From Hell to Heaven: Porting Doom to MAUI
English session - Beginner
Ever wondered how far we can push MAUI? How about porting Doom into a .NET cross-plaform version?
It all started with: "hey I'm porting Doom to C#, want to have a go at getting it to run on MAUI?".
Couple of months later and Doom was running on my phone as a fully playable game!
In this session I'll explain the limits I've run into, the workarounds, and how much code we can share between the WPF and MAUI versions of Doom.
Secret management in .NET
English session - Beginner

In this session I will show the different approaches provided by .NET. We will take a look at options for your own machine, team shared or cloud-based.
Let's put an end to secrets in source control!
