As an IT professional, you're probably in an organisation still figuring out how to implement DevOps. Maybe you have specialist DevOps roles or teams, or maybe you've just renamed some job titles. Regardless, there are fundamentals you should understand and practices you should adopt if you want DevOps to work.

This session will cover the fundamentals, why they matter, and how to effectively apply them regardless of your industry, size, or structure.

Not only does GraphQL give us the power to ask for exactly what we want, but it also exposes data in a way that is more aligned with the way we humans think about data.

Over the last ten years, GraphQL has progressed from an internal project at Facebook to become the mainstream way for modern applications to interact with the backend. The ecosystem has grown phenomenally, and major players like Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, and Microsoft are committed to GraphQL.

Learn what GraphQL is and what the benefits are of using GraphQL over technologies like REST? Together we will dive deep into GraphQL and explore how it can solve the issues we face with traditional data fetching technologies.

In this talk, we will build a GraphQL backend for a modern application with ASP.NET Core and Hot Chocolate. We will dive into GraphQL mutation, GraphQL subscriptions, and DataLoader; we will look at what is coming next in GraphQL with defer and stream, client-controlled nullability, and OneOf Input Objects.

As we look at everyday use cases, we will learn GraphQL’s best practices and patterns.

If you like, bring your laptop and code along as we not only look at the concepts but go headfirst and apply them in some coding exercises.

In this session I will share practical tips, resources and frameworks that I've developed and used in my previous tech leadership, HR and most recently training specialist roles to help you implement best practices regardless of the technology stack you are using.

Building skills and creating communities

Whilst you can optimise hardware and leverage cost models to reduce cost and optimise hardware, it does nothing from a Co/2 point of view.

Have you considered the programming language you use as that 'Hello World' can take up to 3x more energy in some every popular programming languages.

But it also feels a little unattainable for us mere mortals. How do we apply some of what they've done to our "less-than-ideal" code? How do we know if our efforts actually make a difference? And how much time and energy do we need to invest to make a difference in the first place?

We're going to find out! We'll grab some code from the internet. We'll explorer it together. We'll see what it's doing... and then we'll make some changes. We'll even see if we make things better or worse! Hopefully it'll be better, right?!

This session is aimed at the everyday developer looking for techniques and approaches to make their pigs run faster.

A mortal's guide to making a pig run faster

My dear mum relies on lip reading and clear sounds to understand what people are saying. But I, of course want her to stay safe. So the thought occurred. Can I make a live captioning display fit into a mask so that she can read what I'm saying as I'm speaking?

This talk will cover how to build a wearable LED display, how to use Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services to convert speech to text, using Ably's MQTT broker to send messages to a microprocessor and some good old JavaScript and C++.

Live captioning of speech to text has so many useful applications and Cognitive Services makes it fast and easy to build captioning into your applications. Together with Ably Realtime, it is possible to make wearable devices which can display what you’re saying, in real time. Wearable Live Captions!

Wearable Live Captions (making mask wearing more accessible for those who are hard of hearing)

JavaScript

We'll deal with how machine code really works, how it's translated to opcodes, and how real time emulation works, all in this hour-long deep dive into emulation in .NET.

Expect to learn about low level emulation, software porting, building debuggers and why you should always do things for fun.

As software permeates ever wider through our lives, the cost of failure gets higher. Societies are becoming cashless, and doctors are carrying a different kind of tablet. Smart phones have led us to smart homes. In a world where everything is connected, it’s time to learn from the industries where disasters are avoided at all costs. And in the face of disaster, instinctively running toward scrutiny rather than away from it.

This talk is not doom and gloom. It is a practical look at the methods and insights that almost 100 years of investigating commercial aviation disasters can teach us as software engineers.

Mayday! Software lessons from aviation disasters.

Learn how to keep your users safe as we discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of modern authentication mechanisms for the Web.

This talk is aimed at anyone passingly familiar with web development, with an interest in security, or who simply wants to know what’s really going on when you ‘sign in with Google’.

Security

In this session I will show how to set up an application architecture, using C#, for serverless on AWS. I'll touch on topics like Serverless Compute, Storage, Databases and serverless Identity Management.

No, I don't need servers for .NET development in AWS!

Microsoft

Serverless

This session will start off with a tour of powerful features like lookup types, mapped types, and conditional types that allow TypeScript types to be highly expressive. These features will incrementally build on each other till we arrive at the full ability to explore the built-in Type Utilities in TypeScript like Partial, Readonly, Omit, Exclude, etc. We will also look at how you can build your own utilities.

