SSW Update - SSW Data Onion

[the cutting edge]

G'day Developers!

SSW Data Onion – Helping you Simplify your Data Layer

At SSW we build software for a large range of clients, from startups to massive enterprises and even our own internal projects. We care that the software we build is secure, maintainable and testable.

Successful devs use great tools, great frameworks, and follow best practices. Choosing great tools like ReSharper and Octopus Deploy is easy, but many developers struggle with architecture decisions for their .NET projects. I recommend that developers follow the Onion Architecture. One of the most common pain points is the right way to implement Data Access using the Repository and Unit of Work patterns. Implementing these enterprise data access patterns involves lots of complex up-front setup, and once implemented the plumbing code needs to be maintained.

Keep reading to find out how SSW created Data Onion to solve this problem

Xamarin.Forms & MVVM | Dev Superpowers Episode 10

In episode 10 of our Dev Superpowers series David Burela will show how you can combine the cross platform native UI capabilities of Xamarin.Forms with the clean structuring of MVVM (Model, View, ViewModel). You will learn the very basics of what MVVM is and be taken through how to implement it into your mobile application.

David starts by building an app with standard event handlers on buttons, then takes it through the evolution of implementing MVVM into the application from scratch, with explanations throughout on the benefits you are getting at each step.

Xamarin.Forms will be demonstrated to show how you can define your UI once, and have your app have a native look and feel on all devices automatically.

"Cloud-Based Machine Learning for the Developer" - Peter Myers

Machine Learning is a subfield of computer science concerned with systems that learn from data. In this session, learn how a Microsoft Azure Machine Learning solution comes to life: From the creation of a workspace, to the preparation of data, to experimentation with machine learning algorithms, and then finally to the integration and embedding of predictive insights. This session has been specifically designed to describe machine learning fundamentals, and to help enable and inspire existing developers taking their first steps to leverage cloud-based predictive models delivered with Azure Machine Learning. It is guaranteed to thrill you with potential, and excite you with the relative ease in which it can be accomplished.
