Talk .NET with .NET Team: May 2026 Edition

Spring is in full swing, summer is just around the corner, and that means it's time for another Talk .NET with .NET Team! 🚀🌷☀️
Join us for another evening of practical engineering insights, fresh .NET developments, and conversations with fellow developers. This time we'll explore the future of .NET MAUI. Uncover why Process APIs can still surprise you. And peek at the AI infrastructure powering the dotnet/skills marketplace.
As always, expect hands-on technical content, and lot of networking in a room full of fellow engineers. Who, like you, enjoy learning, sharing knowledge, and building great software.
We can't wait to see you there!

TALK DETAILS:
🟣 Less Noise, More Magic: What's New in .NET MAUI 10 and Beyond with Kirill Ovchinnikov (Microsoft)
Join a member of the team behind MAUI and XAML tooling in Visual Studio and VS Code for a look at the latest improvements coming to .NET MAUI. Discover how .NET 10 and the road to .NET 11 simplify cross-platform development with cleaner XAML, new language capabilities, Linux support, and even local AI experiences running directly on mobile devices.

🟢 Your Process Code Hangs. Here's Why (and How .NET 11 Fixes It) with Youssef Fahmy (Microsoft)
Working with Process APIs often seems straightforward - until your application unexpectedly hangs. Youssef will break down one of the most common deadlock scenarios, explain why older APIs are difficult to use correctly, and introduce the modern .NET 11 alternatives. You'll leave with practical patterns, best practices, and a checklist to avoid painful debugging sessions.

🔵 Introduction to dotnet/skills and infra behind it with Jan Krivanek (Microsoft)
Discover dotnet/skills, the marketplace for coding-agent extensions and plugins. Learn how skills and agents work, explore notable examples from the ecosystem, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the AI infrastructure, evaluation systems, and engineering challenges that power the platform.

Our meetup wouldn’t be complete without him - once again, the evening will be moderated by the amazing Jakub Jares (Microsoft)!
