Last week it was great to hold the True Crime special of Podcast Paddock, we had amazing speakers there and was an informative and interesting conversation with those there with just fireside chats after our introduction which was a first. If you want to find details of our next event when it is posted then visit cluarantonn.com. It was also great this week to go along to another Silicon Mingle and speak to a few of the people there, which is where I was encouraged to go along to Software Crafters Newcastle - Solutions Shop so am looking forward to that as went along to some of the initial sessions but haven't had a chance to go along again so am looking forward to that later this month!
Recently I've been making the most of any opportunities to hear about things as part of the Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals but can't share any of that here unfortunately, at least until it becomes public! However, it was great to see an announcement I can talk about which is the phased approach to open-sourcing WinUI, which is the user interface component of Windows App SDK which is used to create native Windows applications. This will be an amazing opportunity for developers to see what's coming, raise issues and contribute to the platform, you can read more about this in my Article on WinUI rollout towards open collaboration.
This week it was great to see myself added to Cush as one of the Mentors offering my help, guidance and support where my aim is to empower everyone to get the best start or continuation of their career in software development. My hope is that my own experiences will help others, especially those who may have previously faced difficulties, to help them in their career in software development including .NET as well as helping to prepare for interviews or any other way I can help!
