NDC Melbourne

Presenter: Adam CoganLocation: MelbourneType: ConferencesCategory: Other

NDC Melbourne is a 3-day developers conference taking place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 29 April - 1 May 2025.

There will be awesome workshops and presentations by some of the world's leading developer trainers and speakers.

See the Agenda here: https://ndcmelbourne.com/agenda

Learn how AI can change the game in an important scenario. The age-old battle between Product Owners and Developers rages on: POs push for speed, while devs demand clarity. When specs are too vague, developers waste time making assumptions. When specs are too detailed, POs get bogged down in documentation.

The result? Context switching, frustration, and a backlog filled with half-baked work items.

In this talk, Adam Cogan will show how AI powered tools like YakShaver (for GitHub and Azure DevOps) and recently Loom (for Jira) can act as the ultimate peacemaker.

These tools capture discussions, structuring work items, and ensuring that every backlog item is ready… and assigned to the right backlog—all automatically.

Learn the lessons from deploying AI to solve one of the most persistent struggles in software development. This talk will show you how AI brings balance to your team.

Bonus: See how a solution can be:

  • better with Microsoft Teams to capture audio + video, and leverage Whisper for transcription, all glued together with GPT-4o to generate structured content.
  • have a decision-tree architecture with Semantic Kernel orchestration to enable seamless integration with Azure DevOps, GitHub, and more.

Join us for an exciting and hands-on mini conference at SSW Melbourne! This event will bring together developers, content creators, and tech enthusiasts for an afternoon filled with inspiring talks, practical workshops, and networking opportunities. With topics ranging from GitHub tips with MishManners, to creating documentation sites with TinaCMS, this is the perfect chance to deepen your knowledge, learn new skills, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Then unwind at the TinaCon After Party with refreshing drinks, and lively networking—celebrate a day of innovation in style!

Join us fresh from NDC Melbourne with special speaker Poornima Nayar! ➡️ Choosing the Right Messaging Solution for Your Architecture

Asynchronous messaging is becoming increasingly popular in the architecture of distributed systems. And why not, when you have the benefits of increased scalability, fault-tolerance, performance, and decoupling? From ordering your latest gadget to dealing with mission-critical, high-performance systems - messaging is gaining traction.

A message queue is the most critical infrastructure in distributed systems that use messaging. There are plenty of choices, ranging from databases to cloud solutions. But how do you decide what is the best fit for your organization and your system?

Join me as I discuss some of the most popular queuing systems - benefits, trade-offs and gotchas, with code samples. By the end of this session, attendees will have a clear understanding of each system's strengths and weaknesses and will be equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions on the best messaging solution for their specific application architecture.

Agenda: 6:00pm - Pizza and networking at SSW Sydney 6:30pm - The Tech news with Eve and Adam Cogan, followed by ⭐ Choosing the Right Messaging Solution for Your Architecture with Poornima Nayar

MCP: Ensuring Our Tools Are Ready for the Robot Overlords

Presenter: Anton PolkanovLocation: NewcastleType: User GroupsCategory: Artificial Intelligence

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly gaining traction as a pivotal standard for integrating LLMs with real-world tools and data sources. By providing a structured, context-rich interface, MCP enables AI agents to interact seamlessly with external systems, enhancing their utility and effectiveness.

In this session, we'll delve into the core concepts of MCP, explore its architecture, and demonstrate how to build and publish your own MCP server. We'll also cover advanced features like Server-Sent events and the new A2A protocol, along with essential security considerations.

Whether you're currently working with AI or planning to, this talk will equip you with the knowledge to make your systems LLM-compatible.
