It looks like i picked the right moment to give #Umbraco a go.

The question I'm looking to answer. . .

Is it the perfect backend to showcase the results of The Ultimate Rap Writing App?
Cue the confetti - Umbraco 17 LTS is here! 🎉

This major-Major version of Umbraco is both a Long-Term Supported version and, for many, includes an upgrade to a modern backoffice architecture (introduced in Umbraco 14). Find out exactly what you get with this release right here: umbra.co/487giQY

Do any of my followers have a working SGI Indy workstation? I'm looking to get some footage of some old software, or even better try it myself on real hardware. Please get in touch if you have one or know somebody with one.

It's a big day!

After 2.5 years of being a #dotnet dev, I've finally managed create a meaningful project with zero (yes ZERO) build warnings.

That must mean it's time for another promotion 🤣

Chilling out with #DexPZ on a chilly evening for #AspiriFridays.

Somehow the @aspire.dev team are keeping his attention! It must be a sign. . . of something.

Perhaps he's inspired by the cat herding abilities of @maddymontaquila.net 😹

Last weeks #TechMids conference was awesome.

A brilliant blend of interesting talks, a fantastic venue, and plenty of chatty attendees.

There was also a dash of rap 🎤

Here's some words about the day:

After a few months of prototyping iterations across paper, cardboard, and figma. . . it's time to test the real app with users.

Your book has been invaluable throughout the process @bouncingdan.bsky.social 🙌

Last weeks @halfstackconf.bsky.social was as awesome as it always is.

It was also the last in the capital for the foreseable.

Here's some words to mark the occasion.

The end of the HalfStack era
I’ve never been so sad to have a day watching fun talks, have conversations with friends, all whilst munching tasty pizza and late night bagels.

For nine straight years, HalfStack has been my favourite web conference.

Friendly. Informal. Fun.

Everything a conference should be.
Code, creativity, fun, and community! That’s HalfStack London. 💫

The journey to @techorama.bsky.social is underway 🎉

🚂🚇🚶🛫🚂

With a few tweaks still needed for the #BeatsRhymesNeuralNets demo, I'm really grateful to be talking about locally hosted "cool things".

No wifi = No problem

So what am I talking about in my 2 sessions?

I AM GETTING A LOT of software developers asking about how they can make the most out of going to their very first conference.

I don't even mean just juniors either.
It's across the board.

Many are coming to CYC for their very first conference ever.
What advice DO YOU have for them?
