Bridge Network Driver

The bridge networking driver is the first driver on our list. It’s simple to understand, simple to use, and simple to troubleshoot, which makes it a good networking choice for developers and those new to Docker. The bridge driver creates a private network internal to the host so containers on this network can communicate. External access is granted by exposing ports to containers. Docker secures the network by managing rules that block connectivity between different Docker networks. 

Overlay Network Driver

The built-in Docker overlay network driver radically simplifies many of the complexities in multi-host networking. It is a swarm scope driver, which means that it operates across an entire Swarm or UCP cluster rather than individual hosts. With the overlay driver, multi-host networks are first-class citizens inside Docker without external provisioning or components. IPAM, service discovery, multi-host connectivity, encryption, and load balancing are built right in. For control, the overlay driver uses the encrypted Swarm control plane to manage large scale clusters at low convergence times. 

MACVLAN Driver

The macvlan driver is the newest built-in network driver and offers several unique characteristics. It’s a very lightweight driver, because rather than using any Linux bridging or port mapping, it connects container interfaces directly to host interfaces. Containers are addressed with routable IP addresses that are on the subnet of the external network.

As a result of routable IP addresses, containers communicate directly with resources that exist outside a Swarm cluster without the use of NAT and port mapping. This can aid in network visibility and troubleshooting. Additionally, the direct traffic path between containers and the host interface helps reduce latency. macvlan is a local scope network driver which is configured per-host. As a result, there are stricter dependencies between MACVLAN and external networks, which is both a constraint and an advantage that is different from overlay or bridge. 

, What Every JavaScript Developer Should Know About ECMAScript 2015 is the book I'd like to read about the new features in the JavaScript language. The book isn't a reference manual or an exhaustive list of everything in the ES2015 specification. Instead, I purposefully selected what I think are the important features we will use in everyday programming.  

Many developers I talk to are either using Docker actively or planning to adopt containers in their environment. Containers are an important trend in our industry and .NET is part of that. Microsoft and Docker have been working together so that you’ll have a great experience using Docker with .NET apps. 

.NET Core 3.0 is representing a major step for the .NET community. It is interesting to analyze what’s new in the API directly from the compiled bits. In this post I will first explain how to diff .NET Core 3.0 against .NET Core 2.2 with NDepend, and then how to browse diff results. 

EtwProfiler is the new diagnoser for BenchmarkDotNet that I have just finished. It’s going to be released as part of 0.11.2. Soon! It allows to profile the benchmarked .NET code on Windows and exports the data to a trace file which can be opened with PerfView or Windows Performance Analyzer. 

• Removed the AJAX pattern to focus even more on MVC best practices
• Removed Facebook login to reduce problems for first-time readers
• Updated the Docker deployment instructions to reflect the latest practices
• A new jacket design
• Many typo fixes and small suggestions! 

Xamarin.Forms 4.0 is here with an array of new features and capabilities to help you create amazing, multi-experience apps that perform efficiently and look great. Xamarin.Forms 4.0.0 also introduces Shell—a simplified, navigation-aware container that makes it easier to build mobile applications. The upgrade path to 4.0 and Shell is also designed to be as simple as possible. Finally, the latest release adds extended support for faster renderers and a unified image source feature to help you create better apps for your users. 

In this course, we're going to be covering the fundamentals of Angular 2 to get you up & running as fast as possible. 

Bringing WebAssembly to the .NET Mainstream - Steve Sanderson, Microsoft

Many developers still consider WebAssembly to be a leading-edge, niche technology tied to low-level systems programming languages. However, C# and .NET (open-source, cross-platform technologies used by nearly one-third of all professional developers [1]) have run on WebAssembly since 2017. Blazor WebAssembly brought .NET into the browser on open standards, and is now one of the fastest-growing parts of .NET across enterprises, startups, and hobbyists. Next, with WASI we could let you run .NET in even more places, introducing cloud-native tools and techniques to a wider segment of the global developer community. This is a technical talk showing how we bring .NET to WebAssembly. Steve will demonstrate how it runs both interpreted and AOT-compiled, how an IDE debugger can attach, performance tradeoffs, and how a move from Emscripten to WASI SDK lets it run in Wasmtime/Wasmer or higher-level runtimes like wasmCloud. Secondly, you'll hear lessons learned from Blazor as an open-source project - challenges and misconceptions faced bringing WebAssembly beyond early adopters. [1] StackOverflow survey 2021
