This talk was given at Future Tech 2026.

You probably already know how powerful .NET Aspire is for backend services, but did you know it can supercharge your frontend development too? And I'm not just talking about .NET clients! In this session, we'll explore how .NET Aspire seamlessly supports frameworks like WinForms, WPF, and .NET MAUI. But why stop there? We’ll also dive into integrating with JavaScript frameworks like React, Vue, and maybe even beyond! Discover how to connect your client apps to the Aspire dashboard, unlocking service discovery, telemetry, and metrics to build smarter, more responsive applications. If you're ready to level up your frontend game with .NET Aspire, this session is for you!

Meet Gerald Versluis, software engineer at Microsoft, who wields the power of .NET MAUI to conquer any project that comes his way. With a career spanning over a decade, he's tackled it all, from frontend to backend and everything in between, using Azure, ASP.NET, and all the other .NET goodies. But it wasn't until he discovered the magic of Xamarin that he truly fell in love with mobile and cross-platform development, becoming an active community member and sharing his knowledge through writing, tweeting, and presentations. When he's not saving the world of software, you can find him on Twitter @jfversluis, blogging at https://blog.verslu.is, or making videos on his YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/GeraldVersluis.
