Getting Started with .NET MAUI
105 videos

This playlist contains videos from me and others where we get ramped up about .NET MAUI. It ranges from videos about the .NET MAUI concept to hands-on videos with the .NET MAUI and .NET previews.  

Experiments with the new WASI workload in .NET 8 Preview 4
.NET 8 adds a new "wasi-experimental" workload, replacing the earlier Wasi.Sdk. This is a step towards giving .NET native, built-in support for server-side WebAssembly scenarios.
This video shows how to get started, then demonstrates how .NET+WASI creates possibilities for new kinds of apps and new ways to use .NET. 

A vulnerability exists in System.Data.SqlClient and Microsoft.Data.SqlClient libraries where a timeout occurring under high load can cause incorrect data to be returned as the result of an asynchronously executed query. 

I’ve been creating ChatGPT plugins and started thinking - wouldn’t it be fun to connect this to a Raspberry Pi and control some hardware? Turns out, it’s very easy to do. 

I am so excited about using Plotly packages in Power BI.

So What is Plotly: is an R package for creating interactive web-based graphs via the open source JavaScript graphing library :https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/
