[Post Event] .NET Developers Days, Warsaw, 2019

By
It was a crazy week - in a GOOD DAY. I was invited by .NET Developers Days team to deliver 2 sessions in Warsaw at their conference, and it was a big WOW.
They were able to gather more than 1.500 people to a .NET conference. This is not an easy thing to do, but with a lineup of speakers like the one that they had (including Scott Guthrie and Richard Campbell) you can do it.
The event was a big success, including the party at the end of the first day. The quality of the sessions was high, and I was happy to see that each session was 1 hour. The current trend is around 40-45 minutes, and many times you don't have enough time to go very deep.

I had the opportunity to deliver two sessions at this event. The first one was technical, and the second one was a non-technical session. You can find below the slides and abstract from my sessions.
... and YES, I had a great time here, in Poland.
Title: Serverless functions or microservices
Abstract: A trick question in the cloud era, where we have both options available at our feet. What should we use? What are the tradeoffs? Why I should use and not the other one? If you join this session you might find answers to these questions.

Title: 13 mistakes of a developer
Abstract: After more than a decade in the IT industry, I’ve seen and done a lot of mistakes not only from the business side but also from people and company management. This is not a session, this is a talk between IT geeks, where I will share with you funny stories of my life that could ruin or create a unicorn.

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

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 provi...
