Workshop 1: Getting Ahead of Delivery Issues with Deep SDLC Analysis
Capacity: 90
Requirements: None
Many software development teams have multiple systems that support their software development life cycle. Continuous integration, task/backlog management, version control and other systems make up these ecosystems. Most teams and organizations only use the surface of each of these applications. Individually, each one of these applications creates and collects a vast amount of data and meta data that defines the development work that the organization is doing.
How can you dig deeper than provided burn down charts, build failures and code coverage reports to learn more about your development process? How can you take all of the silently collected data from these different systems and use it to make decisions about what is going to happen in the future instead of what has happened in the past? What meaning and guidance can you extract from your development ecosystem that can make you more efficient, deliver higher quality software and perform better for your clients and their businesses?
This seminar will expose you to merging the data and meta data in your development systems. It will introduce you to new metric and measures that will help you to identify potential weaknesses in your software and development process. You will see samples of how to integrate seemingly disparate systems to extract a deeper understanding of how your development process is working and how you can surface this information to members of the team and the business.

Workshop 3: Build an ASP.NET Web App
Capacity: 60
Requirements: Visual Studio 2012 or 2013
If you're looking to learn what you need to know to build a web application in ASP.NET MVC that works across all browsers, then this workshop is for you. Come learn basic and advanced techniques for building an ASP.NET MVC web application, including Web API and SignalR. Includes "ASP.NET Intro", "ASP.NET MVC and SignalR Advanced Topics" and "Mobile Web Apps with MVC and Bootstrap".
ASP.NET MVC Intro
In this session, you'll learn how to build a basic website using ASP.NET MVC. We'll cover the fundamentals of Models, Views, and Controllers, the three main components of MVC development. We'll see how they work together to create robust, data-driven websites.
ASP.NET MVC and SignalR Advanced topics
This session aims to discuss advanced ASP.NET topics such as ASP.NET Web API, SignalR, ViewModels, Routing, and automated UI unit testing with WebDriver and Visual Studio.
Mobile Web Apps with ASP.NET MVC and Bootstrap
If you are creating new apps, or need to update your existing apps, Bootstrap is the way to most easily develop solutions that meet the needs of the ever increasing audience of the mobile market. Bootstrap provides a lightweight, cross platform, and responsive framework for developing mobile web sites and applications. And it's just CSS and JavaScript, so we only need to learn specific selectors and methods. In this session you will learn what you need to get started writing data-driven mobile web applications in Visual Studio with ASP.NET MVC and Bootstrap.

Windows Azure Architecture: I think, therefore I am.
Virtually unlimited resources, almost infinite elasticity, pay only for what I use, low cost of adoption ... these and other advantages of Windows Azure can be very attractive, as long as you consider that many things in this new world are different from those know so far. The cloud computing in general and Windows Azure in particular, have democratized the development of distributed systems, but the mindset of developing non-distributed systems is difficult to eradicate. What do I have to think about when developing for the cloud to maximize the potential of Windows Azure? We will see issues like scalability, fault tolerance, availability and more points that will help you change the way of conceptualizing the development of systems for the cloud. -

Methodologies: Agile or productive? A view from the trenches
In recent years there has been a significant growth in the use of agile methodologies, short and incremental cycles, with a number of practices to minimize time and errors, generating small, stable and continuous outcomes. Scrum, Extreme Programming, Agile Unified Process (RUP Simplified) are among the most popular. Terms such as Scrum Master, tracker, story cards, stand-up meeting, sprint and backlog were imposed in the everyday language of teams. The question is: does this really makes us more productive? Are commitment and better performance achieved for each individual? Are the teams in full knowledge of the methodology and the objectives searched? In this talk we will try to find the key points that improve the relationship between Productivity and Agility, looking for points of contact to revalue the individual and comprehensive training in the software development process. -
Pablo Cibraro
The future of ASP.NET, Katana and ASP.NET vNext
In this session we will discuss the new projects in which Microsoft is working in the short term for what will be the new generation of ASP.NET. We will see an introduction to Katana, a new open source project led by Microsoft to implement the specifications defined in OWIN with the objective of decouple standard functionality of a web server in a web application, as well as the new functionality and runtime that we will have as part of the new ASP.NET vNext. -

RESTful for all
The talk could be summarized as: how to design RESTful APIs without dying in the attempt. We live in a service-oriented interconnected world. The protagonists of this evolution: RESTful APIs. If your application is focused on services and the whole world, you have to know how to address them. I will show you the best practices to design restful APIs, from conception to implementation, testing and documentation. Modeling Entities and collections, errors, standards and more. With this information you will be able to design a RESTful API for your next multimillionaire Startup :)
This talk is independent of programming languages. -

I just met you, and "this" is crazy, but here's my NaN, so call(me), maybe?
This is a session in which we make fun of JavaScript, but learn something by doing so. JavaScript can be a passive-aggressive and fickle language that frustrates you at every turn. It lets you do things like declare variables anywhere, but doesn’t tell you that it will hoist them while you’re not looking. JavaScript’s 'this' keyword is anything but, and eval can turn good code to evil fast. In this session that blends comedy and learning, we will discuss common JavaScript headaches and mistakes and fun ways to avoid them. Learn what can trick you, like the 'this' keyword, JavaScript scoping, evil Eval, and the use of the 'with' statement (wait... what?). All that alongside those gotchas is the fact that not all equality operators are created equal, or how the innocent looking parseInt does farce parses. Sit back and dig into the fun of JavaScript language quirks. -

Windows and .NET on the Internet of Things
100IoTWindows.NETIntel GalileoIn this session we will play with the Intel Galileo, capable of running Windows on a System on a Chip x86 the size of a fingernail, the Netduino boards running .NET code natively and many accessories connecting them with Azure services for the Internet of Things to receive and coordinate all the information that these sensors are able to collect. It is a session to erase the line between electronics and software and for all those who studied electronics ... that they realize they chose the wrong career :) -

Opportunities to Improve System Reliability and Resilience
When you think of application reliability your mind is probably drawn to things like server farms, load balancing and database failovers. These are valid thoughts, but infrastructure concerns are not the only way that you can improve the reliability and resilience of an application. This session will describe code level patterns that can reduce the number of failures that surface to users as well as rarely used coding team development efforts that can reduce the risk of errors on the most critical of business implementations. By the time the session is over you'll have a better grasp of how to reduce the likeliness that code is the reason your next app goes boom! -

Uruguay
A naturally friendly country
Montevideo
The capital of Uruguay, harmoniously combines modernity and tradition. Ancient architectural treasures such as el Cabildo, the Iglesia Matriz and the Puerta de la Ciudadela, styles such as Art Nouveau and Art Deco and cutting-edge modern buildings such as the Torre de las Comunicaciones, give the city a unique identity. The capital’s Rambla (waterfront promenade), providing access to over 30 km of coastline, is one of the main attributes of Montevideo and an unforgettable stroll for its inhabitants who frequently go there to drink ‘mate’ (South American style of tea) and go for long walks, runs and biking. In addition, the vast number of green spaces, parks and gardens also provide numerous outdoor options.
Check the F.A.Q. for tips on how to get around the city.
