9.30 - 10.30: The DevOps Challenge and Reward.

This session will look at why and how both the industry and Microsoft, including the Visual Studio product group, are moving to adopt DevOps. In doing so we will look at the typical stages in DevOps adoption and look at lessons learnt and how this impacts the business. Whilst we will refer to technology lessons we will focus on business goals achievable from DevOps and those organisations that have succeeded.

Includes Azure Dev/Test Lab Demo

10.30 - 11.00: Mobile DevOps

The demand for mobile solutions is higher than ever and it is becoming harder to ignore.  This session will discuss the options for building mobile apps and give an overview of using Xamarin for cross-platform native development.  It will also look at Microsoft’s end-to-end Mobile DevOps solution and the upcoming Visual Studio Mobile Center.

Microsoft has an array of experience to assist clients to achieve their business goals in application lifecycle management and DevOps. We also provide our enterprise clients with tools, training, consulting and support to achieve this and with prioritisation relevant to the client’s own business needs. These support services are provided without cost and this session will provide a run-through of the available resources and how to use them effectively. 

MSDN subscriptions have been renamed and the administration portal is moving. This session will ensure you are aware of all the benefits your subscribers have access to and the tools available to manage them for optimisation.
