Computer Stuff They Didn't Teach You

Limor Fried is an electrical engineer and owner of the electronics company Adafruit Industries. She started Adafruit in her MIT dorm room and has never stopped since then!

I had the pleasure of speaking with our Microsoft Learn Student Ambassadors about what's beyond mentorship. What's the difference between mentorship and sponsorship? What's the role of the senior engineer as the college to an early in career engineer? What must we do to welcome the next generation of creators and what are our responsibilities? Let's facilitate a welcoming culture of learning and exploration and normalize not knowing the answer! The Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador community is all about learning and exploring— check it out if you’re a student (age 16+), or know one who might be interested: https://StudentAmbassadors.com

Setting up a website, domain, SSL, hosting for FREE Today we setup an Azure Static Web App, deploy, host, and set DNS all in one un-edited shot

In this video we are blurring the lines between operating systems and showing you the future of software development using Visual Studio Code, WSL2, Ubuntu, the Windows Terminal, Oh My Posh, and the Remote Extensions for VS that enable a Windows Developer to be a Linux Developer! We also see .NET 5 as I debug my website running in Linux from Windows!

Basic Home Networking 101 - We will talk about IP addresses, general Networking, setting up Wi-Fi, DHCP, DNS, and general troubleshooting!

Teaching at University in the middle of a pandemic with intention and Microsoft Teams with special guest Dr. David Kellermann from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia. Dr. David Kellermann joins Scott for a conversation and amazing demo on how Dr. K uses Teams, multiple cameras, XSplit, and other tech to engage his students!

Most folks are just using the cloud as "a virtual machine in the cloud." This is an easy but somewhat naïve perspective. Let's talk about persistent cloud storage, the VMs that sit on top of that, and the software that sits in top of that and try to demystify the cloud. We'll use Azure as the example but this is a nondenominational video.

Overwhelmed with Programming? Is it your physical space or your digital space? Let's talk about deliberate practice, intentionality, but let's also explore small focused things we can do to improve our "Developer's Inner Loop" as well as some hotkeys, editor tricks, and other calming techniques you can use to get "un-overwhelmed."

How do you use the Command line? PowerShell, cmd, bash? This gentle 101 video explains the command line in THREE SHELLS at the same time. The DOS/Windows Command prompt (cmd.exe), PowerShell, and bash on Ubuntu Linux. Thanks to https://www.powershellmagazine.com/ for the use of their PowerShell Logo! http://computerstufftheydidntteachyou.com for the whole playlist

Ok, they taught you this, but it was confusing! This covers Stacks! * Stack (as in data structure) * Stack Allocation (as in memory allocation) * Stack Frame/Call Stack * Recursion and Stack Overflow

We've learned about docker and containers, we've seen how they can do one thing well. What happens if they are connected and work together? How do we move from one container to n containers? Why is this useful? This 30 min, clear no-cut video will get you what you need to know to start your Kubernetes journey...or not.

A gentle and clear explanation of cloud computing. This 20 min video talks about the components of a computer, starting with a Raspberry Pi, Laptops, Phones, Desktops, then moving up to a massively powerful Azure Stack Edge rack mounted device, until finally talking about the Cloud itself. It consists of millions and millions of computers all working together to make the world turn. What if Bob Ross worked on Cloud Computing? https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/azure-stack/edge

Port already in use? ERR! What app has that Port open? What's the relationship between ports and processes? What if I use Windows? What about Linux? Can I manage my ports and processes at the cmd line? bash? All this, and more, one take, all demos.

Containers are confusing. They are a buzzword that everyone is saying but no one understands. Why use them? Why are they better than virtual machines? How are they different than just using a machine regularly? Let's build a Dockerfile FROM Scratch and built it up to an Nginx webserver and finally a multistage Dockerfile with building, testing, and running, in production, in just 30 min!

Git Push --Force will destroy the timeline and kill us all! Ok, not really. But you really want to understand what's going on before you attempt it. Please be careful out there in these git streets. http://computerstufftheydidntteachyou.com/ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0M0zPgJ3HSesuPIObeUVQNbKqlw5U2Vr
