ASP.NET 5 is an entirely new web stack, rebuilt from the ground up to run fast, cross-platform, and completely configurable. Join David Fowler, one of the architects of ASP.NET 5, as he goes deep into the core of ASP.NET 5. What's the hosting model? How does the HTTP stack work? How do middleware and NuGet packages get pulled in to compose your application? How do the different servers (IIS, Kestrel, WebListener, etc.) actually work? How can you take advantage of these things to build lean, fast, optimized web apps on the new ASP.NET 5 platform? Come find out!

Font Awesome gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS. 

Note that FASTER is not directly comparable to Redis, as FASTER is not just a cache. FASTER can index and access data larger than memory, as well as take consistent checkpoints for recovery, more like a persistent hash key-value store + cache combination. FASTER is multi-threaded and latch-free as well, which gives it very high performance on a single machine.

Some recently completed and ongoing/future work items on our roadmap can be found at https://microsoft.github.io/FASTER/roadmap. For instance, in FASTER C#, we recently added log compaction, support for deletes, inline variable-sized allocations, and a read cache. 

Those of you who worked with ASP.NET web forms will recollect that certain server controls such as DropDownList have a property called AutoPostBack. This property when set to true automatically submits the form to the server whenever the selection changes and raises some server side event. In modern web development people prefer to use Ajax over AutoPostBack but at times AutoPostBack is what you might need. To that end this article shows how AutoPostBack can be implemented in ASP.NET Core applications. 

This is a (non-comprehensive) guide for C# and .NET developers that are completely new to the Rust programming language. Some concepts and constructs translate fairly well between C#/.NET and Rust, but which may be expressed differently, whereas others are a radical departure, like memory management. This guide provides a brief comparison and mapping of those constructs and concepts with concise examples. 

C# vNext Features with Status
This page contains the list of features the C# team is currently working on and their progress status.
When a feature status is "Merged" this means that the work to implement the feature is complete and available in the next preview version. 

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.
