  • Modern .NET Development- From WPF to ASP.NET and gRPC with Gábor Ruzsinszki [MVP]

    Modern .NET Development- From WPF to ASP.NET and gRPC with Gábor Ruzsinszki [MVP]
    2026/05/15
    What does modern .NET development really look like in 2026? How has the ecosystem evolved from traditional Windows desktop applications with WPF to cloud-native ASP.NET services, microservices, and high-performance gRPC communication? In this episode of the m365.fm podcast, Mirko Peters sits down with Microsoft MVP Gábor Ruzsinszki to explore the past, present, and future of .NET development — from legacy enterprise applications to scalable modern backend architectures. Gábor Ruzsinszki is a Microsoft MVP in Developer Technologies specializing in C#, software architecture, and modern .NET development. Before becoming a professional software architect, Gábor originally worked as an IT and programming teacher, helping students learn algorithms, databases, software engineering, and development fundamentals. That strong educational background shines throughout the episode as he breaks down complex technical concepts into practical, understandable insights for developers at every level.THE EVOLUTION OF .NET DEVELOPMENT The episode begins with Gábor sharing his personal journey into software development and how he first became interested in C# and the .NET ecosystem. Starting with Delphi programming before transitioning into C and C++, he eventually discovered C# during university and immediately recognized its potential as a more modern and developer-friendly language. Since then, he has spent more than a decade building applications with .NET across desktop, backend, and enterprise systems. Mirko and Gábor dive deep into how the .NET ecosystem has transformed over the years. What started as a Windows-focused framework has evolved into a high-performance, truly cross-platform development ecosystem capable of powering cloud-native applications, Linux services, microservices, APIs, web applications, IoT systems, and enterprise-scale backend infrastructures. Gábor explains why modern .NET is faster, cleaner, and significantly more flexible than earlier versions of the framework. One particularly fascinating discussion focuses on performance improvements inside recent .NET releases. Gábor shares a real-world example where upgrading an enterprise application from an older version of .NET to .NET 9 reduced processing time from forty-five minutes down to twenty-five minutes without major code changes — purely because of framework-level optimizations and performance improvements from Microsoft. WHY WPF STILL MATTERS IN ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT Even though WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) is now more than fifteen years old, many enterprise organizations still rely heavily on it for business-critical applications. Gábor explains why WPF became such a dominant desktop UI framework and why it remains relevant even today. Its powerful XAML-based architecture, flexibility, mature tooling inside Visual Studio, and massive community knowledge base still make it valuable for Windows-focused enterprise applications. The conversation explores how WPF influenced modern UI frameworks like MAUI and WinUI, both of which continue using XAML concepts introduced years ago with WPF. Gábor also discusses the challenges organizations face when attempting to migrate large legacy WPF applications toward newer technologies. Many enterprise systems are simply too large, too stable, or too business-critical to rewrite quickly. Mirko and Gábor also compare modern alternatives like .NET MAUI, Avalonia, Uno Platform, and WinUI. The discussion covers licensing considerations, cross-platform support, development experience, community maturity, and why developers should carefully evaluate their long-term platform strategy before starting new projects. ASP.NET CORE, MINIMAL APIS, AND MODERN BACKEND DEVELOPMENT A major focus of the episode is ASP.NET Core and the rise of modern backend architectures. Gábor explains why the software industry has shifted heavily toward SaaS platforms, distributed systems, APIs, and cloud-native applications. This evolution naturally pushed many developers away from purely desktop-focused development into scalable backend engineering using ASP.NET Core. The discussion also explores Minimal APIs — one of the most debated additions to modern ASP.NET Core. Some developers consider Minimal APIs revolutionary while others view them as unnecessary complexity. Gábor gives a balanced perspective, explaining that Minimal APIs are extremely effective for smaller services, lightweight APIs, and microservices, while larger enterprise systems may still benefit from traditional controller-based architectures. The episode goes deep into software architecture concepts including:Clean architecture and maintainable backend systemsHexagonal architecture and ports-and-adapters patternsMonoliths versus microservicesCloud-native development with .NET AspireScalable SaaS backend infrastructuresGábor explains why many startups prematurely adopt microservices before actually needing them and why a well-designed modular...

