The video of @jamesbender's Tailwind CSS talk from last night is on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/watch?v=4Kv1bL… Sorry about the occasional audio dropouts... turns out state of the art recording tech only works properly when @dylanbeattie remembers to push the right buttons. 🤣

Thanks to everybody who came along to our meetup last week, and especially to @markrendle for stepping in at the last minute with a great talk on the history of programming. If you couldn't make it, the videos are up on your YouTube channel now: @LondonDotNet" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@LondonDotNet

Hey folks - Alex Sheppard-Godwin has had to reschedule, so instead we've roped in @markrendle to tell us the story of "How JavaScript Happened", an insightful and extremely funny look at the history of programming language design. Same time, same place, hope to see you all there!

Next Thursday 15th February, we're @FundApps in Shoreditch. Alex Sheppard-Godwin will be talking about "blurred code" - the challenges of writing code with poor sight - and we're hosting a park bench on the state of .NET in 2024. Sign up: meetup.com/london-net-use… See you there!

Exciting news - the talks at last night's meetup were recorded, and will be up on our YouTube channel shortly! We're just waiting for YouTube to verify that we're human - which they are apparently doing by watching a short video of @dylanbeattie's face, so hilarity may ensue...

@dylanbeattie @guyroyse @LondonDotNet I had no idea this was a thing, and now down the rabbit hole I go

Tonight! We're meeting @FundApps in Shoreditch; @eiriktsarpalis has the lowdown on new stuff in .NET 8, and @guyroyse will be tracking aircraft with software-defined radio. Doors open @ 18:30, and there's a few places available if you want to come along: meetup.com/london-net-use…

Come see my talk at @LondonDotNet next week where I'll be presenting what's new and exciting in .NET 8! meetup.com/london-net-use… #dotnet

We're back @Accurx in Shoreditch tomorrow, Sep 13; @lottepitcher will be giving an intro to Umbraco for .NET developers, and @david_whitney will be talking about building a Gameboy emulator in .NET. Still a few places left if you want to join us: meetup.com/london-net-use…

Next up tonight it’s @nickchapsas talking about logging in .NET and why you’re doing it wrong… and is that @MartinDotNet I see making an unexpected cameo on one of Nick’s slides?
