RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #54

28th April 2024

This week I attended Crimecon in Glasgow helping to represent the Scottish Murders Podcast! There were branded pens, stickers, badges, keyrings, and torches - which proved the most popular to give away! It was great to see so many fans of the podcast as well as others who were hearing about it for the first time! It was also great to see many others there including The Cyber Helpline who I have been happy to support by donating all the proceeds from Zunepedia to them, including any future proceeds!

Next week I'll be attending .NET Notts for the very first time for their [HYBRID] ML Algorithms - Simon Painter & XAML with .NET 8 - Peter Bull event which will also feature Simon Painter talking about Basic Machine Learning Algorithms! It is also the very first time I have been to Nottingham too, so will have an hour or so to look around before heading for the talk then returning to Gateshead! I'm really looking forward to delivering this talk for a new audience, plus if you can't make it in person then it will also be livestreamed online as is a hybrid event!

Next week will also see Episode sixteen of the RoguePlanetoid Podcast about Uno Platform being released! Uno Platform recently had an update that updated the project system to use just a single project, so it is even easier to get started with it than before! This Episode follows on from ones on .NET MAUI and XAML so you can listen to those now wherever you listen to your podcasts and the one about Uno Platform on 1st of May!

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #53

21st April 2024

This week it was announced officially that I would be speaking at .NET Notts in Nottingham on 28th of April to deliver my talk, Take a Note of XAML with .NET 8! It will be great to deliver this talk again to a new audience both in person and online as will be a hybrid event! If you're able to make it along or what to check it out online then you can sign up for the [HYBRID] ML Algorithms - Simon Painter & XAML with .NET 8 - Peter Bull event which will also feature Simon Painter talking about Basic Machine Learning Algorithms. I'm really looking forward to going along and visiting Nottingham for the very first time, hopefully will have more opportunities to talk at future events around the country!

This week it was also Record Store Day and I paid a visit to Reflex Record Shop in Newcastle upon Tyne where I picked up MIKE OLDFIELD, HERGEST RIDGE, THE 1974 DEMO. I was lucky to get it as was told when queuing there were only four out of a thousand left that they had but was in luck as by the time I got to the front of the queue I was able to get my own copy! I'm really pleased I went along and was joined in the queue by so many other people, including one who I chatted along with the whole time which made the queuing not feel so long, is great to be able to support local Record Shops like that and really glad I decided to make the trip and didn't come back empty handed!

Next week I will be getting ready to go along to Crimecon in Glasgow to help represent the Scottish Murders Podcast. We'll have some pens and torches to give away along with stickers for those coming along! I've been to a couple before but wasn't able to make it to the one last year so am really looking forward to being able to go along this year and check out the sessions there too!

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #52

14th April 2024

This week saw the release of Rules Engine with .NET which is a Talk on tutorialr.com which explains what is a Rules Engine, talking about the Microsoft Rules Engine along with an example showing off the Rules Engine in .NET. Plus there was also an Article about Rules Engines with more general information about Rules Engines. What I didn't expect is how popular the video would be on YouTube which as of this post has almost 400 views, which is incredible! It has certainly rewarded the time and effort it took which was many hours of work to put together the video so pleased it has been so well received and is already one of the most popular videos I've done on my Channel on YouTube!

Next week thanks to that success with the tutorialr.com Talk on Rules Engine with .NET that it has inspired me to already start work on the second video for another Talk which will be on Windows Presentation Foundation with .NET so am looking forward to putting that together and releasing that very soon! It also takes cues from recent talks I've done including the Take a Note of XAML with .NET 8, which I'm happy to say I will be doing again for a new audience in Nottingham on Monday 29th of April, so am really looking forward to it along with being happy to announce that here first!

tutorialr.com Talk Thursday - Rules Engine with .NET

11th April 2024

It is the first Tutorial Thursday and for now and tutorialr.com has been updated with a new Talk about Rules Engine with .NET that you can watch!

Rules Engine with .NET

Rules Engine with .NET will talk about .NET along with Console and Blazor applications. Then will cover what is a Rules Engine, covering the Microsoft Rules Engine and then showing a Demo which should hopefully help with understanding Rules Engine with .NET!

You see the Talk on YouTube or get the Slides and Demo on GitHub along with an Article on tutorialr.com.

RoguePlanetoid Weekly Update #51

7th April 2024

This week saw the release of the fifteenth Episode of the RoguePlanetoid Podcast about .NET MAUI. It was great to speak about .NET MAUI again and as mentioned in the last Weekly Update, the first time I'd used it was for my talk, Take a Note of XAML with .NET 8, after having used Xamarin a few years ago! The release of that Episode also coincided with the week of Google Podcasts starting to be shut down, so the RoguePlanetoid Podcast has now moved to YouTube Music, where you'll find that latest Episode and all previous Episodes. It was great to see that not only has the latest Episode gained new downloads there but many previous Episodes too!

Next week will see the release of something I've been working on the past couple of weeks which will be a new tutorialr.com Talk, Rules Engine with .NET, which will be released this Thursday as have had Tutorial Tuesday, Workshop Wednesday in the past, so this week will see a Talk Thursday! These Talks do take quite some time to put together compared to a Podcast, so I aim to release about one every few months! This first Talk will bale about what a Rules Engine is along with an example plus a demo showing how the Rules Engine is used in a simple application! It has been great to finally work on a Talk after adding the first Talks three years ago when tutorialr.com launched!
