[Post-Event] ITCamp Winter Community Event (Cluj-Napoca), December 9, 2016

By
At the end of this month we had the ITCamp Community Event. This was the last event for this year, so we decided to do something special. In comparison with our past events, we tried to focus more on devices and hardware. We even managed to have a session where HoloLences were presented live - such a cool and interesting presentation.
The event was fully sponsored by Endava. A big thank you for them. Without local IT companies, we wouldn't be able to organize this events.

There were more than 80 people that participate at the event. I'm happy to meet people that are interested to find out more about new technologies and trends. Nowadays staying up to date with all the new technologies and trends is hard and time consuming. This is way I'm such a big fun of this kind of meetings.

The community event had 3 speakers that talk about System Development, Raspberry PI and Azure IoT and HoloLences. You can find more about each session below:

  • Systems Development in a Changing World (Eoin Woods): The way we build systems is changing. From our history of monolithic systems, then distributed systems, to Internet connected systems, we are now entering the era of cloud-hosted, microservice based, pay-for-usage system development. What does the history of software development tell us about the challenges of this new environment? And how does our approach to building systems need to evolve in order to meet them?
  • Empower your Raspberry PI using Azure IoT Suite (Radu Vunvulea): What can you do with smart devices nowadays? In the next 45 minutes we will take a look on what we can do With Raspberry PI and how this device can become the brain of an intelligent house or office. The session will contain a lot of demos explaining what we can do to empower this smart device with the IoT Intelligence on top of Azure. We will also use NodeJs and C++ beside C# code. 
  • Augmented Reality in Industrial Predictive Maintenance, including HoloLens (Tibor Molnar): Industry 4.0 comes with interconnected machines using IoT, cloud computing and machine learning (beside many other things). We at iQuest are working on an end to end IoT solution architecture which includes gateways for devices, IoT hubs, maintenance case predictions, real time business intelligence and augmented reality support for devices maintenance and predictive maintenance. Additionally, we are testing Augmented Reality to provide a better experience and support for field engineers doing devices maintenance work. This session will present high level an example IoT architecture, then will focus on details regarding how to implement holographic and object augmentation experiences in devices maintenance using Microsoft Hololens, Unity, Visual Studio and the PTC Vuforia platform.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
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...

Can User Technical Profile Influence AI Architecture Decisions?

By
In the last few days, I ran a small experiment on Devin/Windsurf/Cascade, BMAD, and LLM-based architecture decisions. The initial concern was simple: if an AI coding assistant knows something about the user, for example, that the user is a Java developer or a .NET developer, can this information influence the architecture and technology stack that the AI will propose? This question is important because many companies are starting to use AI tools not only for coding but also for product discovery, architecture, documentation, and technical decision-making. If the AI is influenced by the developer's personal profile, the result may not be fully neutral. It may look like a business or architecture decision, but in reality, it may be partially shaped by the context of the person using the tool. The test was done using BMAD with Devin/Windsurf/Cascade. The scenario was a unified field service operations platform. The task was to let BMAD refine the product, define the architecture and s...

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

By
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. Make sure that the assembly-qualified name is used and that the assembly is available to the running application. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=260882 for more information. at System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.DependencyResolution.ProviderServicesFactory.GetInstance(String providerTypeName, String providerInvariantName) This error happened only on the Continuous Integration machine. 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...
