Reactor Event and Content Planning Repository

Welcome! This repository will be tracking the planning for digital and in-person Reactor events.

Event Planning

Reactors hold events both in-person and digitally. As of Summer 2020, all events are currently being help digitally. This is a combination of Global Live Twitch Streams and Local Live Teams Events. To better partner with the rest of the Azure Developer and Cloud Advocacy teams, we are aligning our topics to the Azure Developer Marketing Calendar.

In this README, you can find the following regarding events:

General Event Schedule

We have published an overall schedule of events.

I want to speak at a Reactor event

Great! We often have openings for speakers! We do require 8-weeks advance notice of all new events to be able to market them properly. We manage our schedule via GitHub issues, so you can see our list of sessions where we are actively seeking help.

Our calendar is rarely set in stone, so we are always open to suggestions. If you have a topic which you think we should cover or see a session you'd like to deliver, please feel free to either comment on an issue or file one of your own!

Reactor Content Development

Part of the mission of the Reactors is to create lasting content for developers to be able to refer back and continue their learning journeys. The customer facing content will reside on a number of Microsoft platforms, depending on the goal of that piece of content. This repository will track the development of new content regardless of its target platform destination.

Microsoft Learn Modules

Microsoft Learn is a learning platform that consists mainly of tutorial-like content. This is an ideal platform for Reactor content that is:

  • Reference material for further learning before, during, or after an event
  • Material that is covered in Reactor events that builds upon content that already exists in the Microsoft Learn ecosystem

The goals of publishing content to Microsoft Learn are to:

  • Provide students an entry point to additional Reactor content on Microsoft Learn through embedded references in modules
  • Provide students an entry point to Microsoft Learn through Reactor events and marketing
  • Ensure Reactor content fits within the larger Microsoft learning framework
  • Provide students with a clearer pathway through Microsoft learning content

Reactor Learn Modules

Module or Learning Path Title Duration Reactor TPM and Author Date Published Technologies Referenced Live Learn Link

Getting started with creating content on Microsoft Learn

This process, from the Reactor point of view, is still being defined. While reference material that will generally support Reactor events is of interested, we are also dedicated to creating content and experiences on the Microsoft Learn platform that is more interactive and could be used during instructor-led events. The best option at the moment is to create a new Learn Module Tracking Issue and follow the steps there!

Title Demystifying Chatbots
Description The term “bot” has become an overloaded word; as a result, many developers are fearful chatbots are too complex to create. As it turns out, chatbots are just apps with a different interface. While there are skills and techniques which need to be learned, advanced degrees in artificial intelligence are not required. In this session, we’ll demystify bot creation and show how you can leverage existing skills to create a chat bot.

Description In this stream, we will create an agricultural-based (or agrotech) solution with the help of IoT and Azure tools. Starting with an internet-connected device with environment sensors, we will connect to a set of services that will store telemetry data and predict the weather using Azure Maps. Then, we’ll combine these weather predictions with soil moisture data to send a signal to the device indicating whether the plants need watering.
This session will use a no-code IoT platform called Azure IoT Central, and an IoT software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform.
This session requires basic coding and Python knowledge.

Title Drinking from the IoT Data Firehose
Description IoT generates data—A LOT of data. To add to the complexity, this data can be streamed from a variety of devices and run the scope from a home with a single sensor to a factory with millions of them. So…where does all this data go once it is sent? In this session, we'll take that next step to look at how you can take the glut of IoT data and make it useful. We’ll query the data it in real time, analyzing it with code and storing it in a database, such as a CosmosDB, for future offline analysis.

Title Kubernetes for DevOps: It Doesn’t Need to Be Greek to You
Description

Developers today often build applications using containers—packages of microservices that include dependencies and configurations. As applications become more complex, multiple containers are often needed per deployment. To manage this complexity, Kubernetes (the Greek word for helmsmen of a ship or pilot) provides APIs that control how and when those containers run. Kubernetes—also called “K8s” or “K-eights”—is open source, scalable, and can port containers from local machines to the cloud.

In this session, you will learn how to create continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines for Kubernetes. The demo includes how to create pipelines and push docker containers into a registry before deploying to a Kubernetes cluster. You will also learn how to use Terraform, another open source tool, in release pipelines to provision the infrastructure in the cloud.

This session recommends a basic knowledge of DevOps. This session will use the following tools: Azure DevOps Services, Azure Kubernetes Service, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Visual Studio Code.

Title Be Better Served by Serverless Computing
Description Setting up traditional web servers can be tricky, even those based in the cloud. How do you manage scaling? How many VMs are too many? What size should they be? And how do you manage those little operations which are executed in bursts and then not for days? Serverless computing can ease your burden. You can focus on your code while letting serverless Azure Functions handle the scaling for you. In this session, we'll create and deploy some functions with Python and develop applications with less overhead.

We'll chat about the rationale behind TypeScript, the problems it looks to solve, and how it can make you a more efficient developer. We'll also discuss how to migrate a JavaScript project without throwing out your entire codebase and starting over. This session recommends an intermediate knowledge of JavaScript and 1-2 years of coding experience. No previous experience with TypeScript is required.

Title The Bot Experience
Description Chatbots provide users with a new messaging interface for an application. But, with anything new comes new challenges. The modalities users have come to expect in applications—such as the “hamburger” in a mobile app—don't exist in a bot. Fortunately, there are ways we can ensure users are able to navigate this new experience in an intuitive and natural way. In this session, we’ll walk through the process of creating a bot, demo how to best communicate with users, and understand what users are trying to tell your bot.

Title “Go” Further with the Go Programming Language
Description Go quickly became a hot language for low-level systems development, databases, and distributed systems, but the language has expanded well beyond systems development. Have you heard of Docker, Kubernetes, and CockroachDB? They’re all written in Go. You can even build full web apps with Go. In this session, we’ll briefly learn the history of Go and then dive into the language and its libraries for writing web services. Finally, we’ll build a REST API using Go, deploy it to the web, and test it.
We recommend you have a basic understanding of HTTP/REST and some experience programming in C, C++, Java, C#, or other C-like languages. If you plan to follow along, you’ll need an editor (such as VS Code) and Go installed on your machine (https://golang.org/dl).
