See all- First Spring Meetup - .NET Apps Everywhere, at 5x the speedMicrosoft Canadian Headquarters (Suite 4400), Toronto, ON
Hosted in partnership with .NET Forever. If RSVP limit is reached here please use this: https://www.meetup.com/toronto-dotnet-forever/
This is also our first meetup in 2024. Lets all meet at the Microsoft office where we'll have two talks. First one will be:
Speaker: Steve Bilogan
> .NET Apps Everywhere, at 5x the speed
> Developing cross-platform applications is complex. Some frameworks allow us to share the business logic and some go further and allow us to share the UI layer. But even then – working with device hardware requires developers familiar with each target platform to maintain it and can still lead to error-prone platform-specific code.
> What if you could write it all in either C# or XAML, from any dev environment, deploy to any platform, at 5x the speed, and have it all pixel-perfect without any lock-in? Enter Uno Platform, an open-source project enabling amazing dev productivity for building Windows, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, and WebAssembly apps!

Speaker: Lex Li
> Breaking Down Barriers with Windows 11 ARM64 and .NET 8
> In an ever-evolving technological landscape, understanding the tools and platforms at our disposal is crucial. In this talk, we will delve into the intriguing world of Windows 11 ARM64, exploring its differences from the x64 variant and understanding the unique benefits it brings to the table.
> We begin by uncovering the fundamentals of ARM64 architecture and discussing how it underpins the operation of various devices, including those running Windows 11. By taking a closer look at Windows 11 ARM64, we unravel how it stands out from its x64 sibling, especially in terms of efficiency and performance on ARM-based devices.
> The journey doesn't stop there. We also probe into the profound capabilities of .NET 8 as a versatile toolset for developers. .NET 8 equips developers with the resources necessary to write applications specifically designed for Windows 11 ARM64, ushering in a new era of efficient and optimized computing. We'll explore how these latest iterations of .NET simplify the development process, enabling smoother, more powerful applications on the novel Windows platform.
Join us as we traverse the fascinating path of Windows 11 ARM64 and .NET 8. Whether you're a developer keen on expanding your skill set or a tech enthusiast eager to grasp the latest trends, this talk will provide valuable insights and spark thought-provoking discussions.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
