"Funky Azure Functions with .NET 5 and 6"

Let's dive into the latest features of Azure Functions - the serverless compute offering for Azure. After a quick recap of what Azure Functions are and what problems they can solve, we'll find out how Functions can now run .NET 5 (and .NET 6 in preview) and cover:
• What works better?
• What works differently (aka breaking changes)?
• Why might you choose to stick with .NET Core 3.1?
• What can you do in Visual Studio versus the CLI?
• How can you add OpenAPI/Swagger support?
• How would you automate the deployment with GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines?

"F# for web developers"

Did you know you can compile F# to JavaScript to make SPA that are succinct, performant and robust? Don't believe me? Well, let's take a look at how you can use F# in the browser and on the server to create a web application that has end-to-end type safety, reducing your bugs, results in cleaner code being written and is just a joy to write.

About Aaron:
Aaron is a Developer Advocate at Microsoft. Having spent 15 years doing web development he’s seen it all, from browser wars, the rise of AJAX and the fall of 20 JavaScript frameworks (and that was just yesterday!). Always tinkering with something new he explores crazy ideas like writing your own implementation of numbers in .NET, creating IoC in JavaScript or implementing tic-tac-toe using git commits. When not sitting at a computer he can be found running while pushing his two kids in a pram.
