Build a Modular Monolith with an AI Pair
Presented by Ivan Ball-llovera
Audience: Intermediate .NET developers, tech leads, architects
Build a .NET 10 modular monolith end to end with Claude Code as an AI pair, covering DDD aggregates, CQRS handlers, and the outbox pattern. You leave with architecture fitness tests that keep the boundaries honest long after the workshop.
Beyond the Basics: Starting Your Software Factory
Presented by Tim Rayburn
Audience: Intermediate to advanced
Design multi-agent orchestration systems that automate feature development with minimal human involvement. You build the pipeline, the guardrails, and the review gates that let a team ship while the agents do the routine work.
Keynote Speaker

Microsoft MVP and Principal Engineer
More Software, Different Work
Generative AI and coding agents are lowering the cost of producing software, giving organizations the ability to build more products, automate more work, and pursue ideas that were previously too expensive.
As implementation becomes cheaper, the value of developers shifts toward defining problems, directing agents, designing systems, validating outcomes, and owning what reaches production.
The result is a changing industry: new software economics, new team structures, new career paths, and new expectations for the people responsible for turning abundant code into trusted software.
What is the Atlanta Developers Conference?
The Atlanta Developers Conference is a community focused event by and for the developer community.
The Atlanta Developers Conference draws upon the expertise of local and regional developers, architects, and experts who come together to share their real-world experiences, lessons learned, best practices, and general knowledge with other interested individuals.
Foundations (Beginner & Student)
Entry-level sessions for students, early-career engineers, and career-switchers.
Building AI Applications & Agents
LLM apps, RAG, agents, tool use and MCP, evals and guardrails, across the major stacks (including .NET options like Microsoft.Extensions.AI, Agent Framework, and Azure AI Foundry). Product-building with AI.
AI-Assisted Development & Agentic Coding
How AI changes shipping software: coding agents, copilots (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, and others), and AI code review and refactoring.
Languages, Runtimes & Frameworks
C#, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Kotlin, and Java.
Web, Mobile & Cross-Platform Engineering
Modern web across Angular, React, Vue, and Blazor/ASP.NET Core. Kotlin, Flutter, SwiftUI, React Native, .NET MAUI.
Security & Software Supply Chain
