DataSaturday NL 2019

Date: 5 th October

Location: Pathé Leidsche Rijn

Data Saturday Holland is the new name for SQL Saturday Holland. A new start a new location and wow what a top location, Pathé Leidsche Rijn. A cinema with 7 screens and ranging from 180 to 668 seats.

Speaking Dinner

The speaker dinner on Friday evening started with a climb of the Dom tower in Utrecht. Unfortunately, due to the renovation, we were unable to reach the top entirely, but we have achieved the 318 steps upwards. At the same time we were briefed about the history of this tower. After the climb we had a nice dinner together.

Event

Saturday the day of the event started early, the event was sold out with 750 tickets. Due to illness of 1 of the speakers I was asked to give an extra session. It's always an honor when they ask you to do an extra session. There was not much time left to prepare, but it worked out eventually. After this session the other session followed immediately. I did this session together with Ahmed Mansour. I had never did co-present a session before, but I really enjoyed it and will certainly do this more often. It brings a lot of variety during a session, but the session also becomes more interactive. In addition, the fun Ahmed and I had during the preparations was definitely worth it.

Thank you

Thanks again to the organization and the crew, and of course all sponsors because without sponsors it is almost impossible to organize such a big event. As usual, it was another top event and I am already looking forward to next year.

The presentations of DataSaturdayNL and sample code can be found here.

Recorded Sessions

This is the first time I have recorded a session. Nice to see again, but also to learn from it again.

by | Oct 13, 2019 | Data Saturday, Events

Recording of my session on DataSaturdayNL 2019 Can we store our Connectionstrings or BlobStorageKeys or other Secretvalues somewhere else then in Azure Data Factory(ADF)? Yes you can! You can store these valuable secrets in Azure Key Vault(AKV). But how can we achieve this in ADF? And finally how do we deploy our DataFactories in Azure Dev Ops to Test, Acceptance and Production environments with these Secrets ? Can this be setup dynamically? During this session I will give answers on all of these questions. You will learn how to setup your Azure Key Vault, connect these secrets in ADF and finally deploy these secrets dynamically in Azure Dev Ops.

Recording of my session which I co-presented with Ahmed Mansour on DataSaturdayNL 2019 During this session we will walk you through all the different Tiers in Azure, DTU, Vcore, Serverless and Managed Instance and will provide examples when to use which Tier. We will also show you the Microsoft Data Migration Assesment (DMA). This tool will help you to decide which tier you should choose.

TechoramaNL 2019

Date: 2 th October

Location: Pathé Ede

From September 30 th to October 2 nd TechoramaNL was held in the Netherlands for the 2nd time. TechoramaNL is the largest deep knowledge IT conference in the Netherlands with 1500 participants and 120 sessions in 2 days. With more than 1000 submitted sessions, the selection was very difficult. I was therefore very proud that my Session was selected.
Decoration, catering, speaker room, reception, parking, communication and speaker dinner were well organized. Hereby a compliment to the organization, volunteers, ministry and of course all sponsors because without sponsors it is almost impossible to organize such a big event.
Thank you for inviting me and hopefully until next year.
Pictures of the event can be find here.

The presentations of TechoramaNL and sample code can be found here.

Below are some impressions of the session which as been filmed by Reitse Eskens @2meterDBA:
