👉 Messaging: Do You Really Need a Command Dispatcher or Messaging Framework with Ian Cooper
The .NET ecosystem offers several frameworks that act as command/query dispatchers, messaging frameworks, or both. As some of these projects shift from open source to commercial offerings, developers are beginning to ask: do we even need these frameworks in the first place?In this talk, we’ll begin by exploring the rationale for using a command dispatcher. Why introduce this layer of indirection instead of calling your domain logic directly from an API handler?
Once we’ve understood when and why a command dispatcher adds value, we’ll take a closer look at messaging frameworks—how they work and why they often include command dispatching as a core feature.
Finally, we’ll assess the benefits that these frameworks offer over rolling your own solution—from reliability and observability to consistency and scalability.Code examples will use Brighter V10.

👉 .NET nanoFramework on a Cheap Yellow Display
Working with software can feel a bit detached, everything is virtual and abstracted from reality. I want something physical that can be held and touched. And of course it had to run dotNet.
So this is my journey combining an ESP32 based microcontroller and display with the dotNet nanoFramework. Learn about the gotchas of with working with new hardware, how nanoFramework is deployed and how to interact with some of the hardware on this device.
