msdev.chat Microsoft Developer Chat on Slack

What's the point?

The goal is to gather people working with Microsoft technologies in the same place, so we can all learn from each other. (Also, I really miss the good old days of IRC.)

FAQ

Why do you need my e-mail?

Slack is invite based, therefore I need your e-mail to add you to the community. The invite sending tool above won't save your address.

Are there other active Microsoft slacks?

Yes, and we try to defer specific topics over to them. UWP talk at windev.slack.com and .net core talk at aspnetcore.slack.com.

Rules and etiquette

To ensure a pleasant atmosphere, there are a few simple rules:

1. friendly cooperation Harassment, insults, discrimination and cyberbullying have no place here.
2. no excessive self-promotion A link to your project(s) is of course welcome - you can even present your latest task at your company in detail. Howewer keep in mind that this community is not intended to be an advertising platform.
3. job offers Job offers are fine, but please include the location, the company, a link to details and keep it in the relevant room.
