MySQL Connector/Net 7.0.4 is the first development release that expands
cross-platform support to Linux and OS X when using Microsoft's .NET Core
framework. 

Microsoft would never say it, of course, but truly the best “alternative solution” is Jetbrains Rider. It's head and shoulders above VS for Mac in every way. I learn more C# features through its recommendations than even reading Microsoft's development docs.

 The claims for JET are: Complete JavaScript development toolkit, Leverages popular open-source technologies, Full lifecycle management for template based SPA, Built in accessibility support, Support for internationalization (28 languages and 160+ locales)Rich set of UI components, Advanced two-way binding with a common model layer, Powerful routing system supporting single-page application navigation, Smart resource management

One of common concerns I faced in web/frontend development is libraries like “Angularjs, Bootstrap, JQuery… etc..” loading time, and how that affect on website performance, when you need to load several libraries to your website/page.. specially with low internet speed connections
