What are the threats your cloud application and infrastructure are facing? While at NDC Oslo, Richard chatted with Daniela Cruzes and Romina Druta about their work building threat models for cloud-based applications. Daniela discusses how modeling helps to understand security concerns before applications are deployed and attacked - often, security retrofits are time-consuming and expensive, so thinking them through beforehand has enormous benefits. Romina dives into the supply chain side of threats - open-source libraries with backdoors, even down to development tools with malware. There are a lot of threats - but when you look, there are often great solutions as well. You'll need to collaborate with development to secure things, but security isn't optional and is worth fighting for.LinksCloud-Native Application Protection PlatformArgoVSCode Malicious Extention ThreatsRecorded June 12, 2024
What does it cost to recover from a disaster? While at NDC Oslo, Richard chatted with Natalie Serebryakova about her work helping companies understand their disaster recovery costs and what that process can teach you about your infrastructure. Natalie talks about different types of disasters, from the deletion of a production server to a major outage caused by a fire at a data center - and the power of working through the scenario to determine what needs to be backed up and what it takes to recover. The conversation also dives into the scrutiny of implementation - often, decisions are made that are no longer understood, or systems have changed enough that they could be improved. The result can be lowering DR costs, improving performance, and reducing operating overhead! LinksSOC2DataDogRecorded June 12, 2024

Ready for a story of cloud scaling from the trenches? While at NDC Oslo, Carl and Richard talked with Meg Gotshall about her experiences scaling the Fotoware service with her team. Meg talks about the limits of auto-scaling, where all the services are scaled up, but the bottlenecks exist in only one place - and how dashboards help to provide more visibility into the problem. But even when you sense the problem, how do you fix it? The conversation digs into breaking services into their containers and AppService plans so they can be scaled independently - initially for diagnostics but ultimately for production!

Ready to try on F#? While at NDC Oslo, Carl and Richard chatted with Scott Wlaschin about what C# developers need to know to get started with F#. Scott talks a bit about his own history with development which ties in with the evolution of functional programming which in a way lost out to object-oriented programming back in the 1980s. Not that the two approaches are mutually exclusive, and Scott discusses how objects and functions live happily together in F#. It's a different way of thinking, but can be a very productive way to build applications - check it out!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

How do you get to know your customers? While at NDC Oslo, Carl and Richard talked to Diane Zajac-Woodie about empathy mapping, a process for trying to internalize the dimensions of your various customers. Diane talks about considering various dimensions of people, looking at what the see, hear, think, say and do. Empathy mapping is a way to get your team more engaged around what customer needs are, but they're only guesses - you also have to craft experiments to figure out the truth! In the end, the goal is to make the best software you can.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

After years of waning, .NET is on the rise - is it time for a renaissance? Ian Cooper says yes! The first of the NDC Oslo shows for 2017 starts out focused on a blog post that Ian published in February 2017 calling for a .NET Renaissance, and what it takes for it to come true. The move to open source has helped a lot, as it opens the door to what people really look for in a thriving community - rather than being a product created by Microsoft, it is a set of tools supporting by Microsoft but with direct community involvement.

Is Silverlight back? Carl and Richard talk to Steve Sanderson about a demo he did at NDC Oslo that blew some minds. The demo involved using WebAssembly to put a version of the .NET Runtime and C# into the browser. Yes, that's right, Steve found a way to write C# that runs in the browser with NO PLUGIN. It's only an experiment, and there's no XAML to be found, so it's not really Silverlight, but it certainly gets you thinking - what if you could run any language you wanted in the browser?

