I hope you will join me on Saturday, February 17th, 2024, at 10:00 PST on C# Corner TV for show #97! For the first time, my very special guest will be Jodie Burchell, Data Science Developer Advocate.

I first met Jodie at the BuildStuff conference in Lithuania in 2023. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and discovered just how brilliant she is! I hope you’ll tune in to watch her session live, giving you the opportunity to ask questions.
