Benjamin Day & Brian Randell

DevOps is all about software delivery. Create an automated, streamlined path from development to testing to deployment. Great. So how do you do it with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core? How do you deploy the SQL Server schema? How do you deal with EF Core schema migrations? What about unit testing? How do you handle database connection strings? What about deployments to Azure? How do you get organizational buy-in? Don't worry. We've got you covered. In this hands-on lab, Brian and Ben will walk you through creating an automated DevOps flow using Team Foundation Server 2017 that will allow you to build, test, and deploy your ASP.NET Core & EF Core application. The skills you learn and the things you'll implement in this workshop will work in either TFS2017 or VSTS.
You will learn: * The psychology of DevOps in an organization * How to define a DevOps Pipeline * How to work with an ASP.NET Core and EF Core application with good DevOps practices
Topics include:
* What is DevOps & Why Do I Care? * Version Control & Git * Team Foundation Server Builds * Enterprise Entity Framework Core (EF Core) * Database & DevOps: The Hard Part * Team Foundation Server Releases & Environments * Miscellaneous DevOps Topics: Selenium, Feature Flags, Docker, App Insights
Attendee Requirements
You must provide your own laptop computer for this hands-on lab.
You will only need a computer that supports Wi-Fi and that can connect to a Microsoft Azure hosted virtual machine via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). If you're running Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, you're ready to go!
If you're running Windows 7, you'll want to make sure you're have installed the latest Remote Desktop client. You can get it at <A HREF="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2923545" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2923545</A>.
You can also use a Mac running OS/X 10.7 (Lion) or later with an Intel 64-bit processor. You'll want to install the latest Microsoft Remote Desktop client from the Mac App Store. You can find it via <A HREF="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12</A>
Oh...and also you need to actually show up.  If you sign up but for whatever reason you can't actually make it to the event, PLEASE cancel your reservation so that someone else can have your spot!  We promise that we won't be offended if you cancel but we WILL be offended if you "no show".  
Why Is This Event $20?!?!
We're not making any money off of this but there are three reasons we're charging you $20.
Reason #1: We're going to donate at least $10 to <A HREF="http://www.redcross.org/about-us/our-work/disaster-relief/hurricane-relief" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">the Red Cross Hurricane Relief fund</A> for each paid attendee. 
Reason #2: The Azure VM that we're creating for each student costs money.  
Reason #3: It drives us crazy when people sign up for events and then don't show up.  This is our way of motivating you actually show up when you sign up.  If you register and can't make it, feel free to cancel...but try to give us a few days notice, ok?
