This document discusses the new build system (dubbed "vNext") in VSTS/TFS 2015. It has a more flexible agent/pool architecture that allows builds to run on Windows, Linux, and Mac agents. Build definitions are defined through web-based steps and templates. The new system provides features like real-time build status, definition auditing, secret variables, and publishing test results. It is designed to work alongside the existing XAML-based builds.
How many iot technologies do you need to turn on a lightbulb (Kurt Claeys)Visug
IOT is no hype no more, a broad range of technologies are now supporting .NET developers to build great solutions. In this demo-only presentation I’ll show you such an IOT solution distributed over 3 different platforms (Android, Cloud and Raspberry) using 3 different messaging protocols (iBeacons/BLE, Azure Storage REST API and Zwave protocol). The solution shows how a tablet device can be aware of its distance to iBeacons, can send triggers on an Azure queue to be received on a Raspberry PI to remote control a lightbulb through Zwave. Talking cross platform! All with .NET and C#
Building your first android app using xamarin (Gill Cleeren)Visug
Do you have a great knowledge about C#? Maybe you’ve already built a great mobile app on Windows Phone or Windows 8 or even Windows 10? Would you like to be able to use your knowledge to build an Android app without having to resort to other languages or IDEs? This is possible using Xamarin! In this session, Gill Cleeren will take you through the creation of your first Android application: Joe’s Coffee Store. Along the way, you will learn the basic concepts of Android such as Activities and see how we can use these from Xamarin.Android. We’ll need to connect with services to get access to data and we’ll learn how to navigate in the app. You’ll see we can do this all of this directly from Visual Studio. We will finish the session by looking at how we can deploy the application to the Google Play Store so it’s ready for our users! You’ll walk away wanting to port your code to Android!
10 years ago I presented for the first time at Visug on the topic of Visual Studio Team System, the first iteration of a product family that allowed us to automate the long road from requirement to software in production, and everything in between. At the time software development was mainly a manual process. The software itself was either monolithic or composed of large 'SOA Services' and it was a real challenge to get them into production every few months in a so called 'big bang’ deployment. Since then our profession has gone through some major changes, software development looks a lot different now. Today, many applications consist of small parts called 'microservices'. These microservices make their way into the cloud or datacenter automatically, through API driven Continuous Deployment systems, every time anyone on the team commits a small change. While deployments are now happening continuously, they do have an impact on the system: taking down part of it for maintenance all the time. But at the same time, our customers expect the overall system to stay up 24/7. In this talk I will introduce you to an upcoming technology, called Service Fabric, that can help you maintain your development agility in this new world, but still live up to your customer’s expectations.
Windows 10 is finally here. Now is the time to learn about the awesome new features that the platform offers. Do you want to know what Windows 10 enables for developers? Or do you want to see how you can enhance your existing Windows 8.1 app? In this session, we will give you a full overview of the most important new features of Windows 10.

Serverless is a hot trend but are you taking full advantage of all the productivity and scalability benefits serverless architectures have to offer? In this session you will learn about the best practices for building serverless applications – both for architectural patterns using various Azure services as well as for tools to accelerate development.
Service Fabric is the foundational technology powering core Azure infrastructure and large-scale Microsoft services such as Azure Cosmos DB, Azure SQL Database, Dynamics 365, and Cortana. Come to this session for a developer’s tour and dives into the latest and greatest of Service Fabric capabilities, including containers, low-latency data processing, .NET Core 2.0 and VS 2017 integration. We are also going to immerse you with our future roadmap that makes building containerized microservice applications much easier.
“Microservices” have become a trendy development strategy. Hosting and running such services used to be pretty painful... but here comes Service Fabric! Let’s take a closer look at this platform, its different development models and all the features it offers, and not only for microservices!
Today, the development and operations landscape has shifted to a more collaborative model merging the two (DevOps). Developers need to know much more about the operational components of their software - especially around network programming, services development, and continuous deployment. Likewise, the developer's IT counterpart needs to know much more about development - especially around infrastructure automation (Chef/Puppet), automated testing, and continuous deployment.
Let’s dive into the world of serverless and give you real world examples of how to get started. We will focus on Azure Functions in Java and discuss how to provision, deploy and test them in a productive environment. In my demos we will see the ease of local development leveraging from the great integration in Visual Studio Code. Finally, let’s ship our samples and scale them in Azure. If you are tired of server maintenance and want to achieve more with your java functions , don’t miss this session.

