ts main advantages affect:

• Startup time
• Memory usage
• Access to restricted platforms (where no just-in time (JIT) compilation is allowed)
• Smaller size on disk 

TDD means letting your tests drive your development (and your design). You can do that with unit tests, functional tests and acceptance tests. Usually, you use all three. 

Angular 6 is out! The most outstanding changes are in its CLI and how services get injected. If you are looking to write your very first Angular 6 app—or Angular/Firebase app—in this tutorial, we’ll go over the basic steps of initial setup and create a small diary app. 

Immutability comes with a lot of benefits, but sometimes it can be a bit cumbersome to deal with when you only want to update some properties. Since the object is immutable, you need to create a copy with all the existing values and the new updated one.

I will show you how Records in C# 9 will greatly simplify this

Here are 13 techniques and tools that prove the power of lazy programming. The next time the boss tells you it’s time to roll up your sleeves and lean into the console, head to the nap room instead. 

• Support for .NET Core 2.0: you can now edit, run, debug, test, navigate and refactor your shiny new .NET Core applications.
  
• Rider 2017.2 comes with ReSharper 2017.2 as its engine for providing .NET support. This means a number of features announced with ReSharper 2017.2 are now available in Rider. 

AutoMapper 8.1 adds a major new feature - attribute-based maps. Attribute maps let you easily declare maps on destination types when you have straightforward scenarios. Instead of: 

public class OrderProfile {  
    public OrderProfile() {
        CreateMap<Order, OrderIndexModel>();
        CreateMap<Order, OrderEditModel>();
        CreateMap<Order, OrderCreateModel>();
    }
}

You can declare your type maps directly on the destination types themselves with AutoMapAttribute: 

[AutoMap(typeof(Order))]
public class OrderIndexModel {  
    // members
}

[AutoMap(typeof(Order))]
public class OrderEditModel {  
    // members
}

[AutoMap(typeof(Order))]
public class OrderCreateModel {  
    // members
}
