AI DevOps Podcast

Today's guest is Dr. Neil Roodyn — an entrepreneur, founder, consultant, trainer, and author! Neil travels the world, working with technology companies and helps software development teams become more productive. He spends much of his time each year flying between Europe and the U.S. working with software teams and writing about his experiences. As an author, Neil has been involved in several technical books, including: Mixed Reality Fundamentals, where he was a co-author; The Digital Table, which he also co-authored; and eXtreme .NET: Introducing eXtreme Programming Techniques to .NET Developers.

An interesting fact about Neil is that he is often at the forefront (or ahead of) technology trends. In 1995, Neil worked on 3D graphics and VR; in 1999, he worked with smartphone technology; in 2002, he was actively involved with the tablet PC; in 2005, he focused on online mapping; in 2008, it was digital tables; and in 2011, it was all about vision-based computing. And now, since 2016, he has been working with AI, cognitive services, and mixed reality! A core part of Neil's work is his belief that technology should help us; not hinder us — and right now, that's not always the case.

Dr. Neil Roodyn has seen many technologies, paradigm shifts, and has done a lot of thinking around how the different technologies impact how we behave and communicate — i.e. the social impact of technology. In this episode, Neil gives his take on the social impact of technology, the huge challenges that come along with it, and his ideas on how to address it from both an individual and team level.

This is an incredibly important topic for developers (or anyone in the industry really!) — so tune in to learn more about the social impact of technology and how you can become less distracted and more productivity!

Joining Jeffrey Palermo today is Jeff Fritz! Jeff is the Senior Program Manager in Microsoft's Developer Division working on the .Net Community Team. He's a long-time web developer and survivor of the .com era. He has built large software-as-a-service applications in every version of ASP.NET, with a focus on performance and scalability. Four days a week you can catch Jeff writing code and teaching folks how to get ahead in the software industry on a live video stream called, "Fritz and Friends" on Twitch! You can also catch Jeff on a previous episode of The Azure DevOps Podcast; "Party with Palermo at the Microsoft MVP Summit!"

This week, the two Jeffreys will be discussing .Net Core and Blazor! They talk about Jeff's background in the industry and what he's currently up to, his current findings in the space of .Net Core 3.0 and Blazor, his experimentation with Blazor and Akka.NET, and whether or not the Blazor model will become the norm for web applications. Jeff also reviews what's available for developers to use today vs. what they may have to wait a bit for, and gives his recommendations on what listeners should follow up on to learn more about Blazor and Akka.NET.

Topics of Discussion:

[:42] About today's episode.

[2:05] Jeff gives his background; how he came to work at Microsoft, caught the "speaking bug," and how he decided to become a video streamer on Twitch.

[7:50] Jeff talks about the logistics of some of the longer format video streams he conducts.

[9:10] What Jeff is finding in the space of .Net Core 3 and Blazor.

[15:21] Jeff deciphers what is available for developers to use right now vs. what they have to wait a bit for.

[20:19] Will the Blazor model become the norm for web applications?

[26:49] About Jeff's experimentation with Blazor and Akka.NET.

[33:01] How Akka.NET is architecturally different (from Hub-and-spoke or a bus pattern). If you're an an ASP-controller, what does it look like?