Azure cloud for the web frontend developersMaxim Salnikov
It’s impossible to reason about modern web application without mentioning its front-end part – extensive, feature-rich, performant, sometimes with quite sophisticated structure and build process, but after all not requiring server-side code to construct it in the runtime, i.e. static. In the Azure cloud, we now have a special service for this kind of apps (including both classic SPAs and statically generated ones), empowering developers to focus on the business logic rather than the infrastructure that builds and hosts them.
In my technical session & demo, let's go through the full development flow: we scaffold a web front-end app, push it to the GitHub, set up Azure Static Web App service, enjoy the fully automatic build, and deploy to global high-availability hosting - all in a few minutes!

Making apps for people with a disability with Xamarin tells you about making apps for people with an intellectual disability. Former, people thought people with an intellectual disability cannot read, thus a smartphone isn’t really realistic for them. But nonprofits and startups started to explore this userbase and found out a way of apps people with an intellectual disability can use.
Why is this important? Well there are two big reasons: first of all: If people with an intellectual disability can use your app, they can get info about their life-situation and that empowers quality of life. Smartphones by example uses Text-To-Speech and principal the need to “can read” isn’t there anymore.
For you as developer or startup there’s also a big benefit of apps for these people: nearly every market is discovered for mobile apps. Every market has big concurrency. But the market of apps for people with a disability is quite less discovered, so if you are good, you can rule a hole market!
The site was slow. CPU and memory usage everywhere! Some dead objects in the corner. Something terrible must have happened! We have some IIS logs. Some traces from a witness.

DevOps with Visual studio Release Management (Pieter Gheysens)Visug
Are you looking for an efficient way to dev/test your applications in Windows Azure and you want to track your release process by automating your deployments for repeatable success? Are you struggling with a manual and error-prone deployment process which frustrates you every day? Are you looking for automation that is the same across different environments (Dev-Test-Acceptance-Production)? Do you need to build/package your application only once and deploy it with the exact same bits to any provisioned environment? Do you want to setup a formal approval workflow to promote a release to the next stage? If so, come and learn about the new release management features in Visual Studio Team Services.
It is almost there, the RTM version of ASP.NET 5 and MVC6, with a new project system in Visual Studio 2015 and a new cross-platform runtime! In this session we will dig into each one of those. We will look at how you can deploy your website without it being affected, or affecting other runtimes. We will look at how to build your own middleware for this new runtime (and maybe package it as a NuGet package), building POCO controllers for MVC6, how to do unit testing, … At the end of this session you should have a better insight in this exciting new framework and runtime!
In this session we will build a mobile application (iOS/Android) using Xamarin Forms.
We will make use of the latest version of XLabs (also known as Xamarin Forms Labs) to build an app that is very maintainable, scalable and extensible.
The built-in MVVM framework allows you to build future proof apps which can be expanded to multiple platforms with minimal effort.
This session covers how to set this up from scratch, apply bindings, use IOC and make use of a simple WebAPI.
Hello windows 10: An overview of the new features for developers in WIndows 10Visug
Windows 10 is finally here. Now is the time to learn about the awesome new features that the platform offers. Do you want to know what Windows 10 enables for developers? Or do you want to see how you can enhance your existing Windows 8.1 app? In this session, we will give you a full overview of the most important new features of Windows 10.
It’s all about REST in today’s world. Every service you look at, people are providing a REST API for it. Surprisingly, very few of these API’s are even REST, if we’re talking about REST as in a system that abides by a series of constraints making it RESTful. But the positive note is that it has brought to light the power of HTTP as an application protocol, something very often undervalued and misunderstood, even today.
This talk is going to focus on the core values of HTTP for what it is. It will cover all aspects including
Headers
Error Management
Verbs
Content Negotiation
Caching
Security
Messages
Request and Responses
In essence you'll understand HTTP much better, learn to differentiate an HTTP API from a system with RESTful constraints and also understand benefits of providing REST API - if such a thing were to exist of course!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
