Remote Software Development Hivemind Technologies AG About Hivemind Technologies AG Remote Software Development Hivemind Technologies AG About Hivemind Technologies AG Small software consultancy from Cologne, Germany A distributed, diverse & multi-cultural team Work 100% remotely since 2018 Focus on scalable, functional programming in the cloud Provide consulting, development & training What's in it for you? In this workshop we want to share with you our successes & failures from over two years of working remotely: Lessons learnt & techniques to overcome the communication hurdle Less-known tools beyond slack & zoom to boost productivity Effective workflows of remote development Structure The workshop lasts 8h (1h break) and will be held remotely via Zoom, Google Meet or Slack. We believe that interactive workshops result in a better learning experiences & more fun. That's why we will do multiple, diverse exercises in this workshop. Up-front we will ask you for some info to adapt the workshop to your particular tech stack & process. We speak Outline Remote is the new black Remote coding tools & techniques Conflict handling Agile workflows Zen level of remote working Summary Remote is the new black A short introduction on why we love remote, why we never want to go back to on-site, and what benefits we draw from it apart from being able to work in underwear Remote coding tools & techniques Works on my machine! How to set up reproducible development environments that make your co-workers happy and get them up-and-running instantly. Exercises: Setting up a dev environment for your programming language Enhancing the setup with 3rd party services Remote coding tools & techniques Live is life Avoid the "can you type x at line y" video calls and live-code instead. Exercises: Live coding of a small webservice Remote coding tools & techniques Pairs & mobs How to code together. Exercises: Pair & mob programming session Remote coding tools & techniques Boy, that escalated quickly! How to perform friendly code reviews. Exercise: Perform a code review Discuss typical code review situations Remote coding & techniques Blame it on the boogie How to avoid the blame game by keeping record of your decisions. Exercises: Discuss a decision record Write a decision record Conflict handling Your ego is not your amigo Do's & Don'ts of team communication Deescalation techniques Exercises: Role play of conflict situations Discussion of common scenarios Agile workflows How to move your Scrum/Kanban process online Exercises: Perform an interactive retro Zen level of remote working The different levels of remote working. How to become truly asynchronous. How to choose the right tools for the right job. Example content Remote coding tools & techniques A polyglot world Software development is becoming increasingly polyglot: Programming languages, e.g JavaScript, Purescript, Elm for UI Haskell, Scala, F# for backend Kotlin, Swift for apps Rust, Go for systems level programming HCL, Typescript for IaC A polyglot world Third party services to interact with Different databases for different needs (SQL, document stores, key-value stores, ...) Queues for message/event driven architectures Monitoring, logging services External Rest, GraphQL, gRPC (saas-)services Cloud infrastructure & services Working development environments A working development environment is ever more important, especially in the context of remote working. It should: contain everything needed be reproducible & isolated have minimal complexity Wouldn't it be cool if I could just check out a project repository and simply start working? Batteries included Microsoft's Visual Studio Code introduced a new concept called dev containers that allow to develop within a container. At Hivemind we have become big supporters of dev containers and use them extensively throughout our projects. They allow us to easily share complete and fully-functional dev environments. How it works Visual Studio Code documentation on 2020-05-12 Requirements Install Visual Studio Code from https://code.visualstudio.com/ Install the Remote Development Extensions Dev container structure # VS Code configuration (ide extensions, container to use) .devcontainer.json # Container configuration (compiler, tools, dependencies) Dockerfile # Other services docker-compose.yml Let's start! Exercise 1: Create a dev container set up for your programming language..

  • Curriculum Vitae
    Diogo Castro Curriculum Vitae Summary I’m a Software Engineer based in Belfast, United Kingdom. My professional journey began as a C# developer, but Functional Programming (FP) soon piqued my interest and led me to learn Scala, Haskell, PureScript and even a bit of Idris. I love building robust, reliable and maintainable applications. I also like teaching and I’m a big believer in "paying it forward". I’ve learned so much from many inspiring people, so I make it a point to share what I’ve learned with others. To that end, I’m currently in charge of training new team members in Scala and FP, do occasional presentations at work and aim to do more public speaking. I blog about FP and Haskell at https://diogocastro.com/blog. Experience Nov 2017-Present Principal Software Engineer, SpotX, Belfast, UK. Senior Software Engineer, SpotX, Belfast, UK. Developed RESTful web services in Scala, using the cats/cats-effect framework and Akka HTTP. Used Apache Kafka for publishing of events, and Prometheus/Grafana for monitor- ing. Worked on a service that aimed to augment Apache Druid, a timeseries database, with features such as access control, a safer and simpler query DSL, and automatic conversion of monetary metrics to multiple currencies. Authored a Scala library for calculating the delta of any two values of a given type using Shapeless, a library for generic programming. Taught a weekly internal Scala/FP course, with the goal of preparing our engineers to be productive in Scala whilst building an intuition of how to program with functions and equational reasoning.

