Reflecting on 2020 – Embracing Change
With so much of our time already dominated by Coronavirus, I
didn’t want my 2020 year in review to be just about the changes
it has wrought on the world. I know in Australia we have all
experienced the upheaval at work, the pain of the severe
lockdowns, social isolation, and more importantly, the fear for
the vulnerable.
Over the Christmas New Year Break I took an afternoon off with my
girls, and we sat and wrote a retrospective of 2020 and then
shared our highlights and lowlights with each other. We
discovered that 2020 for us was about embracing change and
lowering our expectations. Even though it was massively
disruptive, the girls were able to see the positives. It was
nice to hear them talk about the year like that, because it
showed their resilience. My daughter Eve who is now 19, wrote a review
of her year too. After that we did the same thing again
with our goals for 2021. I always enjoy that time with my
family.

Automagic Multi-Tenancy Config for Mobile Apps
by Matt Goldman
How do you get environment- or tenant-specific config
into your users' hands? For consumer apps where
everyone's configuration is the same, this isn't a
problem. But for Enterprise apps with a unique
configuration for each tenant or environment, your
users need their config to get up and running.
When deploying a web application to different
environments or tenants, developers and sysadmins
can configure those environments, either manually or
with DevOps, and your users don't have to worry.
With mobile or desktop apps, for managed devices we
can pre-configure these using SOE or MDM tools, but
deploying configuration to unmanaged devices is the
real challenge.
In this talk, Matt looks at some different options
for automating this for your users, to reduce human
error and improve the UX.
