Before going to the school, Andrew, TJ, and I went through
the website
touchdevelop.com, which was developed by
Microsoft Research. TJ and I
expressed our doubts about the website to Andrew that the
year 7 kids without any programming knowledge, would
understand anything from the site, get any value from it,
or even enjoy themselves.
|
Boy, were we wrong!
|
Keep reading to find out how the kids first time
trying
programming turned out.

From Devs' Oops to DevOps
|
It's probably safe to say that most development teams are
Agile, and if they are not…well God help them! But
regardless of which side you are on, nothing saves you if
you start off on the wrong foot. There are a lot of
pitfalls before your software goes into production, and
you will learn about the most common mistakes and bad
decisions that are taken in a hurry to get a product out,
as well as what best practices you should follow to ensure
your DevOps cycle is ticking like a well-oiled machine.
You will also learn how great tools like TFS (for
orchestration), Octopus Deploy or Release Management (for
deployment), SonarQube (for managing technical debt) or
Docker (for app isolation) help you in that manner.
