Welcome to this short introduction to Blazor! This new Microsoft framework uses a unique approach to leverage your existing C# and .NET skills to create single-page applications running in web browsers. The technology that makes this possible is called WebAssembly, an open standard supported directly by current browsers on desktop and mobile platforms. You write C# and Razor code instead of JavaScript, and the compiled app runs natively on the client.

To reduce allocations and memory usage when serializing Json.NET 8.0 adds a new IArrayPool interface. Json.NET is already very lean when it comes to allocations, working with raw characters on array buffers instead of allocated strings, but those buffers can easily grow large, and a new buffer is created each time JSON is read or written. IArrayPool allows array buffers to be reused, similar to connection pooling with a database, or thread pooling in .NET. 

This is a list of common LINQ mistakes, which has grown out from reading code of others (and myself) - and using the results for training people new to .NET. 

The first Extreme Programming project was started March 6, 1996. Extreme Programming is one of several popular Agile Processes. It has already been proven to be very successful at many companies of all different sizes and industries world wide

Originally developed at Google, gRPC today is a remote procedure call (RPC) framework that has emerged as an alternative to RESTful and HTTP-based interfaces to connect remote components and specifically microservices. The new RPC framework was created in part to work with modern technologies such as HTTP/2 and Protobuf. 

One very important design aspect when creating a new table is the decision to create or not create a clustered index.  A table that does not have a clustered index is referred to as a HEAP and a table that has a clustered index is referred to as a clustered table.   

These are the issues addressed in 15.9.15:

• Updated signing of VC Redist packages to enable continued deployment on Windows XP. This fix may have an increased chance of requiring a reboot of the machine in order to install an updated VC++ Redistributable package.
• Fixed in issue where GoToDefinition does not work for JavaScript in script blocks of cshtml files.
• Calling pmr monotonic_buffer_resource release will corrupt memory.
• Fix for HRESULT E_FAIL build error in some C++ projects when upgrading to 15.9.13

Security Advisory Notices

• Git for Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability 

Note that FASTER is not directly comparable to Redis, as FASTER is not just a cache. FASTER can index and access data larger than memory, as well as take consistent checkpoints for recovery, more like a persistent hash key-value store + cache combination. FASTER is multi-threaded and latch-free as well, which gives it very high performance on a single machine.

Some recently completed and ongoing/future work items on our roadmap can be found at https://microsoft.github.io/FASTER/roadmap. For instance, in FASTER C#, we recently added log compaction, support for deletes, inline variable-sized allocations, and a read cache.
