Hey there, I subscribed to the "SOA Done Right" workshop because I'm interested in the topic. However the requirements are a bit of an issue for me and I think it's best if you have these mentioned in the workshop descriptions in the future.

I have a Mac and I'm not familiar with Microsoft's tech stack. I would have most likely chosen a different workshop if this information was presented from the start.

Thank you.

Hey! Folks, if setting up Windows 10 / VS Studio is a showstopper, please DM Janis in Slack – let's see what we can do. 💡

@sizovs, the most likely idea (as far as I've seen so far) is to actually pair with someone during the Workshop. This sounds very reasonable to me and it shouldn't be an issue. Thank you.

Another recommendation: it might be a good idea to make the workshop OS independent, by using .NET Core and Docker. Then more people could join and enjoy it 👌

@sizovs I actually ended up looking thru the requirements a couple of times searching for exactly this 😄 I was hoping I missed the references haha

@mpavel Where are you taking this workshop and from whom?

DavidBoike commented 4 years ago

Aha, I figured out from @sizovs's bio that you must be taking it from @jbogard at DevTernity.

I'll let Jimmy know. (Or rather, by pinging him I just did.)

We commonly call this workshop "SOA Done Right (with examples in ASP.NET and NServiceBus)" which usually communicates the tech stack pretty well, but I see that for whatever reason the only clue here was the tag (is it a tag?) .net examples which doesn't quite convey the same thing. Sorry about that!

@DavidBoike, that's correct, I'll be attending the workshop at DevTernity in a few days. I was already in touch with the team there and there's a few more people in this situation (Mac, no Windows and not using the tech stack) and I will pair with someone for the day - this should work out well.

I will close the issue now. All the best!

I managed to setup a vm on my Mac with Windows 10 and get the pre-reqs setup. It's pretty sluggish due to my hardware but may be possible if you have a better Mac than I!

Also would like to pair up as well just in case my Mac doesn't hold up to speed. :)
