Mastering GitHub Projects en

GitHub has a very flexible and powerful system to plan, visualize and manage your work. So flexible that most people have no clue where to start.

Contrary to many other tools, GitHub Projects isn't prescriptive. When you start a new project it can be as simple as a list of items and a very simple "todo/doing/done" board. From there you have to build out the views that support how you work.

While this is VERY powerful, most people seem to struggle. So let Jesse organize your thoughts and piece together the required steps to then organize your work.

Building a GitHub Copilot prompt library en nl

It's been a long requested feature for GitHub Copilot. The ability to store and share prompts for easy reuse and to help you get things done.

And now you can!

In this session Jesse walks through GitHub Custom Instructions and the prompt library features to help you build your own library, share it with colleagues and use them to tame Copilot for all the members of your project.

10 secrets about Github Actions unveiled en nl

GitHub actions is the most universal workflow, continuous integration and continuous delivery workflow engine available for GitHub.

Its simple to get started, but has many secret tweaks and toggles you just have to know to take advantage of them.

In this session Jesse Houwing will walk through 10 each covering different topics: performance, security and usability.

Agile is dood! Lange leve Agile! nl en

Je moet deze berichtjes wel langs hebben zien komen op social media:
- Agile is dood!
- Waarom wij gestopt zijn met Scrum
- Service Reliability Engineering is het nieuwe DevOps. De Full Stack Engineer is de nieuwe ontwikkelaar!
- Agile is niet voor: gereguleerde omgevingen/financiele instellingen/gezondheidszorg

Deze berichten hebben allemaal iets gemeen: De mensen die deze klacht delen hebben nooit echt Agile meegemaakt.

Laten we de onderdelen van Agile die vaak overgeslagen worden onderzoeken en kijken of we onze projecten en wellicht de hele organisatie kunnen genezen van Agilitis-Opsfluenza.

10 dingen die je moet weten over GitHub Actions en nl

GitHub Actions is het meest universele workflow, continuous integration en continuous delivery gereedschap voor GitHub in onze koffer tegenwoordig.

Het is vrij gemakkelijk om je eerste workflow te maken, maar er zijn veel kleine aanpassingen die je kan doen om je workflows beter te maken. Je moet alleen wel weten waar die zijn verborgen.

In deze sessie neemt Jesse Houwing je mee in de wereld van GitHub Actions en laat hij je zien hoe jij je workflows sneller, veiliger en makkelijker bruikbaar kan maken.

Bouw je eigen GitHub Copilot prompt bibliotheek en nl

De mogelijkheid om je eigen prompts op te slaan in GitHub Copilot werd de afgelopen jaren veel gevraagd. En je kon natuurlijk een berg txt bestanden in je repo zetten, maar erg gebruikersvriendelijk was dat niet.

Recent is Visual Studio Code uitgebreid met de mogelijkheid om prompt files en custom instructions te maken!

In deze sessie neemt Jesse je mee langs de verschillende opties om custom instructions en prompts op te slaan in je eigen prompt bibliotheek en hoe je prompts kan delen met andere gebruikers van dezelfde repositories.

Agile is dead! Long live Agile! nl en

You must have seen these items flow through your timeline:
- Agile is dead!
- Why we stopped doing Scrum
- SRE is the new DevOps is the new Full Stack Engineer is the new Developer
- Agile is not for: regulated industries, financials, healthcare...

Most of these carry a common theme... The people making these complaints never did or experience Agile in the first place.

Lets look at the elements of Agile that are often skipped and ignored and let's see if we can revive the projects and organizations that suffer from Agilitis-Opsfluenza!

Ohh Sh*t Git! en

Git is the most popular source control mechanism for new projects, the standard in open source. It’s very powerful and allows you to do things you may not even aware of. Unfortunately, it’s also quite easy to put yourself into a situation where you’ll exclaim: “Ohh sh*t! Git!”. Let’s look at some common mistakes you may make and how to fix them.

When Scrum goes bad en

Scrum is simple. It has 11 elements. 5 Events, 3 Roles and 3 Artifacts. But even though Scrum is simple, it is hard. Hard to do right. Daily Scrum's only on Tuesdays? A Sprint Demo? The team asking for approval from their Product Owner at Sprint Review... These are only a few of the ways scrum can get corrupted.

Let's scan out collective Scrum hard dive and run checkdisk /f on it to get rid of some of the bad sectors, rebuild some of the indexes and resolve the lost files.

Interactive session to discuss the Agile/Scrum issuer that the audience struggles with.

Upgrading to GitHub Enterprise en

For years GitHub has been the home of all my small Open Source projects. And you get almost all Enterprise features for free. Companies can subscribe to GitHub's enterprise plan to get the same benefits for all their public *and* private repositories.

Recently Xebia went through this "upgrade" and we're in the process of enabling all enterprise features on all Xebia's organizations. Now you might think the process for this is covered in a simple wizard you next-next-pay-finish through, but it's not that simple.

In this talk Jesse will take you along the journey of taking 38 GitHub organizations, grouping them together using GitHub Enterprise and going through the process of enabling the Enterprise features on them and the creative workarounds to make this happen as smoothly as possible.

Target audience: GitHub Enterprise administrators, technical decision makers.
Preferred duration: 60 minute+

Properly secure your GitHub Actions en

The GitHub marketplace contains 21500 Actions at the time I write this. Tomorrow it will probably be at least one more. Creating and publishing an action is a very simple process, which must have helped with the success of the platform, however, properly securing the repository against attacks isn't as easy as it seems and the first Action worm proof-of-concepts have already been demonstrated.

Do you own a GitHub Action? Do you use GitHub Actions? In that case, knowing how to properly secure your GitHub Actions environment is super important.

This session quickly covers GitHub Actions in general before exploring all the features GitHub offers to protect your actions from attack.
