Clean Low Code – How to keep your Power Automate Flows lean & clean

As many of you already know, Microsoft’s Power Platform is revolutionizing how businesses can digitize their processes in a very cost-effective way. Over the last year, more and more of our customers at SSW have chosen to go the low-code route instead of custom development. Last year, I spoke to you about Power Apps with Calum Simpson and you got a good idea of the how a solution is put together with costings.

Let’s talk about the next best product in the Power Platform and how to simplify your Microsoft Power Automate Flows.

Power Automate is a cloud-based service that is awesome for connecting services and creating workflows. In the old days, if employees wanted something automated, they would have to call up the development team and go through a long bureaucratic process to get a traditional solution built with code. Today it is scarily easy.

Developing Flexible Authorization Capabilities in ASP.NET Core | Jason Taylor

ASP.NET Core Identity supports the essentials for authentication and authorization across many application types such as web, API, and mobile. With Identity, authorization is a breeze! Developers can implement authorization 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'.

In this talk, Jason Taylor will demonstrate an approach using permission-based authorization 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.

Education in the Cloud – Campion's Digital Journey with Alexander Candy-Levey, Michael Smedley and Patrick Zhao - LIVE at SSW Melbourne

Come see how four million students are moving from paper to digital, leveraging containerized microservices for scale, and integrating with a complex partner network as well as the national schools ecosystem. Campion Education is the largest supplier of education resources to primary and secondary schools in Australia, including print, digital and stationery.

Years ago, Campion sourced an e-reader platform from the U.S. as students migrated away from paper-based textbooks. Working with SSW, Campion have undertaken the immense task of regaining ownership by building their own e-reader platform, and solving complex technical challenges along the way.

In this talk, the inter-organisational team comprised of Patrick Zhao and Michael Smedley from SSW, and Alexander Candy-Levy from Campion, will take us through the complexities of dealing with multiple school IT systems across many states, complex book licensing and API management with various publishers. All while providing a stable user experience for hundreds of thousands of students and teachers who depend on their textbooks every day.

This talk will focus on the architecture to accommodate the at-scale performance needed, the Single Sign-on (SSO), Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) and Learning Management System (LMS) required to allow other publishers and schools to authenticate, and some of the deployment and cloud setup required by the SaaS product.
