Chris Sims - Practical AI-Assisted .NET Development with Claude Code CLI

This session focuses on practically applying AI to accelerate your .NET coding workflow using Claude Code CLI—a powerful, terminal-based AI coding assistant. We'll begin by covering the essentials of configuring Claude Code in a Windows environment with WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), ensuring seamless integration with your existing .NET projects and IDE.

Participants will see hands-on, real-world examples demonstrating how Claude can streamline feature development, expedite debugging, and automatically generate effective test cases—all directly from the command line. The talk will also highlight specific configurations and Model Context Protocol (MCP) plugins particularly beneficial for .NET developers, including those for accessing documentation, managing dependencies, and interacting with external tools and APIs.

Attendees will leave with practical knowledge and actionable tips for integrating Claude Code CLI into their regular .NET development workflow.
