In 2016, I got asked to present Best Practices on ALM/DevOps with Azure to a Ukrainian university.
This year, from Poland/Warsaw I gave another talk via Skype to 18 students for over an 90 minutes.
Because the Ukrainian students are also studying French, I had to give the talk entirely in French, which was easy as it is my native tong !

Great to have the opportunity to train during evening classes. I was live from Poland – Warsaw, with about 18 students on Azure DevOps. Many questions. Hope to see them loving Azure and VSTS soon !
You want to know more about WSL ?
We wrote an article for a detailed Step-by-step install with advices, and advanced usage in the context of Azure.
It’s on Programmez! number 212.
So glad to have been selected to provide a session on Blockchain with Connected Cars and Insurance, at the Microsoft ENVISION event in Orlando. I was lucky enough to have been invited as a guest, as part of my Regional Director’s Role. Otherwise it would have cost a fortune !
ENVISION is a Great event where Microsoft invites on stage for instance Michelle OBAMA, which was just an EXCELLENT and Historical moment for me. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/envision
ENVISION is less than 5 000 VIP attending the event (as opposed to 25 000 people for the INGNITE that happens simultaneously).
Final preparation in the morning before I jump in ; notice the healthy food !!
(to be honest, I’m the kind of “work hard, play hard” !! and we did party all night long, and I missed the VIP breakfast that Microsoft has prepared for us at the Hilton !).
Please join my session CC198, on Wednesday, September 27, 2017,
called "Blockchain is now a reality, let's discuss", room Red-04
Lovely and magic !
I joined the Agile IoT foundation, and I am an active contributor of an Agile IoT framework, based on my diverse experience on Azure IoT.
https://twitter.com/agileiotdotorg/status/867485418241105921
In 2017, this framework has proven to be mature and it has officially integrated the Open Source Eclipse foundation ! https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.duttile
Igor Leontiev and I were presenting the IoT and the Cloud Azure to dozens of students for a month ! with Labs and Hands-on. All in French, the best studends did win …. a job offer !! Here is the program !
INTRODUCTION :Le domaine de l’internet des objets est actuellement en pleine croissance et est déjà un des secteurs technologiques qui subit l’évolution la plus forte. A la fois utilisé dans la domotique, le contrôle d’appareil de productions, la récupération et le traitement d’informations, ce secteur ouvre des portes à des développements multiples.
OBJECTIF: Comprendre les enjeux de l’IoT en 2017 (Internet of Things, ou en français, Internet des Objet connectés). Nous aborderons les concepts généraux et verrons pourquoi l’année 2016 marque une rupture dans l’IoT, notamment avec les Top 3 plateformes d’IoT (Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM IoT). Et verrons en quoi ils se distinguent l’un des autres.
Au-delà de la théorie, nous verrons les architectures IoT et BigData modernes, et verrons comment les implémenter rapidement avec AWS et Azure IoT, et en quoi ils sont révolutionnaires en termes de services proposés (contrairement à avoir de l’infrastructure IoT uniquement).
PLAN DE FORMATION :
Infrastructure
Développement
PROJET A REALISER
Développer une solution complète basée sur une approche IoT. Ce sujet sera décomposé en deux parties :
Got invited by Microsoft EMEA, Global Black Belt's boss, with the presence of Microsoft Corp, to present VISEO's many success stories with Azure IoT project.
VISEO presenting Duncan Mac Cloud Garage Microsoft Corp EMEA GBB Reading London
During a Microsoft EMEA Global Black Belt meetup event, Ari, Thibault and I got the chance to present to Lillie Harris (Director Cloud/Data/IoT GBB EMEA) and her team a presentation on Azure IoT.
With a real time demo using the Scottish Duncan Mac Cloud Garage example.
then we got the opportunity to hang out evening time with the GBB Microsoft team, during an evening bowling session.
We haven’t got the chance to ask the consent of every one in the video to share it publicly. Here is just the subtitles :
L Harris : « Oh, OK, I like it. All right, I’m gonna take some photos too »
“I like it now, with two characters”
Ari : “We talk to their customer to see exactly what they really need”
X ? “Can we tweet this ??”
Y ? “Are you working for Contoso ?”
Vince : “We made that only for you today. Now you can Tweet. Before, it was secret. Even Eric wasn’t aware. It’s a surprise for Eric ”
Ari : So, in a far far away land of Edinburgh in Scotland, two brothers created a great great garage, called the Mac Cloud Garage (Mac Cloud).
In this garage, it’s starting to take a lot and lot of time, there is a lot and lot of demand of a spare part. And it’s really started to be really really complicated
Vince : Under the car, banging on the engine with a metallic tool.
“I've been a wild rover for many's the year ” (source: http://www.celtic-lyrics.com/lyrics/126.html )
“Oh shit, I need some parts again! I have to fix the car for tomorrow noon, I have to phone 20 different suppliers; Otherwise I get fired. So let’s start by Alice, and then Morton,
Where’s the phone ? Oh, the phone. Thanks very much. So Alice ??
Thib [1min 38 sec] : No No No No, don’t do that anymore, stop it.
Because, there is another way to… Because now we have repair car service, it’s a new way to get this kind of thing. You just have to talk to the device.
Vince : “what do you mean” ?
Ari [1min55] : So what is happening… is that they have a new application here, but they don’t have to see it. In this application, they have all the cars they currently working on, and in the past.
And now what they can do , is say the name of the car.
Thib: “just say the name of the car ‘BMW3’” Beeping !
Vince : “what’s that ?? it’s a joke ?”
Ari [2min29sec] : BMW3 being added, and so now what is happening is that, for this car, they need some spare parts.
So, what they are doing today, … currently it’s the real world (we went to see the customers),
They call the wholesalers, ‘and Ok, I need this part, and then I need this part’, the wholesalers says ‘OK I’ll check with my eur.. suppliers eurr…, and then I’ll call you back in 2 hours’. It’s really complicated. And they lose a lot of time.
And so, what they will be able to do here, just say some of the spare parts that they need, and it will be added to the cart.
Thib : “Just like that : Old Filter.”
Crowd : Yay !! Ha ha ha !! Applause