  • Haskell-Like S-Expression-Based Language Designed for an IDE
    Department of Computing Imperial College London MEng Individual Project Haskell-Like S-Expression-Based Language Designed for an IDE Author: Supervisor: Michal Srb Prof. Susan Eisenbach June 2015 Abstract The state of the programmers’ toolbox is abysmal. Although substantial effort is put into the development of powerful integrated development environments (IDEs), their features often lack capabilities desired by programmers and target primarily classical object oriented languages. This report documents the results of designing a modern programming language with its IDE in mind. We introduce a new statically typed functional language with strong metaprogramming capabilities, targeting JavaScript, the most popular runtime of today; and its accompanying browser-based IDE. We demonstrate the advantages resulting from designing both the language and its IDE at the same time and evaluate the resulting environment by employing it to solve a variety of nontrivial programming tasks. Our results demonstrate that programmers can greatly benefit from the combined application of modern approaches to programming tools. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Susan, Sophia and Tristan for their invaluable feedback on this project, my family, my parents Michal and Jana and my grandmothers Hana and Jaroslava for supporting me throughout my studies, and to all my friends, especially to Harry whom I met at the interview day and seem to not be able to get rid of ever since. ii Contents Abstract i Contents iii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Objectives ........................................ 2 1.2 Challenges ........................................ 3 1.3 Contributions ...................................... 4 2 State of the Art 6 2.1 Languages ........................................ 6 2.1.1 Haskell ....................................

  • Top Functional Programming Languages Based on Sentiment Analysis 2021 11
    POWERED BY: TOP FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES BASED ON SENTIMENT ANALYSIS 2021 Functional Programming helps companies build software that is scalable, and less prone to bugs, which means that software is more reliable and future-proof. It gives developers the opportunity to write code that is clean, elegant, and powerful. Functional Programming is used in demanding industries like eCommerce or streaming services in companies such as Zalando, Netflix, or Airbnb. Developers that work with Functional Programming languages are among the highest paid in the business. I personally fell in love with Functional Programming in Scala, and that’s why Scalac was born. I wanted to encourage both companies, and developers to expect more from their applications, and Scala was the perfect answer, especially for Big Data, Blockchain, and FinTech solutions. I’m glad that my marketing and tech team picked this topic, to prepare the report that is focused on sentiment - because that is what really drives people. All of us want to build effective applications that will help businesses succeed - but still... We want to have some fun along the way, and I believe that the Functional Programming paradigm gives developers exactly that - fun, and a chance to clearly express themselves solving complex challenges in an elegant code.

  • Functional Programming and Legacy Software
    Functional Programming and Legacy Software Using PureScript to Extend a Legacy JavaScript System Christian Fischer Christian Fischer Fall 2017 Master’s Thesis in Interaction Technology and Design, 30 credits Supervisor: Anders Broberg Examiner: Ola Ringdahl i Abstract Legacy systems are everywhere. Immense resources are placed on fixing problems caused by them, and on legacy system mainte- nance and reverse engineering. After decades of research, a solu- tion has yet to be found. In this thesis, both the viability of us- ing purely functional programming to mitigate problems of legacy systems is investigated, as well as the possibility that purely func- tional programming can lead to code that is less likely to lead to legacy problems in the first place. This was done by develop- ing a genome browser in PureScript that embeds, interfaces with, and extends, an existing genome browser written in JavaScript. The resulting codebase is examined, and various characteristics of purely functional programming, and how they helped solve or avoid problems related to legacy systems, are presented. In Con- clusion, PureScript is found to be an excellent tool for working with legacy JavaScript, and while the nature of the project limits the conclusions that can be drawn, it appears likely that using purely functional programming, especially with a language such as PureScript that provides a powerful type-system for ensuring program correctness, leads to code that is more easily understand- able, and thus avoids the problems of legacy code. ii Acknowledgements This thesis would not have been possible without the support and patience of my supervisor and mentor, Pjotr Prins.

  • VI Purescript
    VI Purescript The main PureScript site is http://www.purescript.org. Installation instructions are here: http://www.purescript.org/learn/getting-started/. Note also the list of editor plugins. This book’s PureScript code is in the purescript subdirectory. Following convention, source is in purescript/src and test code is in purescript/test. This book was written using version 0.11.6. 30. Blundering into PureScript There are a variety of syntactic and naming differences between Elm and PureScript. As far as semantics – behavior – goes, PureScript is mostly a superset of Elm. If this book had stopped after the Elm material, one way to learn PureScript – the way I’d do it – would be to skim through the Elm chapters, trying to do the same things in PureScript. When things broke or behaved funny, I’d do some investigation. By repeating (roughly) the same sequence of learning, I’d expect PureScript ideas to get anchored more firmly in my brain. Also, I’d learn not just syntax and semantics – the stuff of a language manual – but also see how Elm idioms translate into PureScript and how my Elm programming habits and workflow should change for PureScript. This chapter is an idealized and condensed version of such a journey. It highlights what I expect you to stumble over. Instead of making you search for explanations, it provides them immediately. The result is nothing like a complete PureScript reference. That’s the PureScript Language Reference, supplemented by the (free) ebook PureScript by Example. Unsurprisingly, those two sources don’t mention Elm. For comparisons between the two languages that make it easier to find information you once learned but can’t quite remember, see these: • PureScript for Elm Developers, maintained by Marco Sampellegrini.
