**This event will be a double talk, Thinking Functionally with C# with Molly and Modernising a Legacy .NET with Kseniia** ⚠️ This will be an **in-person** event, the venue is **Goodlords Offices at Ratoon, 33-35 Fargate, Sheffield.** * 📌 **Google Maps**: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/7BigFQzWAbBXbRUW6](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7BigFQzWAbBXbRUW6) * **🚗 Parking**: The [APCOA car park on Eyre Street](https://www.apcoa.co.uk/locations/cities/parking-in/sheffield/the-moor-sheffield.html) is a five-minute walk. Agenda: * 🍕 Pizza/Drinks (18:15 - 18:30) * 🗣 Introduction (18:30) * 👉 Thinking Functionally with C# * 👉 Modernising a Legacy .NET Platform Without Stopping Delivery * 🍻 Social @ Pub (after the talk) **👉 Thinking Functionally with C#** Have you ever wanted to write C# code that's more supportable, robust and testable? I can't think of any reason you wouldn't! Functional programming is an alternative style of writing code to the Object-Oriented paradigm that most of us are taught at the beginning of our careers, and it's not only simpler to learn than OO, but also results in a better overall codebase. In this talk, I'm going to not only show you what the Functional Programming paradigm is, but I'm also going to explain how you can adjust your thinking and approach to problem solving to work in a functional manner. There won't be any hard theory or talk of list theory, just immediately useful, practical coding technique. **👉 Modernising a Legacy .NET Platform Without Stopping Delivery** Modernizing legacy systems sounds exciting in architecture diagrams. But reality is usually much messier. Tightly coupled services, shared databases, hidden dependencies, operational risk, delivery pressure, and years of accumulated technical debt make large-scale modernization far more complex than simply “moving to microservices” or “upgrading to .NET Core”. In this talk, I’ll share lessons learned from modernizing a large-scale .NET platform operating in a high-throughput, highly regulate
