The State of .NET

The industry is in a constant state of flux. What does that mean for your software projects today and tomorrow? Will your skills be outdated? Will your current investment become obsolete? What should you focus on right now? And what will become important a year or two down the road? What technologies do you need to learn? This session attempts to answer these questions and more by taking an unbiased look at current and future developments with .NET and other relevant technologies.

Machine Learning and AI for Mere Mortals

At first the cloud allowed us to move our on-premises work to a highly scale-able, highly secure, professionally maintained data center without bug up-front costs, but now it offers so much more. Machine Learning and AI are becoming part of most new applications as well as value adds to legacy apps. Enabled by the cloud, they offer so much value to not just cool new applications, but also traditional line of business applications that you can't afford to not know how to use them. Plus, it's not that hard!

Create Desktop Apps with Web UIs

Get a sneak peek of code name WEST, an Open Source project that allows developers to put a WEB UI on a desktop app. Learn how to build apps that run on Windows, Linux and Mac using HTML and your favorite JavaScript framework and/or Blazor for the user interface and .NET 5 for the rest.

Are you really doing microservices?

Microservices aren't small services. A microservice architecture is a very different approach to building applications. If you've done web services or WCF services or Web API REST services then you know what services are and you're ready to take the next step and see how large applications are designed in a manageable way with a microservices architecture. Examples will be shown using Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, .NET Core, Azure functions and a variety of UIs. Come ready to see application development in a cool new way.

Get ready to develop apps for ultra-modern businesses

Microservices aren't just small services. A microservice architecture is a very different approach to building applications. In this hands-on lab we'll build the data and services layers as well as server-less features for an ultra-modern business plan and marry them to pre-built web and mobile apps for an end-to-end example that demonstrates how apps are now being built. This is not the architecture you’re accustomed to!

You'll need an Azure subscription, so sign up for a free trial on Thursday if you don't already have one. We're also going to use Visual Studio 2017 with at least the "ASP.NET and web development", "Azure development", "Data storage and processing" and ".NET Core cross-platform development" workloads installed. The "Mobile development with .NET" workload is optional. The free Community Edition is fine. If you are running Windows 10 Pro or above and want to use Docker containers for the lab, please install the latest Docker For Windows from https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/ as well.
