👉 .NET Interactive
Do you like Jupyter notebooks or VSCode notebooks or just want a way to rapidly visualise or test the output of your code? In this session we will introduce .NET Interactive and some of the experience it can power like Jupyter and VScode Notebooks. Commonly adopted in data science interactive programming is a great technique for code and data exploration. Rapid iterations and rich visualisation are powerful components that can power a lot more workloads than data science and machine learning. We will explore some of the core pillars of .NET Interactive and its feature set. We will also see some examples of how C#, F#, Powershell, Javascript, HTML, and SQL can support your work and troubleshooting needs.

👨‍💻Diego Colombo
Diego Colombo, Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft
Senior Software Developer for Microsoft Dev Div, have spent most of my life building tools and frameworks for a wide set of industries: robotics, video games, finance and developer tools.
Creating next generation tools to enable developers and researcher to achieve their goals is my drive and passion.
I have contributed to the Microsoft Xna framework, Microsoft Robotics Studio, .Net interactive and other initiatives.
My Academic background is rooted in Robotics and Realtime graphics, with a PhD on Realtime metaprogramming.
I am currently working in the .NET Interactive + F# + Try .NET team.
The .Net is vast and infinite, will tame it with polyglot interactive experiences.

Computing for the Soul: positive personal stories about technology

Hello, and welcome back! This will be a one-off event for the Sheffield Tech Community to meet in-person and share the experiences that helped us through the last 18 months.

We're looking for talks on any technology or practice that held your interest, improved your life, or brought your community together. Don't worry about solving the world's problems - this is about your own experience and looking at technology through an optimistic lens.

The format will be unconference-style: you will decide the agenda. If you'd like to present something, please prepare a 10-20 minute talk - slides optional - and we'll post these on a board at the beginning of the event. You're also very welcome to just attend and listen.

The topic is broad to make it easy to participate, but if you're unsure about your talk, I'm happy to discuss your idea before the event. Fear not, if it comes from your own experience and has a positive spin then it's on-topic!

Afterwards, you are welcome to join your fellow attendees in a trip to a nearby pub.

I've intentionally chosen an optimistic date based on feedback from potential attendees. Clearly, if circumstances change substantially, I may have to cancel or postpone it. I'll give you as much notice as possible if that's the case, and it will not change to a virtual event.

I look forward to seeing you!

👉 Reaqtor: Reliable Rx at Scale for High-performance Event Processing
The Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) is one of the most influential technologies to have emerged from the .NET ecosystem. (Its influence on other platforms has been so pervasive that its origins in .NET are sometimes forgotten.) The team that created Rx did not rest on their laurels: they used Rx as the basis for developing a distributed, reliable, and extremely scalable event processing service. Reactor, as it was then called, has been integral to some of Microsoft's most widely used services for many years, but although Microsoft has talked in public about it a few times, it has never been available for use outside of Microsoft—until now. On May 18th 2021, Bart de Smet, made Reaqtor (its new name) open source, as a .NET-Foundation-sponsored project.

This talk will explain what makes Reaqtor different from other high-scale event processing systems. It will also show some of the foundational components that have been released as part of this, most notably 'Bonsai', a mechanism for serializing computations based on .NET's expression tree system, and which is central to how Reaqtor works.

👨‍💻Carmel Eve
Carmel is a software engineer, LinkedIn Learning instructor and STEM ambassador.

Over the past four years she has been focused on delivering cloud-first solutions to a variety of problems. These have ranged from highly-performant serverless architectures, to web applications, to reporting and insight pipelines and data analytics engines.

In her time at endjin, she has written many blog posts covering a huge range of topics, including deconstructing Rx operators and mental well-being and managing remote working.

Carmel's first LinkedIn Learning course on how to prepare for the Az-204 exam - developing solutions for Microsoft Azure - is due for release next month. And over the last couple of years she has also spoken at NDC, APISpecs and SQLBits. These talks covered a range of topics, from reactive big-data processing to secure Azure architectures.

She is also passionate about diversity and inclusivity in tech. She is a STEM ambassador in her local community and is taking part in a local mentorship scheme. Through this work she hopes to be a part of positive change in the industry.

Carmel won "Apprentice Engineer of the Year" at the Computing Rising Star Awards 2019.

Startup Meetup Sheffield - July 2021

Startup meetup Sheffield is the place to be if you are a founder, investor or involved with startup in any other way!

About this event

Startup meetup Sheffield is an event celebrating entrepreneurship in the Steel City and cutting the ties between the different stakeholders involved with our startup ecosystem.

Having organised a very successful meetup in June for the first time since the pandemic, it is time to turn the meetup into a recurring monthly event as it was requested by a lot of the attendees on the previous one.

As the country will definitely open this time, we will host the event at Sheffield Technology Parks, one of the integral parts of Sheffield's startup ecosystem.

Agenda: TBD

If you are a founder, investor, if you work for a company related to startups or if you are just a startup enthusiast and want to meet like-minded people, this meetup is for you!

Please secure a free ticket as this is a way for us to control the number of attendees and ensure the safety of everyone. You will be advised whether to wear a mask or not depending on Sheffield Technology Parks' policy, but in any case please bring one!

We can't wait to meet you!

👉 .NET Interactive
Do you like Jupyter notebooks or VSCode notebooks or just want a way to rapidly visualise or test the output of your code? In this session we will introduce .NET Interactive and some of the experience it can power like Jupyter and VScode Notebooks. Commonly adopted in data science interactive programming is a great technique for code and data exploration. Rapid iterations and rich visualisation are powerful components that can power a lot more workloads than data science and machine learning. We will explore some of the core pillars of .NET Interactive and its feature set. We will also see some examples of how C#, F#, Powershell, Javascript, HTML, and SQL can support your work and troubleshooting needs.

- 👨‍🏫 The Reactive Extensions
- 🍻 Virtual Bar

👉 Reaqtor: Reliable Rx at Scale for High-performance Event Processing
The Reactive Extensions for .NET (Rx) is one of the most influential technologies to have emerged from the .NET ecosystem. (Its influence on other platforms has been so pervasive that its origins in .NET are sometimes forgotten.) The team that created Rx did not rest on their laurels: they used Rx as the basis for developing a distributed, reliable, and extremely scalable event processing service. Reactor, as it was then called, has been integral to some of Microsoft's most widely used services for many years, but although Microsoft has talked in public about it a few times, it has never been available for use outside of Microsoft—until now. On May 18th 2021, Bart de Smet, made Reaqtor (its new name) open source, as a .NET-Foundation-sponsored project.

This talk will explain what makes Reaqtor different from other high-scale event processing systems. It will also show some of the foundational components that have been released as part of this, most notably 'Bonsai', a mechanism for serializing computations based on .NET's expression tree system, and which is central to how Reaqtor works.