It's only an experiment, and there's no XAML to be found, so it's not really Silverlight, but it certainly gets you thinking - what if you could run any language you wanted in the browser? What would your world be like then?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
Ready to learn R? While at NDC Oslo, Carl and Richard sat down with Jamie Dixon and Evelina Gabasova to talk about what .NET developers need to know to get conversant in R. Data science represents a huge opportunity for developers these days, helping businesses actually take advantage of the data the company has. Jamie comes at R from a traditional .NET developer perspective, talking about how there are some skills (like source control and testing) that developers have more experience with than most data science folks. Evelina talks about the academic side of using R, learning statistical modeling and how to talk to data science experts when you're a developer. There's a great community out there to help you learn more and focus on the right things - join in!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

Time to get scared times three! While at NDC Oslo, Carl and Richard hosted a security panel of Troy Hunt, Niall Merrigan and Stephen Haunts in front of a live NDC audience. The conversation starts where most security conversation start - on passwords. Yes, passwords suck. The challenge is making them suck less. Beyond passwords, what aspects of application security are the responsibility of the developer, and what are more the focus of operations? Check out the links below for a number of tools you can add to your build process to evaluate the security of your web applications every time you check in code!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

The Hololens SDK edition is out - are you ready to write some code? Carl and Richard talk to Rene Schulte at NDC Oslo about his work building apps for the Hololens. The conversation explores the differences in virtual reality and augmented reality and the huge number of possibilities out there for Hololens. Rene talks about what it's like to develop for Hololens, discussing the relative merits between writing code in Unity3D and the Universal Windows Platform (XAML!) - it's all C# in the end! There's as much to discuss about the capabilities of Hololens as there is to talk about the potential solutions it can generate. There's a lot to think about!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

How does testing contribute to the failure of a project? Todd Gardner chats with Carl and Richard at NDC Oslo about his experiences with failing projects and testing. More than just the usual case that a lack of testing led to unreliable software, Todd also talks about how testing the market is important too - what if you build software nobody wants? The focus has to be on relevant tests, because every test represents an overhead of computing and maintenance. This ultimately comes back to understanding the value proposition of your software: What does your software do that is valuable, and how do you assure that value with testing?Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

What's next for C#? While at NDC Oslo, Carl and Richard talked with Mads Torgersen about what's coming up in C# 7. But first some fun, talking about how languages evolve and the challenge of bringing new features to life while avoiding breaking what has come before. It's not easy building languages, especially popular ones! Mads talks about the process of deciding what is in and what will be pushed out for the next version of C#. Along the way, the discussion turns to grabbing onto great ideas from other languages (like pattern matching from F#) while still remaining true to the C# way of doing things. If you want an F# feature, use F#, but that doesn't preclude running with good ideas. A fun discussion with the guy who drives C# forward!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations

Some people love their job, and Irina is clearly one of them. Coming into computing via a somewhat unconventional route, Irina spent a long time with Java before discovering Erlang, which as you can tell from our discussion is something of a passion of hers! We talk about What caused her to switch from Java to Erlang, whether or not Elixir could be the killer app for Erlang, and why you should always let kids play with robots. Regarding Elixir, we talk towards the end of the interview about good books to read on the subject. Irina mentioned afterwards that she would recommend starting with "Programming Elixir" by Dave Thomas, and perhaps following that up with "Metaprogramming Elixir" by Chris McCord. You can follow Irina on Twitter at https://twitter.com/irina_guberman. She was also speaking at City Code Chicago recently - the video should be available soon - check http://chicago.citycode.io/irina-guberman.html for details. If you can't wait for that, her talk from NDC Oslo "Maximizing throughput on Multicore Systems" is already available online at https://vimeo.com/131642358.
In the 3rd of my 4 interviews at NDC Oslo, I talk to ThoughtWorks colleague and co-Technical Radar author Neal Ford. Neal talks about his journey into computing, the uneven distribution of holographic politicians, indoor plumbing, and functional thinking. Perhaps not in that order. You can find out more about Neal Ford over at http://nealford.com/, or follow him on twitter @neal4d
In this week's episode, I speak to Venkat Subramaniam. Venkat seems to have the stamina of 5 normal people - whenever I start to feel sorry for myself about my own hectic schedule, I look at what Venkat is up to and realise that I have no cause to complain. Aside from being a serial author, and conference speaker, Venkat also finds time to do consulting and training too, all while continuing to be incredibly passionate about his work. In this interview we talk about many things, but in particular functional programming and how you might be able to try it out in environments that are otherwise a bit more traditional. We caught up in what I thought would be a nice quiet location at NDC Oslo, only to find that I had placed us next to a coffee machine. I'll get this right one day. If you want to know more about his work or what he is up to, you can head over to his website at agiledeveloper.com/
