Performance is a feature. We all want our code to run faster, and there are plenty of ways to do this – caching, using a smarter algorithm or simply doing less stuff. In this session, we’re not going to look at any of that. Instead, we’re going to focus on a recent trend in the C# world – improving performance by reducing memory allocations. We’ll see how recent versions of C# allow using structs without creating lots of copies, and we’ll have a timely reminder on exactly what is the difference between a class and a struct. We’ll also spend some time with the new Span runtime type and find out how that can help work with slices of existing memory, and how it’s already into the types we know and love in the framework. And of course, we’ll take a look at when you should and (more importantly) shouldn’t use these new techniques.

Cloud functions have been taking the industry by storm. Always available, scale transparently, only pay for the compute you use (100% utilization) and deploy instantly with zero downtime. However, getting started is fraught with complexity and configuration. In this workshop you will quickly learn all the angles of 'serverless' technology using Amazon Web Services: – A Brief Introduction to Amazon Web Services – Introduction to JSF Architect – Intro Web Dev: HTML and JSON with API Gateway – Intro Web Dev: Custom Domains with Route53 DNS – Test Driven Intro to DynamoDB: Setup and DB Design – Test Driven Intro to DynamoDB: Reads – Test Driven Intro to DynamoDB: Writes – Scheduled Functions – Build and deploy a JSON API – Build a Slackbot: Slash and Mentions – Build a Slackbot; Buttons and Menus – Closing Thoughts and Next Steps JSF Architect tames AWS complexity and gets you immediately productive deploying live to isolated staging and production environments. We will set up a CRON function that runs on an interval completely in the cloud. We'll create a website on a brand new domain and be deploying to in seconds complete with user auth and state. We'll create a stateless restful JSON API. We'll close the workshop by building a completely functional bot for Slack.
