Agendă

9:15-9:30	Sosirea participanților
9:30-10:20	What's new in Windows 8? Tudor Damian	A brief overview of the new features and performance improvements in Windows 8.
10:30-11:20	Integrating the Windows 8 Experience with Contracts Tiberiu Covaci	Windows 8 introduces a new system of integration within the operating system for third-party apps, which have the ability to interact more with each other and with the system itself. In this session we will see how to use it in our new Metro applications for Windows 8.
11:30-12:20	Designing Windows 8 Apps with Blend and PowerPoint Storyboards Lorant Domokos	Windows 8 is a new Windows experience. Through the bold use of color, typography, and motion, Microsoft design style brings a fresh new approach to the user experience. In this talk, you'll learn about the Microsoft design principles and how to apply these principles to build your own apps using PowerPoint Storyboards and Blend.
12:20-13:00	Pauza de masa
13:00-14:00	Developing modern web applications: HTML 5, MVVM, Web Sockets Mihai Tătăran	In this session you will see a modern approach to web applications, from designing the client-side JavaScript code, to communication strategies with the server backend. We will touch technologies and frameworks like: HTML 5, knockoutjs, Web Sockets, jQuery.
14:00-15:00	Introducing Windows Azure Mobile Services Mihai Nadăș	Windows Azure Mobile Services makes it easy to connect a scalable cloud backend to your client and mobile applications. It allows you to store structured data in the cloud that can span both devices and users, integrate it with user authentication, as well as send out updates to clients via push notifications. In this session I will introduce Windows Azure Mobile Services, reveal the value they bring to developers and how it helps Windows 8 development.
15:00-16:00	Building and testing Windows 8 Metro Style Applications using C++,C# and JavaScript Radu Vunvulea	In this session you will discover how you can develop applications that use components written in different programming language (C++, C# and JavaScript). A brief introduction in WinRT Components and testing tools will also be presented.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...
