Performance testing with VSTs on- and off-premisesJeff Bramwell
Many of us have been there before... You deploy your brand new web site to production, you know, the one that's going to make your company rich and you famous, and just as you're about to hit a thousand users, the site comes crashing down! If you haven?t experienced this, chances are you know someone who has.If you're building web apps and services for your organization you know how important it is to ensure those services are always up and running. While many of us go through great lengths to ensure we are testing the functionality of our systems we do not always take performance or system load into account.Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) provides multiple options and avenues for enabling performance and load testing for your systems. For example, did you know that VSTS also supports JMeter tests? With VSTS you can even run performance tests using on-premises servers in your own data center. This talk will give you an overview of the performance and load testing capabilities of VSTS. If you haven't looked at the load testing features of VSTS lately, you should definitely check out this talk!

It provides details on the available REST APIs, demonstrates creating a personal access token and calling an API to get a list of builds.
Have you ever customized VSTS/TFS and made it do something really awesome that wasn't possible in the out of the box experience? Have you ever created something so cool that you'd like to share it? Maybe even monetize it? Maybe you have an idea on how to better the experience in VSTS/TFS but don't know where to start? In this talk, we'll discuss the various ways you can make use of custom extensions in VSTS/TFS. We'll talk about what can be customized within an extension and what can't We'll go over some patterns for getting an extension up and running quickly as well as some tips and tricks on debugging extensions and getting them deployed.
As the size of your development shop and organization grows, being able to align the needs of the business with technology grows ever-important.

Regardless of whether you are part of a small startup shop or a 20,000 employee organization, there is a need for a focus on Enterprise Architecture.
With Team Foundation Server 2015 and Visual Studio Online, Microsoft has made available a brand new cross-platform build technology. This new build technology promises to be simpler to implement and maintain than Microsoft's previous attempts at automating builds. Rather than dealing with complex XML and/or XAML you simply "compose" build definitions by adding the build activities you need for your specific implementation. The build agents are also must easier to scale and keep up to date than previous build agents. You can even build your Android and iOS apps with it!

Getting Started With the TFS Object ModelJeff Bramwell
Microsoft's Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a very capable platform for integrating all aspects of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). There is a great deal of functionality provided out of the box that will handle the majority of a development team's needs. However, there are times when you need to extend the functionality of TFS to handle scenarios not anticipated by Microsoft (or they just didn't have the time to get them built into the product). This session will cover the common APIs provided by the TFS Object Model and provide the knowledge needed to get started developing with TFS right away.
Visual Studio 2010 was released a year and a half ago but Microsoft has been hard at work on the next release.

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount. Join Pravash Chandra Das on this illuminating journey through the heart of computing. 🌟

Windows RT will not be available for general purchase. It will be available, pre-installed, on ARM devices only.Don’t confuse “Windows RT” with “WinRT”; They’re not the same thing. More information regarding SKUs at: http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_8_editions
In most cases you don’t need to worry about the .NET Framework 4.5 since it is included with both Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2012. However, you may need to install it on application servers or other machines depending upon the target application type and dependencies.There is currently no Express SKU for building .NET/Desktop apps. A “Desktop” Express SKU has been announced for the Fall but no official release date has been announced http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/06/08/visual-studio-express-2012-for-windows-desktop.aspx
Take a look at some of the out-of-the-box RT apps that ship with Windows 8… they all focus on content rather than chrome.They provide a “fully immersive” (full screen) experience.When designing “Metro” apps, design the user interface to allow for a great “touch first” experience. This includes gestures as well as just “touch”. Use the VS 2012 simulator to simulate touch experiences on a non-touch enabled screen.Use of contracts allow for a consistent usage pattern across applications on Windows 8.Utilizing the cloud allows your settings to follow you from device to device.Create your applications to utilize the features of the device; do not simulate “real world” interfaces (e.g. spiral bound notebooks). In other words, be authentically digital.
Standard .NET applications are supported in Windows 8 in “desktop” mode only – not using the new “Metro” style.All WinRT assemblies are referenced automatically when you create a new Windows Store Application.Don’t confuse “Windows RT” with “WinRT”; They’re not the same thing.
If you exceed quota, the settings will be saved locally but will not sync to the cloud.High priority items must be under 8KB to roam as “high priority”. If the High priority item exceeds 8KB, it will be roamed as a “normal” setting (i.e. it could take a few minutes before it syncs).Applications can be ran/debugged:Locally (against development hardware)Locally in Simulator (Great for testing data roaming)Remotely (e.g. on a Windows 8 tablet)
Main difference between Contracts & Extensions is that contracts are between two apps whereas extensions allow you to extend Windows capabilities.
StorageFile has various (asynchronous) read/write methods for reading/writing files.
