Pre-Conference Workshop
11 November 2026
Our pre-conference workshops are back for Update Conference Prague 2026 Prague. We’re continuing with a second edition of practical, hands-on sessions where you can spend more time exploring a topic, working through real-world examples, and learning directly from experienced experts.
This year’s workshops will be led by Nick Chapsas, Sebastian Nilsson, Rodrigo Díaz Concha and Chris Woodruff. Together, they bring extensive experience across C# and .NET, AI, cloud, software architecture, and modern development practices. The workshops are a great opportunity to go deeper into specific topics before the main conference starts and take away knowledge you can use in your everyday work.
Workshops are available in person only and will not be recorded or available online. They are included with the Late Regular + Workshop conference ticket and are not available for separate purchase.
Vibe Coding for Production
by Nick ChapsasAI is changing the way software is built, but effective AI-assisted development is about much more than letting a model write your code. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll explore Agentic Programming as a disciplined engineering practice, using tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to build maintainable, secure and production-ready software while keeping control over architecture and quality. You’ll learn how to work with AI agents effectively, turn ideas into clear instructions, automate repetitive tasks and create workflows that can run for hours with minimal intervention.
Learn Next.js By Building a State-of-the-Art E-com in Fullstack React
by Sebastian NilssonIn this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn Next.js by building a modern, high-performance e-commerce application from the ground up. You’ll explore how Next.js combines fast static rendering with dynamic, interactive experiences and see why it has become a powerful choice for scalable full-stack React applications. Designed for developers with basic React knowledge, the workshop will give you practical experience and the skills to start building robust, production-ready web applications faster and more efficiently.
Deep Dive: Microsoft Agent Framework with .NET
by Rodrigo Díaz ConchaIn this workshop, you’ll take a deep dive into the Microsoft Agent Framework and .NET, from core APIs to advanced topics such as state and memory, RAG, tool calling, MCP, observability, and deployment. Together, you’ll build a working AI agent from scratch and explore practical patterns for creating solutions that are maintainable and ready for production. The workshop is designed for developers and software architects who want hands-on experience building agents with .NET and a better understanding of how the Microsoft Agent Framework fits into modern .NET applications.
Building Secure and Scalable Minimal APIs with ASP.NET 11
Chris WoodruffBuild fast, secure, and production-ready APIs with ASP.NET Core 11 Minimal APIs. In this hands-on workshop, you will create a complete RESTful API from scratch, covering everything from design and data access to authentication, security, testing, caching, and cloud readiness.