We wrap up with real-world libraries that make use of these powerful type functions to provide typesafe schema validation and RPC style API calls over HTTP.

Advanced TypeScript Type Utilities

Languages

In addition, there is lots of confusing terminology and technical concepts and it’s a space that’s evolving rapidly and hard to keep up with. As technologists we were curious what all the fuss was about so we spent months researching the space to understand the good, bad and ugly and make up our own mind, and we did it with an ethical, pragmatic lens.

In this presentation, we'll explore the culture war, cover the comprehensive set of issues we found with space and describe a comprehensive decision framework we created against these issues. As part of that decision framework, we will articulate the pragmatical and ethical implications of participating in this space for each consideration and talk about the stance that we decided to take as a company. Our hope is this serves as a useful resource for individuals and companies to make informed decisions about what you are and aren't comfortable engaging with in this space.

The software supply-chain consists of a lot of moving parts. Each of them facing their own security risks starting from access to source code, compromised third-party libraries and tools, or even hacked build servers. For example with SolarWinds the compromised build server added malicious functionality to the end product used by their customers. And a tool called CodeCov had their upload script compromised which resulted in it stealing all used access-keys.

In this session we'll get hands-on with securing a .NET application it's supply chain and look how we can limit the security risks in all the different area's. We're going to use the guidance of Google's SLSA and using concepts like Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM).


Securing your .NET application software supply-chain

This is the talk I wish I could have heard before I embarked on a journey of building inclusion. I’ll step through what to do (and what not do), with a sprinkle of real world stories.

People with different software and tech backgrounds will benefit from this session regardless of their career stage. I’ll discuss how you as an individual can achieve goals, but I’ll also help guide any staff who are in management positions on how they can work towards these goals.

Join me for an informative and tangible take on inclusion where you can learn from my mistakes and learn how to build inclusion into your organisation.

Building inclusion into organisations: field experience

Great development teams might establish the skeleton project and initial pipeline in a few days, others may take weeks. But what if it was possible to go from new app to production in 45 minutes?

In this talk, I will demonstrate a highly specialised approach to rapidly deliver a new app to production in 45 minutes. This app will include built-in features to reduce development effort. I will show you how to efficiently leverage the best practices, tools, and automation so that you can adopt, adapt, and apply this approach to your next project!

Rapid Solution Development with ASP.NET Core Blazor WebAssembly

I was a skeptic but now I'm an advocate for using GraphQL in building your apps, so what made me change my opinion of this technology?

Come on a journey where we'll look at what GraphQL is, why it's an interesting and relevant technology in building applications. We'll do a compare and contrast with REST, discuss the pros and cons that GraphQL represents and see how we can uplift existing APIs to be GraphQL without having to rewrite our entire codebase.

GraphQL is just APIs for hipsters, right?

In this session, we'll explain how Codespaces works, walk through how to get started, and show you plenty of tips and tricks to help you be super productive. Come learn how to set up your ideal dev environment in the cloud!

Coding in the Cloud with GitHub Codespaces

Instead we rely on eventual consistency. But for an even driven architecture, what does "relying on eventual consistency" mean in practice? Drawing on Pat Helland's paper "Life Beyond Distributed Transactions", in this presentation we will look at:

- The two approaches we can take towards ensuring eventual consistency: choreography and orchestration, and the trade off between them.

- Why asynchronous approaches are more reliable. - What to do if things go wrong or compensation, and the different strategies we have from retry to reservation. - How we deal with stale data.

- Why we can only ever promise "at least once", and how we offer "at least once." Finally, we will demo the Outbox, using the .NET OSS library Brighter and EF Core, to show how you can ensure "at least once".

At Least Once

Along the way you'll learn many tips and techniques for effective modern Blazor app building. This will include using some brand-new JavaScript APIs and .NET 7 features. Plus, we'll have a strong focus on maximizing performance. We'll even get to use some major *future* Blazor WebAssembly features including real multithreading.

This is a mid-level or advanced talk which assumes you already have some web, .NET, or Blazor background.

 Let's build a media app with Blazor

In this session, Michelle Mannering from GitHub will show you some of the tips and tricks of how best you can use GitHub, and also walk you through some of the latest feature announcements. Coming out of this session, you can GitHub like a boss!

It is easy to sign into the Azure portal, click around and create a bunch of services. The aim is to avoid ClickOps wherever possible.

