DevOps, .NET, Azure and all of the automation involved for a complete DevOps environment can be daunting. In this talk, Jeffrey Palermo provides prescriptive guidance for developers to fall into the "pit of success" when creating automated DevOps pipelines for complex .NET apps targeting Azure.
Many developers have built queue-based systems before - whether on-premises with things like RabbitMQ or in the cloud with SQS.
As you know, lots of companies and developers use AWS to build their stuff. This means experience in using AWS can really be beneficial. But it sure is hard to get started alone...
Your conscience: “You need to learn to write mobile apps already.”
Ever wanted to write mobile apps for iPhones and Android? Maybe you found Objective-C/Swift or Java/Kotlin intimidating? Or maybe you tried it with Xamarin but just thought it kind of meh? I feel you! It’s hard to get started. It’s confusing.
This month we are once again hosting two events, one for adults, and one for kids. Both will involved the micro:bit. The micro:bit is a business card sized computer. This tiny computer will allow you to learn how code while having tons of fun.
Helping people learn is fun for us and useful for them. It's also a very effective way to advance your career. Many higher-level development leadership roles expect you to be able to help other developers improve. You can mentor in several ways (e.g.
# Building Full-Stack Solutions with C# & ASP.NET Core 3.0
In this meeting, David L. Penton will discuss creating and running .NET Core apps that compile and run on both Mac and Windows, some basics of .NET Core, the .NET Core CLI, and different deployment models (framework dependent vs. self-contained deployments).
It is summer time and so it's the time for fun! We're going to keep the game dev fun going for another month. Join us if you can.
When Amir was a kid, his first introduction to programming was through building games using VB6. You may have a similar story of coding for the first time, making some form of digital interactive media.
This is a hands-on exercise, so bring your laptop. You don't have to have anything installed.
Elasticsearch and Kibana are easily my most favorite tools that I've started using over the last year. I want to show you how to use them. Elasticsearch is an easy-to-use distributed full-text search and analytics engine.
No matter your back end technology, TypeScript is a great choice for your rich Web front end. And if you are using Node.js, then it's great for the back end too. Far from being "JavaScript for C# developers", TypeScript honors the idioms of the JavaScript ecosystem.
In the last meeting we practiced CSS layout, discussed how the display property works, and learned how to use floats effectively. In this session we will discuss Flexbox, a newer way to do CSS layout. This is a hands-on activity, so bring you computer. Be ready to code.
CSS Layout can be a bit difficult at times, but with a little guided practice you can learn the principles and start effectively using CSS to layout your web pages today. And in this session, guided practice is exactly what we are going to do.
Want to write your first cross-platform mobile application? Join us to learn how to write a mobile application using C# with Xamarin.Forms. Bring your laptop and follow along whether you are using Visual Studio or Visual Studio for Mac.
As developers, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the amount of new information in our field that we think we need to learn. What usually causes us to be overwhelmed is that we don’t have a clear idea of where we want to go.
Interviews can be stressful but practice helps. This month we are gathering together to help each other out by giving mock interviews. Well, mostly mock interviews as there will be people interviewing that are looking for people to hire.
There is always something to learn about GIT, whether you are new to it or have been using it for many years. Amir will facilitate a workshop to show how to effectively use git.
