Desktop Development -> File | New | What Now??? with Paul Usher

Desktop Development -> File | New | What Now???

Join Microsoft MVP & DevExpress Technical Evangelist Paul Usher, as he takes a look at the state of play for desktop development. During this frank session you will see where technologies like Electron fit into the picture, which technology should you reach for when starting a new desktop project? WinForms? WPF? Electron? Should you be targeting xplat? Is .NET Core the next big thing? Can devices like the Raspberry Pi replace some desktop functionality? It’s set to spark some interesting discussions and is one meeting not to be missed! (evening proudly sponsored by DevExpress)
