December 13, 2023 09:00 - 25.1 MBIn 1971, three students from Minnesota thought they could liven up a history lecture by creating a computer game for the students to play, and after several days of work in HP Time Share BASIC, they came up with what turned out to be a significant milestone in the history of computer games - Oregon Trail. Oregon Trail is often regarded as one of the first great computer games, as well as being the originator of a franchise that is still running to this day. It was effectively also one of th...

How does Hot Reload even work, with David Wengier
April 12, 2023 09:00 - 21 MBHot Reload (and Edit and Continue) are reasonably amazing technologies allowing you to apply code changes on the fly, without stopping your application, or seemingly even recompiling it. Whilst a Hot Reload demo is all well and good (and I'm happy to provide one if you like), I personally find it much more interesting to talk about how it works under the hood, why some things don't work, what things might work in future, etc. This session will be a dive into the details of .NET DLLs, how th...
Writing XAML like it's 2023, with Matt Lacey
March 08, 2023 09:00 - 20.9 MBWhether it be MAUI, WPF, WinUI, Xamarin.Forms, UWP, Uno Platform, Avalonia, or any other technology that defines UIs with XAML, there are some common complaints about working with XAML files that have been around as long as XAML has. It can be hard to write, understand, maintain and modify. But, it doesn't have to be this way. The solution isn't abandoning XAML entirely, adopting a new framework, or using a different pattern. The solution is treating XAML like a "real programming language....
How do I get rid of my ifs, with Calvin Hong
February 08, 2023 09:00 - 12.8 MBYou've been bashing your head against a wall for 5 hours trying to figure out what went wrong. Suddenly you remember what you were thinking when you wrote this code 2 years ago. "But an if statement would be so easy here," you had said. "Nobody will look at this anyway," you had said. Past you was a real jerk, weren't they?!
Containers in .NET 7, with David Gardiner
November 09, 2022 10:00 - 3.2 MBRunning .NET inside a container has been supported for a while, but up until now, building the container image required a bunch of extra steps. Until .NET 7! We'll contrast how much easier it is to build containers for .NET apps in .NET 7, how you can customise the image to your needs, incorporate it into your CI/CD pipeline, and any limitations to be aware of.

.NET Snapshot testing with Verify, with Simon Cropp
May 11, 2022 09:00 - 15 MBVerify is a snapshot tool that simplifies the assertion of complex data models and documents with all popular .NET unit testing frameworks. Verify is called on the test result during the assertion phase. It serializes that result and stores it in a file that matches the test name. On the next test execution, the result is again serialized and compared to the existing file. The test will fail if the two snapshots do not match: either the change is unexpected, or the reference snapshot needs ...

Azure Logic App custom connectors with Sam Fernando
September 11, 2019 08:00 - 23.8 MBLogic Apps Custom connectors are a great way to abstract your APIs and plug them into logic apps using a reusable connector pattern that is developer friendly. These connectors plug right into the logic apps designer to present a seamless experience. Whilst this uses API documentation to provide help with using the operations, they also use various security techniques. Join us at the September User group where Sam will take us through all the steps involved.

Putting the Sec in DevSecOps with Jakob Pennington
March 13, 2019 09:00 - 16.2 MBDevSecOps seems to be the flavour of the month when it comes to software security. Is this just a buzzword, an ideology that's only applicable in unicorn start-ups, or are there tools and practices that we should be using to write more secure code. In his talk, Jakob explores DevSecOps as an approach to avoiding the common issues he sees as a penetration tester, and presents a process to build out a DevSecOps pipeline.

ASP.NET + TypeScript: Frontend Architecture with Dan Harris
February 13, 2019 09:00 - 15.8 MBThere's been a lot of buzz in the frontend world around various frameworks and architectures. In the midst of this explosion in experimentation, sometimes a more basic, 'vanilla' approach, is left on the sidelines. When is a SPA a good option? When is a jQuery-style solution appropriate? How do you manage state? These are some of the questions we'll explore in this talk. Additionally, we'll run through an example setup using ASP.NET & TypeScript (sans any 'frameworks'). So, get your thinking ...
