.NET Conference

.NET At Build 2014 the world was introduced to the idea of creating Universal Windows apps. This technology will allow developers to extend platform commonality across multiple Windows devices from one shared project.

In this session I will demonstrate what you will need to know to get going quickly on building one application for both Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 OS. We will also see how to extend your project to include other new features.
.NET In this session, we will looking at how SignalR has the ability to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as it happens, in real-time, and also look at the Persistent Connections model of communication . You will then learn how to integrate SignalR into an ASP.NET application, use SignalR to communicate with clients.
.NET You may know TDD but do you know BDD? Just like its cousin Behaviour Driven Development is a technique focusing on development using automated tests but at the functional or behaviour level. Think automated acceptance testing using English sentences with a few extra keywords: Given, When and Then.

In this presentation I'll be using SpecFlow, a Visual Studio extension that help us write BDD style tests easily.
.NET Microsoft Application Insights for Visual Studio 2013 is a suite of tools designed to help teams derive key metrics from their applications. Users can see detailed information about usage, performance and availability of their websites, Windows Phone apps, Windows Store apps, Windows Azure services and more.

In this talk we will see how to add Application Insights to new or existing Visual Studio projects as well as Windows Azure services.
.NET 10 years after the release of the original book Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans we are seeing more and more applications built on the core concepts of DDD. Still, there is a long way to go before we fully grasp all its potential. First we need to change the way we do things in our projects. I this session I will show one of the possible implementation in C# that I've been using for many years now.
.NET Writing apps for Android and iOS? Tired of writing the same code twice? How about one code base that would be compiled natively (yes, natively) on each platform? In this presentation, we’ll take a look at the Xamarin platform and how you can reuse your code across iOS, Android (even Windows Phone) and create apps that run natively on each platform.
.NET Visual studio is the one shop stop for most .NET developers; it’s a shame since there are other powerful tools out there.
WinDbg is such a tool – it can help analyze and solve bugs, memory issues, deadlocks and is crucial to solving bugs that are found on the client machines.
The problem is that WinDbg is not as friendly as Visual Studio (to say the least) – or is it?
In this talk I’ll show how a .NET developer can use WinDbg to crash bugs.
