Creating APIs on Steroids with gRPC

English session - Beginner

What's that in the sky? Is it a plane? Is it WCF? No it's better. It's gRPC that's now natively supported in ASP.NET Core. It's more efficient than any API technique you've ever used and it's is way, way faster. That makes it very suitable for communication between microservices.
In this session I'm talking about what gRPC is but also how you can implement it right away in any ASP.NET Core application.

Should You React?

English session - Beginner

The React JavaScript library's popularity is skyrocketing. But should you dive into yet another library? Well.. your front-end developing fun could level up because for me React is the most productive JavaScript library ever.
We're going to take the practical path. I'll show you how to build a React app step by step. In that way I'm covering all you need to know to get started. At the end of the session you'll be the judge if you should React.
