Here’s a summary of what’s new in this preview release:

• Request decompression middleware
• Output caching middleware
• Updates to rate limiting middleware
• Kestrel support for WebSockets over HTTP/2
• Kestrel performance improvements on high core machines
• Support for logging additional request headers in W3CLogger
• Empty Blazor project templates
• System.Security.Cryptography support on WebAssembly
• Blazor custom elements no longer experimental
• Experimental QuickGrid component for Blazor
• gRPC JSON transcoding multi-segment parameters
• MapGroup support for more extension methods 

There are various techniques that could be implemented to achieve asynchronous interactions among microservices. In this article, I shall talk about a use case where we would be using a message broker – RabbitMQ – and “Fanout” technique to implement the asynchronous messaging pattern in action.

In this video we will build a complete full stack Blog Web App using the new Blazor Web App with SSR with .Net 8 | Step by Step | From Scratch to End You will learn: New Static Server Side Rendering with Blazor, QuickGrid, Enhanced Navigation, Enhanced Forms, Stream Rendering, Image Preview & Upload, Identity Authentication, Interactive Server Render Mode for Admin Panel, and much more  

The people from InfoQ released a free (mini)book about .NET Core. In this book, five authors talk about the current state of .NET Core 3.0 from multiple perspectives. Each author brings their experience and ideas on how different .NET Core 3.0 features are relevant to the .NET ecosystem, both present and future. 

The two most important topics I want to focus on in this post are:

• Repository Management
• Versioning Strategy

We have different options for each of them: You can go with Monorepos or Polyrepos for hosting your code, and you can pick different versioning methods like Semantic Release, Manual Versioning, Global Versioning, etc. I'll talk about each of them in the next sections. 

Blazor Hybrid for Beginners
Join James Montemagno as he takes you on a journey of building your first Hybrid applications across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and Web with ASP.NET Core, Blazor, Blazor Hybrid, and .NET MAUI!  You will learn how to use Blazor Hybrid to blend desktop and mobile native client frameworks with .NET and Blazor.
In a Blazor Hybrid app, Razor components run natively on the device. Components render to an embedded Web View control through a local interop channel. Components don't run in the browser, and WebAssembly isn't involved. Razor components load and execute code quickly, and components have full access to the native capabilities of the device through the .NET platform. Component styles rendered in a Web View are platform dependent and may require you to account for rendering differences across platforms using custom stylesheets.
Blazor Hybrid support is built into the .NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) framework. .NET MAUI includes the BlazorWebView control that permits rendering Razor components into an embedded Web View. By using .NET MAUI and Blazor together, you can reuse one set of web UI components across mobile, desktop, and web.
