Simon Painter

Simon Painter

I've been working as a .NET developer for over 16 years now in a variety of industries including government, retail and manufacturing. But I've been hacking around with computer code since I was old enough to read my Dad's copy of the ZX Spectrum BASIC coders manual.

I've been speaking about Functional C# at various user groups and conferences around the UK, USA, Europe and Australia and am particularly interested in seeing just how far we can push C# without breaking it.

In 2023 I released my first technical book: "Functional Programming with C#", published by O'Reilly Media.

When I'm not coding, or running after my two small children, I have been known to enjoy the classic series of Doctor Who, Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, Cryptic Crosswords, and rather more coffee than is probably good for me.

Dennis Vroegop

Dennis Vroegop

Dennis Vroegop is Director of Global AI at New Orange, a Microsoft MVP, and a developer who has been happily writing code for over 30 years; long enough to remember when “AI” meant neural networks you built by hand and apologised to afterwards.

He wrote a book on systems programming in C# and .NET, which is to say he rather enjoys the deep end where the floorboards come up.

These days he helps organisations turn AI ambition into systems that actually ship: tested, governed, and accountable, rather than merely impressive in a demo.

He speaks all over the world, always trying to send the audience home as daft-with-enthusiasm as he is. And he cares as much about the people building the technology as the technology itself: as a leader, the way he sees it, his job is to keep people safe, curious, and having fun doing what they do best.

The answer, as ever, is usually 42.

Microsoft MVPs

Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) are recognized experts in their respective technical communities who actively share their knowledge and expertise with others. The MVP award is given to individuals who have made significant contributions to the Microsoft community through their involvement in technical forums, user groups, conferences, and other events. As a result, many MVPs are sought after as speakers at industry events, sharing their knowledge and insights with others.

When an MVP adds their award to their speaker profile, it can serve as a powerful endorsement of their expertise and credibility. Event organizers and attendees alike recognize the MVP award as a symbol of excellence in the field of Microsoft technology, and are more likely to view MVP speakers as authorities on the subject matter they are presenting. This can help MVPs secure speaking engagements, as well as increase their visibility and recognition within the community.

In addition to the benefits for the MVPs themselves, including the ability to network with other experts and gain exposure for their work, the community as a whole can benefit from the contributions of MVP speakers. By sharing their knowledge and insights with others, MVPs help to elevate the level of expertise and understanding within the Microsoft community, ultimately leading to better products and services for everyone.