Developers love to follow best practices that help them build great enterprise software. As Cloud Architects working with Azure, we should include practices for how to design enterprise solutions well, choose the right services and be cognizant of your cloud spend.


Adam Cogan will walk through the 10 things you need to know to become a great Azure Cloud Architect.

This session will be a dive into the details of .NET DLLs, how they work, how Roslyn compiles deltas for them, and how the runtime applies them. All of that wonderful information you've always wanted to know, but were too afraid to ask! You'll learn absolutely nothing about JavaScript, microservices, or anything else your company actually uses, but at least you'll have a better understanding of what's in a .NET DLL, and a better idea of ILSpy is showing you next time you run it.

How does Hot Reload even work?

While the classical models still work and have their own merits, some of them rely heavily on documentation, extensive coordination between teams or code-sharing. We use shared libraries, and over time our projects become intertwined with dependencies. In these cases, we need something to untangle those and reduce coupling. Welcome gRPC.

gRPC has been around for a while and .NET Core 3.0 welcomes it as a first-class citizen. It is contract-based, performant - with smaller response/request bodies, perfect for polyglot environments and supports different models – from client-server, to bi-directional streaming out of the box.
In this session, we will look at how to use gRPC and its 4 models and what are the benefits and or downsides of using gRPC compared to the traditional models.

Embracing gRPC in .NET

If anything, we’ve seen the incalculable value of innovative thinking, because a global pandemic certainly provides enormous motivation to leave the status quo behind. That said, how do you overthrow the status quo without sacrificing quality and security in the process? Learn the three key words needed (Recognize, Resolve, and Respond) to strike this delicate balance in this challenge for you to shift your paradigm, facilitate innovation, and be a catalyst for change rather than an antagonist.

Has COVID-19 made you see the need to adopt a more agile way of thinking? Where is your development strategy now? Where do you want it to be as the industry recovers from this worldwide crisis? Do you intend to get it there by using the same methods that haven't worked? It has been said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results. Is that how you want your legacy to be remembered? Do you project an image of being part of the problem or part of the solution? Find out how to be a catalyst for change (facilitating innovation) and NOT an antagonist (frustrating innovation). Discover three types of flexibility in leadership and work/life balance needed to make that happen in the aftermath of COVID-19.

In this demo-rich session, we'll cover the key components of Azure Container Apps and compare Container Apps to existing container platforms on Azure. We'll then go over how to deploy an Azure Container Apps environment and how we can deploy and update our containers to Container Apps, monitor the health of our containers, handle logging and how we can secure our Container Apps.

By the end of this session, you'll learn how you can develop your container workloads on Azure Container Apps without having to deal the complexities of Kubernetes.

She is also able to recognise a person for a more personalised conversation and extract the unrecognised person's name from the conversation and to register their name & face for future encounter, automatically extending her social network :)

Ellee is a generative based chatbot who can converse on various topics such as history, physics, maths, even cooking, movies, sports, etc on par with human conversation intelligence. She really understand what you said and is able to look back to past conversation to generate a contextual response.

This is different to a retrieval based chat bot such as Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa which require a huge database of intent, question/answer to match.

Below are the technology used to built Ellee which I will cover in my talk:

- GPT-3 (conversation generation, name entity extraction)
- MobileNetSSDV2 object detection (human detection)
- Dlib (face detection & recognition)
- NVIDIA Jetson Nano (the embedded hardware platform)
- Amazon Polly (speech syntesizer)
- Google Speech Recognition (voice recognition)
- Servo motors + PWM drivers (head movement)

.NET Everything

Cross-Platform

Using basic concepts we will go through how common machine learning algorithms work from first principles.

If someone were mad enough, they could even apply these basic concepts to build an Artificial Intelligence out of, say, a Microsoft PowerPoint...

But no one in their right mind would be crazy enough to do that.

Based on the Matchbox Educable Noughts And Crosses Engine (MENACE) built by Donald Michie in 1961, this talk strips the complexity and mystery from the black box that is machine learning: Proving that even a PowerPoint (mixed with a few lonely nights and almost 2,000 slides) can be taught the best opening moves of Tic Tac Toe.

Finally, a truly no-code solution for machine learning enthusiasts.

No prior knowledge of Machine Learning, AI, or data science is needed.

The session will include a demo showcasing how we can combat climate change with Kubernetes, e.g. by using event driven autoscaling (KEDA), Kubernetes automatization & optimisation as well as smart development practices.

