We are very pleased to announce the launch of our Open Source project - Fast Report Open Source.
We are hoping to develop a friendly community of .Net Core developers who will share our eagerness to create fast, powerful and convenient reporting tool for Windows, Windows Server, Linux and MacOS.
We also encourage you to be a part of the global reporting team! Join us on GitHub: github.com/FastReports/FastReport
The first version of ASP.NET was released 17 years ago and during these years, it is fascinating to see how the ASP.NET team constructively reacted through these years to the major shifts happening on the web. Initially a platform that was closed and tried to hide and abstract the web; ASP.NET has metamorphized into an open source and cross platform - one that fully embraces the nature of the web. This is the first part of a series of 3 articles that will cover the history of ASP.NET from its launch to the latest ASP.NET Core releases.
Pet Store Fullstack project with React18, ASP.NET Core7 WebAPI, TypeScript and Entity Framework Core
In this video, we will create a Fullstack Pet Store project using React18, ASP.NET Core WebAPI (.NET 7),TypeScript and Entity Framework Core. The focus of this project is to show you how you can build a Fullstack project from 0 to 100 and build a simple CRUD application with ASP.NET Core WebAPI .
An easy way to perform background job processing in your .NET and .NET Core applications. No Windows Service or separate process required. CPU and I/O intensive, long-running and short-running jobs are supported. Backed by Redis, SQL Server, SQL Azure and MSMQ.
PM> Install-Package Hangfire
After installation, update your existing OWIN Startup file with the following lines of code. If you do not have this class in your project or don't know what is it, please read the Quick start guide to learn about how to install Hangfire.
public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
{
GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.UseSqlServerStorage("<connection string or its name>");
app.UseHangfireServer();
app.UseHangfireDashboard();
} 
A common question from customers is how to have an RPC (as in .NET Remoting and Windows Communication Foundation) experience on .NET Core. We are contributing to the gRPC (grpc.io) project to ensure gRPC will have first-class support for .NET developers.

} This is a Blazor library that wraps Chart.js. You can use it in both client- and server-side projects.
This continues my series on auditing SQL Server. The fist parts covered discovery and documentation, server level hardware audits and SQL Server engine level audits. This section examines database configuration audits.
The future of web-based software architectures is already taking form, and this time it’s server-rendered (again). Papa’s got a brand new bag: HTML-over-WebSockets and broadcast everything all the time.
Demonstrate how ASP.NET Core works deep (sometimes very deep) under the hood. In this series I will be studying the guts of MVC.
