Cloud Native .NET

Developer, Architect, Trainer, Consultant; Michael runs @mavnn ltd along with his wife, providing training and consultancy. If it relates to learning about or using anything that relates to .net, functional programming or build/infrastructure tooling we can probably help you.He blogs atblog.mavnn.co.uk, including tutorials, thoughts on software design, and write ups of many of the training sessions.He has not, unfortunately written any of the Mack Bolen the Executioner books, nor is he (fortunately) an expert in past life therapy. On the other hand, he is known to have a few interests outside of coding, including introducing his young son to the fine art of table top role playing and driving the sound desk at the local church.

<H3>Or "Writing Maintainable Systems in .NET"</H3>
<P CLASS="outline-2">.NET was first created in a world of monolithic enterprise deployments installed on physical servers, and desktop applications distributed via CD.</P>
<P>Now the world has moved on, and so have our expectations. The new normal has become:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Rapid, continuous updates of services</LI>
<LI>Zero down time deployments</LI>
<LI>Horizontally scalable web applications with 24 hour access</LI>
</UL>
<P>The term "Cloud Native" has been used to describe code that is designed to live in this brave new world of automated deployments and cheap virtual infrastructure. We'll examine some of the principles and techniques underpinning the design of automatically deployable, trivially scalable, reliable, and easily maintainable software systems built with .NET.</P>
<P>All with the logging, monitoring, and metrics you need to know what's really happening in production.</P>
<P>We'll use Kubernetes to define a multi-service system, digging into how and why the overall system has been designed the way it has. Finally, we'll put it all together, creating new functionality by adding .NET Core services to our system.</P>
<H2 CLASS="outline-2"><BR></H2>
<H2 CLASS="outline-2">What you know already:</H2>
<UL>
<LI>How to read and write C# or F#<BR></LI>
<LI>Basic command line skills</LI>
</UL>
<DIV CLASS="outline-2">
<H2><BR></H2>
<H2>We'll cover:</H2>
<UL CLASS="org-ul">
<LI>An introduction to Kubernetes/Docker</LI>
<LI>Applying SOLID principles to system design</LI>
<LI>What is a cloud native application anyway?</LI>
<LI>12 Factor Applications
<UL CLASS="org-ul">
<LI>What are the 12 factors?</LI>
<LI>How do they help us write better software?</LI>
</UL>
</LI>
<LI>Writing .NET 12 Factor Applications</LI>
<LI>How to instrument distributed services</LI>
<LI>Running distributed systems in development</LI>
<LI>Continuous Integration & Deployment</LI>
<LI>Continuous Improvement
<UL CLASS="org-ul">
<LI>Property based testing</LI>
<LI>Performance measurement</LI>

<H2><BR></H2>
<H2>Before you come:</H2>
<P>You'll need a laptop with:</P>
<UL CLASS="org-ul">
<LI>.NET Core SDK 2.x</LI>
<LI>A C# editor</LI>
<LI><A HREF="https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">minikube</A></LI>

<LI><A HREF="https://git-scm.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">git</A></LI>
</UL>
<P>Before arriving, it would be really helpful to run the command "minikube start --memory 4096 --cpus 3"; on first run minikube downloads its own dependencies.</P>
<H2><BR></H2>
<H2>You'll come away with:</H2>
<P CLASS="outline-2">A git repository of your completed work, which will include:</P>
<UL CLASS="org-ul">
<LI>Nicely instrumented, benchmarked and unit tested .NET services</LI>
<LI>A declarative deployment for the overall distributed system</LI>
<LI>Real time centralized logging, metrics and health feedback from the system, whether running on the dev machine or in production</LI>
<LI>Working zero down time continuous deployment</LI>
</UL>

<H2>What other people say about our courses:<BR></H2>
<P><EM>"I felt there was a gap between my good understanding of the language and actually applying it on bigger “real” projects.</EM><BR></P>
<P><EM>Michael’s great training skills have enabled me to quickly practice some advanced topics I was less familiar with.</EM><BR><BR><EM>With my newly acquired knowledge, I’m confident I will be able achieve </EM><EM>some great (and fun) development."</EM> - Hassan Ezzahir, Lead developer (Contractor) at BNP Paribas</P>

<P><EM>"Thanks to <A CLASS="link-complex" HREF="https://twitter.com/mavnn/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@<SPAN CLASS="link-complex-target">mavnn</SPAN></A> for an excellent “Building Solid Systems in F#” workshop in London last week. Really enjoyed the course material and meeting everybody (Also I’ve been inspired to teach myself Emacs :)"</EM> - Kevin Knoop, AutoTask</P>
<H2>FAQ:</H2>
<H3>Why is the course not in London?</H3>
<P>Well - I like Brighton. Also, I can offer you tickets here much more cheaply.</P>
<H3>How do I get to the venue?</H3>
<P>The Skiff is right next to Brighton train station, with good links to Gatwick Airport and London. If you'd like to stay over night nearby, there's several hotels at the station.</P>
<H3>Can you issue an invoice for tickets?</H3>
<P>Yes; if you cannot pay by card for any reason, contact us@mavnn.co.uk and we'll sort out an invoice for you.</P>
