[Post Event] ITCamp Conference 2017 - Cluj-Napoca

What a week! ITCamp Conference took place in Cluj-Napoca Speakers all around the globe joined forces with ITCamp Community team and delivered high quality sessions. As in the last years, topics that are covered by ITCamp Conference were from all technologies - JavaScript to Containers, Azure to Raspberry, OOP to Machine Learning.
The speaker list is pretty long and I invite you to check it out. ITCamp Conference had Google employee's, Principal Program Managers from Microsoft and of course a lot of architects and deep technical people from the field.
Being part of such an event it is a delight. Having live high quality sessions in Cluj-Napoca it is a unique opportunity, offered by ITCamp Community each year.
In figures, ITCamp Community looks very interesting - more than 40 speakers, that deliver 40+ sessions during the two days of the conference to more than 500 attendees.

What a great conference! What a week! Great sessions, great speakers, wonderful people - all of them in one place for 2 days.

This year I delivered a session about .NET and .NET Core from IoT perspective. I done a interesting performance profiling of .NET Core running on Raspberry PI 3 with two different OS (Windows 10 IoT Core and Ubuntu Mate) and integration with Azure IoT Hub. If you want to find out the results you can check my slides.

Title: The fight for surviving in the IoT world

Abstract: The world is changing. Every day new devices appears around us. How will .NET survive in a word that is changing, in a word that migrates from mainstream to small and cheap devices fast and without mercy. The session will attack how .NET can survive and what are the new features of .NET that help us (the developers) to do this transition.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users. This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users. Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified

On the devs machines, everything has fine. The classic problem – on my machine it’s working. The CI has the following configuration: TeamCity .NET 4.51 EF 6.0.2 VS2013 It see
