With a background in finance and a history of great communication and a passion for problem-solving, Ed Hansberry, an Assistant Director with P3 Adaptive, embodies the spirit of P3 Adaptive. Ed was recently awarded his 13th Microsoft MVP Award so of course, we wanted to know more about his achievement, his passions, his adaptability, and most of all, his insights on change so we invited him to join us today for a chat. Early on, in the conversation, Rob and Ed delve into defining change and that led to a lively discussion on the process of change, the successful process of change, and the difference between them. Here's a hint, it's always the people! Knowing that people drive success, Ed extensively volunteers his time in the Microsoft Power BI User Community supporting users around the world with problems and questions around Power BI and, since he has been recognized as a Super User by Microsoft, we really can say that helping people is his superpower. He is leading change one question at a time. This episode isn't just about change, though, the evolution of technology and software is embedded throughout the conversation from cube functions to the hidden power of the innocuously named OLAP dropdown in Excel. And finally, we get some great insight on formerly cutting-edge technology that has since gone obsolete. We hear a firsthand account of the tragic end of the Microsoft phone.  You never know what you will learn when the conversation starts to flow.

Episode Summary: We caught up with Jeff Hicks at the PowerShell and Global DevOps summit. He talks about how he always wanted to be a teacher and how PowerShell has helped him achieve that. We also discuss the holy trinity of PowerShell Cmdlet: Get-Help, Get-Command, and Get-Member, which will help you find the command you need, learn how to use it, and give you everything you would want to know about the objects it returns. Those commands can help you move through almost any roadblock while learning PowerShell. We end with a general discussion about PowerShell, and what we love most about it.   Guest Bio and links: Jeffery Hicks is an IT veteran with over 30 years of experience, much of it spent as an IT infrastructure consultant specializing in Microsoft server technologies with an emphasis on automation and efficiency.

Chris is a 13-year Microsoft MVP Award winner for his contributions to the software development community.   Topics of Discussion: [1:53] Chris talks about his career background and highlights, and the path that led him to be a lifetime software developer. The first application Chris wrote was a game on Apple TV, and when he first started his major professional career, he was building a lot of distributed systems. [5:44] Alt .Net became the community to say that there may be a better way to do this, with C# and .Net. [7:35] Chris gives us a full rundown of his stack. [8:50] What type of environment does Chris work in? [10:28] What exactly is MassTransit? [14:20] Chris and Jeffrey discuss Azure Service Bus and RabbitMQ. The most widely used transport with MassTransit is RabbitMQ, and for good reason because it's a solid message broker. [18:40] Is MassTransit just for the asynchronous or is there any way for the two programs to talk to each other? [23:04] What flexibility does MassTransit give? [25:51] Has Chris seen a way to consolidate the serialization in the DTO types, so that you don't have to have specific types all over the place just because you happen to be going over a different channel? [31:00] Is it fair to ask whether or not you want your server endpoints to be directly called by your customers, or provide them with an API that lets some of their code run in their process? [37:25] When something's wrong with the processor, how do you get back on track? How can we even prevent it? [42:32] MassTransit is free, and Chris explains there will never be a charge to use it.   Mentioned in this Episode: Architect Tips — New video podcast!

The MVP recognition lasts for a year and is awarded for a person’s Microsoft related activity, contributions and influence over the previous year. The rules and guidelines to getting awarded as a Microsoft MVP are not strictly defined. The reason for this is that every Microsoft MVP contributes to the community in different ways.

Il programma MVP (Most Valuable Professional) Award di Microsoft è il modo che Microsoft stessa ha di ringraziare i leader eccezionali delle community indipendenti che condividono la propria passione, esperienza tecnica e competenza effettiva dei prodotti Microsoft con altre persone. Microsoft riconosce il ruolo fondamentale che queste persone ricoprono nell'adozione e nello sviluppo della tecnologia, nonché nel fornire assistenza agli utenti con i prodotti Microsoft. Questo ha ispirato il riconoscimento Microsoft MVP Award. Oggi, ci sono più di 4.000 MVP in tutto il mondo. Questi rappresentano più di 90 paesi, parlano oltre 40 lingue diverse, rispondono a più di 10 milioni di domande all'anno e sono riconosciuti come esperti per quasi 90 tecnologie Microsoft, rispecchiando la portata dei nostri prodotti e delle nostre community globali.In questa puntata (ultima della serie registrata ai Community Days 2015), Alessandro Teglia (Microsoft MVP Award Program - EMEA Regional Manager) ci racconta meglio il programma cercando di far comprendere lo scopo e l'importanza dello stesso nell'ecosistema Microsoft.
