Microsoft Copilot was launched in February 2023 as a chatbot for coding assistance. The application has since grown from providing GitHub coding examples and permeated into a variety of platforms, such as Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Windows. Now it offers the ability for professional software developers to create custom copilot experiences using natural language or a graphical interface. In this session, we’ll explore Copilot from basic to advanced and the tools available for creating a rich user experience.

Sam Basu is a technologist, author, speaker, Microsoft MVP and Lead Developer Advocate for Uno Platform. In this presentation, Sam will give us an introduction on how to design and develop cross-platform .NET Apps with Uno Platform and AI.

According to Sam: Uno Platform is the most flexible open-source stack for cross-platform .NET development, complete with enterprise-grade tools on any OS/IDE/AI Agent. From a single shared .NET codebase, developers get to target iOS/Android for mobile, web browsers through Wasm and Windows/macOS/Linux for desktop/embedded systems. Developers are empowered by rich tooling on any IDE, templates, design patterns, choice of UI stack (Skia/Native) and all UI from Microsoft/3rd party ecosystems, just works. Modern WebViews also allow for web UI/styles – web content built with any SPA framework is welcome. Paired with Uno Platform Studio, developers can elevate productivity with the fastest C#/XAML dev loop, flexibility in technology stack and top-notch tooling to empower enterprise workflows.
