[Post-Event] Autumn ITCamp Community Event in Cluj-Napoca | November 7th, 2018, Romania

This week, together with ITCamp Community we organized a community event in Cluj-Napoca. There were two sessions where we talked about scraping the web and how we can automize the microservices solution on top of Kubernetes using Azure DevOps.
There were more than 55 people that attended the event, being curious to find out more about best practices and lessons learned about how to write a crawler from scratch. Nowadays the limitations are not from a technology perspective but the legal side. Together with attendees, we discover how we can create a Kubernetes cluster at runtime for our environments without having to write or modify a line of code – Azure DevOps is here to make our life easier.
The event was supported by UIPath, that provided us with a fantastic location and a tasty snack.

You can find below the slide deck from the event and some photos.
See you next time!

Scraping the web for useful data: In present times, we are able to find data everywhere with a simple search, however, most of the time, we are unable to easily download that data. This is where web scraping becomes a powerful tool. The aim of this presentation is to give you an understanding of web scraping along with implementations, problems with a possible solution and some uses cases.

Microservices CI/CD automation inside Microsoft Azure: This session represents the journey that we need to follow when we start to implement a microservice solution using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Except for the microservices themselves, there are a lot of other things that we need to be aware if we want to have an automated system where we focus only on the functionality and nothing more. Join this session if you want to discover the world of Azure DevOps and how you can configure a CI/CD environment in 30 minutes.

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(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded

Today blog post will be started with the following error when running DB tests on the CI machine: threw exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The Entity Framework provider type 'System.Data.Entity.SqlServer.SqlProviderServices, EntityFramework.SqlServer' registered in the application config file for the ADO.NET provider with invariant name 'System.Data.SqlClient' could not be loaded.
