| 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. |
