Distributed Systems with .NET Aspire: From Code to Cloud (by Jason Taylor) [~1h]
Distributed systems can be overwhelming - but with .NET Aspire, building them feels refreshingly simple. In this session, we’ll explore a multi-service, message-driven application and see how Aspire streamlines orchestration, configuration, and diagnostics across your system.
Along the way, I’ll show how easily you can plug in messaging, persistence, and observability without the usual wiring and complexity. Once it's running locally, we’ll set up CI/CD and deploy the whole thing to the cloud - with minimal effort.
Whether you're modernising an existing solution or starting from scratch, you’ll walk away with practical ideas and a new appreciation for Aspire’s end-to-end developer experience.
Schedule (Brisbane/Australia):
5:00pm Attendees can arrive in-person.

Modernizing a 17th Century Italian-English Dictionary (Wayne Sebbens) [~1h]
John Florio's Italian-English Dictionary was first published in the early 1600s, and while it's a popular resource for translators of Renaissance-period texts it's not kept up with the times!
Join me on this journey to bring it into the 21st Century with .NET, a custom vector embeddings model, and Aspire to glue it all together.
Schedule (Brisbane/Australia):
5:00pm Attendees can arrive in-person.
5:30pm Refreshments.
6pm Housekeeping & Intro.
6:05pm Talk by Wayne Sebbens (~1 hour).
~7:15pm Close.
