SharpLab (previously known as TryRoslyn)
SharpLab is a .NET code playground that shows intermediate steps and results of code compilation
Languages
SharpLab supports three source languages:
- C#
- Visual Basic
- F#
in this article, I will show how to take a medium-small demo app written using Visual Studio 2013, ASP.NET 4.5, VC 5, and Entity Framework 6 and turn it into a working ASP.NET 5 app employing Visual Studio 2015, MVC 6 and Entity Framework 7. And the new app will happily run on either the .NET 4.6 CLR or the .NET Core CLR. Let's get started.
I've been doing some work the last couple of weeks with Angular2. I really like it. Not just because it uses typescript, but also because it feels really natural and straightforward while working with it. No more string based dependency injection, or strange digest cycle stuff, it just seems to work. This last week I've migrated our beta-13 Angular app to the latest rc-1, and used that to keep track of the fun and easy stuff Angular 2 provides. Note though, that the application we're developing is really that complex, so I can only assume we'll run into more complex Angular2 features in the near future. For now, though, let me share some general tips and tricks we've encountered thus far (in no particular order). Oh, all examples are in typescript, since after using that, I really don't want to go back to plain old javascript (POJS?).
show how easy it is to add real-time functionality to your web applications using ASP.NET Core SignalR. They discuss topics such as targeting with clients, SignalR transports, and options for running your SignalR application in the cloud.
Now, you can even leverage the Hub protocol spec is the available on GitHub if you're interested in creating your own SignalR client.

Why is .NET so Insanely Fast? with Stephen Toub | Keep Coding Podcast #7
Keep Coding Podcast
In this video I will have a chat with Stephen Toub, Partner Software Engineer at Microsoft. Stephen has been a core part of the performance advancements in .NET and in this episode I will try and get his perspective on why is .NET so fast.

GitHub Issues
The GitHub Issues integration allows you to search and reference your issues from the commit message box in VS, in response to this suggestion ticket. You can reference an issue or a pull request by typing # or clicking on the # button in the lower right side of the commit message text box. If you weren't already authenticated to access related issues, you will now be prompted to sign in to take advantage of this feature.
Line Unstaging
To continue improving our line-staging (aka interactive staging) feature, we've added unstage. You can now use the tool tip option to unstage changes, line by line, as requested here Unstage individual lines and hunks in a file - 4 votes
Arm64
We continue to build native support for Arm64 on Windows 11 for the most popular developer scenarios. We now support the .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) workload on Arm64 Visual Studio.
C++
- Available as a preview feature, you can now view Unreal Engine logs without leaving VS. To see the logs from the Unreal Engine Editor, click View > Other Windows > UE Log. To filter your logs, click on the "Categories" or "Verbosity" dropdowns. Since this is an experimental feature, feedback is greatly appreciated.
- You can now import STM32CubeIDE projects for embedded development within Visual Studio with File > Open > Import STM32CubeIDE project. This generates a CMake project with device flashing and debugging settings for STLink. You must have the STM32CubeIDE installed with the board support package for your device. More details available here.
- You can use the new CMake Debugger to debug your CMake scripts at build time. You can set breakpoints based on filenames, line numbers, and when CMake errors are triggered. Additionally, you can view call stacks of filenames and watch defined variables. Currently, this only works with bundled CMake, and projects targeting WSL or remote machines are not supported yet. We are actively working to add more support to the CMake debugger, and feedback is greatly appreciated.
Linus Torvalds talks AI, Rust adoption, and why the Linux kernel is 'the only thing that matters'
Switching to a more modern topic, the introduction of the Rust language into Linux, Torvalds is disappointed that its adoption isn't going faster. "I was expecting updates to be faster, but part of the problem is that old-time kernel developers are used to C and don't know Rust. They're not exactly excited about having to learn a new language that is, in some respects, very different. So there's been some pushback on Rust."
