Semantic Kernel for Developers: A Hands-On Guide to AI Integration
Getting started with AI can be overwhelming. In this session you'll learn how to connect an LLM to your own code. Step by step we'll cover the basic and more advanced concepts. Each of them supported by code and a demo. Just enough to get a better understanding and to get your started. Going from basic chat to RAG and agentic AI while and maybe you'll learn a bit about metal music too.
Key take aways:
- Integration of AI can be easy
- After the session you'll know about some basic concepts
- What is Semantic Kernel and how do you use it?
- How you can run local (and free) models
Secondary takeaways:
- you might learn something about Aspire
- see the value of open telemetry
45-60 minutes, targeted at developers, leads and architects. Knowning .NET C# is nice but not a must have.
Agent Framework: A Hands-On Guide to AI Integration
Getting started with AI can be overwhelming. In this session you'll learn how to connect an LLM to your own code. Step by step we'll cover the basic and more advanced concepts. Each of them supported by code and a demo. Just enough to get a better understanding and to get your started. Going from basic chat to RAG and agentic AI.
There will be several examples, each supported by some theory, a bit of code and a demo. And maybe you'll learn a bit about metal music too.
Key take aways:
- What is Agent Framework and how do you use it?
- Integration of AI can be fun and easy
- After the session you'll know some AI concepts
- Knowing how you can run and AI locally (and for free)
45-60 minutes, targeted at developers, leads and architects. Examples are in C# but that is defenitly not a must have. It's about the concepts.
This is version 2 of my Semantic Kernel session. Now with the newer agent framework.
Shift left on testing with .NET Aspire
Aspire is a great way to get your application up and running together with all the dependencies it needs. But what if you could use that very same setup to run your automated tests as well?
In this session, I’ll show how to set up, run, and debug integrated tests both locally and in a CI/CD pipeline. We’ll cover setting up the depencencies like database creation and API mocking along with ways to isolate your testdata and how Open Telemetry can be used.
A hands-on, practical session that will give you a solid starting point that enables you to leverage Aspire to truly shift left on testing.
