In this workshop we will go from Zero to Hero with Delta. We will also show you how to work with Delta inside and outside of its original home of Databricks.

Join Anna Wykes and Falek Miah and develop the knowledge you need to work with Terraform for your Azure Data Platform Solution. In one day, you’ll design and deploy a Azure Data Platform solution in Terraform using a Devops Pipeline. Here you will develop transferable Terraform skills that can be used with other Cloud Providers.

Code Clubs offer an amazing opportunity to introduce our next generation to coding, with simple brightly colored drag-and-drop tooling to get them started, we are successfully inspiring many to join the tech industry. In this session I want to talk you through my journey setting up a Code Club for neurodiverse children, what I found worked, and what doesn’t. I hope that from this session you will be inspired to follow the same path I have, using your amazing tech experience to empower some of the most vulnerable children, enabling them to become inspired not just by coding, but the tech industry itself.

Azure DevOps is the leading deployment tool for build and release solutions end to end. It helps you plan your Agile project, manages Git code, and deploys solutions using Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines. In this session we will cover some of the core components of Azure DevOps and show you how to implement a secure deployment pipeline, using unit tests and gating with your CI builds and CD releases.
