2nd Devz Meetup Varaždin

TBH, I wasn’t aware that something like this (meetups) exists “near” me (yeah, I hear you: “Where do you live, man?!”.), so I didn’t make it to the 1st one. All in all, kudos for the organizers and looking forward to the next one! As I usually do with posts about conferences, I’ll share my notes that I took in my notebook and a few pictures.

There were 3 talks and a Voogle 2016 conference announcement on this meetup:

  • Information security and why should you care
  • Introduction to VueJS
  • Startup accelerator experiences

 

Information security and why should you care

  • presenter: doc.dr.sc.  Tonimir Kišasondi
  • this was a very intriguing talk, that delivered on the authors expectations – it made me start thinking more about security! So, thank you!
  • thumb_IMG_5997_1024
  • problem is related to security ecosystem
  • after a company survives an attack it looses about 40% clients
  • exploit kit
  • it seems that we aren’t only good at sports ;). “Share of internet users who experienced security related problems in the EU Member States in 2015” – we hold position #1

  • ISO 27000 (commercial), BSI (free)
  • OWASP ASVSP – must read!
  • SANS critical security checklist
  • Bitstamp incident
  • DREAD assesment risk model

 

Introduction to VueJS

  • presenter: Bruno Škvorc
  • speaker shared his views of why he thinks VueJS has the potential to become the best front end JS framework
  • thumb_IMG_6003_1024
  • Well, I guess that every new-shiny-JavaScript-framework talk has to show this slide 🙂

  • it’s very easy to use and master (1-2 days)
  • you can have an app on literally one element
  • only focused on web
  • everything is a component and has it’s own JS, HTML and CSS
  • the simplest example (jsFiddle here): 
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title></title>
	<script src="http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/vue/1.0.16/vue.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
</head>
<body>

	<div id="demo">
	  <p>{{message}}</p>
	  <input v-model="message">
	</div>

	<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
		var demo = new Vue({
		  el: '#demo',
		  data: {
		    message: 'Hello Vue.js!'
		  }
		})		
	</script>	

</body>
</html>
  • vue-router and vue-resource are must from the start

 

Startup accelerator experiences

  • presenter: Zvonimir Dimovski
  • speaker shared his experience with startup accelerator Eleven Accelerator
  • you have to deal with C.R.A.P:
    • C – critisism
    • R – rejection
    • A – assholes
    • P – pressure
  • if you get founded you get 100k € for 6 months, with investor owning 8%
