Featured Talk: Google Cloud Platform by Google Engineer, Chris Bacon
Clouds are everywhere, but Google’s Cloud Platform may not (yet!) be an obvious choice for a .NET developer.
Chris will talk about what GCP (Google Cloud Platform) is, a bit of its history, a bit about how it’s implemented, how they currently support .NET platform and developers, and what’s planned for the future.
He’ll also mention many details on how they design the .NET client library APIs (and what you can do about it if you don’t like it); why API design is hard; some of the challenges around targeting multiple .NET platforms; and why C# development isn't always simple at Google.
About Chris:
Chris has been in software development for quite some time; mostly in C#, Java, Scala, and C.
Having worked in much smaller companies, he now finds himself in the only team at Google that develops for the .NET platform :)
