Using Visual Studio Code for C# (.NET Core) development  

Angular CLI 1.1 is out and here are some notable new features:

• outputs smaller and faster bundles by default,
• now comes with a new welcome screen when creating a new application,
• has better support for serving with a different public URL, and
• now supports fixing generated code according to your linting preferences, e.g. use double-quotes instead of single quotes for strings.

Along with over 50 fixes! 

There has never been a better time to be a .NET developer, you can now build Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows applications with .NET all in Open Source. In this session we will run through some of the new innovations including the .NET Framework updates, .NET Standard, Universal Windows Platform updates, .NET Core, managed languages and more. We will also review the updates to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code to make you a better developer, come see some of the latest productivity features in these tools including managing code style, searching your source and more.
 

These are the issues addressed in 15.8.1:

• Fixed an issue where Visual Studio would close unexpectedly when a browser window was closed while debugging a Web project.

You can download TypeScript 1.6 for Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2013, on npm, or as source.

We are thrilled to announce the preview release of C# Dev Kit, a new Visual Studio Code extension that brings an improved editor-first C# development experience to Linux, macOS, and Windows. 

How you shouldn’t implement base classes

public class Entity<T>
{

  public T Id { get; protected set; }

}

Motivation for such code it pretty clear: you have a base class that can be reused across multiple projects. For instance, if there is a web application with GUID Id columns in the database and a desktop app with integer Ids, it might seem a good idea to have the same class for both of them. In fact, this approach introduces accidental complexity because of premature generalization. 

There is no need in using a single base entity class for more than one project or bounded context. Each domain has its unique path, so let it grow independently. Just copy and paste the base entity class to a new project and specify the exact type that will be used for the Id property.
