Workshop topics

[Barbanio]

Hello! @smoya and I have opened this issue so that to know opinions about the workshops. We want to create these seminars to introduce AsyncAPI to potential users and improve the knowledge of people who already know the specification and want to improve it.

For this, we need the opinion of the community especially on these points:

1. To which communities we can offer the workshops.
2. Companys or groups that might be interested in this.
3. Themes that would be interesting for these workshops.
4. And anything else you can think of regarding the workshops.

Here is the summary document of the information we have collected so far on the workshops: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qfDGhRI07vO6ZydYYRFRk6B9PyYr2oUU/edit#heading=h.gjdgxs

Feel free to post your interests :)

Welcome to AsyncAPI. Thanks a lot for reporting your first issue. Please check out our contributors guide and the instructions about a basic recommended setup useful for opening a pull request.

Keep in mind there are also other channels you can use to interact with AsyncAPI community. For more details check out this issue.

If I was looking to create a workshop on Async I think I would look at the following agenda (which reflects a little bit on what I'd like to learn):

Session 1 Taught - Hello Async

• Introduction to event driven architecture essentials
• Demonstrating event driven architecture using a WebSocket/simple example accessible in a range of languages e.g. these blog posts are really good
• What are the problems that AsyncAPI is trying to solve? Demonstrate by how difficult it is to find out what the application does from a consumer perspective and how AsyncAPI helps to solve this
• Introduce AsyncAPI

Lab 1 - Hello

• Create an AsyncAPI using VSCode Tooling?
• Generate code in language comfortable with to look at hello world

Session 2 Taught - Specification Deep Dive

• Core components of the specification
• Modelling Channels
• Defining Servers and Security Concerns

Lab 2 - Dynamic Todo List

• Set out the requirements for a Todo list application for a team of developers
• Consumer can send in a todo item and other clients get the response
• Possibly provide a UI that can hook into the local service to make this quite visual for workshop participants
• Host a sample solution on cloud to show both the power of async and the power of specifications

Other topics I'd then try to curate into a final session (but this is where I'm still learning myself would be):

• Tooling
• Participating in the community
• Supporting an additional protocol to WS used in Lab 1 & 2

@jpgough It looks pretty promising!

I'm wondering if the Todo List is a good exercise for showing how an event-driven app works. Would you mind sharing more details?
I've seen simple chat applications as the default example in many workshops or demos of event-driven apps, but I have no preference of course!

@smoya that's a good question and I think we can play around with the lab session that really helps us get to the points we want to prove out. In terms of the todo application I was thinking of a scenario where:

• There is a shared team todo list (maybe a bit like GitHub issues)
• Creating an issue notifies other team members
• Team members can comment on an issue (possibly react to an issue)
• Team members can add comments on an issue

I will put together a more detailed proposal on the above soon, but let me know if you think this might work. It actually sounds quite like a chat application 😄 - but I guess there's a bit of a dynamic nature to the channels.

I think it makes sense, right?
