Shropshire Devs is a free-to-attend user group which is made possible by our great sponsors Proto Labs as well as our community organisers.
Speakers from both the industry and community are chosen to present on topics requested by you, our attendees. These are usually focused on web development topics.
Free pizza is provided by our sponsors for all events, because what would a developers user group be without pizza?
I don't know about you, but I'm a lazy developer. What do I mean by lazy? I don't mean I don't want to do my work - far from it - I mean that I hate to write out a great deal of code to get the job done. I want to accomplish my goals with as little effort as possible.
In this talk, I'll demonstrate a way of working that avoids all this unnecessary work, and gives you more time to do something more productive.
We've all experienced that moment when your boss/customer calls you and says;
"This is just a small change, I can't imagine it would take more than half an hour or so"
And your heart sinks, because you know what these "small" tweaks actually entail. You have to find the code, which means navigating all the "layers" of your application. If you're lucky, you can locate the relevant ASP.NET controller, but you know that's only the start.
It doesn't have to be this way!

Our world is becoming ever more data driven, we’re collecting data from more sources than ever and whilst data tools are becoming more sophisticated, working with and deriving insightful meaning from our data is still the greatest challenge of all.
During this talk we’ll look at how we can bridge that gap and help communicate meaning and intention in the data we track, whilst still maintaining the flexibility to evolve your data structures as your business needs change. We'll also dive into what standards and open source technologies we can utilise to help us roll this out across an organisation.
Protolabs is the world’s fastest digital manufacturing source for custom prototypes and low-volume production parts. The technology-enabled company uses advanced 3D printing, CNC machining and injection moulding technologies to produce parts within days.
