Why you should visit the DDC
“The .NET Developer Conference provides .NET developers with first-hand knowledge.”
A comment by Fernando Schneider, editor-in-chief of dotnetpro and DDC conference chair
In the commentary on DDC 2023, one of the things mentioned was that .NET is continuing to expand. In my opinion, this statement is still valid. What’s more, the .NET universe is constantly changing. Whether it’s the end of support for .NET 7, the further development of .NET Core or new developments around AI or a new framework for event handling – Microsoft has a lot to offer developers so that they can ultimately develop state-of-the-art .NET applications and solutions.
Using these developments correctly requires a solid evaluation. It is often not possible to do this in day-to-day work. This is where the DDC comes in, where experienced experts pass on their knowledge and experience of new technologies and tools to you. But what is even more important: you can exchange experiences with the speakers and participants at any time and benefit from them.
These discussions are what make the DDC so valuable. And it is precisely this exchange between and with all of you that I am looking forward to. So with this in mind, see you soon. At the end of November, in Cologne.
