Assembling a crewDid you see twitter ? It started a spicy conversation on howcomplex .NET is in comparison to other frameworks .I have been telling you all for ages .Want to change it ?I am in! We should get Charles to run the user studyand customer development. He’s work is EPIC!
GoalsMinimal APIs Reduce complexity for new people

GoalsMinimal APIs Reduce complexity for new people Reduce ceremony for the all developers Embrace minimalism Taking the lessons from .NET Interactive We grow with you Optimizing for a happy path
Conversations with new peopleOutside our comfort zone
User StudyFormatInterviewed 16 non-.NET developers and invited the complete atutorial.Format.NET Perceptions beforeTutorial.NET Perceptions after
User StudyPerceptions Before“When I think of .NET I think of early 2000 late 1990s era of web developer” Fullstack JavaScript Dev at a mid size company“I don't have a great perception. It's mostly enterprise and I have tried to stayaway from that having coming from a military background.” CTO at Startup Python Dev“I have worked mostly in Startups it isn't widely adopted” GO Developer at a Startup
User StudyTutorialGoal: Build the backend to TodoReact App using .NET
User StudyPerceptions After“It's totally different. I feel like C# has similar syntax to JavaScript so it feels like home” Fullstack JavaScript Dev at a mid size company“ My opinion of .NET might have been unfair It comes down to how many Python I can hire vs .NET. it’s about public perception.” CTO at Startup Python Dev“When I think of .NET I think of something that is difficult to use. From this itdoesn't seem that hard even though I am scratching the surface.” GO Developer at a Startup
Allow me to reintroduce myselfJay Z – PSA 2008
Demo: Minimal ASP.NET Core
DetailsWhere we are going High Performance
DetailsWhere we are going High Performance New C# Features : Improved Lambdas, Global Usings, Top Level Statements New primitives in ASP.NET Core Basic model binding Open APIs Shared Foundation : Use MVC features you love minus the need for acontroller.
