We’re excited to welcome you back to Living IT and for an evening with us! The doors open from 17.00, and the program kicks off at 17.45-isch - come hungry for socializing, food and knowledge!
We hope to see you there!
IMPORTANT: If you have signed up to the event but can't make it for some reason please cancel your spot in good time before the event so the spot is free for someone else to attend. The places are limited so be sure to sign up!
Agenda:
OpenID Connect for .NET developers
(Tore Nestenius, TN Data)
Adding OpenID Connect to ASP.NET Core often starts with a call to AddOpenIdConnect(). But what actually happens under the hood?
In this session, we will build a practical mental model of OpenID Connect and explore the three key roles of the OpenID Connect handler: starting the authentication flow, handling the callback and obtaining tokens, and signing the user out.
Along the way, we will see how the application learns who the user is and obtains access to protected APIs. This talk will give you a solid starting point for understanding and using OpenID Connect in your ASP.NET Core applications.
Making Illegal States Unrepresentable with Union Types in C# 15
(Johan Olsson, The Tribe)
For decades, C# developers have relied on conventions, documentation, and runtime checks to prevent invalid states from creeping into their applications. With union types arriving in C# 15, we finally have a language feature that allows us to model many of those rules directly in the type system.
In this talk, we'll explore how union types enable more expressive domain models, safer workflows, and clearer business logic. Through practical DDD examples, we'll see how they eliminate impossible states, simplify result handling, model state transitions, and reduce sprawling conditional code. You'll come away with concrete techniques for using union types to make your code more explicit, more maintainable, and harder to misuse.
C# And Devcontainers: Chasing Full Determinism
(Rubèn Aiello, numbworks)
This presentation shares the results of a comprehensive effort to build deterministic, offline‑capable .NET devcontainers that operate consistently across Windows and Linux versions of VSCode. It reports on developing C# libraries and CLI applications without relying on Visual Studio or a host‑installed .NET Runtime. The session evaluates the practicality of running CI/CD tasks - such as coverage, software metrics and packaging - entirely inside the devcontainer, and demonstrates how to relocate “bin” and “obj” folders to Docker volumes and stop polluting the local code repositories with build artifacts.
