[Post Event] Keyboards & Mice Cluj-Napoca

By
Yesterday evening iQuest had organized an IT event in Cluj-Napoca - Keyboard & Mice. Almost 100 people participate to this event. There were 5 speakers that are working (or used to work) in iQuest.
The session were very interesting and presented IT industry from different perspective. In this kind of events you realise that IT is more than 'code'.
Below you can find the event schedule:

  • Welcome speech – Mihai Barabas, Head of PMO, iQuest Group
  • How to crunch 1M messages per second in 4 easy steps – Radu Vunvulea, Technical Lead, iQuest Group
  • You don’t have a [brilliant] future as a developer if … – Andrei Olar, Developer
  • Highly secured cloud-based reporting and analytics platform – Mihai Josan, Senior Software Engineer
  • Mobile Already Is the Future – Andrei Hegedus, Technical Lead, iQuest Group
At the end of this post you will be able to find the slides from my presentation. 
After the event we had a special contest called "Drunk Programing Contest". The short story is very simple: "You need to resolve problems from TopCoder and drink". Perfect event for a programmer (smile). This time we had something special, a water dispenser full with wine - hot or cold. Yes, we had a lot of fun.

By
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(

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

By
 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
