Johnny Hooyberghs is a consultant for Involved since 2014 focusing on .NET architecture and backend development and a Microsoft MVP since 2020. Prior to joining Involved, he has had experience developing software for Corilus since 2008. He has been passionate about .NET ever since it was released and his areas of expertise are C#, .NET (Core), ASP.NET (Core), Entity Framework (Core), Cloud Native Development, Azure Cloud and ALM using the Microsoft Stack. Every now and then he enjoys doing some web development using Blazor and app development using MAUI. From 2010 to 2020, Johnny spent some of his free time teaching .NET and C# for the adult education institute CVO Antwerpen. When he's not working or teaching, he likes some casual gaming, scuba diving, learning to play the piano, travelling the world and visiting as many theme parks as possible.

Building your own AI Agent using Semantic Kernel

How many AI agents and LLM's does it take to change a lightbulb?
LLM's are a very hot topic right now? But can we use them in a real business scenario?
Thanks to a Microsoft backed, open-source SDK called Semantic Kernel, you can seamlessly integrate an LLM-based AI with your own code to perform more complex tasks like sending emails, updating databases, ordering tickets, and much more...
With Semantic Kernel, you can leverage the same AI orchestration patterns that power Microsoft's Copilots in your own applications.
In this session, Johnny will explain the concepts and prove them with a number of hands-on examples.

What is new in .NET and C#?

November 2024 marks the release of .NET 9 and C# 13. In this session, I will talk about what is new in the latest version of .NET and what the future will bring for the .NET platform in general. Expect a number of new .NET 9 and C# 13 features and examples of those features.

Goodbye Azure Kubernetes Service! Hello Azure Container Apps!

You have decided to run your cloud-native applications using containers? But how will you deploy these containers to Azure Cloud?
AKS or Azure Kubernetes Service is very popular, but also adds a lot of complexity to setting-up and deploying your infrastructure!
ACI or Azure Container Instances are very easy to setup, but don't offer you enough flexibility?
ACA or Azure Container Apps are Microsoft Azure's new serverless container offering, built as an abstraction on top of AKS, and could be the solution to your question!
In this session I will introduce you to Azure Container Apps and compare it to AKS and ACI and guide you through setting-up a multi-container app using Azure Container App container environments.

Hands-On building Cloud Native applications with .NET

Building cloud-native applications and services that will run in the cloud, both public and private, is an important decision to make in order to achieve continuous delivery, reliability and faster time to market. In this session, we will talk about building cloud-native services for Azure, using the latest version of .NET. What are containers? What is all this Kubernetes talk? Should you use microservices for all your future projects? How do you manage your data? How do you implement logging, metrics and secret management?

In this hands-on DevSession, we will build .NET services, running in Docker containers and deployed into Kubernetes on Azure Kubernetes Service.

Bring your laptop with Visual Studio Code, Docker and an active Azure Subscription.

Building cloud native applications using Microsoft Orleans 7

Orleans 7 is a cross-platform framework from the Microsoft Research team that helps you to build robust and scalable distributed cloud-native applications. Orleans has been around for many years and is battle-tested by a number of internal Microsoft products and teams.
In this code-heavy session, I will explain what the Orleans framework is all about: What is the distributed virtual actor model? What are grains? What are silos? I will also dive a bit deeper into the more advanced Orleans features like heterogeneous silos, streams, transactions, etc.
Throughout this session, I will show you how I implemented Orleans in one of my personal projects to enable flexible scaling and easy cloud deployment. Finally, I will discuss how I deployed my Orleans application to AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) and ACA (Azure Container Apps)

Azure Quantum & Microsoft Q#

You've probably heard about quantum computing, but it still remains a mystery? In this introductory session, I will explain important concepts like qubits, superposition and entanglement and how quantum computing can hopefully help us to solve exponentially large problems.
Some theoretical knowledge about quantum physics, quantum gates and quantum algorithms will be combined with examples using a simulated environment on a local PC and on real quantum hardware using Azure Quantum. Most of these examples will use the new quantum language Q# from Microsoft and some additional examples will use Python to solve optimization problems using the Azure Quantum Inspired Optimization (QIO).

Creating a quantum algorithm using Microsoft Q#

In the last couple of years, there has been a lot of talk about quantum computing. Last year, Microsoft has released their preview of Azure Quantum. So today, you cannot only write quantum programs on a simulated environment with Q# and .NET, but you can also write Q# and target a physical quantum computer on Azure Quantum.
In this session, I will guide you through the implementation of an existing quantum algorithm, step by step, while I explain all the details. This will be a very technical and code-heavy session.

Introduction to Microsoft Orleans for your cloud native applications

Orleans is a cross-platform framework from the Microsoft Research team that helps you to build robust and scalable distributed cloud-native applications. Orleans has been around for many years and is battle-tested by a number of internal Microsoft products and teams.
In this code-heavy introductory session, I will explain what the Orleans framework is all about: What is the distributed virtual actor model? What are grains? What are silos? How is a shared state stored in a distributed application?
Throughout this session, I will show you how I implemented Orleans in one of my personal projects to enable flexible scaling. Finally, I will discuss how I deployed my Orleans application to AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service).
