There's a Library for That - Duane & Brent

There's a Library for That

Why reinvent the wheel when there’s a library for that? The C# ecosystem is rich with powerful third-party libraries that can save you time, reduce complexity, and supercharge your development. In this session, we’ll explore some of the most popular and useful libraries for tasks like JSON serialization, dependency injection, logging, and more. Learn how to integrate these libraries effectively, avoid common pitfalls, and make the most of community-driven tools to write cleaner, more maintainable, and efficient code. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, this talk will introduce you to must-have libraries that belong in every .NET developer’s toolkit!
