Azure Networking 101 for Software Developers

If you're a Software Developer using Azure, you've likely used compute services like App Services, Functions, Container Apps or even Azure Kubernetes Service. But if you've ever clicked around in the portal and manually created resources, you'll have noticed there's a whole wide world out there when it comes to networking, but you don't know where to start if you want to learn more about them. In this session, I'll take you on a journey to show you core concepts and building blocks for networking in Azure through the lens of a Software Developer.

Fire your frontend framework with Lit!

React, Angular and Vue and the most widely used frontend frameworks these days. But did you know you can build modern frontend applications without any of these big and bulky dependencies? You can, using Web Components!

During this talk, Wessel will take you on a journey to the heart of the modern web, where standards such as Custom Elements, Declarative Shadow DOM and HTML Templates define the next big thing in frontend development. Using a small utility library called Lit, you will learn to love the native web just like Google, Adobe, SAP and ING have.

Preferred durations: min. 30 to 60 minutes including questions.
Target audience: frontend or full stack developers who may have heard about Web Components, but have not used them extensively.

The Next Big Thing in Web Development

From MVC pages to JavaScript-heavy Single Page Applications, and back again to server-side rendered frontend apps. Did we come full circle? And what are the implications for the future of web development? Technologies such as WebAssembly, Cloud Native development and more are quietly developing to be the "Next Big Thing". In this session, I'll show you what I think are the biggest upcoming technologies for the next five years & beyond.

This is a keynote-style session, explaining my vision on web development in the (near) future, with some comedic takes and introductory information on technologies such as Web Assembly, Cloud Native development and Web Components without showing too much code.

The target audience is any Software Developer who is interested in learning more about upcoming technologies that cause a lot of buzz.
