Chris Klug - MVP

Chris Klug is a developer-badass-as-a-service that either creates or solves problems depending on who you ask. He loves creating and building things. Whether it be a new application, a new kitchen or a new RC helicopter, you will see him building things all the time. Most of the time, that means writing code and solving problems for clients at a company called Active Solution in Stockholm though. Except for the many days he spends talking about doing things he is passionate about at conferences and usergroups, and for the days he goes mountain biking, IPSC shooting or kiteboarding. For the last 15-something years, he has been solving problems for customers, and loving it.But if he gets to choose, he'll go to the beach and kitesurf every day!

Session: Building a Better GitHub Pages Experience Using Azure Services, How Hard Can It be?

Building a Better GitHub Pages Experience Using Azure Services, How Hard Can It be? Have you ever looked at something and thought “I wonder how that works” or “I wonder how hard it would be to build that”? I think we all have! That’s why we are developers… And that’s exactly what I thought when I saw GitHub Pages! Don’t get me wrong! GitHub Pages is an awesome concept! Automatically generate a static website from your version-controlled markdown files, and host it in the cloud so that it is easily accessible. I love it! But it also got me thinking, “I wonder if I can’t build a better version of that in no time using Azure, and maybe even add some features”. So that’s what I did! In this talk, we will take a look at how easily we can build fairly complex systems using the services available to us in Azure.In this case, all I needed was a little DevOps, a container registry, some storage, a CDN, some serverless functions, a Docker container and some open source software to get it all going.And no, I didn’t spend 100 hours on it! I don’t have that much time to on stuff like this! And I’m sure you don’t either!So let me show you how you can use Azure like a set of building blocks to create weird and wonderful things in hours instead of months!And in a lot of cases, more or less for free! And who doesn’t like free stuff! ?

Session: Beef up your APIm security

The internet is a scary place, with scare people, scary places and scary HTTP POSTs. Having Azure API manager in front of your services adds a lot of really nice security, but you can always add more. I will show you how to adhere to OWASP, have a useful firewall and scan all incoming messages using additional Azure services. The internet will still be a scary place, but you can at least handle scary HTTP POSTs.
