Xamarin Dev Day London October 2016

by Kayleighon 9th October 20169th May 2019Leave a Comment on Xamarin Dev Day London October 2016

The Xamarin Dev Day was held at Microsoft’s building near Paddington.  It was a modern building, very bright and filled with light.   What Was Covered on this Xamarin Dev Day Short presentations were made to start the day off.  The presentations given were: Intro to Xamarin Cross platform Xamarin Cloud …

  • I continued working through the video course for the AWS Cloud Practitioner exam today. I've got quite a lot more to do which I'm surprised about. And due to me being really ill over the last 7 days, I've not got much done at all but relaxing and taking it easy (on doctor's orders!). But, time is ticking and I may need to try and get as much done this week as possible. I think from next week my free time will be cut short so I need to keep up the pace. Would be great to get these notes wrapped up before mid December so I can figure out if I can take this exam in January or whether I'll need some more time to prepare. We shall soon see. Onwards we go! . . . . . #aws #exam #cloudcomputing #cloudtech #cloudpractitioner #acloudguru #motivate #persevere #femaleentrepreneur #developer #supportdevs #appdeveloper #womenwhocode #womenintech #womeninstem #awseducation #blackfemaledeveloper #femaledeveloper #wocintech #pocintech #girlswhocode #girlsintech #mumintech #mumdev #blackentrepreneur
  • Testing Basics: What is API Testing? API stands for Application Programming Interface. These systems are usually built implementing a service architecture. A service will have a number of public endpoints that external systems can use to interact with. It's these endpoints that we use to test against for API testing. Requests and responses are sent back and forth between the service endpoints and the system all the time. If the service receives a request that is invalid, it could respond back to the system with an error. It's important to make sure that when invalid calls are made that you know how the service will respond in order to give the correct feedback to the user's of your system and developers. The same is true for invalid responses are received from the service. When this information is gained, it thanked the development team to make sure errors are caught and handled correctly. . . . . . #API #apitesting #testing #services #endpoints #developingtests #testingbasics #qa #qaengineer #softwareengineer #softwareengineering #kayleighcodes #automatedtests #codecoverage #coder #coding #blackfemaledeveloper #femaledeveloper #wocintech #pocintech #girlswhocode #womenwhocode #womenintech #womeninstem #girlsintech #mumintech #mumdev
  • Does this setup look messy to you? I've been upgrading my MacBook to the updated version of #Catalina. While doing this I wanted to try and make my workflow for building iOS apps less painful. Currently, everything is done manually from testing my latest build on the iOS devices all the way through to deployment. While this has worked previously because my output of iOS projects has been low, I want to change this. So this means the way that I work will also have to change (especially now that I'll have even less time in future!). I like my desk to be clean and tidy. A messy desk is a total deterrent for me to being able to sit at it let alone be productive. I was initially drawn to Instagram because of the clean looking setups. I thought I could use these to help me improve my own and eventually become more productive. However, I've noticed that my setup is quite unique as I have two laptops: one for iOS and one for Android development that need to fit neatly onto a small 100cm desk along with my ultra widescreen monitor, mouse and keyboard. It's been a struggle to get it to this state and I really thought I was done, but when everything was connected up, all the visible wires started to grate on me. I know it really shouldn't matter but when I'm working with limited space, all my space counts. My ideal setup would be one that allows me to turn on one power socket, and: - have both machines running on the network - Be able to connect either iOS or Windows devices to either machine (if necessary) and create builds - Be able to switch to my MacBook (if needed) without running programs like Bootcamp. I'll see what my research turns up. Do you do iOS and Android development? If so, what does your setup look like? . . . . . #macbookpro2013 #SurfaceLaptop #setup #workstation #femaledeveloper #programmer #dev #csharp #developer #developerlife #girlswhocode #womenwhocode #womenintech #womeninstem #appdeveloper #apps #softwareengineer #softwareengineering #android #iOS #codingapps #iosdeveloper #androiddeveloper #mobileapps #appdevelopment #blackfemaledeveloper #girlsintech #programmers
  • Testing Basics: What is Regression Testing? Regression testing is when you test across the product for any issues that may have occurred during the implementation of new or updates to existing features. This level of testing is usually carried out on the system level. The process is usually quite time consuming and in-depth as the scope can be the entire product. Depending on the time you have to carry out this testing, the scope maybe be limited to only focus on high risk, business critical, or customer facing features. To ensure that testing of this type is carried out to the best of the team's ability, some tests are automated in order to get fast feedback on the results for these business critical features for the developers and QA engineers. Although it would seem like the best way to get everything covered regularly, automation doesn't usually cover 100% of the product's regression test cases. Not everything can or should be automated. . . . . . #regression #regressiontesting #testing #developingtests #testingbasics #qa #qaengineer #qaeducation #softwareengineer #softwareengineering #kayleighcodes #automatedtests #codecoverage #coder #coding #blackfemaledeveloper #femaledeveloper #wocintech #pocintech #girlswhocode #womenwhocode #womenintech #womeninstem #girlsintech #mumintech #mumdev
  • My latest post discusses why I think that those that have the end goal of gaining a job as developer SHOULDN'T go through QA. What are your thoughts? This is a VERY common career path that I think is being exploited by some. Are these candidates just taking jobs from those that really want to progress and grow a career within QA? Or do you agree that if you want to become a developer, you should do so by any means necessary? Read the full post on my site http://kayleigholiver.com/please-stop-using-qa-as-a-stepping-stone/ Let me know your thoughts in the comments. . . . . . #buildingqacareers #buildingtestingcareers #testing #developingtests #testingbasics #qa #kayleighcodes #buildingdevskills #gettingtechnical #developingtests #qaengineer #softwareengineer #softwareengineering #automatedtests #codecoverage #codingapps #coder #coding
  • Testing Basics: What is Automation Testing? Automation is when you perform various actions in a sequence to create a process. Automation within testing is carrying out more than one set of checks on a subset or the entire system under test for certain aspects. The set of tests that run normally dictate which process is being tested. Usually, when we refer to automation testing, we are talking about writing and running automated scripts locally or with a CI/CD tool. Like performance testing, automation testing is a field within itself. There are different types of automated tests that you can perform at the various levels of the application. Specialising in one or more of these will certainly provide you with enough work on a day-to-day basis. Are you a QA automation engineer? . . . . . #automation #testing #developingtests #testingbasics #qa #qaengineer #softwareengineer #softwareengineering #kayleighcodes #automatedtests #codecoverage #coder #coding #blackfemaledeveloper #femaledeveloper #wocintech #pocintech #girlswhocode #womenwhocode #womenintech #womeninstem #girlsintech #mumintech #mumdev
