we’re about half-way through the release now. Most of the features are now included, but there are still many changes that we expect in the next few previews to complete experiences and round off rough edges that still exist. Take care.

Develop and deploy databases in Visual Studio with migration scripts.

Want to work on databases in Visual Studio alongside your application? Feeling the pain of managing and deploying database changes manually? Then ReadyRoll's the tool for you.

It generates numerically ordered SQL migration scripts that sit inside your project and take your schema from one version to the next.

You can add them to version control, use them to build and release, and automate database and application deployments, all in one process.

What’s new for performance in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core 3.0 – Ben Adams
One of the biggest advantages of using .NET Core (besides cross-platform support) is the drastic improvements in performance. Because the .NET Core team was able to make minor breaking changes in the runtime and Base Class Library (BCL), lots of stuff was implemented much more efficiently. In this session Ben will dive into the performance improvements in .NET Core in the 3.0 release: runtime changes, JIT changes, intrinsics and a deep dive into some of the improvements making it the best release yet!

Today, we are releasing updates to the .NET Core SDK, included in Visual Studio 2017 RC. You can also install the .NET Core SDK for use with Visual Studio Code or at the command line, on Windows, Mac and Linux. Check out the Visual Studio blog to learn more about this Visual Studio 2017 update. 

My last post investigated ways to build a .NET Core desktop/console app with a web-rendered UI without bringing in the full weight of Electron. This seems to have interested a lot of people, so I decided to upgrade it to newer technologies and add cross-platform support.

The result is a little NuGet package called WebWindow that you can add to any .NET Core console app. It can open a native OS window (Windows/Mac/Linux) containing web-based UI, without your app having to bundle either Node or Chromium. 

1/ It's probably not the first thing you think of, but when we started .NET (COM+) in the late 90s, C# didn't exist yet. We were working on it at the same time as the CLR and the framework. So, you might wonder, what language was being used to generate IL and write the BCL? 

With this newest Blazor release we’re pleased to announce that Blazor is now in official preview! Blazor is no longer experimental and we are committing to ship it as a supported web UI framework including support for running client-side in the browser on WebAssembly. 

webpack is arguably the most popular bundler right now and this is the first major release in over two years. We get big improvements to caching (and therefore performance), reduced bundle sizes with better tree shaking, and a variety of breaking changes to prepare for the future (automatic Node polyfills are gone, for one). 

Aurelia is one of the best frameworks that we have ever seen in terms of software design, hence, we decided to write a bunch of tools for its developers to pave the way for further usage.

aurelia-toolbelt is that, in which we tried to gather the best libraries in Javascript world together in aurelia fashion. Writing custom-elements, value-converters, and so on. We tried not to invent the wheel, so most of the work is a wrapper, or bridge( am not sure whether the way that we coded can be called bridge or not), around other libraries.

• Its is utterly important for us to provide a link as a reference to the libraries used, or inspired from, so that other developers can visit their product and decide on their own to use which, besides it's one way that we can respect the time and effort of those programmers.

• All libraries used in aurelia-toolbelt are open-source and free of charge; most of which are  MIT , however we will provide definition whenever it differs.
