.NET Foundation and the Future of Tech with Jon Galloway & Jean Thirion, an AMA! from NDC Sydney 2018

As usual there were a host of top industry pros talking about various subjects related to software development. This year, SSW TV worked alongside .NET Rocks! to run an entire track of live interviews with some of those speakers after their sessions and talked about a number of topics.

In this AMA, SSW’s Jean Thirion speaks to Jon Galloway, executive Director of the .NET Foundation, about his career, the .NET Foundation, .NET Core 2.2 and the future of technology.
