I like big bots and I cannot lie, 5 ways bots can change your life.
Bots used to be very expensive to build. Now with Microsoft and Google offering nice bot development platforms, businesses are building bots in days.
At SSW we have built bots on both platforms and discovered their differences, worked out the pros and cons, and some best practices for developing on these platforms.
Regardless of the differences, you can now build a bot quickly and cheaply.
Keep reading to see my top 5 questions that bots could be answering for your business.

Session #2: I’m a .NET Developer in a Pure Functional Programming Universe' with Stephan Dekker
I believe the first step is to acknowledge an addiction. So here we go: I am Stephan Dekker and I am TOTALLY addicted to pure functional programming. There… I’ve said it!
After developing with .NET for 18 years and counting (Yep, that’s right: .NET 1.1), I ended up working with a functional programming language called “Elixir”.
This is my story of what this “functional programming” hype boils down to and how it is different to your everyday .NET development. Is it better? I think so, but you decide yourself!

Stephan has been working in the IT industry for 20+ years, he started developing embedded software and hardware before moving on to business applications.
He has a passion for process improvements and has implemented process improvement frameworks several times at enterprise organisations including a Top 20 bank in the world.

October Sydney .NET User Group: 7 Deadly Presentation Sins with Samantha and Andrew Coates
What makes a great presentation? More importantly, what are the elements that can destroy a great presentation, even if the content itself is technically sound?
In this session Samantha and Andrew Coates demonstrate seven sins that must not be committed in a presentation, why and how a presentation can suffer from committing them, and how to avoid accidentally committing them.
Ironically, when we practice we deliberately commit presentation sins. We stop, we fix, we repeat and refine.
Like elite musicians, dedicated technical presenters typically spend many solitary hours doing this, which of course is necessary to master any content.
Covering everything from wrong notes to blue screens of death, this dynamic and multi-talented pair not only break down the elements of successful and unsuccessful presentations, but also outline how one can give a truly engaging presentation every time, no matter how basic or complex the content.

She will show how the performance skills and practice habits of musicians can be harnessed by developers to maximise their success in any stressful situation.
