The rise of microservices architected applications and the use of containers to run them are two major changes in the way applications are designed and delivered. Along with the advantages of these approaches come challenges that require new thinking to overcome.
Challenges such as:
- How can Kubernetes schedule workloads onto available resources?
- How can a load balancer know which instances are viable?
- How can we farm out and harvest work done by multiple distributed services?
- How are horizontal concerns like logging architected to take advantage of reusability?
During this webinar we’ll look at the primary Kubernetes patterns, discussing why they exist, and what issues they solve.
Are you an application developer, technical lead or deployment specialist?
Do you regularly work with Kubernetes and cloud-native applications?
If so, then this webinar will help you:
- Recognize common microservices and container architectural issues
- Understand the solutions others have found, and which ones have been documented in the form of patterns
Long ago, Angular.js, the predecessor to Angular, was highly popular for building web application UIs. Due to delays of Angular 2, and Facebook’s release of the React component library, the Angular family faded, and React’s popularity grew. Whether it was Angular or React, JavaScript-based UI libraries reigned supreme for many years, until now. There is a new technology seeking to remove JavaScript as the sole UI superpower, and that technology is Blazor.
With Blazor, browser-based UIs can be written with C# code using one of two hosting models. The C# can run client-side as WebAssembly or server-side, with UI updates performed over web sockets. Regardless of the hosting model, the end user experiences modern UI just like the kind of UI React and Angular provide, but written in C#. Join us to learn which technology will suit your organization best, and why you should choose one UI framework over another.
Most Web Applications have become far too large and complex for manual testing to be a viable option. That being the case, if you haven’t already done so, you’re going to have to pick a suitable test framework. When it comes to Angular, there are a few test frameworks that top the list in terms of popularity and compatibility, and Jasmine is definitely one of them. If you’re developing applications with Angular and are evaluating Jasmine as a potential option for testing, or you’re interested in learning how to leverage Jasmine to test and debug Angular Applications, this webinar will be an hour well spent.
Topics that will be discussed:
• Unit Testing in Jasmine
• Jasmine Configuration
• Unit testing in Angular – Components, Pipes and Services
• Unit testing in Angular – DOM Interactions, Routing and Code Coverage
• Integration Testing
• Async testing
Is your organization interested in learning React Native? Join us for this webinar to learn why so many are excited about React Native.
Why you should care
React Native is the leading technology for creating mobile apps. React Native reduces your development time if you’re creating an app for both iOS and Android. How? React Native allows you to write the app one time, and it creates two outputs, one that can be deployed to the Apple AppStore for iPhones/iPads, and the other goes to the Google Play Store for all Android phones and tablets. It’s two apps with one code base.
What you can expect
In 60 minutes, we’ll introduce you to React Native, show you how it works, create a sample app that could be deployed to any device, and answer any questions you might have.

Many React developers like the way you can create components using basic functions instead of more complex classes. The problem is that some React features could only be accessed when using class based components. But now, using Hooks, those features are also available in functional components. In this webinar we’ll review and show how to use the most common hooks including useState, useEffect and useContext.

Go has seen a tremendous growth in popularity. It is used by many large open source projects like Docker, Kubernetes and Terraform. But what is it exactly?
Go is an open source project developed by a team at Google and many contributors from the open source community. It is similar syntactically to C, and is small, statically typed and run-time efficient. The language supports many powerful capabilities such as pointers, memory safety, garbage collection, structural typing, and CSP-style concurrency. Just as important, it has become a popular replacement for untyped scripting languages.
This webinar will offer you the opportunity to see for yourself why Go is the next-generation language for today’s modern computer environment.
Vue.js is a modern front end framework. In this webinar we’ll introduce you to Vue.js, and cover the following topics:
– What is Vue.js?
– How to install and use Vue.js?
– Rendering information using template
– Accepting user input
– Event handling
Jenkins isn’t just for build jobs – Jenkins Pipelines provide a powerful tool for automating a continuous delivery process, and can even support general-purpose automation for a wide range of DevOps activities. This two-hour webinar touches on the highlights of Jenkins Pipelines – what they are, what makes them an essential part of your toolkit, and how they work. Through a series of demonstrations, we’ll see a pipeline develop that builds software, and distributes testing across multiple machines.
This webinar is based on a two-day Web Age course, “Jenkins Pipelines”.
The Jenkins Pipelines course takes Jenkins users beyond basic build jobs, providing a comprehensive overview of pipelines. We cover pipeline automation from the basics, through advanced use cases, pointing out common patterns and common pitfalls. A knowledge of basic Jenkins is assumed, but no prior experience with pipelines is required. After this course, you’ll have the tools to start automating your software build, test, and deployment activities following Jenkins best practices.
React is a popular JavaScript framework for creating components. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript providing type safety as well as numerous other advanced features.
