A hands-on workshop with Dylan Beattie, covering HTTP, REST, GraphQL, gRPC, RabbitMQ, and SignalR: what they do, why you would use them, and how they all work with C# and .NET Core.

This workshop gives you a hands-on introduction to the most important messaging patterns used in modern application development. Using .NET Core and C#, we’ll build a series of small example apps and services, wire them together using these patterns, and discuss how – and when – you’d apply the same patterns in your own applications.

Workshop will be held on July 6, 7 from 4 p.m to 8 p.m. (UTC+3). Timezone: EEST.
