Learn how you can save time by creating your own reusable .NET Core templates in just a few steps.

Do you ever develop prototypes, or starter projects/accelerators, that you’d like to use again in the future? A good way to do that is by creating custom templates for dotnet. Once completed, anytime you want to create a new project of that type in the future, you can key in “dotnet new ” and you’re off, complete with correct namespaces. You can even do conditional checks, or variable replacements. 

We are excited to release .NET 6 Release Candidate 2. It is the second of two “go live” release candidate releases that are supported in production. For the last couple months, the team has been focused exclusively on quality improvements. There are a lot of new features in the release, which only fully come together near the end. The team is currently validating end-to-end workflows to find the places where design intentions and technical reality don’t yet fully match. That’s led to teams tightening leaky pipes and paving paths all the way to their destination. 

100,000+ Books in Plain Text Format — This is targeted at people with machine learning use cases but could be ideal as a dataset for all sorts of things. It’s a 37GB download though. There’s also a 100GB file containing source code for similar purposes. 

EF Core vs NHibernate – 3.5 : 6.8.

The EF Core team is putting a lot of effort, and EF Core is slowly approaching parity with NHibernate. But it’s still lights years behind, and I don’t even mention all other, non-DDD related features. 

Postgres as a search engine

Build a hybrid search engine with semantic, full-text, and fuzzy search – all within Postgres

In any real world enterprise application, you end up writing a lot of similar, tedious boilerplate code for bookkeeping . This logic results in a data model where each table is adorned with a lot of non-domain specific columns – does this look familiar?
