We’re excited to announce the release of .NET Core 2.1. It includes improvements to performance, to the runtime and tools. It also includes a new way to deploy tools as NuGet packages.  

This is a guide that everyone can use to learn about the practice of front-end development. It broadly outlines and discusses the practice of front-end engineering: how to learn it and what tools are used when practicing it in 2019. 

Interested in learning Git? Well you've come to the right place! "Learn Git Branching" is the most visual and interactive way to learn Git on the web; you'll be challenged with exciting levels, given step-by-step demonstrations of powerful features, and maybe even have a bit of fun along the way. 

Almost overnight, Docker has become the de facto standard that developers and system administrators use for packaging, deploying, and running distributed applications. It provides tools for simplifying DevOps by enabling developers to create templates called images that can be used to create lightweight virtual machines called containers, which include their applications and all of their applications’ dependencies.  

With .NET 6 previews starting right around the corner, it is time to start getting excited for the new .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) that was announced at BUILD 2020. This year of .NET has a lot of amazing things for client application developers. Let’s review the highlights and set your expectations for the year ahead. 

This talk covers:

• What has changed and what remains the same compared to EF6

We are about to release Lucene.NET 4.8, and it's time to show what it can do, and how it can be done. 

For Linux users, Microsoft offers a new Skype app, which is a web app bundled with its own Electron engine. For those of you not familiar with Electron, it is a framework for creating GUI apps which uses Node.js on the backend and Chromium as the frontend. 

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.
