.NET Beginner Video Series - If you're looking for a fun introduction to .NET development for mobile, web, and more, our .NET video series are a great place to start. Check out the bite-sized videos for an introduction to different .NET technologies and interactive tutorials.  

In this article, I will share seven generative AI prompts that I have created and use as a .NET developer. These prompts can help us work more efficiently, tackle common problems, and improve our projects.

We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated .NET Conf 2024, a free, three-day virtual developer event celebrating the release of .NET 9. Co-organized by the .NET community and Microsoft, this annual tradition continues to grow, and we’re more excited than ever to bring you the latest innovations in .NET. Mark your calendars for November 12th to 14th, 2024, and prepare to be inspired by a wealth of knowledge, creativity, and community engagement.

One of the most exciting announcements during this year’s Connect(); event was the ability to embed .NET libraries into existing iOS (Objective-C/Swift) and Android (Java) applications with .NET Embedding. This is great because you can start to share code between your iOS and Android applications, and you can also share the user interface between your apps when you combine .NET Embedding with Xamarin.Forms Native Forms. This means that you can leverage your existing investments and apps without having to re-write them from scratch to start adding cross-platform logic and UI. In fact, during the Connect(); keynote I showed how I was able to extend the open source Swift-based Kickstarter iOS application with .NET Embedding and Xamarin.Forms Native Forms. You can check out the clip below.

.NET 6 will reach end of support on Nov 12, 2024. After that, Microsoft will no longer provide updates for .NET 6. Security fixes and technical support will no longer be available for .NET 6. You’ll need to update to .NET 8 before this date to stay supported.
