Unlocking Team Excellence: Beyond Coffee and Skills
What is the most important factor to make your (development) team effective?
Wat are the forces at play igniting unparalled synergy among team members?
No, it is not the quality of the coffee. Neither the individual traits of team members or the perfect mix of skills.
Maybe it's something about the human connection and collaboration?

This session will give you 2,6h a day of your time back!
A recent study by McKinsey revealed that the average professional spends 2,6h of the work day reading and answering email. Unbelievable! In this session I'll share some surprising insights in behavioral science to change this and look how we can apply this knowledge in building AI assistants.
Sociotechnical architecture: Bringing the human factor into your systems
As an architect you sooner or later realize that the systems you design are not living in a void. There are part of a larger ecosystem and are inextricably linked to the organization.
In this session Bart introduces you to the world of Sociotechnical Architecture, where we don’t just look at the technical systems architecture of the product, but also to the organization system (teams) building and owning it.
Azure Static Web Apps - Too good to be true!
Discover the power of Azure Static Web Apps in this session, where we'll explore how it simplifies web development. Learn how to seamlessly integrate static front-end frameworks with serverless back-end APIs powered by Azure Functions. Explore features like effortless deployment, serverless back-end integration, custom domains and SSL certificates, authentication and authorization, and streamlined CI/CD workflows. Witness practical examples and gain hands-on guidance to leverage Azure Static Web Apps effectively. Join us on this journey toward building scalable, secure, and globally accessible applications with ease.
Running Azure on your laptop using Azure Arc
Do you believe in magic? I didn't...until I discovered Azure Arc and how it enables you to run the services we all love like Azure Functions, Logic Apps, App Services... on your local Kubernetes cluster. No pigeons or rabbits but a lot of demo's explaining how the magic happens...
Lessons learned from building a message based system
Building a message based system is hard. And after coding such a system for a year and having it run in production for 6 months, I have to confirm that this statement is oh so true. In this session we'll share what we learned during our journey, how to avoid the mistakes that we made and how to build a truly resilient system. We'll avoid the word 'microservices' at all cost...
GraphQL - A love story
The core of every application is it's data. Even in a brave new microservices world, data is key. I built my own REST services, tried OData for a while, but kept wondering is this it? Shouldn't there be a better solution out there for me? Until I discovered GraphQL, the data query and manipulation language created by Facebook, and felt in love with it's simplicity, power and flexibility. In this session I'll explain the basic building blocks of the GraphQL language, why you should use it and share lessons from hands-on experience. You'll leave this session with everything you need to know to get started with GraphQL in your ASP.NET(Core) applications.
Advanced Open Telemetry with Azure Monitor Application Insights
You've added then OpenTelemetry NuGet package to your application, but now what? This demo-driven session will show you how to get the maximum out of Open Telemetry, how to combine it with Azure Application Insights and achieve true insights in your application behavior and performance.
Microservices – The last mile
There it is! After months of struggling your well decomposed microservices architecture finally sees the light. Nicely separated services with their own datastore, well defined service boundaries, clear API contracts, … . A software architect dream is coming true.
But now you need to start working on the frontend and gone is all your clean separation!
In this session we’ll walk the last mile and evaluate multiple ways on how to bring information from multiple (micro) services together so that they can be consumed by the frontend.
ViewModel composition, gateway aggregation, Backend for Frontends, GraphQL Federation and other options are compared and pro’s and con’s of each technique will be discussed
Property based testing in C#
In traditional unit testing, a test consists of an example input that is fed to the system under test, followed by an assertion that the output is what we expect. The challenge then is to come up with good test data. Did we provide good test input? Did we cover all edge cases? Are we sure our code is now bug free?
Let's remove all the doubt by looking at another way to test using property-based testing. In this session I show you how to start with property-based testing in C#, why it is a great way to find edge cases and how it can help you to understand and test the behavior of your code under all conditions.
