Last week was Microsoft's annual developer conference aka Build. Three days of total software geekitude: Azure, IoT, .NET, Visual Studio, and even a doggie petting zoo. Yes, your modern developer apparently gets so stressed out at a Microsoft conference that they need to rub a Golden Retriever's ears to calm down.
Hey, worked for me.
We were lucky to snare Jeff Fritz aka @csharpfritz who live streams on Twitch seemingly non-stop working on coding projects small and large. Jeff brought his portable OBS/Twitch setup and live streamed from the conference courtesy of Progress Software along with some help from Mobilize's own Dee Dee Walsh and DocuSign's Marie Huwe.
Jeff set himself to interview as many people as possible and probably earned some kind of Guinness Book of World Records entry, if not at least a pint of Guinness. And to keep it interesting, he brought his Blazor blazer (see below).
We've stuck a bunch up on Youtube for you to enjoy:
- Mary Jo Foley on what was new at Build
- Ed Charbeneau from Progress Software on Blazor
- Microsoft CVP Charlotte Yarkoni on engaging with Microsoft and learning the stack
- Marie Huwe (DocuSign) and Mike Risse (Seeq) on The Old Days
- Scott Hunter from Microsoft on the .NET 5 release schedule
- Tim Huckaby from interknowlogy on privacy laws and more
- Finally in a kind of coding relay, I showed how to migrate a VB6 app to a native web app using .NET Core and Angular 7, then Corey Weathers of Twilio added SMS notifications based on events, and finally Matt King of DocuSign added secure document creation with digital signature. Try doing all that with a VB6 app...
Hilarity, as they say, ensued. Check them out and enjoy.
