Kendall Roden: Azure Container Apps - Episode 203

Kendall is a Senior Product Manager for Azure Container Apps based out of Austin, TX. When she's not working, Kendall enjoys being outdoors, teaching spin classes, and hanging out with her cat, Koda.

Topics of Discussion:

[3:46] Kendall talks about starting in consulting and building her skill set in customer empathy and understanding the pain points that developers are experiencing.

[4:13] Even if it makes you uncomfortable, lean in as much as you can to opportunities for technical training.

[7:16] What interested Kendall in working on things that are more in running applications vs. doing frameworks for building applications?

[8:09] Even if you're in operations at an organization, your overall objective is to help developers be more productive and focus on what's making the company money and help them operate on what their core value proposition is for their customers.

[11:35] Kendall discusses Azure Container Apps and starts with App Service.

[21:02] Is Kendall working on Windows adapting containers?

[24:02] Do you have more control in container apps than you do in App Service, or does that limitation still stay the same?

[30:45] Kendall forecasts the future of container ops adoption and that we will see more and more cohesiveness in terms of the Azure portfolio.

[31:40] What does the pricing model look like?

[41:54] Kendall would recommend at least starting with the Azure Architecture Center.

Previously he developed .NET software as a contractor/consultant for clients in Bristol and beyond, plus wrote some books for Apress, such as Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework. From time to time, he speaks at user groups and conferences and recently has been running a bunch of training courses on topics such as C#, SQL Server, and of course ASP.NET MVC.

Greg Young: CQRS and EventSourcing- Episode 201

Greg Young is an independent consultant and serial entrepreneur. He has 10-plus years of varied experience in computer science from embedded operating systems to business systems and he brings a pragmatic and often unusual viewpoint to discussions. Greg coined the term "CQRS" (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) and it was instantly picked up by the community who have elaborated upon it ever since. He's a frequent contributor to InfoQ, a speaker/trainer at Skills Matter, and also a well-known speaker at international conferences.

Topics of Discussion:

[3:24] Greg talks about being poached from university and his path to computer science, starting in the lottery and horse racing systems.

[7:25] Greg defines CQRS at the base level.

[9:24] What is event sourcing?

[11:25] How does it look in database technology?

[19:19] How does asynchronous processing work with event sourcing?

[22:44] Greg talks about causation ID and correlation ID.

[26:49] If someone is running on Azure, what technology would be associated with the stream of event sourcing?

[27:27] When you're event sourcing, your events are your concept of truth.

[28:15] What's the relationship between event sourcing and CQRS?

[31:16] How has Greg's method of explaining these concepts changed over time?

[31:36] When you teach something, you both get a better understanding of the thing that you're teaching, and you get a better understanding of how to teach it to somebody.

Tomas Petricek: Cultures of Programming - Episode 200

Tomas Petricek is a lecturer at the University of Kent and a partner at fsharpWorks. He believes that the most fundamental work is not the one solving hard problems, but the one that offers new ways of thinking. He follows this belief in his academic research on programming systems and the history and philosophy of computing, but also in his writing on functional programming and in his F# training and consulting.

Before joining Kent, Tomas did a Ph.D. on context-aware computations at the University of Cambridge, worked on F# tools in Microsoft Research, and built novel tools for data exploration at The Alan Turing Institute.

Topics of Discussion:

[4:19] The Turing Institute, and a little bit more about Alan Turing.

[6:01] How can we distill 70 years into something understandable in a reasonable period?

[8:52] What were the early cultures of programming?

[14:00] Fortran programming and how ALGOL was designed by a sort of more academic crowd as a universal programming language.

[15:00] We hear some well wishes from listeners and past guests for the 200th episode! Thank you!

[21:27] Tomas discusses hacker culture and how the term programmer has changed over the years.

[26:06] Tomas's prediction on where the culture of programming is going next.

[27:03] The amazing ad for a programming system called Flow-Matic.

[29:22] Why we need escape hatches is because there is a fundamental flaw with no-code and low-code approaches.
