This are the slides of my Visug (Visual Studio User Group) session about how yo can leverage the power of Git with TFS 2013/Visual Studio online and Visual Studio.
Presented by: Michael Blakeney, Terazo
Presented at All Things Open 2020
Abstract: Developing applications for the cloud presents a new set of problems for engineers and teams. From handling cloud based service dependencies like queues and blob storage to spinning up new environments all locally, building an app for the cloud is challenging and can really create drag for a team. Using modern tools like docker containers, we will dig into some of tactics that can be used to effectively mitigate common issues and help your team accelerate its development.

StarWest 2019 - End to end testing: Stupid or Legit?mabl
Automating end-to-end tests is a tricky business. Many leading practitioners over the years have advised against doing ANY end-to-end test automation. As a result of this, we often see a test automation triangle that recommends a 70/20/10% split between unit, integration, and end-to-end tests to mitigate the traditional associations of the cost of troubleshooting test failures and feedback cycles at each level.
But it’s 2019… many of those risks don’t really exist anymore, and the complete end-to-end is the only thing that brings together all components of your app while focusing on the true end-user functionality and experience. The test automation triangle is changing shape.
Learning outcomes:
- Key pain points of end-to-end test automation and the modern technologies that have eliminated those pains
- The unique benefits of end-to-end test automation
- Tips to bring home for getting started with end-to-end test automation

Lean-Agile Development with SharePoint - Bill AyersSPC Adriatics
SharePoint gives us a great platform for developing sophisticated intranet portals and collaboration sites and many other workloads. But it can also be a challenge to use modern software development frameworks like Scrum and XP. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get all the benefits of Agile practices – faster development, predictable deliveries, better quality, less stress and happy stakeholders? In this session we will cover the definitions of Lean, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, XP, and TDD. Then we will look at the specific challenges around Agile SharePoint development and some development techniques to overcome these obstacles. This talk covers both project delivery and engineering. We’ll look at unit tests, integration tests, UI tests, continuous integration and, of course, test-driven development (TDD) with practical experiences from real-life Agile SharePoint projects.
this presentation contains agile engineering practices which are used by software community.
These practices provides agility in the software development. Applying agile software development without these practices is not easy for software developers.

of successful monolithic Java application.
It shows architectural and technical evolution of one Java web startup that is beyond daily coding routine and contains a lot of simplifications, Captain Obvious and internet memes.
But this presentation is not intended for monolithic vs. micro services architectures comparison.
XP teams try to keep systems fully integrated at all times, and shorten the feedback cycle to minutes and hours instead of weeks or months. The sooner you know, the sooner you can adapt.

Using BladeRunnerJS to Build Front-End Apps that Scale - Fluent 2014Phil Leggetter
Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that code is consistent, well structured, tested and has an architecture that encourages enhancement and maintainability is essential. When it comes to building large server-focused apps the solutions to this problem have been tried and tested. But, how do you achieve this when building HTML5 single page apps?
BladeRunnerJS is an open source developer toolkit and lightweight front-end framework that has helped Caplin Systems ensure that a 200k LoC JavaScript codebase hasn’t become a tangled mess of unstable spaghetti code. This codebase is packaged and delivered to customers as an SDK. Additionally customers receive a getting started application of around 50k LoC for them to build upon, and they’re expected not to turn that into a tangled … you get the idea.
In this talk you’ll learn the main concepts to apply when building a front-end app that scales and how BladeRunnerJS can support the development process.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
