6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Microsoft (11th Floor)
1100-1111 Georgia St W, Vancouver, BC, Vancouver, BC
We are very pleased to have two top professionals from CodeValue who just happen to be visiting Vancouver for a few days in Vancouver. We scheduled this special meetup just for them! Great chance to learn some new stuff!
Visual Studio debugging tricks every .NET developer should know
Debugging is hard - this is a fact of life. Unfortunately, it's never planned nor expected. It takes too much time, time we could have spent doing cool stuff - like developing new features for our customers.
But while there are many articles and productivity tools aimed at writing better code - faster, it seems as though it's impossible to find resources that teach you how to effectively debug your code.
In this talk we'll explore Visual Studio's more powerful but lesser known debugging capabilities. We'll also showcase OzCode and explain how it helps finding and fixing bugs faster.
Calling the Shots: Should I go Native or Cross Platform?
Whenever a new mobile application is developed company's face the same dilemma - should they develop a native application or choose a cross platform tool.
There are many inputs which should be taken into account such as time to market, performance, UX not to mention the personal preferences of the people involved.
What other factors should be taken into consideration in order to make a calculated decision?
In this talk we will review this question and try to take all the relevant factors into consideration so that next time, when developing your next killer app, you'll know exactly what to do
