However, it is clear that Microsoft’s future direction is in the Core space . Yes, the last update to the full .NET framework did include improvements for ASP.NET and WebForms, but clearly the future innovation and hard work will be in the new core frameworks like .NET core, ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework core, and whatever other cores come along in the future. 

In this section, I’m going to cover how you can use SignalR outside of a Hub. In most asp.net core applications, you will likely want to communicate with the connect clients from within your application but outside of a Hub. You can accomplish this by using the HubContext.

For example, an ASP.NET Core MVC Controller or any other class that is instantiated by ASP.NET Core’s Dependency Injection.

The HubContext allows you to send messages to your connected clients. It has many of the same features to communicate with clients as when you are inside of a Hub.  

Today, we’re releasing .NET 5.0 Preview 3. It contains a set of new features and performance improvements. We’re continuing to work on the bigger features that will define the 5.0 release. 

Here are some excellent one-page / single-page websites to check out. There are a variety of website types included in this showcase — online portfolios, restaurants, mobile apps, and more. I hope looking at these one-page sites will give you ideas and inspiration for your web design projects.

The open source Git project just released Git 2.37. Take a look at some of our highlights from the latest release. 

I have been asked several times over the past few weeks about what kinds of equipment I use for doing live streams from my home.  

NetEscapades.AspNetCore.SecurityHeaders 

A small package to allow adding security headers to ASP.NET Core websites. example :   

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
    var policyCollection = new HeaderPolicyCollection()
        .AddFrameOptionsDeny()
        .AddXssProtectionBlock()
        .AddContentTypeOptionsNoSniff()
        .AddStrictTransportSecurityMaxAgeIncludeSubDomains(maxAgeInSeconds: 60 * 60 * 24 * 365) // maxage = one year in seconds
        .AddReferrerPolicyStrictOriginWhenCrossOrigin()
        .RemoveServerHeader()
        .AddContentSecurityPolicy(builder =>
        {
            builder.AddObjectSrc().None();
            builder.AddFormAction().Self();
            builder.AddFrameAncestors().None();
        })
        .AddCustomHeader("X-My-Test-Header", "Header value");
    
    app.UseSecurityHeaders(policyCollection);
    
    // other middleware e.g. static files, MVC etc  
}
