Microsoft Developer reposted this
I was skimming the Microsoft Build 2026 catalog, expecting the usual stuff. I was completely wrong. Then I saw these two sessions. First: Aspire for agents with Damian Edwards and David Fowler. I’ve been using and talking about .NET Aspire for a while now, so I’m really curious to see where they’re taking it next. Especially with agents becoming part of the story. Aspire already helps with a lot of the annoying parts of distributed apps: local orchestration, service discovery, observability, cloud deployment. Bringing that same developer experience into agent-based systems feels like the next logical step. Second: Union types in C# with Mads Torgersen and Dustin Campbell. This one is probably the session I’m most excited about. I’ve wanted better language-level support for this in C# for years. Results, options, state machines, API responses... so many things get cleaner when the language can model "this can be one of these known shapes" directly. Learning this from Mads and Dustin is about as good as it gets. This is what I like seeing from Build. Practical sessions that make you think: "Yep, this will change how I build software." I’ll be keeping an eye on these two. Learn more and register: https://fandf.co/4sVSpmG Secure $200 off with my code "ATXTMILAN" #MicrosoftPartner
