Visa requirements for UK conferences.

First you'll want to check if you need a visa to enter the UK.

  • Nationals of the EU, Switzerland, and EEA countries will not need a visa, and are free to work and conduct business in the UK.
  • Nationals from some designated countries such as USA may travel for tourist or business purposes under a visa exemption. The link above will detail what documents you need to provide in order to travel under a visa exemption.
  • Other nationals will need a visa.

The rules for allowable business travel under a visa exemption are covered by the same rules as those travelling under a vistor visa. If you will be travelling under a visa-exemption and the conference is covering your costs in any way you should make sure to read the relevant section below.

How .NET Standard relates to .NET Platforms
namespace Analogy
{
/// <summary>
/// This example shows that a library that needs access to target .NET Standard 1.3
/// can only access APIs available in that .NET Standard. Even though similar the APIs exist on .NET
/// Framework 4.5, it implements a version of .NET Standard that isn't compatible with the library.

public void Net45Application(INetFramework45 platform)
// define libraries you would need
var oauth = require('oauth')
var AWS = require('aws-sdk')
var cuid = require('cuid')
// define your OAuth-application credentials
var twitterConsumerKey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
var twitterConsumerSecret = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
// ensure AWS is requesting the nearest region

Beware the cost of "async"
// Don't do this, because you don't need async if you're only calling one
// downstream async method and returning its value, unprocessed.
public async Task<int> DoSomething(int x, int y)
{
return await SlowMath.AddAsync(x, y);
}
// Do this instead:
public Task<int> DoSomething(int x, int y)
{
