6th DDOG on June 9th

Our sixth edition of The Dutch DevOps & GitHub Community will take place on June 9th!

What is DDOG

We want to create a community for content related to DevOps and GitHub. We believe GitHub has a lot to offer and deserves a user group in the Netherlands. But we also love the different elements that enable DevOps. So we decided to combine those two into the community you are looking at.
Our goal is to have a platform where we can teach, learn and meet each other.

We are proud to announce our great speakers!

How to really work as a team - from sleepy to strong pair programming

Stacy Cashmore

So many people think that pair programming is a boring waste of time and effort. I’m here to explain how our team made it work, and what benefits we got out of it!

I love working in a team, bouncing ideas off each other and using our combined strengths to produce something that as individuals we wouldn’t be able to come up with.

One way I like to do this is pair programming. But, when I talk to people about this, I often get told it’s a waste of time. That it’s about one person working hard whilst the other looks on, superfluous to the process. And let’s face it, most of us have experienced this when trying it out!

But I’m going to show you how we went from this sleepy type of pair programming to being super productive when working with multiple developers at one machine!

Not the one person working, one person staring into space type of pair programming, but actually providing value to each other, making the extra effort worthwhile, and bringing extra benefits to the team as a whole.

Creating the Azure Functions Updates Twitterbot

Marc Duiker

I created a serverless Twitterbot which tweets when new releases are made available in public GitHub repositories related to Azure Functions.

In this session, I’ll walk you through the serverless application, highlighting which Azure cloud services and Azure Function specific libraries are in use and why they’ve been chosen. I’ll show two architectural patterns which are used: function chaining and fan-out/fan-in and I’ll cover the C# clients for GitHub and Twitter and describe their limitations.

Finally, I’ll also go into continuous integration & deployment aspects so you’ll end up with a complete picture of what is necessary to deliver a serverless solution to the Azure cloud.

He started Azure Functions University, a free and open source learning curriculum on GitHub, where everyone can learn about Azure Functions in their own pace.}
