Evaluating C# Mapper Libraries in 2023: A Dive into Performance and Practicality - Kobus Smith
In the ever-evolving world of C# mapping libraries, 2023 has seen significant advancements. Libraries such as AutoMapper, Mapster, Mapperly, and TinyMapper each offer unique performance and practical benefits. We'll dissect these libraries to understand their core differences and discuss the benefits of source-generated mappers vs reflection-based mappers.

About Kobus:
With over a decade of experience in the .NET ecosystem, my journey began in South Africa, working in the American real estate sector, developing applications using WebForms, C#, and VB.NET. My toolkit has since expanded to modern frameworks like .NET Core 6, React, and Angular. My passion for writing performant code was honed during a two-and-a-half-year stint with a South African-based company focused on public safety in America, where performance wasn't just a luxury—it was a necessity.

Efficiently releasing (internal) NuGet packages: security and workflow optimization - Erik Lieben
In this presentation, we'll guide you through the process of automating version updates for your internal NuGet packages based on PR commits while using Azure DevOps. We'll explore the security aspects of NuGet package management, including package source mapping, package cache folders, and the importance of package lock files. By the end of this session, you'll have the knowledge and tools to simplify your workflow, saving time while ensuring the security and consistency of your internal NuGet packages.
