A farewell to Brian Harry
The news that Brian Harry is moving on from Microsoft has been bitter-sweet. I'm happy for him, of course, but I'm also sad for those of us he leaves behind. He has been a wonderful friend and leader for many years.
Brian has been integral to Microsoft for a very long time. He created VSS (Visual Source Safe) and was one of the core members who invented .NET. He then invented TFS and then moved to become one of Microsoft's first cloud services for developers.
Most recently, Brian has been head of our beloved Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS). The VSTS team is huge, with many amazing people that do the magic for us developers to enjoy every day. It's made up of so many really cool individual products (such as version control, work items, builds, releases, packaging, and many more), and they all work better because they're packaged under one umbrella. Brian was the person who held it all together.
Keep reading for more about Brian's achievements, and a video interview with the main himself.

Brisbane Full Stack User Group
Session 1: Unit Tests with EF Core SQLite – presented by Jernej Kavka
When trying to test applications functionalities, sometimes we need to verify that the data flows correctly, technically a integration test. While EF Core has In-Memory DB, it does not have all of functionalities required to properly test.
We'll dive deep into SQLite, why should you use it for unit testing and why should you avoid it.
Session 2: Full Stack Reactive Programming – presented by Brendan Richards
Like many developers, Brendan first started using reactive patterns with RxJS and JavaScript-based user interfaces.
But reactive programming is a pattern that can apply in many more places and Reactive libraries have been released for many languages – including Reactive Extensions for C#.
This talk explores using Reactive Extensions on the server side under ASP.NET Core.
