👉 .NET nanoFramework on a Cheap Yellow Display
Working with software can feel a bit detached, everything is virtual and abstracted from reality. I want something physical that can be held and touched. And of course it had to run dotNet.
So this is my journey combining an ESP32 based microcontroller and display with the dotNet nanoFramework. Learn about the gotchas of with working with new hardware, how nanoFramework is deployed and how to interact with some of the hardware on this device.

👉 Ulysses versus The Very Hungry Caterpillar with Andy Carter
As AI becomes more prevalent in our industry, it's more important than ever to recognise the value of true craftsmanship. In this talk, we'll draw insights from two literary classics to explore why writing clean, thoughtful code still matters.
