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. 

Asp.Net Core WebSockets Vs SignalR. Which should you use? (Full Course)

In this video we build 2 separate chat applications, one using Asp.Net Core WebSockets and the other using SignalR, allowing you to compare approaches and decide on which one works best for you. In both cases we build them with C#, .NET Core and JavaScript. You’ll also learn about:

- .NET Core Request Pipeline
- Request Delegates
- Asynchronous Programming in .NET (Async / Await)
- Introduction to Dependency Injection  

Today, we will go through what's new and hot in .NET 7. I know you're a busy developer, and keeping up with what is happening is hard. That's why I am telling you everything you need to know.

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. 

Microsoft has become the third US company to pass a market cap of $1 trillion. 

ASP.NET 5 is an entirely new web stack, rebuilt from the ground up to run fast, cross-platform, and completely configurable. Join David Fowler, one of the architects of ASP.NET 5, as he goes deep into the core of ASP.NET 5. What's the hosting model? How does the HTTP stack work? How do middleware and NuGet packages get pulled in to compose your application? How do the different servers (IIS, Kestrel, WebListener, etc.) actually work? How can you take advantage of these things to build lean, fast, optimized web apps on the new ASP.NET 5 platform? Come find out!

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. 

The creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup, shares some valuable life advice that, let’s face it, all developers, no matter their years of experience could use. According to Bjarne, ‘You can’t just do code’, you need to develop more skills if you want to be a well-rounded successful developer. Watch this unreleased interview if you want some inspiration and guidance on your developer journey from one of the OGs.
