Redis, the popular in-memory data store, is switching away from the open source three-clause BSD license. Instead, in a move that is clearly aimed to prevent the large cloud providers from offering free alternatives to Redis’ own hosted services, Redis will now be dual-licensed under the Redis Source Available License (RSALv2) and Server Side Public License (SSPLv1). Under this new license, cloud service providers hosting Redis will need to enter into a commercial agreement with Redis. The first company to do so is Microsoft.

With the rise of multi-core processors and multi-threading, Asynchronous Programming has become an essential tool for building efficient and responsive C# applications. Fortunately, C# provides a rich library for making Asynchronous calls. However, this complex and advanced topic can be challenging for many developers. 

.NET Tools are great, and we've known them for a while in .NET Core as ".NET Core Global Tools", but often we don't want these tools not to be shared globally across our machine. This is where "Local Tools" come in handy, introduced in .NET Core SDK 3.0. 

.NET Core 3.0 is representing a major step for the .NET community. It is interesting to analyze what’s new in the API directly from the compiled bits. In this post I will first explain how to diff .NET Core 3.0 against .NET Core 2.2 with NDepend, and then how to browse diff results. 

At work, we are planning to migrate our WPF application from .NET Framework 4.7 to .NET Core 3.0. The main reason for doing so is that it was always a big pain to organize the updates of the .NET Framework on our customer machines. So being able to bundle .NET Core with our application is a big plus for us. Then, for sure, we are looking for the performance improvements brought by .NET Core and finally the new capabilities brought by the fast pace of innovation of .NET Core.