Join the session to learn how to manage your Kubernetes clusters effectively, see the demos & learn more about green software development.

How Kubernetes optimisation can combat climate change

Yes, there is a formula to make it more likely. We will explore the habits of well known developers outside of their coding chops, to identify what additionally allowed them to become a trusted and known voice in their environment. This approach can be a benefit to you, no matter how junior or senior you are.

The Visible Developer: Why You Shouldn't Blend In

What if we can build applications that do not require passwords for system-to-system authentication? In this session, Henry will show you how you can build an Azure application that uses App Service, Service Bus, two different types of databases, and more - without using a single secret for authentication!

Passwordless authentication on Azure: the answer to building secure solutions

In this talk, join Bryden Oliver as he walks you through how to manage cost.
Some of the topics he'll cover include:
- Managed vs unmanaged services
- Understanding your expected workload
- Choosing the right tier
- Understanding the pricing calculator and Azure pricing pages
- Monitoring, alerting and tuning the costs once deployed
- The hidden costs you may not expect
- Balancing cost with other priorities (like availability or security)
- Starting small and scaling up, understanding how costs will change
There'll be examples and plenty of anecdotes from many years of experience designing large Azure based systems.


Azure on a Budget - Building in the cloud without breaking the bank

While these vulnerabilities are important and we do need to be aware of how to avoid them, they aren’t the only threat we need to consider. We also need to consider the human vulnerabilities, the weaknesses that target the human between the keyboard and chair.

We will look at recent examples of social engineering, such as the attack of Twitter in 2020, and the many stories of cryptocurrency vaults being plundered through SIM-swapping. We’ll also look at password reuse, brute force attacks, and credential stuffing, and even some hardware hacks that fool victims the old-fashioned way. The common thread in all of these cases... The vulnerability existed between a keyboard and chair.

Vulnerability Exists Between Keyboard and Chair

Businesses are increasingly Exploring energy innovations for the next generation of sustainable cloud technology. The focus of many businesses is to build a clean-energy future and make progress toward sustainability and business goals. Let us see a real life case study where we leveraged on Azure AI and IoT to help drive energy and cost savings for a Fragrances and Perfumes manufacturing industry in South East Asia. Using AI and Azure digital Twin, we helped the client understand the energy consumption data, co-relate it with the manufacturing processes and machine output, production quality. Using the IoT data for energy and power consumptions and the product and manufacturing processes data, we helped them understand the bottlenecks in their manufacturing processes and used AI based recommendations to suggest the best settings/ conditions for optimum production output. We used predictive ML to help forecast the energy and cost savings and with the help of Azure Digital twin, streamline their manufacturing processes, thus helping to to reduce their carbon footprint and navigate towards a sustainable future.

Energy Analytics: AI for Sustainability

Since June 2021, our team has delivered vital software components for remotely controlled speeders – 100kg vehicles capable of flying 160 kmph. In addition, our team built and integrated necessary components from network infrastructure to real-time telemetry dashboards and cross-reality pilot HUDs.

This is my story of leading racing system software delivery for Airspeeder - The First Electric Car Race series and how we got from knowing nothing about eVTOL to becoming experts in building ground software for flying cars.

For some, this meant a mountain of never-ending emails, and suddenly, a zero email inbox became an impossible dream.

Depending on the organization, employees can spend hours on emails every week, or even every day. Plus, the statistics for writing emails are not any less terrifying.

Let's see how to use AI to cut through email:
- Find out quickly what are the important messages using AI
- Learn how to automate your emails in a time-efficient way
- Enable yourself to go back to work with automation

We'll look at how we can prototype a few AI models with simple tools like ML.NET, Cognitive Services and Open AI. We'll start with classifying emails and end with proposed actions for your emails.

How to keep your email tidy with AI

But by using in a third-party library you also pull in it's issues and possibly security problems that are found over time. What does the library do? And what type of other libraries and/or functionality does it rely on? What do the projects/people behind it do for security?
If we develop a .NET application using external libraries can we improve our security posture? Other new technologies like WebAssembly introduced a concept of nano-process, which allows the developer to limit the capabilities available for an external module by creating a restricted sandbox for it. Could we maybe do the same in .NET? In the old days we could use AppDomains and Code-Access Security (CAS) to achieve that, but with the introduction .NET Core there only is a single AppDomain and CAS has been deprecated.
Luckily with .NET Core we did get more internals exposed on AssemblyLoadContext and in this session we're going to create a sandbox using that. A restricted sandbox that limits the functionality available that will improve the security posture of our application!

