👩‍🏫 Container-based development for C# developers

Containerization has taken the world of software development and application operation by storm in recent years. And the basics of "somehow" doing containerization are also easy and quick to learn and implement. But what are the pitfalls, how do you really get your own container images ready for production and can I actually develop directly in containers? This session answers all these questions using practical examples with a focus on C# / .NET

Azure Static Web Apps. An easy way to get a hobby site into the world for very little cost.

But that's not all they can do! With a few changes to the out of the box experience, and using the standard, paid, tier we can use these Azure Resources in our enterprise architecture!

We will touch upon infrastructure as code, to make reliable deployments to a known environment.

We'll look into how to change the default pipeline to allow unit tests etc for the code, and deploying the same build applications into multiple environments.

Finally, we'll take a look at Custom Authentication - using Auth0 to authenticate and a custom Azure Function to provide the roles for our users.

"A Selection Box of AI Tools" -Alan Gardner (Aberdeen Python User Group)

It's that time of year when we eagerly anticipate selection boxes appearing on supermarket shelves and under Christmas trees across the land. But what if, instead of delicious chocolates, those thin plastic trays were filled with productivity-enhancing AI tools? Well, that would be disappointing, of course. Who in their right mind prefers software tools over chocolate? However, I'm told we're not here to eat chocolate; we should really be doing stuff with Python, and so...

In this talk, we'll explore a selection of AI tools that have significantly impacted my work. We'll examine various chatbots, LLMs, integrations with existing apps, and fully AI-based applications. We'll discuss how these tools harness AI to boost productivity, creativity, and problem-solving.

I'll share personal experiences, demonstrate how I work with these tools, and consider how these AI assistants are shaping our work. Together, we'll sort the Double Deckers from the Fudges... metaphorically speaking, of course.

Bio

Alan is a developer who was drawn to Python from Ruby, Elixir and JavaScript back in 2020 (better late than never!). It's now his goto language for everything from scripting to web apps to its excellent data and AI capabilities. These days, he's exploring the AI world, using Python to get LLMs to do his work for him (and also write most of his Python too).

When he's not trying to cobble together LangChain chains or FastAPI APIs, you can find him playing TTRPGs or kayaking. He's been using LLMs for the former but is still waiting for support for the latter.

After the talk we will have one or more challenges for you to attempt - so bring your laptop!

If you don’t already have Python set up, we can help you with that too. Coding in pairs or small groups (especially mixing beginner and more experiences coders) is strongly encouraged, though you can also code solo.

Aberdeen Data Meetup: Standards - who needs them? Julian Tait, Open Data Manchester

"Standards – who needs them?*" - Julian Tait, Open Data Manchester

*We all do

This talk is about Open Data Manchester’s journey into the open standards for data world, and how once you delve into this nichest of worlds things are never the same again.

It will give an overview of open standards, how we first got involved in them and how we used user research and system analysis to understand the key components needed for the standards we have created and ones in development, that are tackling supply chain data exchange to promote a more resilient and circular economy.

BIO Julian, who began his career as a music photographer, is the co-founder and CEO of Open Data Manchester CIC, a not-for-profit organisation established in 2010. The organisation aims to help communities and organisations better understand and utilise data.

He oversees the development of several open standards for data including: · The Open3P data standard for the packaging value chain, which facilitates the exchange of packaging data between organisations, promoting process and resource efficiencies to reduce packaging's environmental impact and reducing costs. · The Open Product data standard for batteries and electrical and electronic equipment. · The Open Standard for Fashion and Textiles Data, which is currently in development.

He leads the development of equitable data stewardship organisations through the Data Cooperative Working Group.

"Developing a Landscape Scale Natural Capital Tool for Scotland" - Donya Davidson

Abstract: NatureScot, in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University, are developing a new tool to facilitate decision makers to take a natural capital approach for managing land at the landscape scale in Scotland. By mapping and modelling how certain land use changes might impact the ecosystem services they provide, decision makers can identify scenarios that maximize benefits for both people and nature. It will be the first tool of its kind in Scotland and will be a geospatial web application, building on scientific knowledge and the existing EcoServR tool for mapping natural capital assets and ecosystem services.

Speaker Bio: Donya is the Natural Capital Manager for NatureScot, where she leads a team of GIS Analysts and Data Scientists developing an innovative new natural capital tool for Scotland. Donya is an Ecologist who specialises in natural capital valuation, ecosystem service modelling and co-design methodology. She is passionate about nature conservation and the effective communication of science, so that it is accessible to everyone. Prior to her time at NatureScot, she worked for the Scottish Wildlife Trust where she led on the development of the Edinburgh Nature Network, a strategic tool to prioritise interventions to tackle the threats of climate change and biodiversity loss in the city. Outside of her work, Donya is on the External Advisory Board for Lauriston Farm Agroecology Co-operative, where she advises on biodiversity enhancement measures and helps monitor the wildlife on the farm using trail cameras.

"Environmental monitoring with a Raspberry Pi" - Luke Buskie

For May we have combined our Data Meetup and Python User Group sessions into a single evening.

"Growing up in the North East of Scotland I have always been interested in our unique weather system. In 2019 with an effort to learn more about computing I bought a RaspberryPi. Naturally the project that captured my attention was titled "build your own weather station" and the story begins.

"I will talk to the evolution of the project over the last few years, from construction (learning to solder) access to 3D printing (Thanks Aberdeen Library) and various customisations including an air quality sensor, deploying a website, adding a camera and use of a machine learning algorithm on my dataset to generate my own temperature forecast. The learning curve has been steep, with numerous mis-steps and "if i were to do it again" anecdotes.

Bio: Luke has worked as a reservoir engineer for sixteen years primarily focused on oil and gas production forecasting and field development decisions. Following the rapidly changing computer science industry from the outside his curiosity has lead him to learn more."

👨‍🏫 How to use EF with MongoDB from a .NET Application
Are you For a long time, Entity Framework (an object RELATIONAL mapper) and MongoDB were an odd couple. After all, ORMs were made for tables, right? But now there is full support for using EF with MongoDB, letting you interact with data using the familiar context paradigm.
In this meetup session, we’ll explore using Entity Framework (EF) with MongoDB. As C# developers, we’ll dive into the intricacies of mapping .NET objects to MongoDB documents and leveraging EF for data manipulation. Whether you’re working with MongoDB or EF, join us to discover best practices, pitfalls, and real-world scenarios for building robust .NET applications backed by MongoDB.

👩‍🏫 From IL Weaving to Source Generators, the Realm story

Intermediate Language (IL) Weaving is a powerful technique that allows to greatly simplify the experience of developers using the .NET Realm SDK by hiding a fair amount of complexity from end-users.

Working with a weaver, though, is tedious, error prone and the resulting code is a black box. These are some of the reasons that convinced us to migrate to Source Generators, a feature introduced in .NET 5 that allows to produce code on the fly during compilation.

This talk will go through the reasons why IL Weaving was used in the first place, our long journey switching to Source Generators and why they do not yet satisfy all our needs.
