BcnDevCon 2011: Security, Mobile and our Release Process

Diego MuñozSenior Fronted Engineer

Two weeks ago we were platinum sponsors of the Barcelona Developers Conference 2011, spending three days assisting to developer and entrepeneur talks but also speaking on three different tracks.

The 17th I spoke about how Tuenti release workflow works, both from the development perspective and from a broader devops and testing one. I detailed some of the opensource tools we use, the reasons why and some bottlenecks or problems we’ve run into.

On the 18th our Backend Framework and Security Lead gave a talk about security: Common web attack vectors, how they work, how to prevent them and some specific countermeasures we apply.

And finally, on the 19th our Mobile Core Tech Lead gave an interesting talk about the evolution of Tuenti’s Mobile site, challenges you face when you build for such a broad and varied device segment and how we try to give the best experience on each of them.

More or less at the same time, Pedro Álvarez and Diana López from the Apps Platform team, gave a presentation at the Universidad de Alcalá de Henares, during the first national RITSI event on Agile Methodologies and Cloud Computing. Their talk: Tuenti, from idea to the web, was a great success.
