Dev Superpowers Episode 12 | Jumping into Windows Internet of Things development by using the Universal Windows Platform

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.

Chris will show you 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.

Webinar: Dev Superpowers - Building an Onion Architecture with Entity Framework

Cost: No Charge

Within this presentation Brendan Richards will explore and demonstrate how features of Entity Framework can assist in the implementation of a domain-centric, persistence-ignorant Onion Architecture design pattern.

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.
