Serverless Azure In The Enterprise
Serverless is not just for start ups.
Australia's largest finance and government agencies are using these patterns in production to push the boundaries of scalability and resiliency.
In this session we will look at modern Azure architectures for shipping apps and API's based on work we have done with organisations around Australia.
Join us as we look at how you should architect your next app in Azure.
Safer, Faster, Smarter - Simple patterns for better cloud native applications
Are you getting the most from the cloud?
Are you confident that your app is secure, that it can scale, that you have planned for things going wrong, and when they do you will find out quickly, and have what you need to resolve it ?
In this demo-heavy we will see how to extend your current Azure cloud applications with patterns and architectures to add security, performance and resiliency.
IoT Solution Recipes - Beyond your first slice of Raspberry Pi
By 2025, it is estimated that there will be more than 75 billion IoT devices. IoT is driving efficiency and innovation in government, business and our homes.
The challenge many projects face is they don’t get past a prototype. Productionising IoT gets complex fast.
In this demo heavy session we will build and demonstrate Azure IoT solutions that can go all the way to production based on our work helping government and commercial customers across Australia.
If you are looking to go beyond a prototype and want your IoT solution in production - this is the session for you.
Keynote - Drones, AI & IOT - What's all the buzz about ?
Drones, AI and IOT are cool ! This session isn't about cool though, it's about building real world solutions utilising the emerging technologies that industry and government are rapidly adopting.
In this session you will get an understanding of the core use cases, learn how to get started with the tech, and find out about the pitfalls to avoid with implement drones, Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things.
Bots & Conversational Agents - the next UI revolution
Bots and Conversation Agents are the new UI frontier. Siri, Google Assistant and Alexa started the trend, but no-UI is the future of UI. Users are going to expect to be able to have conversations with companies and organisations in the client that they have on hand. Don't believe me? Gartner predicts that by 2020 30% of HTTP requests will be via bots.
In this session, we will explore how the Azure Bot Service makes it easy to build and connect intelligent agents to interact with users and services. Take your existing applications, your FAQ or a great new idea you have and build a bot that will run from your website or from Cortana, Skype, a phone call, text message, Teams, Slack, Facebook Messenger, Skype for Business and more.
If you missed the mobile revolution - why not lead in the bot wars?

AI with Azure Cognitive Services - astonishingly powerful, unbelievably easy
The age of Artificial Intelligence is here - and adding it to your apps is EASY.
By 2020, 85% of CIOs will be piloting AI programs (Gartner)
Users are going to expect your apps to be able to convert spoken audio in another language into text in your language in real time. You are going to need to be able to identify who is speaking and use their voice for authentication.
After you have worked out 'what' they said, your apps will need to process natural language to evaluate sentiment and determine exactly what the user's intent was.
Apps are going to need to be able to process images to smartly identify, caption and moderate your pictures.
You will need to be able to hook into cameras to identify people and objects. You will need to be able to implement recommendation engines that look at prior behaviour of groups to determine possible future behaviour.
Come and see how easy it is to leverage Azure Cognitive Services to do all this and more.
Make your apps more intelligent. Make your team look smarter. It's not just easy… it's a no-brainer.

Angular War Stories - Versions 2, 4 & 5 what do you need to know.
At SSW, we love Angular.
We have been building web applications for enterprises and large government projects since Angular 2 was in early beta.
Performance, Mobile friendly, Flexible. Sweet! Happy Users, Happy Developers, Happy Business. Awesome! …. but there are so many options, and so many unanswered questions.
This session will de-mystify the latest versions of Angular (including versions 2, 4 & 5) and highlight the lessons we wish we hadn’t had to learn the hard way as well was teach you how to stay up to date with a fast moving, modern framework. We will teach you what you need to know but aren’t going to find out until you are too far into your project to turn around. You will learn the pitfalls to avoid when building Angular in production.
Come and see why we are loving Angular for everything from startups to large enterprise applications.
Techniques and practices for testing Angular
Writing frontend tests has always been hard, let us show you how to make testing easier in your Angular applications.
From unit testing components and services to end-to-end testing your entire application, we will give you tips and techniques for testing in the latest versions of Angular.
