I’ve started looking at using MediatR for my domain events implementations. To that end, I created a quick sample project using ASP.NET Core 2.0. Overall things were pretty easy to get going. If you haven’t used MediatR before, or if you’re looking for a quick intro on how to set it up for ASP.NET Core, keep reading (if not, how did you get here? Was the title not clear?). 

class Customer
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
    }

{
   "Id":1,
   "FirstName":"John",
   "LastName":"Doe"
}

class Customer
{
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string FirstName { get; set; }
        public string LastName { get; set; }
        public Car Car { get; set; }
        public IEnumerable<Location> Locations { get; set; }
}

class Location
{
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Address { get; set; }
        public int Zip { get; set; }
}

class Car
{
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Model { get; set; }
}

{
      "Id":1,
      "FirstName":"John",
      "LastName":"Doe",
      "Car": {
                     "Id":1,
                     "Model":"Nissan GT-R"
               },
      "Locations":[
                            {
                                  "Id":1,
                                  "Address":"30 Mortensen Avenue, Salinas",
                                  "Zip":93905
                            },
                            {
                                  "Id":2,
                                  "Address":"65 West Alisal Street, #210, Salinas",
                                  "Zip":95812
                            }
                      ]
}

MauiReactor is a component-based UI Library built on top of .NET MAUI that enables you to build applications with code first MVU component based architecture. James has Adolfo, the libraries creator, on to talk about the project and show off some stunning UI. 

We recently published a BenchmarkDotNet-based benchmark on GitHub: https://github.com/DevExpress/XpoNetCoreDemos/tree/master/ORMBenchmark.

We used it to test the performance of the following Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) libraries for .NET Framework 4.6.1 and higher:

• Entity Framework 6.0.2 (EF 6);
• Entity Framework Core 2.0.3 (EF Core); 
• eXpress Persistent Objects™ 18.1.3 (XPO).  

• Class Library (.NET Framework)
• Class Library (.NET Standard)
• Class Library (.NET Core) 

Most Famous OSS developer in .NET world

If you are a .NET developer, you must have heard/used a nuget package called Newtonsoft.Json (or JSON.NET). The package is maintained by a legendary developer named James Newton-King.

Finally, the backend runs on .NET Core runtime by default on macOS and Linux, instead of the Mono runtime. Moving to .NET Core runtime delivers noticeable performance improvements, a lower memory footprint, and multithreaded NuGet restore.
