Deep Dive: DotNet and CF Pipeline - Larry Smithmier & Nathan Allen-Wagner, Magenic

For organizations transitioning from traditional DotNet to CloudFoundry, the process can seem daunting. This session will walk through a narrow happy path for training and setting up a team for success, from a backlog and a blank screen to your first production deployment. Topics that will be discussed include kanban -vs- sprints, appropriate decomposition and user story sizing, scaffolding, source control and branching, build tooling, testing and gated builds, and deployments. Some common pitfalls will be examined and tricks to avoid grafting current bad practices to a new development platform will be covered as well.
