Goh Chun Lin

In this talk, we will explore how to migrate legacy .NET projects, such as O2DES.NET, which are still targeting at .NET Standard 2.1 to modern frameworks, focusing on the importance of code quality and maintainability.

In 2019, I had the honour of working closely with the team behind the open-source O2DES.NET during my time working at the C4NGP research center in National University of Singapore. After I left the team in 2022, O2DES.NET has not been actively updated on their GitHub public repository and it is still targeting at .NET Standard 2.1.

Through the example of updating O2DES.NET, we will demonstrate how static analysis tools like NDepend can help assess technical debt, visualise code dependencies, and guide us on code refactoring with the coding rules.

Whether you are preparing for .NET 9 or optimising for current .NET versions, you will gain insights on how to future-proof your code for upcoming platform updates.

在本次演讲中，我们将探讨如何将仍面向 .NET Standard 2.1 的旧版 .NET 项目（如 O2DES.NET）迁移到现代框架，重点关注代码质量和可维护性的重要性。

2019 年，我有幸在新加坡国立大学 C4NGP 研究中心工作期间与开源 O2DES.NET 背后的团队密切合作。在我 2022 年离开团队后，O2DES.NET 尚未在其 GitHub 公共存储库上积极更新，它仍然面向 .NET Standard 2.1。

通过更新 O2DES.NET 的示例，我们将演示像 NDepend 这样的静态分析工具如何帮助评估技术债务，可视化代码依赖关系，并指导我们使用编码规则重构代码。

无论您是在准备 .NET 9 还是针对当前的 .NET 版本进行优化，您都将深入了解如何为即将到来的平台更新提供面向未来的代码。

2024-11-14 14:00 -- 14:30

Saeed Esmaeelinejad

This talk will address a common yet critical issue faced by developers using EF Core (including EF Core 9.0) to read large datasets asynchronously. Despite the promise of scalability with async programming, many encounter performance degradation, timeouts, or incomplete data reads when using methods like ToListAsync and FirstOrDefaultAsync in EF Core.

We'll examine the underlying SqlClient library and its internal class, TdsParserStateObject, to understand how it handles asynchronous operations and why it struggles with large data reads. Attendees will gain insights into EF Core's async behavior, potential workarounds, and strategies to optimize performance when working with large datasets.

本次演讲将解决开发人员使用 EF Core（包括 EF Core 9.0）异步读取大型数据集时面临的一个常见但关键的问题。尽管异步编程有望实现可伸缩性，但在 EF Core 中使用 ToListAsync 和 FirstOrDefaultAsync 等方法时，许多人会遇到性能下降、超时或数据读取不完整的情况。

我们将研究底层的 SqlClient 库及其内部类 TdsParserStateObject，以了解它如何处理异步操作以及为什么它在处理大数据读取时遇到困难。与会者将深入了解 EF Core 的异步行为、可能的解决方法和策略，以便在使用大型数据集时优化性能。

With .NET and AI, our community app "aspires" to be on cloud nine

2024-11-14 14:30 -- 15:00

Augustine Correa

We are the largest Open-Source Software [OSS] community with its longest running (> 10 years) tech meetup in Bombay.

And as such we are mostly houseful [ https://x.com/search?q=learnAspireMumbai&src=typed_query&f=live]. As a community that is committed to diversity and inclusiveness, most of our efforts and time is expended on registration triaging. And the next biggest friction in our meetup management is to ensure attendee check-ins and check-outs for building/civic code adherence

So as a tech community, to solve this, we did the only thing we love to do: build an app. That too on .NET 9. We will tell you why .net9 is the best .NET yet and share what are the gotchas we had to look out for.

In this session, we will explore the development of our community app using the latest features of .NET 9: Aspire, Semantic Kernel, Blazor Hybrid. This app leverages the power of .NET 9 to create a cloud-native, and intelligent platform that enhances user engagement and community interaction. We will delve into the integration of AI models to provide personalized experiences and improve overall functionality to building an inclusive and diverse community

Also, our demo would include how GitHub Copilot and Copilot Workspace turbo charged our development to debut the app in time for .NET Conf 2024.

