Office 365: The Digital Workplace
Tony Hughes, from the well known I.T. consultancy firm TSG, will be here for our april event to talk about how organisations large and small can
utilise Office 365 as the foundation for a modern Digital Workplace,
after all it much more than Email in the Cloud and the latest versions
of Office.
• Microsoft Teams – It’s so much more than Chat
• Microsoft Planner – Task Management and Planning
• Office Groups – The foundation for collaboration
• Yammer – Is this now all I need for my Intranet, or do I even need one
• PowerApps and Flow – Forms and Workflow for the masses
• Security and Compliance – You're safe in their hands
Tony has an extensive background in the industry, and some of you would
have heard him speak before, so please invite your friends and
colleagues to what will be an enlightening
session.
What to expect from C# 7
Phillip Steele will be here to tell us all about the new features in the latest version of our favourite curly bracket lanuage, where they came from, why they are there and if you really need them.
Phillip is a senior developer at Sage and has many years experience with .Net and C# in particular.

After a brief hiatus we're back in February. And we're also back at Campus North. We've got two talks for you this month.
Building your own Private Cloud on a Shoe String
"During this talk I will offer an alternative to AWS and
Azure, a little known provider that also happens to have the third most hosting
servers in the world (According to Netcraft 2015).
What if I also said this company was also was often much
cheaper than Azure or AWS while offering similar SLA’s? What about an easy to use REST API that
covers pretty much everything they do?
Interested yet? I was. The
company is called OVH.
I will discuss the benefits and limitations of using OVH to
build a cloud infrastructure.
Discussions and Demonstrations will include:
·
Virtual Instances on the OVH Public Cloud
·
Dedicated Servers
·
Setting up Microsoft Hyper-V Core on Dedicated
Hardware
·
Microsoft System Centre Virtual Machine Manager
·
Firewalls and Load Balancers
·
Private Networking and World Wide Data Centres
·
Using Object Storage with Open Stack and C#

Git, Gulp, Grunt, Node and Code: Making Sense of the Modern Development Toolchain
Our second talk is from Dr Bill Ayers...
"JavaScript was once just a scripting tool for "front-end" developers. Now it's gone mainstream. And along with it comes a new set of tools that the cool kids use. In this session I'm going to look at some of the new tooling that is being used by web and open-source developers and increasingly in enterprise development and by engineers at Microsoft building the next generation of SharePoint and Office 365 technologies and the SharePoint Framework. We'll look at the tools, when you would use them, and how they relate to more traditional IDEs like Visual Studio. We'll also look at JavaScript as a language, including its shortcomings, and how it is changing, along with the role of transpilers like TypeScript. If you are planning to build solutions for Office 365 and SharePoint over the next few years, you need to get up to speed on the modern development toolchain."
