Today, we’re announcing .NET Core 3.0 Release Candidate 1. Just like with Preview 9, we’ve focused on polishing .NET Core 3.0 for a final release. We are now getting very, very close. We intend to release the final version on September 23 at .NET Conf.
Though many easy-to-use resources are available to help with refactoring, you may not know about them. Check out these 10 tips to help you with efficient refactoring.
Protocol Buffers are a language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols, data storage, and more, originally designed at Google (see).
protobuf.js is a pure JavaScript implementation with TypeScript support for node.js and the browser. It's easy to use, blazingly fast and works out of the box with .proto files!
Nebular is a great toolkit if you build Rich UI web-application based on Angular, and want to bootstrap your development using essential features out of the box. It provides you with a set of native Angular components, themeable components, authentication and security layers easily configurable for your API. At the same time, Nebular allows you to use it together with any other UI library you choose.
New Features
Comes with Git v2.19.0.
There are now fast, built-in versions of git stash and git rebase, available as experimental options.
The included OpenSSH client now enables modern ciphers.
The gitweb component was removed because it is highly unlikely to be used on Windows.
The git archimport tool (which was probably used by exactly 0 users) is no longer included in Git for Windows.
.NET 8 Preview 1 is now available! This is the first preview of the next major version of .NET, which will include the next wave of innovations for web development with ASP.NET Core.
In .NET 8 we plan to make broad investments across ASP.NET Core. Below are some of the areas we plan to focus on:
There are tonnes of exciting things happening in the Javascript space in 2015. The two most exciting things for me are React.js by Facebook and Aurelia by Rob Eisenberg (of Durandal fame).
A .NET guideline specifies that an application should never throw a NullReferenceException. However, many applications and libraries do. The NullReferenceException is the most common exception happening. That’s why C# 8 tries to get rid of it. With C# 8, reference types are not null be default. This is a big change, and a great feature. However, what about all the legacy code? Can old libraries be used with C# 8 applications, and can C# 7 applications make use of C# 8 libraries?
This article demonstrates how C# 8 allows mixing old and new assemblies.
C# Beginners Course
This school year, I give a course for young students at the beginning of their programming careers. They have no or very limited prior knowledge regarding coding. Therefore, we start at the very beginning and learn software development fundamentals using C# and .NET.
