Uno Platform development with Microsoft Azure

Uno Platform is a new platform for building native mobile, desktop and WebAssembly apps with C#, XAML from a single codebase. Open source and professionally supported. Like a silver bullet that can be used of course integrated with Azure services.

In this talk we are going to learn how to take advantage of this incredibility -- in terms of productivity platform along with some Azure integration.

Should I build or should I not? An approach to JavaScript DevOps or the newly called WebOps.

The term DevOps is everywhere.
But is not a job description, DevOps is a set of practices that combines software development (Dev) and information-technology operations (Ops) which aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery and integration with high software quality.

As JavaScript Devs (front, back or full stack) we can usually think that we have nothing to do with the infrastructure or operations, wrong. Your code your responsibility.
As a matter of fact we are talking more and more about the tools, processes, responsibilities and definitions of the new fancy Web Operations role (WebOps), which refers to a domain of expertise within IT systems management that involves the deployment, operation, maintenance, tuning, and repair of web-based applications and systems.
With the rise of web technologies since mid-1995, specialists have emerged that understand the complexities of running a web application.
Hey! Maybe you are thinking, It's simply too much.
In this talk we are going to see how a traditional web developer can assume DevOps functions avoiding some common mistakes or the well know burn out.

I'll show how to deliver into production a web based app, fast & furious. Showing some alternatives and Node JS based tools. Finally I would like to show how GitLab can contribute to make you life easier. Lot of fun and learning guarantee.

How Web Assembly is changing Web development ?

WebAssembly code defines an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) represented in a binary format.
But what does this mean? Well, it means that the web now has infinite possibilities because the barrier to writing programs for the browser in different languages will be lessened.

Think about it, every browser, whether you use Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari, code is interpreted and executed by a JavaScript engine — which only runs JavaScript, but perhaps JavaScript is not ideal for every task we want to perform.

The web platform is getting a new low-level binary compile format that will do a better job at being a compiler target than JavaScript.

This talk is a reflexion about how Web Assembly will open this new doors and the impact on an already fragmented web development.
