// Tony Edwards - Beats, Rhymes and Unit Tests
Speech recognition is all around us. From the smartphones in our pockets to the devices at the heart of our digital homes, we’re never far from speech recognition technology. Not only does it enable new ways of interacting with computers, it’s also set to reshape Human Computer Interaction for people requiring assistive technologies.
The humble web browser is no exception. The speechRecognitionAPI enables developers to incorporate advanced speech interactions into today’s web applications. But is it any good? Combining two of his passions, Tony sets out to discover if the speechRecognitionAPI can be used as an aid in transcribing hip-hop lyrics during the writing process.
After an introduction to the broader technology, a mix of audio, video and live performance tells the tale of creating an MVP transcription application to aid in the writing of new songs. As a development project, each iteration of the app is accompanied by a set of unit tests. The final unit test is executed live, resulting in a crescendo you won’t want to miss.

// Andrew Chaa - Domain Driven Design: From Event Storming to Real Working APIs
We will start from event storming. We will define what events we have and what behaviours they are going to trigger. Then we will build an API app with ASP.NET Core. We will use Mediatr and Mediator pattern to define our domain events and event handlers. The stormed-out business process will guide and drive our code. With this session, I'd like to share the practical journey from event storming to an actual working microservice. This wouldn't be about in-depth event storming or API design. It will be more of raw, down-to-earth, no-bullshit, no unicorn but super-real showcase of Domain Driven Design in action.
The session will consists of
•Event Storming with sticky notes
•Building APIs with Mediatr
•Introduce Domain Objects and DTOs
•Unit testing through public interfaces
