Live! 360: AI-Powered .NET Development with Claude & Claude Code—Become the Builder, Not Just the User
Move beyond consumer chat tools and learn to wire AI into production .NET at this hands-on virtual seminar, December 8-9, 2026. Spend two days going deep with Anthropic's tools, guided live by Microsoft MVP and "Breakpoint Show" host Chris "Woody" Woodruff. Day 1 puts Claude Code in your terminal and IDE across a real project—architecture, refactoring, testing, and debugging. Day 2 has you writing idiomatic C# against the Anthropic API: streaming chat, tool-calling agents, RAG pipelines on a vector database, and custom MCP servers that turn your own .NET services into AI-native tools. No Python wrappers, no toy demos—just working, production-quality code. Whether you're adding AI features to your ASP.NET Core apps or leading your team's AI adoption, you'll walk away as the person who knows exactly how to build it.
