Gain full visibility into your .NET applications by implementing observability with traces, metrics, and logs. In this presentation, we’ll explore how to instrument .NET apps using OpenTelemetry to monitor performance and detect issues.
Transformative projects are complex, large scale initiatives that fundamentally alter a product and significantly impact its stakeholders. It is very hard to build good software and incredibly harder to build them in the context of a transformative project.
Why do users prefer native apps over webapps? It's more than just a speed issue – this preference would remain even if webapps were suddenly 10x faster. It's not a browser issue either as evidenced by beloved Electron apps like Spotify, Slack, and VSCode.
Recently Russell and Eric have working on a few AI projects to build our skills in this area. We would like to share what we’ve learned and help you get started as well.
What would happen if we took immutability seriously?
In this workshop, Mauro will get us started with Elasticsearch.
For many, the graphical user interface of VSCode simplifies git, streamlining commands into digestible, one-click operations. However, this simplicity prevents many from truly understanding what actually happens when commands such as 'push', 'pull', 'fetch', and 'rebase' are executed.
Unlock the full potential of AI with our transformative talk, 'Prompt Engineering - Crafting Prompts and Code for Optimal AI Interaction'. If you've ever found yourself grappling with ChatGPT outputs that miss the mark, or if the realm of prompt engineering seems daunting, this session is for you.
Prompts play a crucial role in communicating and directing the behavior of Large Language Models (LLMs) AI. They are queries to extract useful responses from a model. Semantic Kernel is like a mixologist who looks at available ingredients and crafts new cocktail recipes.
There is a place where TLS ends and before C# begins, and there the software flows soft and bright.
A UX Story from the world's most used white labeled travel site: how we use Sketches and rapid Prototyping to collaborate with our customers and experience innovation breakthroughs.
In Last month's meeting, I learned some Terraform. Originally we intended to deploy a Dotnet app but didn't get to it, and Terraform is about standing up infrastructure, not deploying.
My name is Eric. I have been a developer for two decades and I have never written a Terraform script. It’s used a ton though, so I should learn to use it.
Are you a busy developer that constantly comes up with ideas for applications that could help your son's school, your local church or businesses in your area? Do you constantly have to turn down your friends and family members who have ideas for applications that could help their small business because you simply don't have time? PowerApps can help with this. Join us to learn more about the platform and how you can leverage it to help you help your loved ones while still staying on track timewise.
Mixed Reality features are available on the web by the use of WebXR. Experience virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) content in a compatible WebXR-enabled browser. Attend this session and leverage the power of JavaScript and web skills to create more engaging Mixed Reality experiences.
Let's talk code.
Discover C# Source Generators (official Microsoft docs) and their approach to code generation that eliminates the need for templates, multiple compilations, and additional tools.
A lot has changed in .NET over the past couple of years, especially with .NET 6 and .NET 7. In this session, we will look at the latest changes to .NET and C# including pattern matching, minimal APIs, .NET MAUI, records, and more.
MassTransit is a very popular message bus library for .NET which is usually implemented using Queueing technologies such as RabbitMQ, Azure Service Bus, or Amazon SQS. But recently they've added support for Kafka and Azure EventHubs.
