New Year, New Bot - Give Your Bot an Agentic Brain
Build an agentic AI experience with the GitHub Copilot SDK, integrating the agent with the .NET and Aspire backend and the M5Stack StackChan. Explore agent behaviors and tool use, then connect the software to the robot so it can respond through its display and movements. This session demonstrates how an SDK-driven agent can power a physical AI companion. 🔗 Learn more by exploring the resources: https://aka.ms/newyearnewbot https://aka.ms/GitHubCopilotSDKdocumentation https://aka.ms/M5StackStackChanfirmwaredevelopersetup https://aka.ms/M5StackStackChanproductinformation https://aka.ms/dotNETAspiredocumentation 📌 This event is part of a series.

New Year, New Bot - Build Its AI Brain with .NET and Aspire
Build the bot's AI brain with a .NET backend orchestrated through .NET Aspire. Connect the backend to the StackChan from Episode 1, add the services and observability needed for local development, and create an end-to-end interaction that makes the physical desk robot responsive. This session shows how Aspire helps developers build and run the pieces of a connected AI companion. 🔗 Learn more by exploring the resources: https://aka.ms/newyearnewbot https://aka.ms/M5StackStackChanfirmwaredevelopersetup https://aka.ms/M5StackStackChanproductinformation https://aka.ms/dotNETAspiredocumentation 📌 This event is part of a series.

New Year, New Bot - Bring Your AI Desk Robot to Life
Meet the M5Stack StackChan as a physical AI desk robot. Program its expressions and movements, connect it to a .NET backend and dashboard, and create a first end-to-end interaction. This hands-on session shows how hardware and .NET services can work together to bring a real desk companion to life. 🔗 Learn more by exploring the resources: https://aka.ms/newyearnewbot https://aka.ms/M5StackStackChanfirmwaredevelopersetup https://aka.ms/M5StackStackChanproductinformation https://aka.ms/dotNETAspiredocumentation 📌 This event is part of a series.

CQRS with MediatR, Revisited for .NET 10
A 2024 guide to CQRS with MediatR, rebuilt from scratch on .NET 10 instead of patched in place: what MediatR 14's license actually requires in practice, minimal API endpoints and IExceptionHandler replacing the original's placeholder exception behavior, SQLite in memory replacing a mocked DbContext in tests, the Native AOT limitations of reflection-based handler discovery, and a source-generated alternative that sidesteps the license question entirely.

Blazor Community Standup: Free Syncfusion Toolkit for Blazor
Join us with the Syncfusion team to explore the free and open-source Syncfusion Toolkit for Blazor. We’ll see the components in action and show how you can use them to build your own Blazor apps. 🔗 Links: https://www.theurlist.com/blazor-standup-20261029 🎙️ Featuring: Daniel Roth, Shriram Sankaran #dotnet #aspnetcore #blazor
.NET Data Community Standup: Teach your AI agent database design with T-SQL static code analysis
Erik will show two ways you can take advantage of the open-source set of T-SQL static analysis rules, and the surrounding set of tools, that he maintains. First, you can get live code analysis of your SQL scripts as you type them in VS Code, Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio. Secondly, in companionship with EF Core Power Tools, you can build your database model (and EF Core model) with AI and guide it by enforcing the more than 140 rules in the package. 🎙️ Featuring: Jiri Cincura, Erik Ejlskov Jensen #net #data #efcore #tsql #vs #vscode #ssms
.NET AI Community Standup: Data Ingestion with .NET
Building AI applications with .NET takes more than connecting a model. It takes making your data useful. Join this AI Community Standup to explore how .NET’s building blocks for AI (Microsoft.Extensions.AI), data ingestion (Microsoft.Extensions.DataIngestion), and vector data (Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData) come together to solve that challenge. Discover how data ingestion, embeddings, and vector search support context engineering, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), to help you build practical AI applications grounded in your own documents and business data. 🔗 Links: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/ng62sjt1k4jjep 🎙️ Featuring: Bruno Capuano (@elbruno), Luis Quintanilla #AI #DataIngestion #DotNet
How to Keep Your Architecture Diagrams Accurate
🩵 Check out our sponsor, IcePanel. Create your free account here: https://icepanel.io/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=gui Your architecture diagram was true the day you drew it. Then the code kept moving. With a coding agent writing features in minutes, it now moves faster than anyone updates the diagram. In this video I show how I keep the diagrams in line with the code. Fetch is the app I use every day to publish from Notion to X, LinkedIn and Instagram. I generate the C4 diagrams (levels 1 to 3) straight from the repo with IcePanel's skill. I connect the IcePanel MCP server at project scope, so it lands in .mcp.json and everyone on the team gets it. One line in CLAUDE.md tells the agent to go there for high-level questions about the system. Then I compare three places to keep the diagrams fresh: CLAUDE.md, a hook, and the pipeline. The short version: put the refresh where it runs every time, not where someone has to remember it. For a team, that's the merge into main.
