We’re excited to announce the release of .NET Core 2.1. It includes improvements to performance, to the runtime and tools. It also includes a new way to deploy tools as NuGet packages. We’ve added a new primitive type called Span<T> that operates on data without allocations. There are many other new APIs, focused on cryptography, compression, and Windows compatibility. It is the first release to support Alpine Linux and ARM32 chips. You can start updating existing projects to target .NET Core 2.1 today. The release is compatible with .NET Core 2.0, making updating easy.by bill-s, 2018-06-18T19:07:40.264Z
Open source ASP.NET Core 2.1 is out, and Architect David Fowler took to twitter to share some hidden gems that not everyone knows about. Sure, it's faster, builds faster, runs faster, but there's a number of details and fun advanced techniques that are worth a closer look at.by bill-s, 2018-06-18T22:03:16.869Z
If you’d like to learn ASP.NET Core, where to get it, how to install it, how to use it, and more, don’t miss this first course in a set of three, with experts Scott Hanselman and Maria Naggaga.by ThomasArdal, 2018-06-19T04:59:30.995Z
With the release of 2.1, we now have support for SignalR in ASP.NET Core. In this tutorial, we show you how to build a collaborative editor using SignalR.by bill-s, 2018-06-18T19:08:02.960Z
Many find it confusing, how to debug application in docker containers. In fact, it is reasonably straight forward, it just isn’t documented properly, especially in .Net land. Let’s go over what’s needed:by bill-s, 2018-06-19T18:33:30.830Z
Last month, at their Build event, Microsoft shared with us plans for .NET Core 3. Wile the accent was the transformation of desktop applications and support for Windows Forms and WPF, ML.NET – a framework for machine learning was introduced as well. If you take a look at the picture that has been around the web lately we may expect this module to be an integral part of the .NET Core 3. For now, ML.NET is just at in its infancy, and we are able to try its first incarnation. Just a few days ago 0.2 version of ML.NET was announced, so let’s see what is this framework all about.by leebrandt, 2018-06-19T18:53:58.162Z
I've been doing a lot with ASP.NET Core lately on my Linux Work Laptop. One of the drawbacks of using VS Code is there is no easy, right-click publish (Not that I would want to do that anyway). So I thought I'd put together a quick tutorial on setting up an ASP.NET Core app and using Environment variables in Azure to store secrets. https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/06/19/deploy-your-aspnet-core-app-to-azureby bill-s, 2018-06-18T22:57:07.068Z
Firstly I’ll start by mentioning that Visual Studio has a great debugger and so does VSCode. Also there are lots of very good (commercial) .NET Profilers and Application Monitoring Tools available that you should also take a look at. However, the rest of the post is going to look at some more single-use tools that give a even deeper insight into what is going on. As a added bonus they’re all ‘open-source’, so you can take a look at the code and see how they work!!by bill-s, 2018-06-18T23:07:47.916Z
I posted about Using .NET and Docker Together last year. With DockerCon 2018 being this week, it seemed like a great time to give you an update. Since my last post, we’ve enabled a set of Docker workflows with guidance and samples for .NET Core and .NET Framework, for development, CI/CD, and production. We also offer many more images for both Windows and Linux. If you haven’t taken a look at Docker and .NET recently, now is a good time. Docker and containers come up more and more in conversations that we have with .NET developers. It has become the way to deploy server applications for many people, due to its primary benefits of consistency and a light-weight alternative to virtual machines. In the DockerCon keynote, there were multiple .NET demos showing how you can use Docker for modern applications and for older applications that use traditional architectures. It has become a lot easier to containerize .NET applications using tools from both Microsoft and Docker. See Staying up-to-date with .NET Container Images for information about .NET container images.by bill-s, 2018-06-18T23:07:16.427Z
JavaScript’s history is somewhat checkered: it started as something we all did to make horrific, GeoCities-style Web sites, and it took a while for the language to shake its script-kiddie reputation as it gained popularity. Today, though, that past is all but forgotten as JavaScript dominates web development. (And JavaScript itself has evolved.) There are — as TJ VanToll points out in his DevReach talk featured below — 345 languages that will compile to JavaScript through various tools so that people don’t have to actually code in JavaScript. He explains that TypeScript initially seemed like a Very Bad Idea, in the same vein as CoffeeScript or Dart. Why not just stick with JavaScript in the first place? Why something that compiles to JavaScript? Despite VanToll’s admitted early skepticism, TypeScript turned out to be very useful, indeed.
