Join #gleonardo, #ccognetta hosting TampaDev and IT Pro’s have teamed up to provide our first ever DevOps event!

Welcome to Global Azure Bootcamp! Around the world user groups and communities want to learn about Azure and Cloud Computing! On April 22, 2017, all communities will come together once again in the fifth great Global Azure Bootcamp event! Each user group will organize their own one day deep dive class on Azure the way they see fit and how it works for their members. The result is that thousands of people get to learn about Azure and join together online under the social hashtag #GlobalAzure!

We will have presentations from Kevin Wolfe, John Wang, Chris Cognetta, and Greg Leonardo on a variety of topics.  We will start the day with general Azure topics, what’s new, and exciting hot topics like:

DevOps and Azure
In order to stay two steps ahead of the competition for market share, many companies have begun to fundamentally shift how they work in order to increase the velocity with which they build, test and release software. What originally started from the agile movement is now evolving into a new philosophical way of working: DevOps. So, what is DevOps?

IoT Overview
IoT is the latest buzz word.  As with any technology there is hype and there is reality.  In this talk Kevin D. Wolf, Windows Hardware Engineering MVP, will give you a grounds up overview of the reality of IoT, starting from where the data comes from, devices and sensors (The Things).  To how this works in the Cloud (The Internet) within Azure.  Windows Azure plays a huge part of the Internet of things but without Devices and Sensors you don’t have IoT, we will provide a baseline understanding of these so the Cloud and Azure will make more sense.
