[Post Event] ITCamp Conference 2017 - Cluj-Napoca

What a week! ITCamp Conference took place in Cluj-Napoca Speakers all around the globe joined forces with ITCamp Community team and delivered high quality sessions. As in the last years, topics that are covered by ITCamp Conference were from all technologies - JavaScript to Containers, Azure to Raspberry, OOP to Machine Learning.
The speaker list is pretty long and I invite you to check it out. ITCamp Conference had Google employee's, Principal Program Managers from Microsoft and of course a lot of architects and deep technical people from the field.
Being part of such an event it is a delight. Having live high quality sessions in Cluj-Napoca it is a unique opportunity, offered by ITCamp Community each year.
In figures, ITCamp Community looks very interesting - more than 40 speakers, that deliver 40+ sessions during the two days of the conference to more than 500 attendees.

What a great conference! What a week! Great sessions, great speakers, wonderful people - all of them in one place for 2 days.

This year I delivered a session about .NET and .NET Core from IoT perspective. I done a interesting performance profiling of .NET Core running on Raspberry PI 3 with two different OS (Windows 10 IoT Core and Ubuntu Mate) and integration with Azure IoT Hub. If you want to find out the results you can check my slides.

Title: The fight for surviving in the IoT world

Abstract: The world is changing. Every day new devices appears around us. How will .NET survive in a word that is changing, in a word that migrates from mainstream to small and cheap devices fast and without mercy. The session will attack how .NET can survive and what are the new features of .NET that help us (the developers) to do this transition.

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(

On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

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
