April 21, 2018 at 13:35Open broadcast of the main hall of DotNext 2018 Piter
Tomorrow hundreds of .NET specialists will gather in St. Petersburg to listen to reports and communicate for two days in a row. But even if you are not in Petersburg these days, you can still listen to many reports. In addition to the paid online broadcast, giving access to what is happening in all the halls, we also make the broadcast of the first hall open to everyone .
What reports were broadcast live? A complete list with descriptions is under the cut, and in front of it we note a couple of things. According to the results of the previous two DotNext, Dylan Beatty turned out to be an obvious favorite of the audience, so he will open DotNext with a speech on how the usual technologies work. And just yesterday, when the report was completely ready and agreed upon, Dylan discovered the intricacies of the KOI8-R encoding and is now enthusiasticallyremakes part of the presentation! Andrei Alexandrescu will
replace him in the main hall - and this is a figure of such a scale that we ourselves cannot resist taking a selfie with him. And the next one will be Sasha Goldshtein , who is also not required to represent him to the affiliates. In general, the line-up picked up starry.
First day (April 22)
10:30 Apps, algorithms and abstractions: decoding our digital world
Imagine the picture: you are riding a train, your smartphone is making a sound, you take it out of your pocket and see: a new message! This is a video of a cat falling from a chair! You answer “LOL”, put the phone back in your pocket ... But do you wonder what it was worth to make it all work? Inside even the cheapest smartphone, there are thousands of innovations, algorithms, inventions - but how do they work? How were they developed? What will the next generation of algorithms and applications look like?
In this report, we will be able to immerse ourselves in the technologies thanks to which our ordinary everyday things work, and we will unearth the algorithms and abstractions that create our new digital world. We will look at everything: network addressing algorithms, frequencies in cellular networks, shortest distance search optimization, wavelet compression, fingerprint recognition, media encoding methods and so on. After this report, you will no longer be able to treat your mobile phone as before.

12:00 Fastware
Optimization - that is, code acceleration - is one of the main ingredients of modern computing technologies. The speed of light is limited, so you can no longer accelerate the frequencies of the processors; on the other hand, matter consists of separate atoms, therefore it is impossible to make circuits smaller than they are being produced now. So, for modern tasks such as self-driving machines or general artificial intelligence, acceleration methods will have to be invented with your own brains.
This report talks about two new examples at different ends of the spectrum of optimization techniques. The first technique is related to iron: you can replace brunches with calculations. Modern processors work much better with serial code than with unpredictable brunches, we will exploit this fact. The second example will be about the classical algorithm, which can be improved using statistics on the distribution and locality of the data, and this improves its theoretical and practical performance.

13:30 How containers work
In modern hype trends, containers are next to blockchain and machine learning, but nevertheless, few people are well versed in them yet. In this report, containers are shown as they really are: ordinary processes, but having a certain amount of isolation, a resource quota, and all this is sprinkled with security sandboxing on top. You will understand why containers so interesting and useful as namespaces isolate containers from each other, how to fumble resources between containers, how throttling works, how it all relates to the .NET runtime, and how to write a minimal application on .NET Core that will not drag with you unnecessary 500 megabytes of user libraries and utilities from Ubuntu.

15:15 Distributed transactions have died, long live distributed transactions!
As “everyone knows”, distributed transactions died with the advent of the Internet era. Books on MTS, MSDTC, J2EE are gathering dust in museums while programmers write cloud services in the fight against eventual consistent data warehouses like Cassandra and Mongo. For financial transactions, immortal SQL remains.
The team working on the Orleans framework is no stranger to cast doubt on generally accepted “truths.” She has already shown that distributed objects, when used correctly, can be successfully used to build efficient, scalable applications, offering a convincing alternative to the Erlang / Akka approach to the actor model.
Support for scalable distributed transactions is one of Orleans' latest innovations to refute popular misconceptions. Sergey Bykov will talk about her, as well as about other advanced functions of the framework.
Sergey BykovSergey Bykov began the Orleans project at Microsoft Research and continues to lead its development in open source at the Xbox division. Prior to joining Research, Sergey worked in various Microsoft groups, from BizTalk and Host Integration Server to embedded operating systems for POS and Bing. The depressing situation with development tools for cloud services and distributed systems prompted him to take up the Orleans project in order to qualitatively increase the productivity of programmers in this area.
16:45 Write your own C # static code analysis tool to drive business rules
So, you wrote a bunch of code and spent six months studying, understanding and improving it, over and over again. Code is something living, and no documentation is better than the code itself. Therefore, we are starting to use a bunch of tools that allow us to do manual code verification and fully understand what happens to objects of a certain type, which parts of the code really need dependencies, or which APIs are used in which parts of the code base. This is all the more difficult the more code came to us from third-party developers.
The Roslyn platform gives us the opportunity to write tools to understand the source from the point of view of business rules, to extract from them enough information to identify patterns of use and to apply security practices.
The idea is to improve the quality of code analysis tools by independently creating such tools and analyzers for Visual Studio that will take into account the features of the developed product.

The second day (April 23)
10:30 Expression Trees in Enterprise Development
For most developers, the use of expression tree is limited to lambda expressions in LINQ. Often we do not attach any importance to how the technology works “under the hood”.
The purpose of the report is to demonstrate advanced techniques for working with expression trees:
- elimination of duplication of code in LINQ;
- metaprogramming;
- code generation;
- transpilation;
- test automation.
After the talk, you will know how to use expression tree directly, what pitfalls the technology has prepared, and how to get around them.

12:00 Microservice Interaction over HTTP / 2
HTTP / 2 not only speeds up the loading of web pages, but also optimizes the interaction of microservices in a distributed system. Our infrastructure team used HTTP / 2 in the new service and faced interesting problems. You will find a fascinating fail story about performance, magic constants and unmanaged memory leaks.
The purpose of the report is to share the experience of using HTTP / 2 to optimize interservice interaction in the conditions of the .NET framework and Windows.
The report will be interesting to fans of detective stories about productivity; microservice developers for .NET; People who do stress testing of HTTP services.
Keywords: .NET, C #, HTTP / 2, WinDbg, microservice architecture, long polling, load testing.

13:30 Advanced .NET debugging techniques from a real world investigation
You know how painful it is: here you have released a new version, and the service has begun to behave very strange, and there is no one to fix it besides you. But where and how to start?
Criteo serves 150 billion requests per day across 4,000 front-end servers. As part of the Criteo performance team, speakers have a very good understanding of how to investigate critical issues in these types of environments.
In this report, we look at insights, errors, false traces that are in reality.
We will go through all phases of the study of the problem, starting with early detection and up to fixing the problem, and all the techniques used will be described in detail. Including but not limited to:
- Using metrics to detect errors;
- What we can or cannot get from the profiler, on the basis of which good assumptions can be made;
- Immersion in CLR data structures using a decompiler, WinDBG and SOS, to verify assumptions;
- Automatically analyze memory dumps using ClrMD, and how to write your own tools when WinDBG is unsuccessful.
