So long, on-premises relational database, and thanks for all the fish! In my experience, developers are daunted by the triple punch of giving up relational databases like SQL, allowing their data to live in the cloud, and moving from hands-on hardware to turn key solutions. In this talk, I'll take you on a guided tour of the Cosmos (DB). Learn how it is structured, what benefits it provides, and see hands-on coding examples using the cross-platform .NET Core with examples using SQL API, MongoDB, Gremlin (yes, we have those) or Graph-based, Table storage and Cassandra.

Any THAT Conference attendee knows that the conference is about the community, not just the event. That community exists beyond your job and your technical career; it’s a passion and a commitment to a lifestyle with many rewards. That is why each year, during the weekend prior to the event, That Conference partners with a non-profit to lend our technical expertise towards building tools to solve important issues and to change our world and make it a little better.

\r\n

This year, THAT Conference will continue our multiyear partnership with Humanitarian Toolbox, a charitable organization with the purpose of delivering software and service solutions for disaster relief organizations.

\r\n

THAT Conference will be hosting the 2018 THAT GiveCamp Saturday August 4 starting at 9am (CST) through Sunday August 5 ending at 5pm (CST). If you are interested in contributing onsite during this time, please register during general registration for That Conference. This is a free event for all paid attendees and food will be provided Saturday breakfast through Sunday lunch. Room rates will be at the block weekend room rate (a little more than the weekly rate) if they are purchased with the conference rooms. Be sure to let Kalahari knows you are renting rooms for That Conference and Pre-Conference.

\r\n

You can find out more information about the Humanitarian Toolbox organization at http://www.htbox.org/ and keep tabs and contribute to their projects all year round at https://github.com/HTBox/ .

\r\n

Whether you want to learn something new, champion a technical challenge, show the world “your stuff”, do something good you can feel great about, or collaborate with other developers solving challenging problems, THAT GiveCamp is for you. Register and take the time to give back and grow. Hope to see you in August for another fun GiveCamp!

Augmented and virtual reality are the hottest new technologies on the market today. In 2017, Apple introduced a framework called ARKit that made it easier to develop augmented reality applications for the iPhone. One powerful aspect of this framework is the ability to interface with preexisting game engines like Unity to harness their power to create complex virtual worlds.

I can fix that.\r\n\r\nCome watch me demonstrate Vue.js basics with live-coded examples. My in-depth explanations will help you understand what Vue is doing under the covers. Along the way you'll start to understand why so many developers love Vue.js.\r\nBring your laptop if you want to follow along. Code will be shared on Github prior to session.\r\n\r\nAgenda:\r\n- 10 mins: What is Vue.js? Who created it? Why is it so popular among developers? (spoilers: simple, small, performant, reactive)\r\n- 30 mins: Live-coded demo and explanation of basic Vue.js constructs (v-bind, v-if/v-show, v-for, v-on, v-model, etc).\r\n- 05 mins: Use these basics to live-code a Todo app in less than 5 mins (time me)\r\n- 05 mins: Links to resources for further exploration\r\n- 10 mins: Q&A\r\n\r\nWhat you'll get out of it:\r\n- Never used a JavaScript framework? This is the perfect *slow* intro where you'll really understand what's happening. If you've tried Angular or React and given up in frustration, you'll be pleasantly surprised by Vue.\r\n- Experienced Angular or React developer? You'll see many similarities in Vue. After the session we can talk about the perennial question: \"When will the industry stop inventing new JS frameworks?\" and \"Would it be a good thing if that happened?\"\r\n- Experienced Vue.js developer? You'll find the examples extremely basic. Depending on your knowledge of the internals, you may benefit from the in-depth discussion about how these basics work.\r\n\r\nTechnologies Demonstrated:\r\n- Vue.js framework basics\r\n- Codepen.io\r\n- Visual Studio Code editor\r\n- Chrome browser + devtools + Vue.js devtools extension\r\n- Github (you can use npm to run my demo code on your machine)\r\n- HTML, CSS, JavaScript\r\n\r\nBackground on \"The Big 3\":\r\n- Angular started the frontend framework revolution. But some find it complex and heavy-weight.\r\n- React provided a lighter-weight alternative with improved performance and more flexibility (it's a library, not a a framework). Still, some find it complex and don't prefer the HTML in JS.\r\n- Vue.js is has arisen as an alternative and received a lot of developer love. It received more Github stars than any other project for the past 2 years. And, as of June 2018, it eclipsed React to become the most-starred frontend JavaScript framework.","PrimaryCategory":"Web","PrimaryCategoryDisplayText":"Web","SecondaryCategory":"Languages","SecondaryCategoryDisplayText":"Languages","Level":"100","ScheduledDateTime":"2018-08-06T10:30:00","ScheduledRoom":"Iron wood","IsFamilyApproved":false,"IsUserFavorite":null,"Accepted":true,"Canceled":false,"Speakers":[{"FirstName":"David","LastName":"Dangerfield","HeadShot":"/cloud/profilephotos/David-Dangerfield-3771e6f7-45b3-4bd0-88ea-18424e4904d8-636623448791867389.jpg","UserName":"dangerfield","Biography":"I'm a software developer with 18 yrs experience.

