Video recordings of the best reports of the .NET conference DotNext 2016 Piter
While the preparation for the Moscow DotNext is in full swing, we have opened access to video recordings of reports from the conference held this summer. According to the link - the full playlist, and under the cut - the top 5 reports on the feedback from participants. Saying “top”, we do not mean our favorite reports or the choice of some “experts” - the best ones are selected based on a weighted score from 80% of the conference participants. What do you think, whose performance the audience rated higher - performance expert Sasha Goldstein or charismatic Dino Esposito?
5th place
Dmitry Soshnikov - How many lives does .NET: think about the fate of your favorite platform
Average rating: 4.48
')
We say “.NET” - we mean “Microsoft”: the opening keynote DotNext was from the technological evangelist of the company that spawned the entire platform. Starting with nostalgia for the times of the ZX Spectrum and reaching the use of Cognitive Services , he became a good warm-up for listeners before diving headlong into the topics of subsequent reports.
Dmitry will develop the topic of Cognitive Services at the upcoming DotNext 2016 Moscow - in the report "Intelligent chatbots and cognitive services."
4th place
Andrey Akinshin, Julia Tsisyk, Anatoly Kulakov - Let's talk about arithmetic
Average rating: 4.58
One of the most effective ways to feel stupid is to try to help a sixth grader with homework. The situation is similar with this report: it seems to be devoted to basic arithmetic operations, but thanks to him it was unexpected to find that you don’t know much about them. The speech was built in the format of puzzlers with two assistants: Andrei Akinshin voiced the puzzle, Anatoly Kulakov and Yulia Tsisyk made suggestions - and the audience is trying to understand which of them is right.
At the Moscow DotNext Akinshin will continue to talk about arithmetic, but not in the format of problems.
3rd place
Sasha Goldshtein - Performance For Free
Average rating: 4.65
If the author of the book “Pro .NET Performance” has the root “perf” in the title of the report, this is an occasion to pay attention. Sasha Goldstein talked about how Microsoft's PerfView tool is better than a regular profiler
In December, Goldstein will also have a report with “perf” in the title: “Squeezing the Hardware to Make Performance Juice”. And besides him, also the report “WinDbg Superpowers for .NET Developers”
2nd place
Dino Esposito - ASP.NET Core 1.0: Challenges and Opportunities
Average rating: 4.69
When Dino Esposito takes the stage, there is no doubt that it will be impressive - one of his gestures would be enough for three. But this year, the audience was especially lucky, because the difficult situation with (ASP) .NET Core fits his manner as well as possible. So the report lacked sarcasm, at the same time confusing the room and at the same time capaciously conveying problems. In the “dialogue with the manager about the transition to the Core” scene, starting at 39:53, Esposito did not even have to clearly voice the last line to bring applause.
Several months have passed since this show - how are things going with Core now? In December, Esposito will open the Moscow DotNext with a keynout, so that everything can be found there, and surely it will also turn out brightly.

Sasha Goldshtein - The C ++ and CLR Memory Models
Average rating: 4.70
"Gold" went to the same speaker as "bronze"! However, it is not surprising that in the .NET environment, Goldstein, thanks to his knowledge of the “guts,” enjoys the same unconditional respect as at Java conferences, Alexey Shipilev. In the report “The C ++ and CLR Memory Models,” Sasha told, for example, about things that developers take for granted, but in fact are valid only for x86 processors. So in their case, the transition to architecture like ARM is able to break everything. I remember the recent tweet of the same Shipilev:
One would have thought that viewers automatically put high marks on those reports on “complex” topics, in which they understood not all of what was said. But in reality, the opposite is true: in the reviews, Goldstein is praised for the ability to "explain the complex with simple words."
DotNext 2016 Moscow
At the upcoming Moscow DotNext you get a real royal flash: all the speakers who fall into this top will perform there! At the same time there will be new faces:
- Jesse Liberty (Liberty Associates), who will speak twice at once: with a keynote on C # 7 innovations and a report on Advanced Xamarin.Forms.
- Dina Goldshtein (Aternity), who recently told us about performance monitoring tools, will examine ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) in detail.
- Marco Cecconi will talk about the work on the performance in the project, well known to all developers: Stack Overflow. Of the two of his reports, the first will be about the project as a whole, and the second about a particular feature: tags, by which the necessary entries are filtered out of millions of possible.
- Egor Bogatov (Xamarin / Microsoft) will consider a more hardcore situation than “just C #”: interaction from C # with C ++ code.
- Gael Fraiteur (PostSharp Technologies) will offer to “dive” into multi-threading by understanding what happens at the core and processor level when we use multi-threaded features in .NET.
In general, we are waiting for everyone on December 9!
