Frequently Asked Questions About Jay-Steenbergen
FAQPage SchemaWhat tasks can I accomplish with Jay-Steenbergen's skills?▼
You can run structured learning projects across five tracks: GitHub Copilot mastery (inline completions, prompt files, custom agents, MCP servers), Azure server administration (AD, GPO, Entra hybrid identity, Bicep, monitoring), C# cloud app development (ASP.NET Core APIs, Azure Functions, CI/CD), security operations (Sentinel, Defender XDR, KQL hunting, SOAR playbooks), and whiteboarding (Mermaid, C4, ER and sequence diagrams).
Who are these skills designed for?▼
They target MSSA learners—veterans transitioning into technical roles—plus their mentors. The ride-along, learner-profile, TDD, BDD, and spike-then-refactor skills support instructors running guided sessions, while the track projects (ghc, sca, cad, cso, wbd prefixes) serve learners building first-time competence in Copilot, Azure, C#, security operations, and diagramming.
How do the skills load and run in practice?▼
Each skill auto-loads when the learner is working inside its named project folder (e.g., github-copilot/ghc-copilot-foundations) or asks a matching natural-language question. Teaching skills like ride-along structure sessions with goal-setting, move-by-move builds, and after-action reviews, while learner-profile persists progress to Git across sessions.
What prerequisites or dependencies do the projects require?▼
Prerequisites vary by track: Copilot projects need the GitHub Copilot extension and sign-in; SCA projects need PowerShell, Hyper-V or an Azure subscription, and the Azure CLI; CAD projects need the .NET SDK; CSO projects need a Log Analytics workspace, Sentinel, and Defender XDR; whiteboarding projects need only Excalidraw, Draw.io, or Mermaid rendering in VS Code or GitHub.
Do the skills cover security operations end to end?▼
Yes. The CSO track spans KQL foundations, Entra Conditional Access hardening, Defender for Endpoint onboarding with attack simulation, incident investigation with IR report writing, Sentinel workspace setup, scheduled detection rules, LOLBin threat hunting, Logic App SOAR playbooks, and threat intelligence integration with IOC matching via Watchlists.
