There has been a lot of talk lately about .NET Standard, both in the community and on Channel 9. But there is also still confusion about it. In this episode, Kathleen Dollard clears up some of this confusion. She and Robert chat about why .NET Standard was created, as well as how and when you should take advantage of it.
First it is important to recognize that the .NET Framework is not the same as .NET Core. The .NET Framework is effectively now in maintenance mode , and all innovation is occurring in the open source .NET Core now and into the future. So step one to remaining relevant is to understand .NET Core (and the closely related .NET Standard).
The bridge networking driver is the first driver on our list. It’s simple to understand, simple to use, and simple to troubleshoot, which makes it a good networking choice for developers and those new to Docker. The bridge driver creates a private network internal to the host so containers on this network can communicate. External access is granted by exposing ports to containers. Docker secures the network by managing rules that block connectivity between different Docker networks.
The built-in Docker overlay network driver radically simplifies many of the complexities in multi-host networking. It is a swarm scope driver, which means that it operates across an entire Swarm or UCP cluster rather than individual hosts. With the overlay driver, multi-host networks are first-class citizens inside Docker without external provisioning or components. IPAM, service discovery, multi-host connectivity, encryption, and load balancing are built right in. For control, the overlay driver uses the encrypted Swarm control plane to manage large scale clusters at low convergence times.
The macvlan driver is the newest built-in network driver and offers several unique characteristics. It’s a very lightweight driver, because rather than using any Linux bridging or port mapping, it connects container interfaces directly to host interfaces. Containers are addressed with routable IP addresses that are on the subnet of the external network.
As a result of routable IP addresses, containers communicate directly with resources that exist outside a Swarm cluster without the use of NAT and port mapping. This can aid in network visibility and troubleshooting. Additionally, the direct traffic path between containers and the host interface helps reduce latency. macvlan is a local scope network driver which is configured per-host. As a result, there are stricter dependencies between MACVLAN and external networks, which is both a constraint and an advantage that is different from overlay or bridge.
The current plan is that C# 8.0 will ship at the same time as .NET Core 3.0. However, the features will start to come alive with the previews of Visual Studio 2019 that we are working on.
Hackers are smart and users are not being able to cope with their pace of evolution. The result is malware outbreaks we get to know about frequently. Windows is the most widely used OS on Pcs. That makes it the most widely targeted OS too. What is an average user’s (by average I mean not too technical) defense in such case? The anti malware programs. Of course, you have to pay a decent price for your PC to be secured from latest malware derivatives, but what’s better than to get the security for no cost?
TL;DR: Nightly builds of the .NET Core Runtime for Ubuntu 16.04 on ARM are available here. These are "Hello World" tested on my Raspberry Pi 2 and Chromebook. Nightly builds of the SDK are expected in the next week or so.
Today we released our first public preview of Blazor , a new experimental .NET web framework using C#/Razor and HTML that runs in the browser with WebAssembly . Blazor enables full stack web development with the stability, consistency, and productivity of .NET.
When you create a .NET application in Visual Studio, it contains two build configurations: Debug and Release. But what does this mean exactly?
We were able to think of 35, so we compiled them into a list for you
