🎙 João Antunes - Next level console apps with Spectre.Console 🎙

📝 Abstract:

Even if they're not our main focus, many of us regularly create console applications in .NET, be it to test some feature, run some benchmarks or automate some tasks.
In all these use cases, we get the job done, but not being the main focus of our day-to-day job, things end up a bit hacky and not as easy to use as they could.
What if I told you we can have our cake and eat it too? Or, in better words, we can create these console applications to help us, but make them more user friendly without too much hassle.
That's exactly where Spectre.Console comes in, an open source library that helps us create beautiful console applications, from parsing command line arguments, prompting the user for information, providing progress reports and much more!

👤 Bio:

Hey folks! My name is João Antunes and I work as a software architect/engineer, mostly with .NET technologies, but I like to play around with other tech as well.
My main interests are software architecture, design and development, with more focus on the backend, but with a view of the whole stack.
I love to explore new technologies, dig up some fringe topics and dive into over-engineering sessions, but always trying not to forget the basics and how they're essential to everything else.