  • From Exams to Expertise- Building a Career in Power Platform with Nathalie Leenders [MVP/MCT]

    From Exams to Expertise- Building a Career in Power Platform with Nathalie Leenders [MVP/MCT]
    2026/05/15
    The Microsoft ecosystem is evolving faster than ever. Between AI, Copilot, automation, low-code development, cloud platforms, and the growing Power Platform ecosystem, many professionals are asking the same question: How do you actually build a long-term career in Microsoft technologies today? In this episode of the m365.fm podcast, Mirko Peters sits down with Microsoft MVP and Microsoft Certified Trainer Nathalie Leenders to explore the journey from certifications and exams to real-world expertise, consulting experience, and community leadership. Nathalie Leenders is widely known in the Microsoft community for her deep technical knowledge, her passion for Power Platform, her educational content, speaking engagements, and her strong presence within the Microsoft ecosystem. But her path into technology was not a traditional “developer from day one” story. Nathalie shares how she originally worked in IT service management and support roles before gradually moving into SharePoint, workflows, InfoPath, Power BI, and eventually Power Platform development. Her story is a powerful reminder that successful careers in tech rarely follow a perfectly straight line.HOW CURIOSITY AND LEARNING CREATED A MICROSOFT CAREER One of the strongest themes throughout this episode is curiosity. Nathalie explains how her willingness to continuously learn new technologies became the foundation of her success. Long before Power Platform became the global phenomenon it is today, she was already experimenting with SharePoint Designer workflows, automation scenarios, and business process optimization. When the opportunity arose to join an automation-focused team, she embraced the challenge even before fully understanding all the technical requirements. Rather than waiting until she felt “ready,” Nathalie learned by building real solutions in real environments. She discusses how tutorials, Microsoft Learn, YouTube videos, community content, and experimentation helped her grow into a Power Platform consultant capable of solving enterprise-scale problems. She also highlights how visual learning played a major role in her development and why practical hands-on work remains essential in modern IT careers. THE REAL VALUE OF MICROSOFT CERTIFICATIONS IN 2026 Are Microsoft certifications still worth it in 2026? Nathalie gives an honest and balanced perspective on certifications, exams, and technical learning paths. She explains that certifications themselves are not magic career shortcuts, but they can absolutely help people learn structured knowledge, build confidence, and open career opportunities when combined with practical experience. A major part of the conversation focuses on PL-400, one of the most advanced Power Platform certifications available. Nathalie shares how she intentionally challenged herself with the difficult Power Platform Developer certification early in her career, despite being told it might be “too difficult.” That challenge ultimately accelerated her technical growth and pushed her deeper into topics such as JavaScript, plugins, advanced Dataverse concepts, and Power Platform extensibility. Mirko and Nathalie also discuss common mistakes people make while preparing for Microsoft exams. Instead of simply memorizing practice questions, Nathalie encourages listeners to focus on understanding concepts, building real projects, experimenting with technologies, and connecting theoretical learning with actual business scenarios. She emphasizes that true expertise comes from combining certifications with implementation experience and continuous curiosity. WHY THE MICROSOFT COMMUNITY IS A CAREER SUPERPOWER Another major focus of this episode is the incredible impact of community involvement. Nathalie passionately explains how user groups, online community calls, Microsoft events, local meetups, and community-driven learning helped shape her career. She encourages beginners not to feel intimidated by technical communities and reminds listeners that most people in the Microsoft ecosystem are highly supportive and genuinely willing to help others succeed. The conversation highlights the Dutch Women in Tech community, local meetups, MVP networking, and the collaborative culture that makes the Microsoft ecosystem unique. Nathalie explains how even attending events quietly, listening to conversations, and asking small questions can become the starting point for massive career growth. Eventually, those same community interactions led her toward public speaking, blogging, mentoring, and becoming a recognized Microsoft MVP. POWER PLATFORM, LOW-CODE DEVELOPMENT, AND REAL-WORLD CONSULTING This episode also delivers deep insights into the Power Platform itself. Nathalie shares why so many people start with Canvas Apps and how Power Apps provides one of the most approachable entry points into modern application development. She explains how low-code development still requires real technical thinking, problem-solving skills...

