Information on the Application Developer Workshop Event:

Recent volatility in the financial markets makes it even more important that trading applications are optimised to run in low latency computing environments.

With the recent volatility in the financial markets, traded volumes have grown exponentially with trading spikes becoming a regular market feature. More than ever before, electronic trading systems need to behave in a predictable way and be highly reliable even under extreme loads. The workshops offer some practical insights into how to achieve these objectives while keeping the development cycle manageable and within governance best practice.

This workshop will show you technologies and techniques to develop applications for low latency environments.
