8 videos

.NET on Azure for Beginners will teach you the basics of Azure and how to leverage its services and features to build amazing cloud applications. You will learn how to deploy web apps, work with storage and data, authenticate and use Managed Identity, harness the power of containers, and even deploy with GitHub Actions. By the end of this series, you will have the skills and confidence to start developing your own .NET applications on Azure! 

Security Guard is a set of roslyn analyzers that aim to help security audit on .NET applications 

this is just a list of ones that have officially supported C# libraries, or are written in .NET.  

 This effectively means that what looks like a very large chunk of .NET is now open source

It has only been about a year since .NET Core 1.0 RC came out. We are now getting close to .NET Core 2.0. We have been playing with .NET Core since the betas and feel like the quality of the 1.0 runtime was very good. Our only complaint has really been odd Visual Studio behavior. We would expect that with 2.0, the adoption of .NET Core is likely to skyrocket. 

Performance is a Key .NET Core Feature 

Rust – the Ultimate Programming Language?

What makes a good programming language? Syntax? Compiler? Tools and ecosystem? It is tempting to say “all of that” but in that case, why there are so many different programming languages? All these components are very important but they alone can’t make the language “good”. One of essential things is the purpose — like languages for rapid development, or development of distributed algorithms, or general purpose for high-level and low-level applications, or easy to learn, or safe to use and so on.

What’s new for performance in .NET Core and ASP.NET Core 3.0 – Ben Adams
One of the biggest advantages of using .NET Core (besides cross-platform support) is the drastic improvements in performance. Because the .NET Core team was able to make minor breaking changes in the runtime and Base Class Library (BCL), lots of stuff was implemented much more efficiently. In this session Ben will dive into the performance improvements in .NET Core in the 3.0 release: runtime changes, JIT changes, intrinsics and a deep dive into some of the improvements making it the best release yet!

The conclusion of the analysis:
C# Wasm AOT still has a long way to become a general and performant client side web programming platform. Note: The usage of the Uno.Wasm.Bootstrap toolchain may have affected the performance of some of the benchmarks. Thus, this analysis should not be regarded as a benchmark of the finalized product. However, note that the Uno platform is using ".NET 6 WebAssembly Mixed mode AOT/Interpreter" (source).
