Our Talks:

Matthew Weston - Power Automate for Developers

One of the core aspects of development is reuse, and Power Automate allows us to quickly and easily use over 300 services inside and outside of Microsoft. Within this session, we will look at how a developer can use Power Automate, and how our custom developed code can also be leveraged through the use of custom connectors.

Steve Collins - Now That's What I Call Dependency Injection

With the release of .NET Core 3.x & the promise of a unified .NET 5 based on it, more developers have now got to grips with the basics of using the default Microsoft Dependency Injection container that comes with .NET Core. However, the story does not end there...

This talk will take you beyond the basics & cover more complex topics such as

• Avoiding unintended multiple registrations
• Conflicts between service lifetimes
• Understanding the Root & Scoped service providers
• Automated service registration packages
• Registering & resolving open generics, classes with multiple interfaces; & interfaces with multiple class implementation
• Integrating with other DI containers
• Key named registrations are not supported ... but I need it!
• Getting better startup performance from your registered services
• Thread safety & avoiding memory leaks
• Validating & unit testing your service registrations

The talk assumes that you have already had an initial dose of DI knowledge & are now ready for a top up to avoid some nasty bugs.

About Matthew:

Matt has worked with SharePoint since 2007, however has experienced working in all versions of SharePoint from SharePoint 2003 to SharePoint Online, as well as working in a range of different environments including Afghanistan.

Matt has a huge passion for the technology, and for sharing his knowledge with the community, driving technology and adoption forward through his sheer enthusiasm. Quite often found "geeking out" over things like search, Matt can often become quite excitable when finding new features and technologies.

Matt has two key principals, Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) and Keep It Out-of-the-Box (KIOB). These principles drive all of the solutions which Matt has designed and developed, however, being a .NET developer by background, he does love getting his hands dirty with code if needed.

In February 2020, Matt was awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for Business Apps.
