👉 What is Blazor? And why’s it so exciting?
What started as a prototype in 2017 has become one of the hottest technologies in the .NET ecosystem. Blazor is Microsoft’s new front-end framework for building single page applications using C#, not JavaScript. That’s right, C# running in your browser. No plugins, transpilation or voodoo magic involved - just web standards.
In this talk, you'll learn all about this game changing platform and how it brings choice back into front-end development.
Starting from the beginning, you'll explore Blazor's flexible architecture and it's different rendering modes. You'll learn how C# code is able to run in the browser via a technology called WebAssembly. You'll also cover Blazor's component model, syntax, project types and more.
By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of what Blazor is and how it could be the last framework you'll ever need!

👉 DevSecOps: Securing applications with DevOps
DevOps is all about delivering new features as fast as possible. But what if this means that you're also shipping security issues faster than ever? Security practices must speed up to keep pace with DevOps. This session shows you how you can increase your deployment frequency while still making sure that you ship secure applications. You'll learn best practices and principles for securing your application in a cloud world. You’ll also learn about tooling such as Whitesource and Azure Security Center. In the end, you’ll have a good idea of how to integrate security checks into DevOps and deliver more secure applications.

👉 Air Quality, Azure Functions, and Spider Eggs
Good quality air is important. After all, everyone breathes. But dig a little deeper into the subject and most of what you find is what we don't know. Is air pollution produced by local traffic? Does it waft in on the breeze? Are there times when I really shouldn't go out for a run?
In this talk I'll describe how you can build your own connected air quality sensor and get data from it. I'll touch on embedded devices the MQTT protocol, LoRa networking, Azure IoT Hub and Azure Functions, along with our Connected Humber effort to spread sensors over Humberside. And I'll even mention spider eggs and show off my "Air Quality Top Hat".
👨💻Rob Miles
Rob Miles has spent over 30 years teaching programming to a succession of students at the University of Hull in the UK. He’s a Microsoft MVP with a passion for programming, C# and creating new things. He's written a few books over the years, and coloured in a lot more.
If he had any spare time he’d spend it writing even more code. He loves making programs and then running them to see what happens. He reckons that programming is the most creative thing you can learn how to do.
Having worked with many languages and platforms over the years he now likes nothing more than writing C# using Visual Studio, preferably for a small device of some kind. If there are motors and lights involved, so much the better.
He claims to know a lot of really good jokes, but nobody has ever heard him tell one.
👉 Devs Just Wanna Have Fun with David Bowen
David is a lead Service Reliability Engineer (SRE) at IBM and He'd like to share what they've learned about keeping life fun and interesting whilst also keeping things running. He'll chat about things like testing, Kubernetes and protecting your weekends on the beach.

👉 What is Blazor? And why’s it so exciting?
What started as a prototype in 2017 has become one of the hottest technologies in the .NET ecosystem. Blazor is Microsoft’s new front-end framework for building single page applications using C#, not JavaScript. That’s right, C# running in your browser. No plugins, transpilation or voodoo magic involved - just web standards.
In this talk, you'll learn all about this game changing platform and how it brings choice back into front-end development.
Starting from the beginning, you'll explore Blazor's flexible architecture and it's different rendering modes. You'll learn how C# code is able to run in the browser via a technology called WebAssembly. You'll also cover Blazor's component model, syntax, project types and more.
By the end, you'll have a solid understanding of what Blazor is and how it could be the last framework you'll ever need!

This months Agile Sheffield meetup is a talk given by Mike Burrows:
Right to Left
What does an Agile delivery process look like? If you had to describe one, where would you start – “from the left”, with a backlog of work to plough through, or “from the right”, with needs met by working software? And does the difference in perspective matter?
The difference does indeed matter (a lot!); we'll see that learning to
describe and introduce Agile and its frameworks “from the right” brings
considerable benefits. And it's not hard – we can all do it!
About Mike
Agendashift founder Mike Burrows works at the intersection of Lean-Agile, strategy, and organisation development in the pursuit of the ‘wholehearted’ organisation. He is the author of Right to Left: the digital leader’s guide to Lean and Agile (2019), Agendashift: Outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation (2018), and the classic Kanban from the Inside (2014). He is recognised for his pioneering work in Lean, Agile, and Kanban and his advocacy for participatory and outcome-oriented approaches to change, transformation, and strategy. Prior to his consulting career, Mike was global development manager and Executive Director at a top tier investment bank, and CTO for an energy risk management startup. More recently, he served as interim delivery manager for two UK government digital ‘exemplar’ services. He is based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
PLEASE NOTE that this meetup will be entirely online via Zoom, as a precaution for COVID-19. Details to join the call will be shared about an hour before the meetup begins.
Come join us for a few hours of chatting, hacking, and experimenting with Go. Unlike our monthly meetups, this will be completely unstructured - all you need is a laptop.
The group will include developers of all levels of experience with Go, so it will also be a good place to share tips and ask questions.
Please note that all attendees and sponsors are required to follow the Go code of conduct (https://golang.org/conduct).
The health and safety of our community is our top priority. Given the growing concerns around COVID-19, and after careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult but important decision to postpone this face-to-face meet up event until we have further information from official authorities.
But what next from us? #BAF DIGITAL
In the build-up to the official event – we will host webinar sessions along with our guest speakers including a Q&A at the end, exciting!
The first webinar will take place Thursday 19th March 3-4pm with Bernie Smith speaking on ‘A better way to choose KPIs’, along with some of the DeeperThanBlue team.

First up we will be hearing from Nina Swanwick for an insight into how she built something remarkable - achieving a gender balanced team followed by Rachel Ferla reporting back on the results of her study on the benefits of inclusivity in the workplace.
We are Women In Tech so let's demonstrate our remarkable and resilient sides by taking our meetup online for the first time! Let's rise to the challenge of keeping everyone safe from Covid-19 but not let it put us off our stride!
We have had to adapt tonight's agenda a bit so we will be saving the #IamRemarkable workshop for another time as it's more of an 'in person' experience!
Agenda
5:30 pm - Test your setup and say hi then grab yourself a cuppa and some snacks ready for the talks to start
6:00 pm - Achieving a Remarkably Balanced Team by Nina Swanwick. See below for Nina's bio.
6:30 pm - Benefits of Inclusivity by Rachel Ferla
7:50 pm - Announcements - Over to you! We will be using Zoom chat to collect and share any women in tech news, events to advertise or questions
This week's meetup will be a small informal event for discussing everyone's thoughts on Bitcoin over these past few weeks. Due to current events, this will be a small meetup with a limited number of spaces.
This is foremost a technical meetup, so if we have time after the discussion I will also do a quick presentation on how mining works (which was the original plan). But ultimately we'll see how the meetup unfolds.
So if you're interested in Bitcoin and want to talk about it in the evening, Bitcoin Sheffield is still on for Wednesday.
Note: Our host may make changes to their opening hours, but for now everything is normal.
Note: Use your own judgement on attending given the current pandemic.

Building a new government service: devops in a small multidisciplinary team
Hive IT has been working with the Department for Education on delivering a new service for the dissemination of statistics through discovery, alpha and into a soon to launch public beta.
In this talk we’ll look at the challenges, successes and lessons learnt from developing a new service with a small team, and how adopting some of the devops principles has enabled fast iterations in response to user research and feedback.
Working for somebody else means you don’t always have full autonomy over your toolsets, we’ll look at how technology choices have been influenced, informed and changed over the course of development. Expect a lot of Azure from databases to devops, why you don't need to have Kubernetes and how to compromise between the perfect solution and the one that’s good enough to get the job done.
