How I created my PowerShell Escape Room en nl
I love Escape Rooms, I love PowerShell. Let me tell you my story on how I created my Escape Room with multiple screens, quests and a central system that you can use to create your own Escape Room.
Design for costs, four pillars of economic cloud design en nl
Developers are being exposed to things like FinOps or a massive Azure bill. So let's start incorporating costs into our cloud design to make the best performance solution and the most economical solution!
In 2022 we see that security by design is common sense, why not incorporate the financial aspect.
In this session we will share our thoughts on maintaining grip on your cloud bill & maintaining high performance. By incorporating our four pillars of economic cloud design you are able to design cost efficient and high performant cloud solutions.
We will of course also explain "Zero User Costs" and "Geo Efficiency" so you can start today.
Session duration is approx. 20-30 minutes, but can be extended or shortened. Session is delivered by 2 people. (Twan Koot & Michiel Hamers)
Design for costs, four pillars of economic cloud design en nl
Je word steeds vaker geconfronteerd met termen als FINOPS, DEVOPS, BIZOPS. Hierdoor krijg je als developer steeds meer te maken met de kosten die de cloud met zich mee brengen. Je ziet bij veel grote organisaties die vroeger on-premises werkte een grote verschuiving naar de cloud, security is by design, waarom dan niet een economic by design. In deze sessie gaan wij in om jou als developer te helpen grip te krijgen (en behouden) op de cloud architectuur. Uiteraard met kosten en performance in mind om zo de meest optimale architectuur neer te zetten. Aan het eind van deze sessie kan je zelf met onze 4 pijlers aan de slag. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan "Zero User Costs" en "Geo Efficiency".
Sessie duur is ongeveer 20 tot 30 minuten. Deze kan gewenst ingekort danwel verlengt worden.
Deze sessie wordt gegeven door 2 personen (Twan Koot & Michiel Hamers)
Keeping everyone in the Loop en
During this demo-heavy session we will take you on a tour of Microsoft Loop. At the Ignite conference Microsoft made some announcements around Loop, silently added
live components to Microsoft Teams and it is time to lift the veil and dive into how we can leverage Loop to make our lives a lot more productive.
After this session you too can leverage the power of Microsoft Loop.

If you are a Pythoneer, Java developer, C# / .NET developer, PowerShell scripting guy or even when you just want to drag&drop your own intelligent solution you can see after this session what Microsoft Azure can leverage in 2022. And of course, Michiel will tell a bit about the 3 famous rules of robotics.
How I created my PowerShell Escape Room. en nl

THE POWER OF AUTOMATION - Michiel Hamers & Roelant Dieben
As a .NET software developer we are constantly broadening our horizon with the exciting new features that are added to the .NET framework and its extended family. Sometimes new techniques come along that can potentially change everything. The Microsoft Power Platform could be such a game-changer, but should we fear this development, or should we embrace this as a .NET software developer? During this session we will explore everything you need to know as a .NET software developer how you can leverage this low-code platform while still writing C# code.
