.NET 6 Preview 1 is now available and ready for evaluation. This is the first preview of .NET 6, the next major update to the .NET platform. .NET 6 is expected to ship in November of this year, and will be a Long Term Support (LTS) release. 

Welcome to the July 2019 release of Visual Studio Code.

.NET Core 3 will be supported in Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio for Mac and Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio 2019 Preview 2 was released last week and has support for C# 8. The Visual Studio Code C# Extension (in pre-release channel) was also just updated to support C# 8. 

In this article I will explain some general purpose queries. I think each developer should have knowledge of these queries. These queries are not related to any specific topic of SQL. But knowledge of such queries can solve some complex tasks and may be used in many scenarios, so I decided to write an article on these queries. 

Bash Scripting on Linux

The Bash Scripting Essentials series will teach you everything you need to know in order to write effective bash scripts in Linux. The series starts with some introductory concepts, with each episode building on the last. By the end of this series, you'll be able to write your own bash scripts! The Bash Scripting series was one of the very first tutorial series on Learn Linux TV ever, so it's basically where it all started. Now, it's been remade and brought into the modern age. The new version of this series covers everything the original version did, with additional concepts added throughout.

The next version of npm, v7, has been completed and will be shipping with Node.js v15 this week. The new release adds several features requested by developers including support for Workspaces. 

Last week, at ng-conf, the Angular team at Google provided the web developer world with an update on the state of Angular 2. They were joined on stage by a member of the TypeScript team, Jonathan Turner, to also announce that Angular 2 will be built using TypeScript. Jonathan then demoed a preview of the upcoming TypeScript 1.5 release via an Angular 2 sample application.
