GTUG

Dear Microsoft Swiss PSUG, We have planned another exciting event. **Place & Language:** Place: Isolutions AG, The Circle 38, 8058 Zürich (Hybrid with Teams) Language: EN **Session 1: Automated deployment of Azure SQL VM with PowerShell** Description: If you need to deploy (almost fully) automated an Azure SQL VM on a frequent basis, this session may be for you. You can use PowerShell, a language that a lot SQL Server DBAs know; and you can use your knowledge of this language for your advantage, so that you have an infrastructure as code solution to deploy your Azure SQL Server. I am going to show you how to do this, including restoring a SQL Server from a network attached file storage within your VM. Speaker: [MVP Kay Sauter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaysauter/ "https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaysauter/") **Session 2: Migrate from EWS to Microsoft Graph** Description: Exchange Web Services (EWS) is deprecated, and Microsoft Graph is the modern API for accessing Microsoft 365 data. In this session, we’ll explore how to transition your scripts and automation from EWS to Microsoft Graph using PowerShell. You’ll learn practical steps, authentication options, and best practices for migrating existing workflows. Whether you manage mailboxes, calendars, or other Exchange Online resources, this session will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make the switch smoothly. Speaker: [MVP Andres Bohren](https://www.linkedin.com/in/andres-bohren/) **Agenda:** 17:00 Welcome 17:30 Session 1 18:15 Session 2 19:00 Networking and Beer 20:00 End of Event

**Softwaremodernisierung auf Knopfdruck** ist im Zeitalter von AI Agents der Traum vieler ITler. Ja, ein Agent kann heute schon eine Legacy Codebase über Nacht komplett neu strukturieren. Aber wer übernimmt ab dem nächsten Morgen die **Verantwortung** dafür? In diesem Vortrag zeigt Markus, wo **agentische Ansätze in der Modernisierung von Softwaresystemen** großen Nutzen stiften, aber auch, was ihnen für den nachhaltigen Erfolg fehlt: Techniken, welche AI Agents an die Leine nehmen. Dazu greifen wir auf bewährte Klassiker der **Legacy-Code-Modernisierung** zurück, welche **agentische Workflows** mehr verantwortbar machen wie etwa Seams zur Begrenzung des „Agent Blast Radius“, Golden Master Testing zum Absichern des aktuellen Verhaltens und Fitness Functions zum messbaren Nachweis von Qualitätsverbesserungen. Dadurch liefern AI Agents weiterhin ein hohes Tempo, doch sie bleiben dank unserer Leitplanken auf der Spur. Denn am Ende zählt nicht, wie viel sich im Code bewegt, sondern ob das Legacy System wirklich vorankommt. Markus Harrer ([https://markusharrer.de](https://markusharrer.de)) ist Software Evolutionist bei INNOQ und hilft, Softwarearchitekturen strategisch und wirtschaftlich sinnvoll weiterzuentwickeln. Sein derzeitiger Schwerpunkt liegt auf der verantwortungsvollen Modernisierung von Legacy-Systemen, wo er datengetriebene Software Analytics mit generativen AI-Tools kombiniert. Er ist akkreditierter Trainer bei socreatory für iSAQB Foundation Level und Advanced-Level-Modul IMPROVE. Er ist Autor der Bücher „Strategische Spielzüge" und „Qualitätstaktiken" sowie Mitautor von „Software Reviews". Zudem organisiert er das Software Architecture Meetup Nürnberg.

Be-weekly lessons with experienced practitioner Ingrid Wenger. We want to consciously experience movement together and give our bodies the attention they need. Everyone participates according to their abilities – together, yet each at their own pace. We work with balls, bands, music, but above all with our imagination and lots of fun. The training is based on the Franklin Method and Karin Gurtner's Slings Myofascial Training. The goal is to increase your physical well-being and open up a new connection to your body. It's wonderful to discover that you already possess many tools within yourself to enhance your quality of life. Simple and without much effort.

**Kon-Tiki Comedy Tuesday!** Zurich's longest standing weekly Comedy Night : English Standup at Kon-Tiki Bar since 2018! **Tickets :** [https://shorturl.at/fgjmM](https://shorturl.at/fgjmM) Kon-Tiki Comedy has long become a staple of Tuesday Nights in Zurich! Veterans, regulars, amateurs & newbies from all around the world show up to make people laugh. This Comedy Open Mic is regularly Hosted by Ahmet Bilge. Kon-Tiki Comedy is the place for English Standup in central Zurich. Come join & laugh with us! **Early Show starts at 19:30 pm // Late Show starts at 21:30 pm** **Frequently Asked Questions:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Q: Is the show in English?** A: YES. Kon-Tiki Comedy is always in English. **Q: What's the difference of a Comedy Open Mic from a regular Comedy Show?** A: Anybody who wants can go on stage at a Comedy Open Mic. A bunch of Comedians will be there, but they will be trying out jokes, because this is how Comedians find out if something is funny or not, so you get to be there at the birthplace of jokes. Often Comedy Open Mics are more casual & but also funny as well! **Q: Can I perform Comedy also?** A: Yes of course! Just contact theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com if you're interested in performing. Or directly go to the event page on facebook & write "SPOT" inside the event discussion. You'll be confirmed later & will get 5minutes to start off with. Anybody can sign up! **Q: What about these seats?** A : We have enough seats for everyone but the first come first served rule applies! Especially since Kon-Tiki Comedy is popular, often it is packed inside, so come early for good seats. What's early? Anything before 19:00 & you will have your seat of choice. **Q : What about the late show?** Depending on the turnout a late show is also available most of the time, please check the ticket page to see if there is a late show option. Basically if you can buy tickets to the late show, it's happening, if it's not an option for a ticket it's not! Both shows might be consolidated into one if there's not enough ticket sold for the late show. In this case you will recieve an e-mail telling you so. **Q : Can I refund my ticket?** There are no refunds allowed because it becomes too much work for a simple Comedy Open Mic, so only buy your ticket if you know you're for sure going to be able to make it. But if for some reason you can't make it, you are welcome to use your ticket for any future Kon-Tiki Comedy Shows. Just write an e-mail to exchange. **Q : Can I buy tickets at the door?** No please don't. Technically we can but it complicates everything, so just buy them online. Just to persuade you NOT to ask to buy at the door: Tickets at the door are 15.-CHF. Please buy online : ) **Q: Will it be funny?** A : You betcha. You can't do a regular show since 2018 & not be funny. **Any other questions:** Email: theamericanstandupshow@gmail.com with the title "Kon-Tiki Comedy" But if it's any of the questions covered by the FAQ above, I will still answer it, *but first I will insult you.* **Legal Disclaimer:** Comedians may film their sets as well as the audience during the comedy show. By buying a ticket you consent to being filmed in this public space. If you ever have a problem with any clip published online you are very welcome to contact us & ask to have it removed, we are happy to accomodate you. Thank you for your understanding.

