Tech World on TikTok – Is it for you?

I’ve been using social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram for many years. They are great to promote videos from SSW TV, get tech news out, share an SSW Rule, and give my general thoughts about software development. I first saw TikTok in China, later I saw my kids using it, and wondered if should use it for myself or SSW.

A little research shows that over 1.5 *billion* people are using it and even Scott Hanselman is now a “cool” TikToker. I loved his most recent video where he gave us a sneak peek into the Microsoft Archives – so many fun memories!

I think you and your company should adopt TikTok too. Let’s dive in!

Prototype in Production - From Tech Debt to a Verifiably Stable Application | Luke Parker

Luke has battle-tested this approach working with a multi-team client organization with this exact scenario: a prototype gone too far! Luke will demonstrate how to measure tech debt, recognize anti-patterns, and slowly recover. You will learn how to tackle the seemingly impossible task of refactoring a prototype now in production into a Verifiably Stable Application (VSA).

See a cool demo, and learn how tools like xUnit (with Moq & FluentAssertions) turn a non-trivial code-base prototype into a VSA enterprise application with as little refactoring as possible.

Developing Flexible Authorisation Capabilities in ASP.NET Core with Jason Taylor - LIVE at SSW Brisbane

ASP.NET Core Identity supports the essentials for authentication and authorisation across many application types such as web, API, and mobile. With Identity, authorisation is a breeze! Developers can implement authorisation checks using numerous methods including roles, claims, and policies. However, this approach is not without limitations.

For larger and more complex systems, you may quickly find yourself stuck in the depths of 'Permissions Hell'. For example, updating authorisation requirements will require code changes, along with the time taken to test and deploy these changes. Checking user or role permissions is also tricky, you'll need to review the code or documentation - and hope the documentation is still up to date! As systems grow, authorisation requirements will grow, and these limitations can slow new development and decrease maintainability.

In this talk, Jason Taylor will demonstrate an approach using permission-based authorisation to overcome these limitations by building a flexible approach to managing roles and permissions from within your system. This will improve the maintainability and visibility of access control across your system. Putting the power into the hands of application users and administrators, rather than developers.

Jason Taylor is a passionate developer, architect, trainer, and mentor with +20 years of professional experience. He has worked with .NET since 2001, and currently specializes in developing enterprise applications utilizing .NET Core, ASP.NET Core, EF Core, Angular, Vue, and Azure. Jason is an expert on Clean Architecture with .NET Core, and has one of the most sought after GitHub repos containing an awesome template for using Clean Architecture. Jason loves a challenge and is skilled at progressing from a simple proposal into a well-defined, coded, and tested solution.
