Coupon Code: "DEEP" for a GIANT discount Mani provides us with strategies and tactics to get Deep Work time and how to get our minds into that focused state for hours at a time. He has read hundreds of books that have taught him the secrets to getting more done by getting into this state. He starts by telling us how he was passed over for a promotion at Qualcomm in favor of someone younger and less experienced and how that inspired him to figure out what the other guy was doing differently. He learned that he needed to get more done with the time he was spending on his projects. The trick? Deep Work! Deep Work is the ability to spend uninterrupted, focused time on a task to bend your entire mind toward the goal. Other developers call it "Flow" or "the Zone."

Today's episode is all about functional programming. While C# isn't necessarily designed for functional programming you can still write functional code as long as you aren't a purist. Simon Painter joins us to talk about functional programming in general and how to use it in C# specifically. How do you write functional code in an object-oriented language? How do you use classes? What limitations do you put on your methods? We discuss these questions and also look at the new record type, Funcs, switch statements and Linq. Of course F# comes up during our discussion and we go through some of the differences and how C# has adopted a number of things from the F# language. Do you use functional programming in C#? Do you use the F# language? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast. Panel

Today we take a look at how Microsoft is working with blockchain in Azure. Stefano Tempesta is a senior program manager at Microsoft on Azure confidential computing. Azure confidential computing focuses on securing data in use and one of the technologies they are working with is blockchain. Microsoft is working to develop blockchain solutions that can be used for things like digital signatures and supply chain management. We also find out how Microsoft is using blockchain on some internal projects. Since Blockchain technology is here to stay, Stefano discusses a number of future uses outside cryptocurrency. Even so we had to ask Stefano about bitcoin, etherium and NFTs. Have you used Blockchain? Do you see any use for it in the enterprise space? Let us know on Twitter at @dotnet_Podcast. Panel