[🎟️ swissICT hat noch ein paar freie Plätze für diesen Event](https://www.swissict.ch/event/agile-breakfast-zuerich-eine-unerwartete-reise-der-agile-weg-der-suva/) Aus der Erfahrung von 30 agilen Planungsintervallen blicken Jens und Flavio mit uns zurück und voraus. Ein ehrlicher Blick auf ihre agile Reise mit Stolpersteinen und überwundenen Hindernissen, und ein Blick voraus: Welche Schritte folgen als Nächstes, um unsere Organisation weiterzuentwickeln? Die beiden Release-Train-Engineers beleuchten, wie die Kultur der Suva die Transformation unterstützt, wie die Transformation auf die Kultur wirkt – und welche Schwierigkeiten bei Veränderung auftauchen. Dabei versprechen sie spannende Einblicke in Themen wie Flow-Metriken, die Arbeit mit Priorisierung auf allen Ebenen sowie den Umgang mit organisatorischer Veränderung. ✱✱✱ [Jens Balkausky](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jensbalkausky/) ist häufiger Gast am Agile Breakfast und seit 25 Jahren in der IT Branche unterwegs: zunächst als Java-Entwickler, IT-Architekt und IT-Projektleiter, dann viele Jahre als Scrum-Master in verschiedenen Teams und nun seit ca. 3,5 Jahren als SAFe Release Train Engineer.

Hares (who set the route) are Spermalbad and Christian Harlot. **Where**: Meet at the lockers in Bhf Stadelhofen (https://maps.app.goo.gl/kS6gV8DsSq5soo9r6, or Plus code 9G8X+J9 Zürich). Look for English speakers wearing running gear. **When:** We'll meet at 6:50 pm to start at 7:00 pm. There's a charge of CHF 5 for participating, which covers as much beer/cider (and non-alcoholic alternatives) as you can drink afterwards, plus snacks. **On After:** The clue is in the title (although I got the name of the venue wrong). It's between Gleis 1 and Stadelhoferstrasse. **All Welcome:** If you are curious, and want to get out of the house, stretch your legs, talk shit, enjoy a drink, and hopefully a laugh, then here's what you need to know: • We are a social running/walking group - physical fitness is not required, but a sense of humour helps. • The aim is to find the '*Beer Stop*' at the end of the '*trail*' and have fun. • 'True Trail' is typically 4-7 km. Some will go less (especially those walking or walk/running), and some over-achieving fast runners will go further. • The '*Hare*', which changes with each event (along with the location), cleverly lays the trail (typically with chalk and/or flour markings) so that everyone reaches the end at about the same time. • There is always a place to deposit your bag and sometimes a place to change. • Headlamps are highly recommended during the winter months, especially if we go into the woods, which is often the case. • **After Trail**, we group in the '*Circle*' for 30-40 minutes for drinks, snacks, and some fun. This is usually outside, so bring warm, dry clothes to change into. If you don't want to stand around drinking afterwards, you can head home. We often go to a nearby restaurant for the 'On After' afterwards. **Why bother leaving your warm & dry sofa?** If you enjoy getting outside, being around people, and doing something a bit different, you will probably enjoy hashing. Exercise is important, and this is probably the least boring way to get it. 'Hashing' and the idea of some physical activity to work up a thirst, have been around for almost 90 years and there are groups (*Hashes*) in most major cities. Its humor and traditions can be explored on the internet - **or you can just come along and find out.** *See you there.* We are of many nationalities, all ages, full of misfits and idiots (at least there is no one taking themselves seriously!) and always welcome newbies 'Virgin Hashers' and visitors from other groups.

Meeting @ Improving's office in Downtown Columbus, near Cosi. Parking is paid, food & drink are free! This time we're hanging out after the long winter break. We are going to look at a group-member's project used to help learn the fundamentals of Go, and if time allows, we can take a look at how we like to build Go projects using AI.

Window functions have nothing to do with the Windows operating system but provide a “window” to a result set when used in SQL queries. They are powerful, set-based methods to view data in unexpected ways. Window functions provide easy, set-based solutions to solve some common problems: * Using running totals * Performing operations in intervals * Identifying data gaps and islands * Performing aggregates without losing detail Many people are confused by window functions and do not know how to use them properly. This session will explore window functions, how they work, and how to use them. Demonstrations with several examples will solidify how window functions can simplify queries and make them more powerful.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer.
