Generative AI: Large Language Models – Szenarien, Use Cases und Patterns für Businessanwendungen
Jenseits des ChatGPT-Hypes taucht Christian Weyer in die Welt der Large Language Models (LLMs), Daten und APIs ein und konzentriert sich darauf, wie Sie AI-Funktionalität sinnvoll in Ihre Architekturen und Anwendungen integrieren können. Wir werden pragmatische Szenarien und Use Cases untersuchen, die das Potenzial von LLMs (wie GPT oder Llama) demonstrieren und erörtern, wie AI-Techniken in bestehende Lösungen einbezogen werden können. Die Teilnehmer erhalten erste Einblicke sowohl in LangChain als Python-Toolkit als auch Semantic Kernel als .NET-basiertes SDK. Zudem werden wir nicht nur Closed-Source-Systeme (wie OpenAI) betrachten, sondern auch Open-Source-Optionen evaluieren, um unterschiedlichen Anforderungen gerecht werden zu können (und nein, dieser Talk-Titel und Abstract wurde nicht von ChatGPT geschrieben).
Christian Weyer ist Mitgründer & CTO der Thinktecture AG. Seit knapp 30 Jahren liegt sein Herz immer bei den neuesten Technologien und wie man sie sinnvoll für moderne Softwarelösungen einsetzen kann.

Discriminated Unions in .NET: Integration with Frameworks and Libraries
A key aspect of adopting any new pattern is understanding how it interacts with the surrounding application infrastructure. When using Discriminated Unions, questions arise: How can a Result union be serialized to JSON? How can an OrderState union be persisted using Entity Framework Core? This article explores practical integration strategies with common .NET frameworks.

Advanced Value Object Patterns in .NET
While basic value objects solve primitive obsession, complex domain requirements need sophisticated modeling techniques. This article explores advanced patterns using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions to tackle real-world scenarios: open-ended dates for employment contracts, composite file identifiers across storage systems, recurring anniversaries without year components, and geographical jurisdictions using discriminated unions.

Discriminated Unions in .NET: Modeling States and Variants
Domain models often involve concepts that exist in multiple distinct states or variations. Traditional approaches using enums and nullable properties can lead to invalid states and scattered logic. This article explores how discriminated unions provide a structured, type-safe way to model domain variants in .NET, aligning perfectly with Domain-Driven Design principles while enforcing invariants at the type level.

Value Objects in .NET: Enhancing Business Semantics
Value objects are fundamental building blocks in Domain-Driven Design, serving far more than simple data wrappers. This article explores their strategic importance in bridging technical code and business concepts, enforcing domain rules, and fostering clearer communication with domain experts. Learn how to build robust aggregates, cultivate ubiquitous language, and encapsulate domain-specific behavior using Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions in .NET applications.

Pattern Matching with Discriminated Unions in .NET
Traditional C# pattern matching with switch statements and if/else chains is error-prone and doesn't guarantee exhaustive handling of all cases. When you add new types or states, it's easy to miss updating conditional logic, leading to runtime bugs. The library Thinktecture.Runtime.Extensions solves this with built-in Switch and Map methods for discriminated unions that enforce compile-time exhaustiveness checking.
