Tiny Devices, Big Potential: .NET & C# IoT at .NET Conf 2025 SA Durban

Tiny Devices, Big Potential: .NET & C# IoT at .NET Conf 2025 SA Durban

Thank you. Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart – thank you to everyone who came out to my session at **.NET Conf 2025 Community Edition South Africa** in Durban.

“Tiny Devices, Big Potential: .NET & C# IoT” is one of those sessions I love giving, because it lets me show off what I think is one of the coolest parts of the .NET ecosystem – .NET for microcontrollers. And the audience in Durban made it absolutely special.

The Room Was Electric

The interaction and engagement throughout the session was next level. Questions, reactions, the energy in the room – it made the whole experience so much fun. That kind of audience is what every speaker hopes for, and you delivered. Thank you so much!

The DMs Keep Coming

The DMs have been rolling in since the session, and honestly, it is so awesome to see all the interest in **electronics, C#, robotics, IoT, education, and AI**. The community enthusiasm for this space is real, and it is growing fast.

If I haven’t gotten back to you yet – I will! Your messages mean a lot and I want to make sure I get to every one of them.

Get the Sample Code

All the sample code shown during the session, plus links to get started with **.NET nanoFramework**, **AWS IoT**, and **Azure IoT**, are all in one place:
