Cloudy with a Chance of Mobile: .NET Everywhere with MAUI with Matt Goldman

When Microsoft first launched .NET, the vision was to offer a viable alternative to Java and the JVM – a runtime and associated language(s) that could run anywhere.

With MAUI, that original dream is becoming a reality.

Whether you’re building for cloud, mobile, browser, desktop, IoT devices, servers, embedded systems…the list goes on and on – you can write code in .NET and it will run anywhere.

With a dash of .NET, a pinch of Blazor, and a sprinkling of MAUI, you no longer need to React to any funny angles – you can have your .NET cake and eat it too.

In this talk, Matt welcomes you into his full stack .NET dream, and shows you how you can build anything in .NET, and run it everywhere.

Stop Using 👍 Wrong in Teams | Adam Cogan

A quick communication tip from Adam Cogan: don’t use 👍 as a catch-all response when someone assigns you a task in Teams, Slack, or Google Chat. In the example Adam gives, if a task will take about five minutes, a thumbs up is too ambiguous because it does not clearly say whether you’ve read it, agree with it, are doing it now, or will do it later. Instead, use 👍 for agreement, 👀 to show you’ve seen the task and are actively working on it, and then replace 👀 with ✅ once the task is done. It is a small change, but it removes ambiguity and cuts down unnecessary follow-up messages.
