Video killed the Bibliophile - Video vs Books

Book lovers, aka bibliophiles, are 6 feet under… If you want to learn something new, most people just Google it, others watch a video. I have a fond history with books, and they helped me build SSW.

The beginning of SSW Rules

When I first started SSW I read a business book that helped me change my way of thinking. I was stuck being busy and I only worked in the business, not on the business. The book was called The E-Myth. This was before the internet was widely popular, so the “E” refers to “Entrepreneur”…. not “Electronic.”

My learning…. I learnt that if you really want to have a good business, it is important to consider what steps you previously took to solve a problem and work out a way to make those steps consistent and repeatable – e.g. a process… This is probably where my Rules came from… or was it the army, or being an accountant…? I’m not sure. 🤔

Online User Group Cloudy with a Chance of Mobile: .NET Everywhere with MAUI | Matt Goldman

When Microsoft first launched .NET, the vision was to offer a viable alternative to Java and the JVM - a runtime and associated language(s) that could run anywhere. With MAUI, that original dream is becoming a reality.

Whether you're building for cloud, mobile, browser, desktop, IoT devices, servers, embedded systems...the list goes on and on - you can write code in .NET and it will run anywhere. With a dash of .NET, a pinch of Blazor, and a sprinkling of MAUI, you no longer need to React to any funny angles - you can have your .NET cake and eat it too.

In this talk, Matt welcomes you into his full stack .NET dream, and shows you how you can build anything in .NET, and run it everywhere.

Matt Goldman is an SSW Senior Software Architect. Drawing on a combination of hands-on experience and enterprise governance practices, Matt is able to make connections between business and technology to deliver user and business focused outcomes.

Matt has worked in IT for 15 years, with a background in infrastructure and management, and has delivered security policies, IT strategies and disaster recovery plans to a number of high profile national and multi-national clients.

Throughout his career Matt has enjoyed scripting and programming and used these skills to enhance his work in other areas, but has now turned to developing software full-time, specialising in .NET Core, Angular, Xamarin and Azure as well as security and authentication.
