G'day Developers!
SSW is proud of another project - Brisbane Catholic Education Case Study
Brisbane Catholic Education (BCE) has a great track record building solutions on the
Microsoft stack and are, in fact, one of the largest users of
SharePoint in the Southern Hemisphere. BCE engaged SSW to build a strategic planning
tool that would be super powerful, flexible, and easy to use
for all of their schools administrators across Queensland.
Having engaged other software development companies previously, BCE told me how stunned
they were by the rate at which SSW developers were able to
convert ideas into quality working software. This was the first experience BCE had
working with a Scrum team and I’m glad it was a good one.
I care the guys gather feedback, make changes and release to production. They went
beyond this and were able to get the software into production
each sprint. I congratulate the SSW team comprised of Brendan Richards, Ben Cull, Adam
Stephensen, Damian Brady and Igor Goldobin on a great job.
Since collaborating on Project Sparrow, BCE have successfully applied the knowledge and
practices they learnt from SSW across many other projects
for various divisions of the organisation.

Webinar: Dev Superpowers - Jumping into Windows 10 and the Internet of Things
IoT development using the Universal App Platform
Cost: No Charge
In this presentation, Chris Briggs will teach you how to jump head first into Windows
Internet of Things (IoT) development by using the Universal Windows Platform (UWP),
allowing developers to build one solution across Microsoft hardware platforms.
You will learn the basics of Windows Universal app development with a focus on building
apps for devices running Windows 10 IoT Core, through to how to integrate the solution
with Windows Azure.
You will see Chris build a simple Universal app, deploy it to Raspberry Pi 2, then
expand upon the application to read input from sensors and finally establish
communication with Azure. This will demonstrate how to take a simple "hello world" thing
and make it a useful citizen of IoT.
Windows IoT development using Universal apps will make it obvious that there is no
better time as a .NET developer to jump into IoT!
Teaching Points
- What you need to know about the breadboard and GPIO
- How make the sensors sing
- How to dance with Azure
About the presenter:
|
Chris Briggs is a Senior Software Developer at SSW, passionate about IoT,
Scrum, Security, Windows Universal Apps and Xamarin. All the Devs at SSW
have been asking Chris what he thinks the Internet of Things will mean for
their day to day lives. It ranges from the impossible to the improbable,
from automating their coffee breaks, to telling them exactly when the next
bus will arrive!

"Onion Architecture Without the Tears" - Brendan Richards
"In spaghetti code the relations between the pieces of code are so tangled that it is
nearly impossible to add or change something without unpredictably breaking something
somewhere else."
This talk explores techniques in avoiding spaghetti code including Onion Architecture,
the Repository Pattern, and Dependency Injection followed by how to effectively apply
these principles to your persistence layer.
Finally, Brendan will introduce SSW Data Onion – a free library developed to speed up the
day-to-day development of Data-Driven enterprise web applications using Entity Framework
Code First.
About the presenter:
|
Brendan Richards has been developing enterprise web applications for quite
some time across a number of platforms before finally picking .NET as the
"currently winning" choice. He Joined the team at SSW in 2012 and is now a
Solution Architect based in Brisbane.
