  • It's that time of year when we eagerly anticipate selection boxes appearing on supermarket shelves and under Christmas trees across the land. But what if, instead of delicious chocolates, those thin plastic trays were filled with productivity-enhancing AI tools? Well, that would be disappointing, of course. Who in their right mind prefers software tools over chocolate? However, I'm told we're not here to eat chocolate; we should really be doing stuff with Python, and so...

    In this talk, we'll explore a selection of AI tools that have significantly impacted my work. We'll examine various chatbots, LLMs, integrations with existing apps, and fully AI-based applications. We'll discuss how these tools harness AI to boost productivity, creativity, and problem-solving.

    I'll share personal experiences, demonstrate how I work with these tools, and consider how these AI assistants are shaping our work. Together, we'll sort the Double Deckers from the Fudges... metaphorically speaking, of c...

    👩‍🏫 Container-based development for C# developers

    Containerization has taken the world of software development and application operation by storm in recent years. And the basics of "somehow" doing containerization are also easy and quick to learn and implement. But what are the pitfalls, how do you really get your own container images ready for production and can I actually develop directly in containers? This session answers all these questions using practical examples with a focus on C# / .NET

    👉 Evil Tech: How Devs Became Villains
    Once upon a time, developers were the unsung heroes of our world. The stereotypical developer, with glasses perched on the nose and an innate talent for science, even inspired the alter egos of superheroes.

    However, today, software engineers often find themselves under scrutiny for their roles in creating data-gathering apps, facial recognition software in CCTV systems, and the constant tracking of citizens through GPS, among other issues.

    From being heroes to becoming modern-day Dr. Frankensteins, tech creators face an unenviable dilemma: to embrace malevolence or strive for heroism.

    During this talk, we will delve deep into th...
