Presentations I give
Jimmy Bogard's conference presentation archive — the MediatR/AutoMapper guy. Covers .NET architecture topics like microservices, integration testing, CQRS, and vertical slice architecture. Useful if you want to see the reasoning behind the patterns he's popularized, straight from the source.
The integration testing example (BuildingTheUltimateSafetyNetWithIntegrationTests) is genuinely good — real Aspire AppHost setup, proper WebApplicationFactory usage, JWT test helpers, and tests hitting actual infrastructure rather than mocks. The DSL example using Irony shows a complete grammar-to-LINQ-expression pipeline with AST nodes, not just a toy. Topics track real pain points: microservice disasters, Azure Pipeline setup from scratch, container DI patterns.
It's a pile of .pptx files you can't read on GitHub — most presentations are opaque blobs unless you download and open them locally. The code samples vary wildly in age; BuildingExternalDSLs has packages.config and targets .NET Framework with NUnit 2.5 from 2012. No speaker notes or written transcripts accompany most decks, so the code examples lose context without the talk. Treating a Git repo as a file share for binary PowerPoint files means no diffing, no history that means anything.
