Wisconsin .NET User Group Meeting | 06/18/2025
2025-06-18 18:00 - 20:00 | TBD
June 18, 2025
The Wisconsin .Net User Group brings technology experts and business professionals together who are interested in .NET technologies. The Group provides members with a forum to hear local, regional, and top industry experts speak on technical presentations for professionals interested in learning more about full stack development with the entire spectrum of .NET technologies.
Join us for June’s meeting, where Cameron Vetter will be the guest speaker and discuss GitHub Coding Agent – Your New Teammate.
One of the most memorable moments from Build 2025 was watching Satya Nadella live-code on stage — but with a twist. He assigned an issue to his “Copilot” teammate, and just minutes later, a pull request was ready for his review. What once seemed like science fiction is now a reality I use every day.
In this session, we’ll take a deep dive into GitHub Coding Agent — a revolutionary capability that brings intelligent automation to your development workflow. Through a series of live demos, we’ll explore its features and functionality in real time.
We’ll begin by walking through how to enable GitHub Coding Agent in a GitHub Enterprise environment, including setup steps and cost considerations. Then, we’ll explore real-world scenarios inside a sample project, demonstrating how the Coding Agent accelerates development. Finally, we’ll finish by sharing some best practices for maximizing its performance.
By the end of this talk, you’ll be ready to start using GitHub Coding Agent in your own projects. You’ll learn how to make it a productivity multiplier and how to begin putting it to work immediately.
