    Vibe Coding & Github Copilot Best Practices, with Sam Fernando

    AI assisted development is becoming a regular part of modern software teams. Tools like GitHub Copilot can help speed up delivery, reduce repetitive tasks, and free developers to focus on solving real problems. When used without the right practices though, they can introduce security risks, licensing concerns, and messy code that is hard to maintain. As organisations start exploring Vibe Coding, there is a growing need for enterprise controls that guide the safe and responsible use of these tools. Before teams dive in, companies should think about compliance checks, best practice guidelines, and clear development standards. This helps ensure consistency, reduces risk, and supports quality as AI becomes part of everyday workflows. You will leave with practical tips, real examples, and a simple checklist that will help you get the best out of AI assisted development in a safe, secure, and productive way.

    .NET SDK projects for SQL, with Ryan Rowston

    For years those who wished to define their database structure in a SQL project have suffered through arcane configurations and platform specific libraries. Many despaired of ever getting a modern alternative; some even turning to Entity Framework for their database deployments. However, there were always those of us who held onto hope for a more modern answer. This year, that hope was finally realised as SDK-style SQL projects were released. In this talk I’ll be demoing the new SDK-Style SQL project. This will showcase how to set up, build, and deploy the project. I’ll also show off a few extra tricks that you might find helpful.
