In this tutorial, I’ll show you how you can get up and running with ElasticSearch, Kibana and ASP.NET Core 2.1

Before we get started, let’s look at what ElasticSearch, Kibana and Serilog are. 

The SharePoint Framework is the latest developer option for SharePoint developers. A brand new framework built for both 1st and 3rd party developers focusing on enhancing the user experience on the SharePoint platform

This blog series provides a worked example, from beginning to end, showing you how to build a SPA with Vue.js, connect it to an HTTP API built with ASP.NET Core and to secure it with IdentityServer v4. 

the new ASP.NET offers these features from the very beginning of an application, meaning it is just as easy (or easier) to avoid the service locator pattern.  

23,765 people from 137 countries took part in the recent State of JS survey and while there are some common criticisms of the project, the results are nonetheless interesting and we’ll be digging into some in forthcoming issues. Standouts include:

- Svelte took the top frontend framework crown from React for developer satisfaction.
- Testing Library jumped straight to #1 for testing libraries.
- More developers than ever are producing PWAs or using WebAssembly.
- 86% of respondents are using VS Code to work on their code.

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. 

Technical Debt is a metaphor for shortcuts and hacks in software that make it more difficult to change and maintain than it could be with an optimal design. Many applications have accumulated a large amount of technical debt, and figuring out how to deal with it is a fairly common challenge for many developers 

The long-term-support (LTS) version 3.1 of Microsoft .NET Core Framework is slated to go out of support on December 13th, 2022. Microsoft recommends upgrading .NET Core 3.1 applications to .NET 6.0 to stay supported for the future, while the developers have mixed feelings about the .NET support policy.

I've been doing some work the last couple of weeks with Angular2. I really like it. Not just because it uses typescript, but also because it feels really natural and straightforward while working with it. No more string based dependency injection, or strange digest cycle stuff, it just seems to work. This last week I've migrated our beta-13 Angular app to the latest rc-1, and used that to keep track of the fun and easy stuff Angular 2 provides. Note though, that the application we're developing is really that complex, so I can only assume we'll run into more complex Angular2 features in the near future. For now, though, let me share some general tips and tricks we've encountered thus far (in no particular order). Oh, all examples are in typescript, since after using that, I really don't want to go back to plain old javascript (POJS?). 

At Microsoft Build Live today, we are sharing a first look at our plans for .NET Core 3. The highlight of .NET Core 3 is support for Windows desktop applications, specifically Windows Forms, Windows Presentation Framework (WPF), and UWP XAML. You will be able to run new and existing Windows desktop applications on .NET Core and enjoy all the benefits that .NET Core has to offer.
