Join us on May 21st for an exciting in-person meetup! 🎉 Enjoy sessions by Abed Matini on Prompt Engineering and Matthew Leibowitz on Hybrid Apps. Huge thanks to Accso & OfferZen for sponsoring! Register here: meetup.com/cape-town-ms-d… #AI #MAUI #Microsoft #Community

🎉 We're thrilled to announce our #DevConf2025 Cape Town community partners: AWS Community South Africa, BSides Cape Town, Investec Dev, Cape Town MS Developer User Group, Tech Leadership, Umuzi, and VirtualJUG (vJUG)! Together, we're strengthening the developer ecosystem in the Mother City. 🙌 #CommunityMatters

So looking forward to this! Since AI is the only thing left in the world, learning how to get it to work for you is now essential. But, I am hoping to show that we can add even more value with hybrid. Hybrid apps with hybrid data with hybrid AI. Make sure to come out!

I just want to share a message to any Microsoft folks affected by recent layoffs, please reach out if there is anything I can do. Leverage my network, let me know if can help in someway.

Almost time! I was using AI to make my slides but had to start over as it started making up things and using weird formatting. So hopefully after this session I will learn how to prompt. Good thing Abed is going first so I got time to re run the AI.

I’m at Microsoft Build this week! Doing Labs, Demos, breakout sessions… all the things! Make sure to come say hi!

Kicking off the evening with Abed and prompt engineering! Thanks Cape Town MS Developer User Group for organising tonight and #Accso for the venue and snacks!

Prompting is easy! Just let the model know who he is, what you want and how you want it. Abed at Cape Town MS Developer User Group is giving us all the secrets to master the AI.

I've been tinkering with improved #XAML syntax for #dotnetMAUI apps and focusing on AppThemeBinding. The results are less text and faster page loads without any loss of functionality! mrlacey.com/2025/05/improv…

I started the game Riders Republic, via TrueAchievements trueachievements.com/game/Riders-Re…

This was a very fun day. I had to study up on stuff and then used it myself the next week at work. Also super excited that some of you were not listening and using my in your assignments 😂🤓

Almost at the Agent Hall! I stayed up all night playing AI so I hope that my session is going to work. Slides are almost done! Looking forward to meeting my fellow agentic humans. Wooooo!

Wow, the @CPTMSDUG GitHub Copilot Bootcamp was amazing. So much new, so much agent. Thanks all for coming and sharing and joining in with the learning!

I started the game Rocket League, via TrueAchievements trueachievements.com/game/Rocket-Le…

Almost at the door to #Accso for another Cape Town MS Developer User Group event. Gonna be a blast watching Allan Pead 🇿🇦 #mvpbuzz show us how to lock some agents in a Foundry and fight it out. Then I am going to follow with some markdown files... 😎 See you there! #GitHubCopilot #AIFoundry #Agentic
