Raju Gandhi
Research Triangle Software Symposium
Raleigh · August 21 - 22, 2015
Founder, DefMacro Software
Raju is a software craftsman with almost 20 years of hands-on experience scoping, architecting, designing, implementing full stack applications.
He provides a 360 view of the development cycle, is proficient in a variety of programming languages and paradigms, experienced with software development methodologies, as well an expert in infrastructure and tooling.
He has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).
Raju is a published author, internationally known public speaker and trainer.
Raju can be found on Twitter as @looselytyped.
In his spare time, you will find Raju reading, playing with technology, or spending time with his wonderful (and significantly better) other half.
Presentations
Web Apps with AngularJS - Part I
In this session, we will take a look at Angular - the powerful MVVM SPA framework from Google. We will discuss some of the terminology that Angular offers, and see how we can use that to develop highly interactive, dynamic web applications. See “Detail” for a list of topics I cover and the Github repo URL

RESTing in AngularJS
Asynchronous AJAX calls, especially those that deal with REST principles are something that all client side frameworks support, and AngularJS is no different. However, in order to truly benefit from AngularJS's support for asynchronous calls, one must understand the various moving parts that make this a reality. This includes promises (with AngularJS' $q library), $http and $resource.
Learning to Learn
In this session we will look to see how we can refactor our learning - what tools, and methodologies can we use to help us learn quicker and better - how we can create a store that gives us quick access to information when we really need it.
Get things DONE!
Find yourself overwhelmed with hundreds of to-dos? Is your hard-drive littered with dozens of killer ideas that you started with enthusiasm and then just fizzled away? Do you feel like you are moving as fast as can but only getting to the wrong place quicker? Well perhaps this session will help.