Sandboxing .NET assemblies for fun, profit and of course security!

In this session I'll show you some of the possibilities that you may not be aware of, in case you like me do not like to switch IDEs based on whether you are writing TypeScript or C#.

VS Code for C# Developers

As long as you've got knowledge about how to handle those complexity, it's fine. However, what will happen if you're transferring from the team to another, and someone needs to quickly takes over the system? What will happen if you need to demo a PoC to your client from scratch? The more complex the entire system is, the more difficult the deployment is.

Throughout this session, I'm going to discuss 1) how to dramatically reduce the cost for the deployment, 2) bring the idea to merge the cloud resource creation with app deployment in one go, using Azure, and 3) how to seamlessly continue with existing CI/CD pipelines.


What's Autopilot - Providing Better Deployment Experience

In this session, you will learn how to do hybrid-deployments to cloud and on-premises environments using Azure DevOps and AWS CodeDeploy and explore methods to automatically build and deploy ASP.NET/MVC applications to managed IIS environments on AWS. You will also learn how to automate container deployment with the help of Azure DevOps and Amazon Elastic Container Service and the art of maintaining your infrastructure as code on Azure DevOps.

Microsoft DevOps on AWS

In this talk, I'll go back to the basics of planning, estimation and execution and review fundamental principles of software development, most of which have been known in the industry for 50 years, but for some reason are still not being applied! If you are "doing" Agile and DevOps, but it doesn't seem to be quite working right and you feel like you're missing something, this talk is for you.

Overdue: When Agile and DevOps meet real world deadlines

Agile

That’s what JetBrains have just done with Gateway, the remote development feature in all JetBrains IDEs, such as Rider, IntelliJ IDEA and WebStorm. Oh, and the same team built Code With Me, for collaborative editing. What’s their secret sauce?

Let’s not bother with the marketing, let’s just look at the fun stuff - how it works. We’ll dive into the architecture and found out how to solve the problem of running an IDE remotely, but interact with it like a local application. And how does collaborative editing fit into all of this? How do you create an IDE that multiple editors can use, all at the same time?

Wish you were here: stories of building a remote development IDE

Connecting different parts of your systems via messages & events, is a common pattern. But selecting the correct architecture with the right tech stack, can be tricky. Understanding the difference between Azure Queues, Service Bus, Event Grid or other open-source offerings, can be helpful in implementing the correct solution to your specific problems.

Message Brokering and Event Driven Architecture on Azure

Let's explore what's new in C# 8, 9 and 10! We will look at how the language has changed and why these changes to the language will make us better C# developers, with less bugs in our code. We will cover the following features: - Nullable reference types - Pattern Matching in C# 8 => C# 10 - Record types - Top level programs/statements - Init only & new()

What's new in C#? Exciting new features in C# 8.0, 9.0 and 10!

If we look at the data, however, from the language we use, the practices we recommend, the posts we make and the frameworks we share - we are still stuck in a world focused on "secure code" when in reality the code itself is only part of the picture when it comes to protecting our data, systems and people.

In this talk, we will examine why we are stuck focused on secure code and how we can move towards secure development instead. Laura will provide practical actions you can take throughout your SDLC, spanning from initial ideas to ongoing systems maintenance and support that you can apply today, whether as an individual team member or across a more complex project.

Let's say goodbye to our dreams of secure code once and for all and embrace the idea of secure systems development.

So long, Secure Coding

Technologies like React, GraphQL and Relay play a tremendous role in shifting not only the way we build apps but also how we write code.

If you’re new to this ecosystem, don’t panic! I’ll share with you some tips and walk through some hands-on examples to show you how easy it is to get started and open a world of possibilities.

Powering the Front-end with React, GraphQL and Relay

What new devices are coming? Will Artificial Intelligence take over everything? How will people connect to the web in the next ten years? And what about Quantum Computing? All these topics and more will shape our future!

Automating your DNS - Vatsalya Goel

DNS is the often referred to as backbone of the internet. Every time we interact we interact with a website, a domain name is translated to an IP address like a phonebook lookup. When it comes to managing it in an organisation, we are still stuck in the past with change requests and manual updates within a portal.

There is a better way to do this. In this talk we will go over a Domain Specific Language for DNS that will bring modern DevOps practices to DNS management including:

• Source Control for DNS
• Pull Requests instead of Change Requests
• CI/CD instead of manual updates
• State Management
• Integrating with multiple providers support
