Our first Lightning Talk at Classmethod Danang

On January 15 2025, we hosted our very first Lightning Talk event with speakers from both Classmethod Japan and Classmethod Danang. This was our first attempt at this concise and focused presentation format, and it turned out to be a resounding success.

Key Highlights

The event featured three presentations, each lasting approximately 5 minutes, centered around practical and engaging topics:

1. OpenID Connect

Speaker: Kudo Toshiya from Classmethod Japan

This opening presentation offered a deep dive into OpenID Connect and how it complements OAuth 2.0.

The speaker highlighted the key differences between the two technologies, providing valuable insights into their real-world applications.

2. Exploring Cache Problems in Real-life Applications

Speaker: Tuan Phan V. Q. from Classmethod Danang

This talk explored common caching issues, including Cache Avalanche, Cache Penetration, and Cache Breakdown.

The speaker shared not only the challenges but also practical strategies and solutions to mitigate these risks effectively.

3. Time Management

Speaker: Vinh Dang Q. from Classmethod Danang

The final presentation focused on popular time management techniques, such as the Pareto Principle, Pomodoro Technique, Time Management Matrix, and various supporting tools.

The speaker provided real-life examples and actionable tips for implementing these techniques in daily work.

Mini Game: Practicing Time Management

Following the presentations, we introduced a Mini Game to help participants practice time-management in a fun and interactive way.

• Game Title: "Complete the Tasks in 10 Minutes"
• Objective: Successfully complete a list of 5 small tasks within 10 minutes.
• Rules:
  1. Each team of two was given a list of tasks
  2. Teams had to plan and allocate tasks efficiently using time management techniques like the Matrix or Pareto Principle at the start.
  3. Time limit: 10 minutes.
• Outcome: This activity not only encouraged teamwork but also gave participants hands-on experience with effective time management practices.

Here are some of the photos captured during the game.

Future Prospects

This launching Lightning Talk event was not only a platform for knowledge sharing but also a space for fostering connections and learning from one another. The Mini Game was particularly well-received for its high interactivity and practical value.

We are especially looking forward to more collaboration and knowledge exchange with both companies, whose opening presentation set a strong tone for the event.

A heartfelt thank you to all the speakers and attendees who contributed to the success of this event.

We look forward to seeing you at our future events!
