I am an entrepreneur and consultant in the Software Architecture field from Milan, Italy, serving as the CTO of Managed Designs while still eager to write code in real projects to get feedback about my architectural decisions.
I am a Microsoft Regional Director for Italy, providing strategic feedback to Microsoft's senior leadership team.
As a trainer and speaker, I had several speaking engagements for courses and conferences across Europe such as TechEd Europe, Ignite Dev Tour and Codemotion.
In 2001 I co-founded UGIdotNET, the first Italian .NET User Group, of which I am the leader; due to my contributions to the .NET developer community, I have been awarded by Microsoft as a Most Valuable Professional since 2003.
Andrea Saltarello è founder di Improove, il network di community che supporta la crescita di talenti tech ed aiuta le aziende ad entrare in contatto con loro.
È docente della School of Management del Politecnico di Milano e, in qualità di Microsoft Regional Director, è advisor del senior leadership team di Microsoft Corporation.
È relatore presso eventi e conferenze internazionali quali: Codemotion, Microsoft Ignite Tour, WPC ed altre ancora, autore di articoli tecnici per differenti testate editoriali e co-autore di "Microsoft .NET: Architecting Applications for the Enterprise", pubblicato da Microsoft Press.

WebAssembly chiama, Blazor risponde
WebAssembly sembra essere la panacea di tutti i mali dello sviluppo di front-end: binario, performante, standard W3C, language neutral; un vero e proprio SDK "nativo" per lo sviluppo web ormai supportato da tutti i browser più diffusi, insomma. Facendo leva su Razor, il view engine di ASP .NET Core, Razor è il toolkit open source proposto da Microsoft per generare WASM compilando codice C#. In questa sessione introdurremo Blazor ripercorrendo il percorso che mi ha portato a sostituire il front-end di una SPA realizzata con Vue.js con una app WebAssembly.
Technology as a means for inclusion
The son of a deaf person, I've soon become well-aware of how disabilities make for a harder living.
My father had all his auditory bones (hammer, anvil and stirrup) surgically removed because of acute otitis, yet he could hear sounds by means of bone conduction glasses. This was in the late ‘70s and despite being bulky and awkward, those glasses were pure magic in the eyes of a child. Technology-based magic.
Forty years on, I’m amazed by the technology we have and how effective it might be when it comes to tackling these issues: bots, for example, make software accessible to people who simply can’t “just” point’n’click. Furthermore, Azure Cognitive Services are key to addressing a variety of impairments.
Even if your ethics didn’t kick in, this is a market you don’t want to turn a blind eye (pun intended) to in this day and age, so let’s have a conversation (and a few code-based demos) about it.
Azure Cognitive Services: una panoramica
Creare, addestrare e mantenere un modello è tipicamente la parte più difficile nel processo di adozione dell'Intelligenza Artificiale: gli Azure Cognitive Services affrontano il problema offrendo modelli domain-specific preaddestrati e facilmente consubabili da una applicazione per scopi quali riconoscimento del linguaggio naturale, sintesi vocale, computer vision ed altro ancora.
Cloud tales: real world CQRS/Event Sourcing
CQRS and Event Sourcing (or, more in general, applications using events as their basic information block) are by no means new kids on the block, yet a lot can be told about how to use cloud platforms to unleash their power without having costs soaring.
The ingredients list is quite simple: an event store, an event dispatcher, read model(s) and computing options to run back-end services. Picking up technologies in a cost savvy way, though, isn’t trivial due to the amount of viable options: should we go PaaS (e.g.: CosmosDB/DynamoDB, AppService, ASB/SQS) or IaaS? CosmosDB/DynamoDB or Mongo? Where do containers fit in this context?
Eager to know our recipe (and look at real code)? Don’t miss this talk then.
ASP .NET Core: a pragmatic introduction
It has controllers, but they’re not quite like the ones we already know.
It has middlewares, but they’re not OWIN’s.
For how much similar ASP .NET Core might appear to its “Classic” counterpart, it is definitely worth our while to know the differences so to not trigger the threat posed by the assumption that we actually can design our solution in the same very way we’re already used to.
Integrated Dependency Injection and Logging, cross platform support when run on top of .NET Core, the revamped Razor view engine and the upcoming v 2.1… All this and much more will be covered throughout this code-focused talk.
Implementing chatbots and Alexa skills using Azure Cognitive Services
Thanks to the recently released v4 of the Bot Framework SDK, creating your first bot is a breeze; still, implementing a production viable one is no easy task since several aspects must be taken into account such as user authentication, integration within existing apps, multi language support, technical considerations (e.g.: Azure Functions vs. Web Apps, Blob Storage vs. CosmosDB) and, last but not least, operational costs.
Moreover, you might want to reuse your bot’s Azure hosted, Cognitive Services-backed code to address Amazon’s Alexa users to avoid the need to implement (and evolve) it twice.
Eager to learn how to do that for real? Don’t miss this code-based talk then.