And we wouldn't be an OSS community, if it's not on GitHub [https://github.com/HackerspaceMumbai/Visage/tree/dotnet9]. Contributors welcome 🙏

我们是最大的开源软件 [OSS] 社区，在孟买举办时间最长（> 10 年）的技术聚会。

因此，我们大部分时间都是无家可归的 [ https://x.com/search?q=learnAspireMumbai&src=typed_query&f=live]。作为一个致力于多元化和包容性的社区，我们的大部分精力和时间都花在了注册分类上。我们聚会管理中的下一个最大摩擦是确保与会者签到和签到以遵守建筑/公民法规

因此，作为一个技术社区，为了解决这个问题，我们做了我们唯一喜欢做的事情：构建一个应用程序。在 .NET 9 上也是如此。我们将告诉您为什么 .net9 是迄今为止最好的 .NET，并分享我们必须注意的问题。

在本次会议中，我们将探索如何使用 .NET 9 的最新功能开发我们的社区应用程序：Aspire、Semantic Kernel、Blazor Hybrid。此应用程序利用 .NET 9 的强大功能来创建一个云原生智能平台，以增强用户参与度和社区互动。我们将深入研究 AI 模型的集成，以提供个性化的体验并改进整体功能，以构建一个包容和多元化的社区

此外，我们的演示还将包括 GitHub Copilot 和 Copilot Workspace 如何加速我们的开发，以便在 .NET Conf 2024 上及时推出该应用程序。

如果不在 GitHub 上 [https://github.com/HackerspaceMumbai/Visage/tree/dotnet9] ，我们就不会成为一个 OSS 社区。欢迎🙏贡献者

From error to fixes:Adding recoverability to MassTransit - based systems

2024-11-14 15:30 -- 16:00

Irina Dominte(Scurtu)

In distributed systems, failures and errors are inevitable. Often, even after several automatic retries, messages can't be processed and end up in error queues. What then?

You will require some message broker knowledge to reprocess them, and manually extract them from the queues, but these are some reasons you use an abstraction like MassTransit. To not need that.

This session uses Aspire and ServiceControl to provide a practical approach to seamlessly adding replayability to MassTransit-based systems.

在分布式系统中，故障和错误是不可避免的。通常，即使经过多次自动重试，消息也无法处理，最终进入错误队列。那又如何呢？

您将需要一些消息代理知识来重新处理它们，并从队列中手动提取它们，但这些是您使用像 MassTransit 这样的抽象的一些原因。不需要那个。

本次会议使用 Aspire 和 ServiceControl 提供一种实用的方法，将 可重玩性 无缝添加到基于 MassTransit 的系统中。

C# Source Generators Boost Productivity in the Rx.NET Repo

2024-11-14 17:00 -- 17:30

Ian Griffiths

Code generation has become increasingly important in recent versions of .NET, especially when using AOT compilation. But they can also play a role in boosting your power as a developer.

This talk will show how we've been using source generators to extend the reach of the test suite in the Reactive Extensions for .NET. AsyncRx.NET was an experimental project with no tests, but source generators have made it possible to make the existing Rx.NET test suite work in this new project.

在最新版本的 .NET 中，代码生成变得越来越重要，尤其是在使用 AOT 编译时。但它们也可以在提升您作为开发人员的能力方面发挥作用。

本次演讲将展示我们如何使用 Source Generator 来扩展 Reactive Extensions for .NET 中测试套件的覆盖范围。AsyncRx.NET 是一个没有测试的实验项目，但源生成器使现有的 Rx.NET 测试套件在这个新项目中工作成为可能。

Advanced Pattern Matching in C#

2024-11-14 17:30 -- 18:00

Oliver Sturm

All "real" functional languages support Pattern Matching - that's not really true, but it is correct that aspects of a functional programming style benefit from elegant and syntactically compact case distinction. Microsoft worked on Pattern Matching as a C# feature in at least three major language versions! In this talk, Oliver demonstrates how C# Pattern Matching works, why this evolution of the old imperative "switch" is so important, and how the structure of C# Code can be generally different from the past on the basis of this feature. As a conclusion, he proves that C# can now pattern match with the best, by porting a complex piece of Haskell code.

