The History of .NET with Richard Campbell
You can learn a lot from history because there's a lot to be
learned from walking down the roads of your forebearers.
In 2017, .NET turned 15 years old. That's an impressive survival
time, given how fast the technology turnover can be in our
industry.
It was an anniversary that is close to my heart, as .NET is the
platform for most of the industry events that I have been
involved with, and it is at those events that I met many of my
closest friends. I became a Microsoft Regional Director around
the time of the birth of .NET, so many of my colleagues probably
feel very similar.
Unbelievably, I met Richard Campbell before he was a Regional
Director, before he was co-host of .NET Rocks, the internet
audio talk show for .NET Developers (or "podcast" as they're now
known), and before .NET.
Today, of all those aforementioned things, Richard Campbell is
most well known as the co-host of .NET Rocks with our friend
Carl Franklin.
Richard was in Australia recently for the NDC Sydney conference,
and while he was here, he gave an awesome presentation at the
Sydney .NET User Group on The History of .NET.
SSW TV makes heaps of great videos, but I was especially glad we
were there to record this one. This is partly because I was on
the ground for many of the meetings Richard mentions, but also
because I'm a big believer that you can't understand where
you're going unless you know where you've been. I think this
presentation should be mandatory watching for all .NET
developers.

bonus Ask Me Anything with him and Adam.

Sydney .NET user group: From UX to CX: a deep dive
into improving the Customer Experience – and a hello
to Zendesk! - presented by Adam Cogan
Customers want more than a good UI. They expect a
good user experience but now the focus is on giving
the customer a great 'Customer Experience'.
Companies like AirBnB, Uber and ServiceNSW have set a
new expectation for customer service. Adam will look
at how techniques such as Live Chat, Continued Flow,
Ticket Deflection and support embedded in the mobile
app can increase customer satisfaction.
We will then talk about the zero touch goal and more
from Amazon's 14 leadership principals.
Finally we will cover the tools available and dive
into the Zendesk API.
