Keynote: A Fresh Look at Visual Studio for Mac<\/h3>\n

Amanda Silver, Scott Hunter, Jon Galloway<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re completely new to Visual Studio for Mac,\u00a0haven\u2019t used it in a while,\u00a0or\u00a0use it daily and want to learn more,\u00a0now\u2019s a great time for a close look.\u00a0Over the last few releases,\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0added features and\u00a0improved the existing experience\u00a0to make Visual Studio for Mac the premier environment for building .NET applications\u00a0on the Mac. Join us for this keynote\u00a0presentation\u00a0to\u00a0learn\u00a0how to make web, mobile, and game development easy and productive on your Mac.<\/p>\n

Building\u00a0Blazor\u00a0Applications on a Mac<\/h3>\n

Daniel Roth, Kendra Havens<\/p>\n

Blazor\u00a0lets you build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript, with rich\u00a0web UI components implemented using C#, HTML, and CSS. Both client and server code are written in C#, allowing you to share code and libraries.\u00a0Visual Studio 2019 for Mac includes support for building\u00a0Blazor\u00a0Server applications, and in this session, Daniel Roth and Kendra Havens are going to show you how to get started!<\/p>\n

Realtime Web Applications, From Four Mac to the Cloud, with\u00a0SignalR\u00a0+ Azure<\/h3>\n

Brady\u00a0Gaster<\/p>\n

Want to build interactive\u00a0applications\u00a0that\u00a0deliver up-to-date information without\u00a0making your users constantly hit\u00a0a refresh button? It\u2019s hard, especially if you want to gracefully degrade\u00a0for older clients. Fortunately,\u00a0SignalR\u00a0helps you build that functionality into your server-side code quickly, with great standards support and fallback!\u00a0Combine that with Azure\u00a0SignalR\u00a0service, and you can quickly build real-time applications at scale, all from your Mac.<\/p>\n

ASP.NET Core on macOS<\/h3>\n

Sayed Ibrahim\u00a0Hashimi, Jon Galloway<\/p>\n

ASP.NET Core is a web framework for building web apps and services\u2026 and did we mention that they\u2019re crazy fast? We\u2019ll show you how Visual Studio for Mac is packed with feature to help you get going quickly and stay productive, with project templates, scaffolding, debugging, deployment, and more.<\/p>\n

Serverless on a Mac<\/h3>\n

Jeff\u00a0Hollan<\/p>\n

Serverless applications let you develop efficient, cost effective applications without worrying about application infrastructure. With Visual Studio for Mac, you can take advantage of the benefits of serverless from a familiar and productive development experience.\u00a0 In this session we\u2019ll go over how to get started developing, debugging, and testing your serverless apps on a Mac, then show you how to deploy your app to the cloud at scale in a few commands.<\/p>\n

Building Mobile Applications on .NET with Xamarin<\/h3>\n

James\u00a0Montemagno, Maddy Leger<\/p>\n

What if you could build applications for iOS, Android, and Windows\u00a0with the productivity of\u00a0.NET,\u00a0while\u00a0still providing\u00a0great native experiences?\u00a0Xamarin\u00a0to the rescue!\u00a0James and Maddy will show you\u00a0how, and\u00a0show off some great new features for Xamarin development on macOS.<\/p>\n

Building Games with Unity<\/h3>\n

Abdullah Hamed, Sarah Sexton<\/p>\n

Unity is a game development platform for building 2D and 3D games using .NET that run on 25+ platforms across mobile, desktop, console, TV, VR, AR, and the Web.\u00a0Come join the fun as Abdullah shows you how to build games on your Mac.<\/p>\n

How to be Productive Developing .NET on a Mac<\/h3>\n

Mikayla Hutchinson, Kendra Havens<\/p>\n

Now that you\u2019ve seen all the different types of applications you can build using Visual Studio for Mac, we\u2019ll show you some great tips that will make your development experience more productive and fun! You\u2019ll learn about tons of features you didn\u2019t know existed, optional tweaks, shortcuts, and more!<\/p>\n

Closing and Virtual Attendee Party<\/h3>\n

Jeff Fritz, Jon Galloway<\/p>\n

Join our live stream attendee party for live chat, Q&A, trivia, giveaways, and some fun surprises!\u00a0We\u2019ll be streaming live from Channel 9 Studio, taking your questions on Twitch and Twitter,\u00a0talking about what we saw during the day, and where you can go next to get involved and learn more.<\/p>\n
