[Neil Taylor (digidol)]

Hello,

I am a lecturer at Aberystwyth University in Wales, UK. Entering in my own capacity. I have experience of .NET and ASP.NET Core. Interested to explore Graph and see how it can fit into my teaching.

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Pleasure to meet you Neil Taylor (@digidol)!

[MsDebbie8591]

Hello Neal, I would like to learn all that I can about the Power Platform. After much thought, I beleive it is the key-the application layer-to maximize the possibility of safety we all had before we knew anything about the internet. In other words, the application layer of the OSI Model is the weakest link in the OSI model... What do you think, group? Neal? Debbie Talley PS I am learning Python, Perl, PowerShell, on and on.

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Great to have you with us MsDebbie8591! In this hack we'll be focusing on .NET and Microsoft Graph. That said, Power Platform offers great opportunities for sure and there's a lot of room to integrate low-code Power Platform solutions with pro-code solutions built with .NET.

[Jay Michaud (jaymichaud)]

Hi everyone. My name is Jay Michaud, and I work in higher education as a system administrator. I spent the pandemic earning several Microsoft cloud certifications, and I think understanding and using the Microsoft Graph will complement those skills. I have extremely minimal experience with Microsoft Graph and am looking forward to learning!

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Great to meet you Jay Michaud (@jaymichaud)!

[gurditt singh (0xgurditt)]

Hey everyone, I am Gurditt and I'm a computer science undergrad. I've been trying to learn a lot of new skills recently, and I think GRAPH will be a great addition to those skills. I don't have any experience with it, and I'm really looking forward to learn with all of you!

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Great to have you with us @gurdittcancode! You're absolutely right about Microsoft Graph! Looking forward to hearing how you like it!

[Alexis Alcantara (blackhawk64)]

Hello friends!

My name is Alexis, from Mexico and I am a Microsoft enthusiast since a couple years ago hehe. I worked at a company that sells Microsoft solutions so I started working with C#, .Net, Azure and so on; it was a really good experience to been working on Microsoft based applications. Nowadays I still programming with .Net and other technologies (I'm a fullstack dev), but my actuall job doesn't requires me to use all Microsoft enviroment, so I thought it would be awesome to get envolved again with this things by myself. I really like to learn new things and this will add greats experiencies to my skillset 🥳

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Excellent choice! Great to have you with us Alexis Alcantara (@blackhawk64)! 👋

[Vedshruti Sarkar (Vedshruti-11)]

[Thorsten Jung (tajbender)]

Hi everyone!

My name is Thorsten Jung from Franconia, Germany. Born 1976, my first mouse held in hands was a commodore amiga mouse ✋ Being a child of the 90s, I took the hard way of learning MS-BASIC on amiga before learning 68k assembler for performance reasons 😁

Got my first Wintel machine in '97 while graduating from high school. From 2k on, I worked as an developer at a big company in Hamburg, Germany. There I made especially B2B solutions for the enterprise, while using Oracle DB, Unix Shell ("U weren't supposed to be here, u know?" - "Hello Bash, nice to see u again") and C/C++ for mainframes.

After some years, I got a burnout cause of manic depression, so I'm retired now. I love cats, music, xbox and hacking the world, cause coding was always my passion, not just a job. So finally, I work as a freelancer now, interested in web design, .net, windows, guis and stuff like that.

When time comes, I will create a Turrican like side scroller 🙌 🥇 In the meantime, I'm coding the electrifier project, that was halted several times due to my health condition.

Btw. I love GitHub. It's like facebook for passionate coders. Thx to everyone Microsoft Open Source (@microsoftopensource) for making this lovely place possible, and even better every then and when.

Thanks for reading,
regards,
tajbender

p.s.: feel free to ask

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Great to meet you Thorsten Jung (@tajbender)! Welcome to Hack Together!

[Caroline (kusscaroline)]

Hi Everyone!
My name is Caroline, am from London. I am currently writing a set of books for newbies- that was how I came across this challenge. So, here I am; I 've got to win the money, because I need it to continue paying for my Azure after free period, hehehe.
Any-hoh - what I am guessing here, is that the main aim of this project (after going round-and-round) is that you guys are trying to get people to stop using Azure AD Graph and to start using Microsoft Graph?

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Hey Caroline (@kusscaroline), great to have you with us! The goal of this hackathon is to get people experience building apps using .NET and Microsoft Graph. Microsoft Graph offers you access to many types of data stored on Microsoft 365. Check out https://graph.microsoft.com/ to learn more about what's possible. Looking forward to seeing your hack!

[Tarmo Urrio (tarzzi)]

Hi all!
I'm Tarmo from Finland, currently working as an developer for SharePoint (SPFx), Power Platform and different intranet solutions.
Last written C# lines were three years ago at IT-studies, so I'm here to get my C# and .NET skills back on track (or at least so that I don't forget everything totally... 😄)
Happy hacking y'all! 👏🥳

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Welcome to the hack Tarmo Urrio (@tarzzi)! Great to have you with us! 👏

[castlecreati]

Hello everyone.
Since the pandemic my job went from being a Training Service in a Professional Institute, to an IT department for which I had to raise an educational tenant and some infrastructure in Azure. I have since tried to learn as much as I can about Azure, Azure AD and Asp.Net Core, although I am still a beginner, and at 55 years old my brain cells are on crutches.

Microsoft Graph may be an essential element in my work. And this hackathon is a great way for me to get started with Blazor and take a look at it.

I have a question regarding the project submission - does midnight on March 15 refer to 00:00 on the 15th, or 24:00 on March 15 (or 00:00 on March 16)?

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Great to have you with us castlecreati! You've got the whole day of March 15 to hack and submit your hack by the end of day Wed, Mar 15.

[castlecreati]

Ok, .... Thank you !!!

[SomebodyToLove1337]

Hello all,

I have missed to introduce myself until now.
My name is Benedikt and I am really happy to participate in my first coding challenge. I've been in business as an IT administrator for about 20 years. But I haven't really been able to program yet, I've been working with scripts in Batch and PowerShell and a bit of webdesign.
But in the meantime I finished my first console app in C# and hope I manage to submit it tonight. I keep my fingers crossed that it will make it to the jury.

Unfortunately the challenge will be over soon.
But I really enjoyed the hack-together and I will continue to develop the app afterwards.

In any case, I'll stay on the ball with C# and .NET, even if I don't understand that much yet I have 1,000 ideas what I still want to implement with it. And since I've been working with Office 365 since 2010, Microsoft Graph will definitely play a big role in my applications.

Many thanks to the organizers.

Best regards
Benedikt

[Ayca Bas (aycabas)]

Hi SomebodyToLove1337, It's a pleasure having you in the challenge! Looking forward to seeing what you've built! 😊

Thanks,

finally we submit our Project!!!!! 👍

[Nguyen Huy Hoang (Waraemon)]

Hello everyone,

I forgot to connect until now.

I am a C# Developer in the banking industry. My main work is solo tasks with M365 development in an internal system using MS Graph API. I am happy to share my experiment with the community.

This is the first time that I have joined a hackathon, just taken part in CTFs before because of the security heavy in the Bank.

Many thanks to the organizers and this hack make me don't alone!

Best Regard,

[Waldek Mastykarz (waldekmastykarz)]

Awesome to have you with us @NagaDemon!
