“DevOps with ASP.NET Core, EF Core, & TFS2017”: Slides & Code

[Updated 3/23/2017 — If you saw this talk at DevBoston or Code Camp Boston, it’s the same slides and code at NYC .NET.]

I spoke at the NYC .NET Developers user group last night and gave my new “DevOps with ASP.NET Core, EF Core, & TFS2017” talk.

DevOps is all about software delivery.  Create an automated, streamlined path from development to testing to deployment — that’s basically DevOps.  Great.  So how do you do it with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core?  How do you deploy the SQL Server schema?  How do you deal with EF Core schema migrations?  What about unit testing?  How do you handle database connection strings?  What about deployments to Azure?  Don’t worry.  We’ve got ya covered.  In this talk, Ben will walk you through creating an automated DevOps flow using Team Foundation Server 2017 (TFS2017) or Visual Studio Team Services that will allow you to build, test, and deploy your ASP.NET Core & EF Core application.

As promised, here are my slides and code.  FYI, the zip for the code has json exports of my TFS build definition and release definition.

Enjoy!
