Languages and fundamentals are the foundation everything else is built on. AI coding assistants can generate a lot of code quickly, but you still need to understand that code, test it, and recognize when it's wrong. With .NET 11 now part of the conversation and C# continuing to evolve, this track keeps your core skills sharp. You'll see what's new in .NET and C#, master asynchronous and parallel programming, discover how far LINQ reaches beyond databases, and build confidence with unit testing in C#. You'll also see how agentic systems come together in .NET, from concept to code, and how Python fits into the toolbox of a Microsoft developer. These are the skills that stay relevant no matter which framework, platform, or AI tool comes next.
Topics in this track include:
- What's New in .NET 11 & C#
- LINQ - It's Not Just for Databases
- Python for .NET Developers
- Unit Testing with C#
