An Agile Approach to Documentation and Onboarding Your Team

So, how's the documentation coming along on your project? How long does it take to on-board someone on your team whether technical or non-technical? Is your documentation getting lost in User Stories that get completed?

I have been working to discover effective approaches to documentation and creating on-boarding content for new team members. I look forward to sharing some tools, techniques, and examples that you can apply to your next project. The value of creating effective documentation is just as important as the product itself.

nopCommerce - Architecture Walk-Through

nopCommerce is the most popular open source eCommerce solution for .NET developers. The nopCommerce solution has a familiar architecture, a plug-in model, and an active community.

This is a fast paced walk-through of the nopCommerce architecture and source code, as well as, how this solution evolved from using ASP.NET to ASP.NET Core to using .NET 6.

There are many libraries, patterns and practices to be shared that may impact how you approach your software development.

Going Solo

I went solo as an independent software developer over 10 years ago, and I never looked back. Unlike many that have gone solo, I did not want to have employees, nor create a software consultancy. I wanted a career path that provided the most flexibility without any financial cap.

In this talk, you will learn from successes and (big) failures. We will briefly touch on how to get started. You will discover that working by the hour is not how you can grow your business. Also, you will discover that niching-down is what really opens the door to success.

Implementing Blazor into a very popular .NET open source solution

nopCommerce is the most popular open source eCommerce solution for .NET developers. The nopCommerce solution has a familiar architecture, a plug-in model, and an active community.

In this talk, I will demonstrate how Blazor was implemented within nopCommerce to where Blazor Server and Blazor Client are both used for practical purposes to replace various JavaScript libraries.

You will discover whether or not you can truly replace various client-side JavaScript libraries/frameworks like jQuery, DataTables.net, moment,js, typeahead.js, React, Angular, Vue, and others in an enterprise solution.