所有 “真正的” 函数式语言都支持 Pattern Matching - 这并不是真的，但函数式编程风格的各个方面受益于优雅且语法紧凑的大小写区分是正确的。Microsoft 在至少三个主要语言版本中将模式匹配作为 C# 功能进行开发！在本次演讲中，Oliver 演示了 C# 模式匹配的工作原理，为什么旧的命令式“开关”的演变如此重要，以及基于此功能的 C# 代码结构通常如何与过去不同。总而言之，他证明了 C# 现在可以通过移植一段复杂的 Haskell 代码来与最好的代码进行模式匹配。

Bulletproof ASP.NET Core APIs: The OWASP API Security Top Ten

2024-11-14 18:00 -- 18:30

Christian Wenz

The OWASP Top Ten as a list of the ten biggest security risks for web applications has been a de facto standard for over ten years. Somewhat out of the limelight, however, there are other lists. The OWASP API Security Top Ten highlights risks for APIs. Since arguably almost every web application relies on APIs these days, it's imperative that we address them. In the talk, we'll take a look at how the list came about and then go through all the points. In particular, we are of course interested in what this means for our chosen stack ASP.NET Core. Which points are relevant, and how can we take technology-specific countermeasures?

OWASP Top Ten 作为 Web 应用程序的十大安全风险列表，十多年来一直是事实上的标准。然而，在某种程度上，还有其他列表。OWASP API 安全十大突出了 API 面临的风险。由于可以说现在几乎每个 Web 应用程序都依赖于 API，因此我们必须解决它们。在演讲中，我们将了解该列表是如何产生的，然后介绍所有要点。特别是，我们当然对这对我们选择的 ASP.NET Core 堆栈意味着什么感兴趣。哪些点是相关的，我们如何采取特定于技术的对策？

Accessibility as a concept

2024-11-14 18:30 -- 19:00

Jemima Abu

Knowing how to build accessible products is important but it's just as important to know why we build products to be accessible. Basic human decency aside, there's a plethora of reasons for building products that everyone can use. In this talk, we'll explore the concept of accessibility in order to better understand its necessity and the ramifications involved in building non accessible products. We'll also answer pressing questions like "How do I know if this thing I built is accessible?" and "Whose job is it to ensure accessibility?" (Spoiler: it's everyone's job)

知道如何构建无障碍产品很重要，但了解我们为什么构建无障碍产品也同样重要。撇开基本的人类尊严不谈，构建每个人都可以使用的产品有很多理由。在本次演讲中，我们将探讨辅助功能的概念，以便更好地理解其必要性以及构建非辅助功能产品所涉及的后果。我们还将回答一些紧迫的问题，例如“我怎么知道我构建的这个东西是否无障碍”和“谁的工作是确保无障碍？（剧透：这是每个人的工作）

Talking to managers about modernizing .NET apps

2024-11-14 21:00 -- 21:30

Tomas Herceg

Most developers understand the benefits of migrating legacy apps to the new .NET and the risks of not doing so. Sadly, it is usually not the developers who decide whether these old .NET Framework applications will be modernized or not. How do you convince the management to allocate the budget for this task? What arguments and information should you present to stakeholders who do not have a technical background to ensure they understand the situation? In this session, I'll provide valuable tips and arguments I used in the past to advocate the necessity of modernization in various companies. I'll talk about estimating the effort of modernization and the long-term maintenance costs. I'll also go through the security risks and other benefits of the upgrade, such as improving the project's attractiveness for hiring new developers.

大多数开发人员都了解将旧应用程序迁移到新 .NET 的好处，以及不这样做的风险。遗憾的是，通常不是开发人员决定这些旧的 .NET Framework 应用程序是否要现代化。您如何说服管理层为这项任务分配预算？您应该向没有技术背景的利益相关者提供哪些论点和信息，以确保他们了解情况？在本次会议中，我将提供我过去使用的宝贵提示和论点，以倡导各种公司现代化的必要性。我将讨论如何估算现代化的工作量和长期维护成本。我还将介绍升级的安全风险和其他好处，例如提高项目对雇用新开发人员的吸引力。
