TypeScript & Community Love @ Commsverse
Oct 19, 2021 · original
Well, well, what a crazy 18 months ahead. 18 Months of in person conferences lockdown, mental and health challenges all over the world. I admit I didn’t blog enough. As an extrovert I need incentives to create nice blog posts. I spoke at a lot of virtual conferences, so I served the community with my insights. Speaking at (even virtual) conferences is for me easier than blogging because I have more balance between energy giving and energy receiving comparing speaking next to blogging. Enough of nagging for an optimist like me, because last month I’ve been to my first in person conference after those crazy 18 months. I’ve been to Commsverse in Weybridge in the UK. We’re running on Teams! Commsverse is a community conference dedicated on Microsoft Teams. And I know, I am a Developer Technologies MVP coming from Xamarin, moving more and more to Blazor, what did I do at a Microsoft Teams con
I am a .NET Foundation nominee!
Jul 7, 2020 · original
After 2 years of being a Microsoft MVP on Developer Technologies I have the opportunity to add a new milestone to my #DreamingIsBelieving and Microsoft Community story. I am nominated to become a .NET Foundation Board Member. But the Question is What do I have to put on the table? Which value can I add? Being an MVP and a .NET Foundation board member is not about feeling honored and is not a gift just to pleasure the person (Although I am pleasured and feel honored). It’s all about what can I bring to the community? Which value can I add? Which contributions can I bring to the community, and why am I the right person to do this? Well, I want to focus even more on accessibility. I want to discuss and research which functions, methods, classes, packages .NET can help developers to make more accessible apps. “The easier it is to make an accessible app, the more developers will to this”. In
The Nordics: Is Cashless the way to go? An accessibility point of view.
Dec 27, 2019 · original
First, I love Sweden, I love the Nordics! If I go to there as a conference speaker, I always have a great time. The Nordics are innovative. And I am really looking forward to my next 3 trips to the Nordics in the beginning of 2020. I start with Oslo (Norway) in January, Stockholm (Sweden) in February and Helsinki (Finland) in March. Thanks to my great network I saw this movie: Movie that triggers this blog post As I saw this movie I was worried as an expert in accessibility and inclusion. So, let’s open the discussion on accessibility and inclusion from my part of view: people with disabilities. To do this, I am going to focus on 2 disabilities: autism / Asperger (youngers with autism / Asperger) and people with learning disabilities . (Youngsters) with autism / Asperger For a lot of people with autism / Asperger, especially for youngsters the physical world is important. The physical vi
Meeting the community at DevDay in Belgium
Dec 21, 2019 · original
In November 26 th there was a conference in Belgium called DevDay. The conference was at the Cinescope in Louvain-La-Neuve. For me this was great reason to visit the tech community at the Fresh speaking part of Belgium. Networking at conferences So, as you all know I made a talk called: “Networking at conferences for autistic people and introverts”. Networking at conferences is really important for me. In fact the main reason to attend this conference was to network! I wanted to meet again with Laurent Bugnion, Henk Boelman and Nick Trogh from Microsoft. Nick wasn’t speaking at this conference but was the men at the Microsoft Booth. AI in the battle against the fakes by Henk This talk was an amazing war story about a real solution for solving a problem at Henk’s previous job. Henk explained how he developed an AI solution to distinguish real products from a company and fake products. The
Going Social at Microsoft Ignite
Dec 9, 2019 · original
A month ago, I really had the time of my life. One of my biggest wishes was becoming reality. I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at Microsoft Ignite, a big Microsoft conference in the US. This trip was my second trip to USA in my #7ThYearMagic year. Microsoft Ignite was in Orlando, an awesome hood. The climate is very warm and humid. Let’s say it was my second summer of 2019. Because a lot of developers blog about Microsoft Ignite (and this is because it’s such an awesome conference) I am going to blog about a specific topic: social topics like Diversity and Inclusion. Creating an inclusive community event Lars Klint, a hero from Australia gave a session about building inclusive community events. Lars is the Organizer of DDD Melbourne. For Lars and DDD Melbourne it’s very important that the event is inclusive. Diversity and Inclusion is Key for them. Lars explained about gender div
