Burke learns Blazor by porting a Vue.js app to Blazor

This summer, Burke and Jon are porting theurlist.com to Blazor - a real world JavaScript application written in Vue.js. Join them each week as they use Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code and GitHub Copilot to rebuild this app and try to tackle every frontend issue you might encounter along the way.
 

Visual Studio 2022 Preview 1 was released recently. While normally I hold off on talking about preview releases and other items that are going to change rapidly like .NET 6, I think it is important to know what VS2022 is all about so you know what to expect in the coming months. So in this video, we are going to see VS2022 in action, we will see what the new features are, and we will talk about what this means for VS2019. 

Entity Framework is Microsoft’s flagship Object/Relation Mapper, and the recommended way to access relational databases. Entity Framework Core is a complete rewrite from the “classic” Entity Framework, building on the new multiplatform .NET Core framework and adding the ability to connect to nonrelational data sources while keeping the features that made Entity Framework Code First so popular. In Entity Framework Core Succinctly, join Ricardo Peres to explore this new version of the O/RM, from getting set up to avoiding common traps.

A robust DevOps environment requires having continuous integration for every component of the system. But far too often, the database is omitted from the equation, leading to problems from fragile production releases and inefficient development practices to simply making it harder to onboard new programmers.

In this article, we discuss the unique aspects of databases, both relational and NoSQL, in a successful continuous integration environment.
