Build AI-First Apps Faster with Semantic Kernel

Semantic Kernel (SK) is a lightweight SDK that lets you easily mix conventional programming languages with Large Language Model (LLM) AI “prompts”. In this talk, you will learn:

What is Semantic Kernel and its main components
How to use Semantic Kernel with OpenAI or Azure OpenAI API
How to create complex skills with prompt templating and function chaining
How to use vectorized memory and intelligent planning
How to use ready-to-use skills or create your own skills for various applications
By the end of this talk, you will know how to build AI-first apps faster and more easily with Semantic Kernel and LLMs.

10 things dotnet developers need to know while using CosmosDB SQL API

Are you a .NET developer used to relational databases but wanting to incorporate CosmosDB into your workloads? Join us for a fast-paced talk where we’ll explore the top ten things you need to know to make the most of CosmosDB. We’ll start with the basics, explaining what CosmosDB is and how the SQL API fits into the picture.

We’ll tackle the big question: should you move your data to CosmosDB right away? Hint: it depends. You’ll learn how to store your data and the best ways to access it, as well as what your data will look like in this new environment. We’ll walk through the process of converting relational data into NoSQL data, and learn how to perform CRUD operations as a .NET developer.

Global distribution is a key feature of CosmosDB, and we’ll discuss what you need to consider to make the most of it. Performance and throughput measurement will be covered, along with tips on avoiding blocking calls to keep your applications running smoothly. Finally, we’ll explore logging and diagnostics to help you keep track of what’s happening under the hood.

This talk will mix code examples and learnings from real-world experience, providing you with practical tips and advice.

How Event Sourcing architecture and serverless technologies enable e-commerce

Many business critical systems are built using SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). These days as the amount of data and users have increased exponentially, some of these SOA systems have resorted to desperate measures like stringing together dozens of *synchronous* API calls to fulfill simple operations like inventory look up. This not only results in high cost for performance but also high costs for maintaining these system. This talk attempts to show some of deficiencies of legacy architecture like SOA and how these are addressed in e-commerce by using modern techniques like Event Sourcing. We will heavily leverage the cloud in doing so. As a result, we will use some Serverless principles to handle the plumbing and coding.

The Ethical Software Developer's Guide for Workplace Politics

*Politics* is a four-letter word in the software development world, and many software developers would rather debug COBOL code than deal with workplace politics. But in this talk, I will show you that politics (workplace politics) is not a dirty game, but a useful skill for software developers that can be conducted ethically. We will explore how to make friends and influence people, aka cultivating allies, without being a jerk or a suck-up. I will also reveal how to spot the different kinds of allies, and when to play the political card to get things done and get ahead.

A primer on NoSQL databases

Developers often have to deal with multiple types of data stores. Most developers intuitively seem to graph relational databases because there's multiple decades of tribal knowledge built into this area. However, in the last decade plus, numerous non-relational (NoSQL) data stores have sprung up and developers often have some amount of consternation over which one to choose. This talk is intended to give some high level knowledge and understanding to help with these decisions. Worst case, you will come away with enough to dazzle other developers with your knowledge of NoSQL data stores

A primer on Configuration in ASP.NET Core

Back in the days of yore, ASP.NET applications used .config XML files for handling config values. While file based configuration is still around today, the use of middleware and dependency injection has revolutionized how ASP.NET Core apps handle configuration. In addition, it has become necessary to decentralize configuration handling due to microservices and other distributed architecture. This talk will provide an overview of configuration providers for ASP.NET core apps including file-based, in-memory, environmental and cloud-based providers.

The reality of burnout among software professionals

Burnout among software professionals is far more widespread than we would like to admit. It sneaks up on us. At first we dread going in to work each day. We can barely focus enough to get through the day and struggle with otherwise simple-for-us tasks. It starts there and gets much worse. So what are some of the things that cause us to burn out? We will draw from personal experiences and have a frank and productive discussions on some of the well-known, and not so well-known causes of burn out, how to recognize the symptoms, how to avoid getting burned out and some tricks on coping.
