What is this Blazor thing, anyway?
WebAssembly is a binary instruction format for a virtual machine that runs in the browser sandbox. It is currently available on four major browser platforms. It promises near-native performance for computationally intensive client-side applications.
Blazor is Microsoft's project to bring the power of WebAssembly to .NET developers. Originally targeted at C# developers on the ASP.NET stack, recent developments have allowed F# developers to target Blazor as well.
This lightning talk will give a overview & introduction to the concepts behind WebAssembly and Blazor for C# and F# developers.

Talk 2 - Raising next generation of passionate coders - Tomasz Bartoszewski
It’s not always easy to start, with a number of languages and technologies you can pick what you like the most. What about people who just start their adventure? How should they judge which language will be the best to learn? What should they do first? It took me many years, from the time when I wanted to write some code, to actually doing it. That’s why, I try to help young children, learn coding the fun way. Join the session to hear more about CoderDojo and how you can inspire a future generation of passionate coders.
