Microsoft .NET History
A timeline to highlight the evolution of the .NET world and all its related components. 

.NET Core, the reinvention of the Microsoft .NET Framework as an open source, cross-platform development choice, is a key focus of the upcoming features planned for the Visual Studio IDE.

In conjunction with .NET Standard -- a spec detailing what .NET APIs should be available on all .NET implementations -- .NET Core retains compatibility with .NET Framework, Xamarin and Mono while letting developers use Windows, macOS or Linux machines to code for mobile, cloud and embedded/IoT projects.

While still primarily driven by Microsoft dev teams, .NET Core is hosted on a GitHub repository and is supported by the .NET Foundation, an independent organization created by Microsoft three years ago to improve its open source development and collaboration.

Peeking at the Visual Studio Roadmap (updated last week) reveals .NET Core figures prominently in upcoming functionality for the IDE, both in the near-term and long:  

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API 

Securing your application is bloody important. With so much jargon to sift through, it’s easy to get lost, for example there’s SSO, OAuth2, SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, Federated Identity, 2FA, & MFA. Just to name a few! 😱 In this talk, Anthony will take an in depth look at Federated Identity using OpenID Connect and OAuth2 Framework for ASP. NET Core using Duende IdentityServer (aka IdentityServer 5). You will walk away knowing how to navigate the security options and avoid the madness. 

WhatsApp had 450 million monthly users and just 32 engineers when it was acquired. Imgur scaled to over 40 billion monthly image views with just seven engineers. Instagram had 30 million users and just 13 engineers when it was acquired for $1 billion dollars.
This is the new normal: fewer engineers and dollars to ship code to more users than ever before. The potential impact of the lone software engineer is soaring. How long before we have a billion-dollar acquisition offer for a one-engineer startup? How long before the role of an engineer, artisanally crafting custom solutions, vanishes altogether?

In this post, I explain how to use Microsoft Report in MVC 4. Most of the developer use Microsoft Report (rdlc) for generating report  in asp.net application. Here I have explained how we can use Microsoft Report (rdlc) in MVC 

At Build 2023 back in June, Microsoft announced a new form of storage volume for Windows 11: Dev Drive. In October 2023, support for Dev Drive was shipped as a Windows Update and now available to anyone using the latest version of Windows 11. 

Overall, our RyuJIT investments have been focused on evolving the code base towards enabling better support for:

• Multiple code generation targets (instruction sets and operating systems),
• Improved optimizations,
• Better and more flexible code generation, and
• Open, flexible, and robust design and implementation. 

Flux is an architecture for creating data layers in JavaScript applications. It was designed at Facebook along with the React view library. It places a focus on creating explicit and understandable update paths for your application's data, which makes tracing changes during development simpler and makes bugs easier to track down and fix.
