability: “When you look at the way the technology landscape is changing,” Parsons says, “trying to say you can predict any kind of technology roadmap is simply impractical.” Why evolutionary systems need to be easy to understand: “How easy it is to change an architecture directly correlates with how easy it is to understand what’s happening in the system,” she says. The role of fitness functions: “Fitness functions are defining what outcomes we want the architecture to achieve,” Parsons says. “Fitness functions guide our decisions about how we are going to evolve the architecture.” An advocate for diversity in the technology industry, Parsons talks about groups she has worked with, including CodeChix and Women Who Code, and the issues that women in the field continue to face. “The climate and culture in the tech industry is still not a comfortable place for women to be,” she says. “We would like to believe as an industry that we’re a meritocracy, but we’re not. Part of the problem we’re dealing with is that women leave at a significantly greater rate than men do. We can double the number of women who come in, but if they’re leaving at a faster rate, we’re not going to make progress.” Other links: Video of Parsons’ presentation The evolution of evolutionary architectures at the 2016 O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference Parsons praises the work of other groups working to increase diversity, including Black Girls Code and AnitaB.org

Bridget Kromhout on Kubernetes
The O’Reilly Programming Podcast: Containers, orchestrators, and new projects.In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk about Kubernetes, containers, and more with Bridget Kromhout, a principal cloud developer advocate at Microsoft, and a frequent speaker at tech conferences. She will be leading the workshop Kubernetes 101 at the O’Reilly Velocity Conference in San Jose, June 11-14, 2018, and at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON), July 16-19, 2018.Discussion points: The role that Docker played in popularizing containers. “Docker democratized containers and made them more available so that it increased adoption significantly,” Kromhout says. “You didn’t need to be a kernel expert; you could use containers as a developer without needing to focus on kernel features.” The main parts of a Kubernetes architecture, including the master and nodes, and a look at a Kubernetes cluster Some open source projects that are making Kubernetes easier to use, including kubicorn, which makes it possible to manage clusters across clouds. Kromhout’s work as the lead organizer for devopsdays, a worldwide series of technical conferences covering software development, IT infrastructure operations, and the intersection between them. “It’s really a powerful mechanism to let people in an area start sharing across organizations, and figuring out where they can learn from each other,” she says.

Brent Laster on Jenkins 2 and Git
The O’Reilly Programming Podcast: Creating and implementing continuous delivery pipelines.In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk about Jenkins 2 and Git with Brent Laster, who presents a number of live online training courses on these topics (including Building a deployment pipeline with Jenkins 2, and Next level Git). Laster will also present the workshop Power Git at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention, July 16-19, 2018, in Portland, Oregon, and he is the author of the forthcoming O’Reilly book Jenkins 2: Up and Running.Discussion points: The benefits of the pipeline-as-code model, introduced in Jenkins 2. Laster calls it “more of a DevOps take on things. It adds a lot more flexibility around creating your pipelines, and allows you to treat them like source code.” The differences between continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, the topic of a 2017 report by Laster The Groovy-based Jenkins DSL, and Blue Ocean, Jenkins’ visual interface Jenkins’ GitHub organization project type, which “really makes it easy to scale up the automatic creation of jobs,” says Laster. “You can point Jenkins at a GitHub organization, and it can go out and look at each project, and then within each project, scan for Jenkinsfile.” Other links: The online training course Migrating Jenkins Environments to Jenkins 2, presented by Laster Laster’s book Professional Git

Richard Warburton and Raoul-Gabriel Urma on Java 8 and Reactive Programming
The O’Reilly Programming Podcast: Building reactive applications.In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with Richard Warburton and Raoul-Gabriel Urma of Iteratr Learning. They are the presenters of a series of O’Reilly Learning Paths, including Getting Started with Reactive Programming and Build Reactive Applications in Java 8.
