In this webinar, we will show the benefits of using DevExpress Object-Relational Mapping Library - the eXpress Persistent Objects - with .NET Core 2. The presentation will quickly cover the basics for those new to DevExpress products, and will show how you can use our ORM to manage data in ASP.NET Core or Xamarin apps. 

The main theme for this ASP.NET Core release was to improve developer productivity and platform functionality with regard to building Web/HTTP APIs. As usual, we made some performance improvements as well.

One of the most exciting announcements during this year’s Connect(); event was the ability to embed .NET libraries into existing iOS (Objective-C/Swift) and Android (Java) applications with .NET Embedding.

This means that you can leverage your existing investments and apps without having to re-write them from scratch to start adding cross-platform logic and UI. In fact, during the Connect(); keynote I showed how I was able to extend the open source Swift-based Kickstarter iOS application with .NET Embedding and Xamarin.Forms Native Forms.