  • PowerShell Is Fun — Automating things with PowerShell in multiple areas with Harm Veenstra [MVP]

    PowerShell Is Fun — Automating things with PowerShell in multiple areas with Harm Veenstra [MVP]
    2026/05/14
    PowerShell has become one of the most important automation tools in the Microsoft ecosystem, and in this episode of the m365.fm podcast, Mirko Peters welcomes Microsoft MVP Harm Veenstra to discuss why automation is no longer optional for modern IT teams. Harm shares his journey from helpdesk technician to automation specialist and explains how PowerShell transformed the way he approaches Microsoft 365, Azure, Exchange, Teams, Intune, and enterprise administration.WHY POWERSHELL BECAME ESSENTIAL FOR MODERN IT During the conversation, Harm explains how PowerShell stopped being “just scripting” and became a creative problem-solving platform. Once IT professionals understand the logic behind PowerShell objects, properties, and automation workflows, repetitive manual tasks can be replaced with scalable and consistent processes. Harm highlights that automation is not only about saving time — it is about improving reliability, reducing human errors, and allowing IT teams to focus on more valuable work instead of endless click-ops. The episode also explores how PowerShell evolved alongside Microsoft technologies. From the early Exchange Server days to today’s Microsoft Graph integrations, automation is now deeply connected to nearly every Microsoft cloud service. Harm explains how Microsoft Graph APIs and PowerShell modules give administrators complete control across Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. AUTOMATING MICROSOFT 365 AT SCALE One of the biggest topics in the episode is large-scale automation inside enterprise environments. Harm shares practical examples from real consulting projects where PowerShell was used to automate user onboarding, Microsoft 365 migrations, permissions management, account provisioning, Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 transitions, Teams meeting migrations, and hybrid identity processes. The discussion highlights how repetitive tasks like creating users, assigning licenses, configuring devices, syncing identities, and managing permissions become far more efficient when automated correctly. Harm explains that the true value of automation appears when organizations need consistent results across hundreds or thousands of users and devices. MICROSOFT GRAPH, APIs, AND MODERN AUTOMATION Mirko and Harm spend significant time discussing Microsoft Graph and why it has become one of the most powerful platforms for automation in Microsoft 365. Harm explains how administrators can monitor Graph API calls, discover backend actions performed inside admin portals, and use PowerShell to fully automate workflows that previously required manual configuration. The episode also covers how vendors outside the Microsoft ecosystem increasingly provide PowerShell modules for their products, making PowerShell a universal automation language across cloud platforms, infrastructure services, and enterprise tools. SECURITY, GOVERNANCE, AND SCRIPTING BEST PRACTICES Security plays a major role throughout the conversation. Harm explains why storing credentials inside scripts is one of the biggest mistakes administrators can make and why secure authentication methods such as Azure Key Vault, certificates, and secret management modules should always be used instead. The discussion also touches on governance, monitoring, version control, and documentation. Harm explains how GitHub workflows, revision tracking, testing pipelines, and proper documentation help teams maintain stable and secure automation environments over time. He emphasizes that good documentation is critical because automation should remain understandable for colleagues and future administrators, not just the original script author. AI, COPILOT, AND THE FUTURE OF AUTOMATION The conversation naturally moves into AI and Copilot. Harm shares a balanced perspective on AI-generated code and explains why understanding the logic behind automation still matters. While AI tools can assist with project planning, summaries, and development support, blindly generating scripts without understanding them can create long-term problems for administrators and organizations. Mirko and Harm also discuss the financial side of AI automation versus traditional scripting approaches, highlighting how PowerShell often remains the more efficient and cost-effective solution for many automation scenarios. THE POWER OF THE MICROSOFT COMMUNITY Another major theme in the episode is community. Harm explains how the Microsoft MVP community, blogging, knowledge sharing, and collaboration have helped him continuously improve his PowerShell skills. He describes how writing blog posts forces him to learn new topics deeply and why sharing automation knowledge benefits the entire IT ecosystem. The episode closes with a rapid-fire round covering favorite PowerShell modules, productivity shortcuts, Microsoft technologies, and Harm’s final advice for IT professionals: stop postponing learning PowerShell and start automating today.