Being an Expert at Xam(arin) Expert Day
Nov 18, 2019 · original
Cologne, German Beers, German Fairgrounds and loads of fun! 25 th October I had a talk at Expert Day for Xamarin . I flew in from an evening flight on the 24 th straight after Microsoft TechDays in Sweden. I missed the speaker’s dinner but when I arrived at the Microsoft offices on the 25 th I knew I was with my Xamarin Family James’ Keynote Me and James Montemagno No one less than the one and only James Montemagno was invited to speak at this conference! James was James as he always is, awesome! James showed Hot Reload, and I remember a very good demo and explanation of the Android AOT (Ahead of Time) compiler . DevOps: Continuous delivery for Xamarin applications, Azure DevOps and App Center Stefanija is presenting a great talk! In this talk Stefanija Popovska answered a question I had for a long time: “ When do I use Azure DevOps or when do I use App Center? ”. I am a developer who’s
Swedish Developer Dreams @ Microsoft TechDays Stockholm
Nov 16, 2019 · original
In October I attended and spoke twice at Microsoft TechDays in Stockholm, Sweden. As I made the engagement to make a blogpost of each conference that I attend as a speaker or as an attendee I give you a rewrite. And I know 23rd and 24 th of October is a while ago. But Last month I had a lot of conferences (and I love it!) But of course, a day has only 24 hours. So, in the future weeks I will post a lot of conference reports. Drinking AI invented Whiskey wtih Magnus Mårtensson For me Microsoft TechDays Sweden was the conference linked to a big huge community feeling. I met a lot of other Microsoft MVP’s that I didn’t met since I am a Microsoft MVP. I also met my Community Manager Tina Stenderup . I had wonderful talks. At this conference I had more networking and skipped more talks that I am used to do. But I had a great time and build on my Microsoft / Conference / Speaker Network! This
My 4th Future Decoded was with me!
Oct 30, 2019 · original
My 4 Th Future Decoded in a Row! I really enjoyed this Microsoft conference. Each year this conference is marked in my agenda months in advance. It’s big! (I know there are bigger conferences in US). At this time Future Decoded was the biggest conference I’ve been to. In November I work on this and go to visit and speak at Microsoft Ignite! and I know it’s way bigger. But I love Microsoft Future Decoded and call it a big conference until November. This year Future Decoded has some extra magic. I went to the conference with my best friend and General Manager of Scorpius IT Kenny Liard . Nice to know, Kenny is also part of my nonprofit DDSoft . Traveling with your BFF together is always fun! Like last year Future Decoded was pretty much AI focused. I love it to see what’s possible with AI and how Microsoft is putting input into this field. Sustainability I was overwhelmed with the initiati
My journey at DevConf
Oct 8, 2019 · original
This was my second stop at my magic Fall, my Fall conference season. I had the amazing opportunity to speak at DevConf in Krakow, Poland. A nice conference in an amazing cinema; What means: having the opportunity to project your slide deck on a huge cinema screen. This was a dream for me, and I believe this is an awesome dream for a lot of speakers. I had good talks with other speakers like Callum Whyte , Spencer Sneidenbach and Dylan Beattie . Meeting the same speakers during conferences throughout the year feels like a family reunion. This all because speakers at conferences are a big family! I also met a new speaker: Johan Öbrink. I am happy that I met this person! I like his vision. So, starting from DevConf Johan is also part of my family I like to share you some insights from some of the talks I attended: Social topics Privilege as a Technical Debt Did you consider how people from
Simplify The Layout
Sep 29, 2019 · original
In this blogpost I’d love to talk about ‘simplify the layout’. In other words this means making the lay-out easier to understand. In this blogpost I am going to tell you how to make a layout for an app that’s really accessible. Easy to use. I am going to focus on people with autism, learning disabilities (in other words intellectual or cognitive disabilities) and people that are distracted very often. An example is people on the ADD / ADHD spectrum. How to start with simplifying the layout? You can start simplifying the layout of your application with cutting down the content of your application. Simplifying the lay-out is making the screen easy to understand. This can be done with less content par screen. Big busy screens with lot of divided content isn’t easy for everyone. And I know, a lot of developers want to build applications with as much as possible options. Eye – catchers. For p
