WebAssembly is moving beyond the browser and is pitched to become a foundational element of modern cloud-native architecture. It lets any language compile to universal binaries that run on any OS or processor, robustly sandboxed and with great performance. This session covers a new approach to running .NET in WASI environments. You’ll see how your existing .NET code could be built into WASI-compliant modules, plus the opportunities this opens. This is experimental, not yet a committed product. 

A new version has been released! This adds better support for GitLab shorthands via an update to hosted-git-info, and better error handling and reporting when users encounter EACCES on their cache folder.

To get it, run:

npm install -g npm

ASP.NET Core 2.1 introduces new application host for Windows services. We can now run ASP.NET Core applications as Windows services with minimal effort. This blog post introduces how it is done and how to build and run Windows services on ASP.NET Core without any need for dirty hacks. 

In this tutorial, you'll build a Nest.js application to get yourself familiar with its building blocks as well as the fundamental principles of building modern web applications. You'll approach this project by separating the application into two different sections: the frontend and the backend. Firstly, you'll concentrate on the RESTful back-end API built with Nest.js. You'll then focus on the frontend, which you will build with Vue.js. Both applications will run on different ports and will function as separate domains.

Browser Preview for VS Code enables you to open a real browser preview inside your editor that you can debug. Browser Preview is powered by Chrome Headless, and works by starting a headless Chrome instance in a new process. This enables a secure way to render web content inside VS Code, and enables interesting features such as in-editor debugging and more!

With the start of a new season of Game of Thrones, folks are sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to see what’s coming. Unlike the Khaleesi who seems to be going nowhere fast, Node.js Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS) has made some moves recently. Over the last month, we released Node.js Tools 1.0 for Visual Studio, joined the vibrant open source community on GitHub , and created VM images so anyone can quickly get started with NTVS.
