Speaker & Talk

LIGHTNING TALKS

We are doing something a little different for our March 2025 meetup: Lightning Talks⚡⚡⚡!

### Roslyn-Powered Standards: Automate Team Conventions

Speaker: Peter Hellmuth, Solution Support Engineer at 3E

Learn how to design custom Roslyn analyzers to enforce your team’s coding standards, transforming red squiggles into proactive code reviews that begin before you even commit. Develop quick fixes that allow developers to resolve violations with a single click, improving efficiency and consistency. For non-negotiable rules, integrate analyzers into your CI/CD pipeline to catch issues early and enforce standards before code merges.

Level: Introductory and overview
Topics: C#, Continuous Delivery, Tooling, Patterns & Best Practices

### Semantic Search

Speaker: Travis Plummer, Developer at SmartDraw

Looking to show how we can enhance everyday search with Natural Language Processing.

Level: Intermediate
Topics: C#, Architecture

### Supercharge Your .NET Testing with NCrunch

Speaker: Tony Cardella, Software Engineer / Software Engineering Capability Lead at BJSS

Tired of waiting for tests to run? NCrunch is a powerful continuous testing tool for .NET that runs your tests in the background, providing instant feedback, real-time code coverage, and parallel execution to speed up development. In this lightning talk, we’ll explore how NCrunch works, highlight its key features, and see it in action with a quick demo.

Level: Introductory and overview
Topics: C#, Testing, Tooling

We'll update this with our roster of speakers as we confirm them.
