From Xamarin to MAUI - Next Level Mobile Development

For old school Xamarin developers and new to mobile development developers alike, this talk is designed to get .NET devs up to speed on the new MAUI framework.

We'll cover how .NET MAUI simplifies the project structure into a single project to target multiple platforms and how you can easily deploy to any target that you wish including your desktop, emulators, simulators, or physical devices with a single click.

We'll cover the built-in cross-platform resources available and show how you will be able to add any images, fonts, or translation files into the single project and also how .NET MAUI will automatically setup native hooks so you can just code.

Developing in SharePoint - A Crash Course

A fast paced ride through the land of SharePoint development. The tour will cover everything from No-Code solutions to using JQuery and SPServices to extensions using the new SharePoint Framework and everything else in between!

Turning SharePoint Designer Workflows into Power Automate Flows

We'll go step by step taking an existing SharePoint Designer workflow that sends emails based on a central list that stores feedback from an intranet site and show how to convert this on premises workflow to a cloud based Power Automate Flow! We'll cover a bunch of the options for providing the same functionality as before as well as many new features that exist only in a Power Automate flow.

Power BI vs Tableau - A Side by Side Comparison

Having recently attended the Tableau conference, this session will compare and contrast these two powerful BI tools and showcase their pros and cons. We'll walk through ingesting a data set into each tool and perform several visualizations to see how easy or hard it is to tell our data story.

Intro to Power BI

For anyone new to Power BI, we'll cover all the main features and walk through getting data into the tool (using both the desktop and online versions), creating visualizations, turning them into reports and adding them to dashboards. When we're through we'll have several BI components available to share via the Cloud!

Razor Pages with Entity Framework Core in ASP.NET Core

During this demo heavy talk, we'll cover Razor Pages, the Entity Framework Core, ASP.NET Core, and MVC. We'll show how to use the tools and templates built into Visual Studio to auto create pages to support CRUD (aka scaffolding) and how to use dependency injection to make use of services as needed.

Intro to Dataverse inside of Power Automate

Microsoft Dataverse (formerly known as the Common Data Service) lets you securely store and manage data that's used by business applications. Data within Dataverse is stored within a set of tables (fka entities). A table is a set of records used to store data, just like data is stored within a database.

Learn how Microsoft Dataverse ties into Power Automate. Create a Flow, see what triggers and actions are available and how you can use this all to move data back and forth between environments such as Microsoft Dynamics and SharePoint!

Create a web API with ASP.NET Core MVC

Learn how to building a web API with ASP.NET Core.
We'll demo how to create a web API project, add a model class, and create and register the database context. Then we'll add a controller and CRUD methods. We'll add and configure routing and URL paths. We'll call the web API with Postman and with jQuery. At the end, we will have a web API that can manage "to-do" items stored in a relational database.

Build Your First SharePoint Client-Side Web Part with the SharePoint Framework

Client-side web parts are client-side components that run inside the context of a SharePoint page. Client-side web parts can be deployed to SharePoint Online, SharePoint 2019, or SharePoint 2016. HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JavaScript libraries are used to build these web parts.

In this talk, we'll walk through the process of building a client side web part from the ground up. We'll introduce the pieces and parts of the new SharePoint Framework and we'll also cover what you need to get started and how to set up your development environment.

Big Data in Action: Integrating Hadoop with BI

We will explore delivering a corporate tabular data model that includes a table which sources its data from an optimized Hive query. We will combine a modern data warehouse with a traditional data warehouse data and cloud Big Data to enable data insights. We will use a Azure subscription to create Azure Storage and an Azure HDInsight cluster.

Intro to Azure

An introduction to Azure and the Microsoft Cloud for Developers. We'll discuss how to use Azure VMs as well as creating apps.

Intro to Visual Web Parts

In SharePoint, Web Parts are an essential component of ASP.NET technologies used to present dynamic information to users and are arguably the most common customization created for SharePoint. In this presentation, we discuss and demonstrate how to build a web part using Visual Studio and its visual design tools. We'll create a visual web part and use LINQ to SharePoint to retrieve data from a SharePoint list to be displayed in our new visual web part. We'll then build and deploy our web part to a SharePoint site to see it in action!

SharePoint's Hidden Lists

Ever had a workflow email not get sent? What about a user with full control getting an Access Denied message? The answer to these and other mysteries are revealed in this talk where we explore the hidden lists of SharePoint and how the information in these lists can help solves problems like unsent emails from workflow notifications. We'll also show how issues with these lists can cause invalid access permissions and other issues and we'll discuss how to identify and address these problems.

Scaling the SharePoint Development Landscape

Interested in getting started with SharePoint development but not sure where to begin? This talk will dig into the many tools and technologies available to the budding SharePoint developer. From so called "No Code Solutions" to the recently released SharePoint Framework, we'll dive into each methodology and discuss the extension points, the technologies involved, and artifacts that can be created. We'll cover SharePoint integration with .NET, C#, Client Side Object Model, Server Side Object Model, Node.js, NPM, React, Angular and more! We show you how to create Web Parts, Delegates and Event Receivers, just to name a few.

SELECT * FROM SharePoint

Ever want to know how many Tasks are assigned each day? How about the last modified document for each user? Sure, some of these can be answered by a view, but what if you are exploring your data? Do you keep creating new views? There is a better way! We'll show you how to create business intelligence using tools you already have, like Excel and Access. We'll connect to SharePoint document libraries and lists and query them like any other data table. We'll show you how to connect to lists like Tasks, Announcements and even Surveys!

SharePoint and Azure - How to Jump Start SharePoint Development Fast and Easy with Cloud Power!

This presentation shows how to use Azure Virtual Machines for hosting a SharePoint 2013 and 2016 farm in the cloud! We will demo how to get started with Azure using Dev Essentials, a free offering from Microsoft for developers to get started with developing on Azure, and we'll show several ways to get a SharePoint farm up and running using the SharePoint farm wizard in Azure. Once we have our SharePoint 2013 farm up and running, we will demo adding an Azure based virtual machine to our SharePoint 2013 farm, and then install SharePoint 2016 on it, to give us both a SharePoint 2013 and 2016 farm in the cloud!

Intro to Machine Learning with ML.NET

Come and get immersed into the world of machine learning with this introduction and demonstration of to ML.NET. We'll show how to create an app that can predict the type of iris flower based on features such as petal length.

Did you know that the average company has three to six different products end users have installed that do pretty much the same thing as your corporate standard app? Why? Lack of change management and understanding end users. In this session we look at end users' fear of change, the importance of a change management plan, and tips and tricks on getting end users to adopt software and actually use it. Hear from corporate trainers, change management professionals, and see examples from real customers of how they achieved roll-out success and usage.
