Now, it seems like the rumor is going to be real. Yesterday there was a Windows 11 Build leaked online from a Chinese portal, and we got to know more about that build. Here's a quick look at Windows 11 that is expected to be released later this year. 

VSCode for the C# Developer - Tim Corey - NDC London 2023

VSCode is a nimble editor that can do just about anything. In this session, we will set up and configure VSCode for use in C# development. Then we will use it to build, debug, and deploy a small .NET Core web application to Azure.
Along the way, we will go over a list of the top C#-focused plugins for VSCode. Whether you are just getting started with VSCode or you are used to VSCode but want to start building C# projects, this session will get you up to speed fast. 

The survey will close at the end of April, with the results written up shortly after. If you’d like to know when this happens, follow me on Twitter or leave your email at the end of the survey. You’ll then receive a link to the results articles once they are published. 

This is my yearly step by step guide to becoming a web developer in 2019. We will look at nearly all aspects of web technology including the necessities as well as some of the new trends for 2019. 

This quick post will tell you how you can upgrade your Angular 6 project within 10 minutes to the new Angular 7 (at the moment of writing beta-7, edit: now major version).
