EasyCompressor is an open-source compression abstraction library that supports and implements many compression algorithms such as Zstd, LZMA, LZ4, Snappy, Brotli, GZip and Deflate. It is very useful for using along with Distributed Caching or storing files in database. 

ML.NET is a cross-platform, open source machine learning framework for .NET developers. We want to enable every .NET developer to train and use machine learning models in their applications and services.

Today we're thrilled to announce the release of ASP.NET Core 2.1.0! This is the latest release of our open-source and cross-platform web framework for .NET and it's now ready for production use. 

AsyncFixer helps developers in finding and correcting common async/await misuses (anti-patterns). AsyncFixer was tested with hundreds of open-source C# apps and successfully handles many corner cases.

This release will be shortly followed by R Tools 1.0 for Visual Studio 2017 in early May. RTVS is a free and open source plug-in that turns Visual Studio into a powerful and productive R development environment. 

Performance and Efficiency: Working with HTTP/3 

On June 23rd, the WebKit project froze its Subversion tree and transitioned management and interaction with our source code to git on GitHub. 

Caching can help improve the performance of an ASP.NET Core application. Distributed caching is helpful when working with an ASP.NET application that’s deployed to a server farm or scalable cloud environment. Microsoft documentation contains examples of doing this with SQL Server or Redis, but in this post,I’ll show you an alternative.

Problem / solution format brings an easier understanding on how to build things, giving an immediate feedback. Starting from this idea, the blog post will present step by step how to build

a web application to store your ideas in an easy way, adding text notes, either from desktop or mobile, with few characteristics: run fast, save on the fly whatever you write, and be reasonably reliable and secure.

This blog post will implement just the backend, WebApi and the database access, in the most simple way. Next blog post will cover the front end, using Angular. Then, there will be an additional article on how to increase the performance and the security. 

This Friday we published the Unity engine and editor C# source code on GitHub, under a reference-only license.
