MSCC MSCC / NUGM meetup at FRCI

This year's first tech meetup was hosted by FRCI and organised by the Mauritius Software Craftsmanship Community in collaboration with the .Net User Group of Mauritius.

We started at 10h35 after a casual chat with some pastries and drinks.

JoKi greeted everyone as always, thanking our host, FRCI and reminding some house rules. He also pointed out that the Call for Papers for the Developers Conference is now open.

All the MSCC meetups till the end of the year are already scheduled on the community's Meetup page. The location for some of the meetups might change or be confirmed later on but the topics are there. So, anyone can have a glance and plan ahead which meetup they would most likely attend.

The first speaker Kevyn Bapset presented, "From Ideation to Implementation — A Design Thinking Journey."

We discussed about the prototyping phase and why it is helpful to present the client a prototype in monochrome and wireframes. It prevents any distraction caused by colors being too light, too dark or not being the correct color at all. Vidush and JoKi shared their experience on how clients reacted to initial color choices in a prototype, button size and even dummy data.

We had a short break after Kevyn's presentation.

The next speaker, Olivier André, spoke about "Implementing Design Systems for Scalable Products, A Guide to Streamlining Collaboration and Scalability."

Our last speaker of the day, Vidush Namah, talked about ".NET Blazor — A Practical Approach to Modular UI."
