Everything You Always Wanted to Know About git and GitHub (But Were Afraid to Ask)
Git and GitHub are everywhere - but many of us still feel like we’re faking it. What’s the difference between clone and fork? Why does rebase feel like magic (or mayhem)? And how do you fix a commit that went horribly wrong?
In this practical, beginner-friendly session, we’ll walk through the real-world git and GitHub scenarios developers ánd administrators deal with daily. You’ll learn how to undo mistakes, work smarter with branches and pull requests, and finally understand the tools and terms that often go unspoken. Whether you’re maintaining code or managing teams, you’ll leave with a clearer mental model and practical tips to make git and GitHub less intimidating and more powerful.
No question is too small, and no shame is allowed - this is your safe space to level up your git game.
Managing Microsoft 365 through the command-line
Microsoft 365 has many admin centers that let you adjust various settings, but sometimes you just need to work with the command line. There are a lot of options these days: PowerShell for the Microsoft Graph, and different CLIs - or Command Line Interfaces. You use these not because they are cool, but because they help you with a specific problem. In this session we will explore the different tools that you can use, which problems they address and how to use them in an automation scenario. The goal is to manage your tenant more efficiently. Whether you are new to these tools or an experienced user, you will learn practical tips and tricks that will save you time and effort.
Microsoft 365 tenant setup & configuration. Been there, done that?
One of the most important steps in your Microsoft 365 journey is setting up and configuring your tenant. It’s just next, next, finish - right? Look again! In this session, Thomas will guide you through some essential tasks and decisions you need to make as well as the foundational technologies you might want to revisit (DNS anyone?). You will learn about some hidden gems and good practices that will help you optimize your tenant performance and security. Additionally, we will cover some more advanced scenarios, such as multi-geo and multi-tenant deployments. Whether you are a new or an existing Microsoft 365 IT professional, this session will provide you with valuable insights and tips from the field.
A Pragmatic Approach to Data Security in Microsoft 365
Everyone’s talking about it, and everyone knows they should do something about it - but where do you start? AI-powered tools may have boosted our productivity but also brought new risks to the table, like accidental oversharing. Having a solid data security strategy in Microsoft 365 is therefore more important than ever. That doesn’t mean you need an overwhelming, all-at-once transformation though.
This session will show you how to take a practical, step-by-step approach to rolling out Microsoft Purview features and capabilities. You’ll learn how to build a strong data security foundation without disrupting productivity. We’ll cover some good practices to gradually improve security while keeping things smooth and manageable for users as much as possible. Whether you’re just starting or refining your approach, this session will provide practical tips to help you balance security and usability.
