A new phenomenon stand out in recent years: security must pervade the entire software development lifecycle. Except it isn't. Current generation of processes and tools is lacking crucial features to properly manage modern security risks. Think of the Log4J event. Were you able to identify all affected components? Were they internally developed, or you need a vendor support? How fast you were able to deliver a fix? In this talk we'll explore the challenges, what you can do with current tools, and which gaps should be addressed by communities through better practices and new tools.

What separates the highly-skilled developer from the one fresh out of college? Why is it that some developer's code is far easier to maintain and others are nearly impossible to decipher? Both boil down fundamentally to whether you can easily understand the ideas and intent conveyed in their code. So what makes for easily understood code? There are some communication principles we can apply to our code to make it cheaper to change, and faster to understand. After all Code is read more often than it is written. It ought to be easy to read!

Observability across multiple components in distributed systems can be a challenge, particularly when things go wrong and need investigation. Application Insights can simplify the challenge, and give deep insights into a distributed system at multiple levels.

Microsoft Build is Microsoft’s annual Developer Conference. This year, it took place from 24th – 26th May 2022.
