Epispde Topics

Our episode topics covered a wide range of themes that matter most to .NET developers, from database technologies like RavenDB to learning .NET, IoT, HATEOAS, tools like C# Dev Kit for VS Code, LinqPad, EF Power Tools, .NET MAUI & Uno Platform, orchestration, and cybersecurity. We also dived into deep topics like generative AI, CQRS, resilient programming, working in open source, and creating and maintaining NuGet packages.

As we look ahead to 2025, we're excited to continue our mission of providing an audio toolbox for developers who use modern .NET. Our focus will remain on empowering .NET developers with the knowledge and best practices they need to build exceptional applications.

The ten-word description of The Modern .NET Show is "An audio toolbox for developers who use modern .NET"

Looking to 2025

In the first few episodes of 2025, we'll be diving deep into two critical areas:

1. Generative AI: We believe that generative AI has the potential to revolutionise the way we work and create. In our upcoming episodes, we'll explore its applications, challenges, and implications for .NET developers.
2. Application Security: As developers, it's essential that we prioritise application security above all else. We'll be sharing insights on how to build secure applications using modern .NET frameworks and libraries.

Of course, these topics will only scratch the surface of what we have in store for 2025. Other exciting areas of focus include:

• Clean Architecture
• Infrastructure as Code
• DataAPI
• Semantic kernel
• NET Aspire

We're already seeing a plethora of exciting developments on the horizon, and we can't wait to share them with you!

Thank You!

Before we wrap up this year's recap, we want to express our heartfelt thanks again for your continued support. Your loyalty means everything to us, and we're honoured to be part of your journey as .NET developers.

Here's to an incredible 2025! Let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible with modern .NET!

Stay tuned for more exciting episodes in 2025!
