Resources for Learning TypeScript and Angular

02 December 2016 - TypeScript, Angular

I regularly do trainings and workshops about web development with TypeScript and Angular. This week, I worked with a group of developers who have a non-web development background. They asked me to summarize the most important readings for learning about modern web development. Their problem isn't a lack of information. The amount of information on the internet is overwhelming and they asked for the really important resources. Here is my best-of-list.

API Summit Berlin

22 November 2016 - DevOps, C#, .NET, Visual Studio, Azure

Docker Image and ARM Template for Minecraft Modding with .NET Core

10 November 2016 - CSharp, Minecraft, DotNet

Currently, I am at Microsoft's MVP Summit in Redmond. Today is hackathon day. I decided to join the group dealing with Minecraft modding in .NET Core and C#. I created a Docker image and an ARM template to make it super simple to spin up a Minecraft server fully configured to be programmed with .NET. This article describes the code and contains all links.

Lightning Talk at MVP Summit - Minecraft and JavaScript at CoderDojo

Beside my job, I am co-founder and organizer of a local CoderDojo. CoderDojos are programming clubs for kids. At Microsoft's MVP Summit in Redmond I do a lighting talk about how we use Minecraft + JavaScript to get kids motivated to learn coding with JavaScript. In this article I share links for attendees who want to reproduce my demos.

At this year's Advanced Developer Conference (ADC) in Germany, I did the vision keynote and a session about Azure Active Directory B2C. The keynote was about the future of enterprise software development. In this blog article I publish the material for my talks including all slides.

Refresh of Angular 2 Samples

12 October 2016 - Angular, JavaScript, ECMAScript

For a recent web development training I have refreshed a lot of my Angular 2 samples. They are now based on the Angular CLI and Lint warning free. Additionally, I restructured our JavaScript training slides and created new hands-on labs for JavaScript introduction. All the code samples and the slides are available on GitHub.

Microservices

07 October 2016 - Microservices, Cloud, Azure

In software architecture workshops I regularly discuss the concept of Microservices with customers. In this blog article I share the slide deck that I use for that. Sometimes I use it to present the concept of Microservices to customers who are not familiar with it. Sometimes I only hand it out because of the reference links included in the slides. Hope you find the presentation interesting.

This year, I did a full-day C# workshop focussing on .NET Core, a session about C# Code Reviews, a session about Visual Studio "15", and finally a lab about developer tools in Azure. In this blog article I share sample code and slides of my talks.
