Just watched @1kevgriff presentation on "Building MCP Servers in .NET" at #TechBash; probably the most practical/useful session I've attended thus far this year.

Had a great time chatting with @consultwithgriff.com on @coffeeandopensource.com today about all kinds of #tech topics. Video is live on YouTube and podcast is available wherever you find them. Take a look/listen and thanks!

C# Strings Silently Kill Your SQL Server Indexes in Dapper https://consultwithgriff.com/dapper-nvarchar-implicit-conversion-performance-trap This is huge.

Nice post on Extension Members by @consultwithgriff.com

State of the @dotnetfoundation.org with @consultwithgriff.com ! There's no better time to be a .NET Developer \o/

Crazy web performance with Azure static web apps. Fantastic talk by @1kevgriff at @CommitYourCode - great demo - deploying updates live! 😳

always a pleasure hanging with the LEGEND @consultwithgriff.com

Big thanks to Kevin Griffin for an awesome talk at last night's CapArea.Net Users Group meeting at our offices in One Loudoun. We always appreciate your insights and advice on #dotNet, Microsoft, and everything in between.

I'm so excited that @consultwithgriff.com is driving up from Virginia Beach to present to the CapArea User Group tonight. If you're in the Northern VA / DC area you should absolutely swing by and say hi: www.meetup.com/caparea-net/...

So many great people at the #CommitYourCode Conference. Here's two of my fave: Thanks for helping to make this community great, @aaronfrancis.com && @consultwithgriff.com!

Great talk today - Thursday

Ok I just watched the episode now as the twins kept me up late :) Kevin, I remember reminiscing about 2 frugal dudes with you while I was still at Microsoft, great to hear more details about your current MTI podcast! David, thanks for doing the interview! :)

Thank you so much @1kevgriff, for all that you do for the dev community, you rock, you're the best. You're awesome! 😎

I had a blast speaking at the Hampton Roads DevFest, meeting a ton of new devs, and sharing knowledge of the GitHub Day of Learning program that my team runs. There were some great speakers and topics. Thank you Kevin Griffin for organizing an outstanding event!

Excited to be speaking at DevFest today! Folks who came to my "Art of Web Defense" online workshop last week got a sneak peek of the talk I'll give today. @1kevgriff has organized a terrific lineup of speakers so I'm going to do my best to try and deliver. Wish me luck!

i absolutely LOVED hanging with @1kevgriff on his podcast on social proofing you career and why social media is your best friend when it comes to starting up other incomes!

That was so much more honest and open than I was expecting. Inspiring to listen to. Unfortunately, I don't have a middle name I can leverage for the purpose of personal branding so will have to make do with competing with my athletic namesakes. Subscribed to the channel! 👍

I can highly recommend both of these books. Especially the SignalR on .NET 6 one. Combined with @1kevgriff course on Udemy feeling like a SignalR pro.

Just started Ep1 and I'm already hooked because all these were also part of my own journey: ✅ DirectX ✅ XNA ✅ HoloLens ✅ dev tools/content for the community Check out @1kevgriff's Multithreaded Income Podcast!

Great talk! Saw the video version you did in Oslo.

icymi @1kevgriff 's awesome presentation on .NET Background Services:

I enjoyed your presentation to the @CapareaDotNet group last night. I wish I could have been there in person but I'm traveling a lot these days. Thanks for taking the time to drive up and share with us all.

I'm so excited to see we have a large audience to see @1kevgriff tonight! Sign up if you haven't yet, it'll be informative and fun!

"With the 911 agencies, we recieved data every seconds. That's a lot of repetitive data!" Architecture is an important part software engineering. Using real life experiences, Kevin Griffin delivered a great talk on rethinking efficiency.

Check out @1kevgriff's work.

It was a lot of fun to do, especially in the longer workshop form. You should absolutely build a talk/workshop! I've always admired how you developed your business into what it is today.

Loved your Jetbrains - Dapper presentation. You mentioned pulling SQL strings into a separate class. What have you found works best for your variable naming convention?

Amazing session by @1kevgriff and @kendallmiller at #CodeMash. Back to back sessions of great content!...

Hi Kevin. Read your article about SignalR and message delivery guarantees. Very informative! I think this is not SignalR's responsibility. Could implememt queues and have services determing which connected clients have pending messages for delivery. and process those.

Great talk today. Thank you!

ALL great tips for #aspnetcore folks! Loved it! Great job!

A real-world SignalR example, epic illustrations, lots of coding & more in Day II of @AlyssaNicoll & @EdCharbeneau's SignalR Crazy8's marathon w/ special guest, the awesome @1kevgriff! Catch the recording:

Props to @1kevgriff for a great talk about moving from https://t.co/NefBbSnUNt to https://t.co/NefBbSnUNt Core.

It was a great talk. I am considering whether a mastermind group would be right for me. Couldn't do that before your talk because I had never heard of them. Thanks for presenting!

It was amazing that after 5 hours of collaboration and coding the game was functional and looked awesome. Thanks for the great experience! @code live share is great.

Having trouble picking your next web framework? Check out this great episode of the Swift Kick Show with Kevin Griffin and Steve Albers where they talk about some lessons learned from the field.
