You've ignored Containers long enough now, Microsoft is bringing them to you in Windows Server 2016. Yes, that's right, you'll be able to run Containers in Windows using Docker. In this session we'll look at what a Container is, how to get started and how to deploy an ASP.NET application into one. We'll be focusing on what this means for your workflow as a developer using the latest offerings from Docker & Windows Server.
November's talk is by Naeem Sarfraz who blogs over at http://naeemsarfraz.net/ about Enterprise Architecture, ALM, DevOps & happy times coding in .Net.

“The application cache is a douchebag" - Jake Archibald.
Web apps can be pretty cool, but we could be making them even cooler. Browsers are leveling up by adding functionality to enable a user experience akin to using a native mobile application.
Enter the new buzz-phrase of the moment… Progressive Web Apps!
We’ll explore how we can take our web apps offline but most importantly why you should care about this! Features such as service workers, background sync, push notifications, save to homepage and splash screens are pushing forward the frontier of UX in the web.
This talk is about sharing the knowledge gained from FullStack 2016 conference and the lessons learned from implementing the features into real web applications. The goal is to provide more than just a high level overview. You should be able to walk away confident that you can implement these features into your own web apps straight away.
Dan Shea is a Senior Software Developer at UNiDAYS. Professionally he concentrates on web apps and web services leveraging .Net technologies. In his own time he likes to gain hipster dev cred by hacking away with node and angular using an ancient linux laptop. When the moment strikes he likes to build crappy robots and make even crappier games.
Martin Kearn Double - Machine Learning for Muggles + Web Tuning & Performance
Description changed:
This month Martin Kearn will be covering two topics Machine Learning for Muggles and Web Tuning & Performance.
Martin is a technical evangelist for Microsoft based in the UK. In his role, Martin talks with customers, partners, start-ups and anyone who is willing to listen about developing applications on the Microsoft platform. This includes Windows, Office, Microsoft Azure and Web technologies including ASP.net and the Edge browser. Martin has been working with Microsoft development technologies since the late 90's and has been working for Microsoft directly since 2005.
We're hosting the event at UNiDAYS HQ on Castle Boulevard. The venue will be open from 6:30pm and we'll aim for Martin's talk to start at 7pm.
Machine Learning for Muggles
Artificial Intelligence is the latest hotness. We’ve heard how bots are going to be the new apps allowing natural conversational interfaces. Siri, Cortana and Google Now are no longer a gimmick and are becoming more useful every day. Machine Learning sits behind artificial intelligence and on the surface it may seem like a deeply technical, scientific topic. We are here to tell you that it is more accessible than you think. We’ll look at some of the basics around machine learning. We’ll also look some of the API services that make it very easy to implement artificial intelligence ‘smarts’ into your application with simple, standard REST calls
Web Tuning & Performance
Performance matters … it really matters. A poor performing website will suffer low conversions, penalised search ranking and shocking bounce rates. Thankfully, it is easy to fix with a few simple optimisations which reduce both the volume and the size of requests you are asking the browser to make. In this talk we’ll go through some platform agnostic tips and tricks to help you tune and optimise your website to perform like a thoroughbred.
Join us at Antenna Cafe Bar for some talks on various Perlish topics, from 7pm. We'll probably decamp to the Canalhouse afterwards for a drink and to chew over what we've learned!