How are these used behind the scenes with services you may be consuming like image recognition, text translation, voice recognition, etc.?\r\nWe will cover various different types of them:\r\nDeep (DNN), Shallow (SNN), Recurrent (RNN), De/Convolutional (CNN), Artificial (ANN), Modular (MNN), Generative Adversarial (GAN), Auto Encoder (AENN) etc.\r\nCome find out what each type of AI network is about through visual demonstrations of the algorithms and processes, while also discussing where these are used like in TensorFlow, Microsoft Cognitive Services & CNTK, IBM Watson, Alexa, Cortona and other services. You’ll walk away having a better understanding of neural networks, hopefully be able to converse about them with other techies, and when it makes sense to use the different approaches.

If you've ever publish a .NET code library for reuse on different types of .NET projects, you're probably already familiar with some of the strategies for doing this on different flavors of the .NET Framework: multiple compiles, portable class libraries (PCLs), etc. Did you know that Microsoft has come up with a new standard that helps you share your libraries easily by targeting a new, virtual .NET Framework called .NET Standard?

\r\n

In this session, I'll show you how to write code that compiles once and can be shared across disparate environments--Mono for iOS and Android, Windows, Mac and Linux via .NET Core, and Universal Windows Platform (UWP). It can even be reused on versions of .NET that haven't been invented yet.

\r\n

If you want to publish a reusable component, or just need to share code in multiple project, come learn the new and better way to do it with .NET Standard.

Having started my collection with several apps into the Apple App Store and Google Play, using native frameworks and cross-platform solutions with Xamarin, the Flutter tools are very compelling to budding mobile entomologists. We will explore what this new species Flutter brings to the table to create compelling applications and solve some common pain points in existing platforms. We will introduce the Flutter tools, platform, and development lifecycle to see the promise and delivery of some exciting advancements like "hot reloading" and "visual debugging" and a trip to the "observatory". The Flutter core design features are very attractive because of the ability to quickly develop, instantly test, debug, build and release a cross-platform mobile application. A combination of live demonstrations and development will illustrate the benefits and challenges of the rookie and still evolving Flutter toolset, that shows it to have the promise of a future all-star.

\r\n

We will take half of our time on safari to introduce and demo the new Flutter platform, languages, frameworks, and development lifecycle. The second-half we’ll code through a Flutter mobile application with some common UI widgets, phone feature libraries, and services. Then demo, debug, and deploy to devices and emulators for both iOS and Android.

\r\n

Campers with experience with mobile development using an existing platform will help bring context to the discussion, but would certainly not be a requirement.

Functional programming can be a new and intimidating topic for folks, especially those who have been professional object oriented programmers building great things. The concepts aren’t hard, but thinking functionality when coming from an OO mindset can be difficult.

\r\n

In this talk, we are going to talk about functional programming using JavaScript. We will introduce the benefits of functional programming. Techniques such as pure function and immutability will be delved into. We will talk about the negative impact of side effects and global variables. Finally, we will examine the use of the main functional keywords in JavaScript; map, reduce and filter.\r\nCome jump into the world of functional programing with JavaScript in this demo filled presentation.

In recent years, Microsoft has matured VSTS/TFS Release Management capabilities to allow it to support many common application types out of the box. Web apps, Azure, .NET core can all be handled pretty easily. But what if your team needs to support something less mainstream? You're in luck; Microsoft has provided hooks to extend the tool to support, well, almost anything. At my company, we've extended the tool to be able to support most of our technologies, using a variety of tricks and techniques ranging from simple command line hacks to full custom release tasks. This talk will go over the options available, with real examples of how we handle these scenarios for products/technologies such as:

\r\n

Ad-Hoc SQL Updates\r\nReporting Services\r\nIntegration Services\r\nCOBOL\r\nBiztalk\r\nChef Cookbooks\r\nAzure ARM Templates\r\nAudit Requirements\r\n(Insert Your (least) Favorite technology here!)

\r\n

I'll also provide guidance on how to make your own tasks so you too can release all the things!
