Enter Rider. Over the last few years our team has adopted Rider as our primary IDE. It has an HTTP Client built in which has completely solved our problems with only a little work. 

This repo highlights the list of software engineering guidelines in general. Most of these are industry-wise conventions, thus using them will ensure that your code is easily readable by people who are not you.

Rider is faster, not 4x times faster (like seen in a comment) but noticeably faster like 20% to 50% faster. 

• New interaction utilities. Quickly set user-select with the new utilities and Sass map.
• New Reboot style for pointer cursors. We now include a role="button" selector in Reboot to set cursor: pointer on non-<button> element buttons.
• Examples are now downloadable. We’ve added a script to zip up and offer all our Examples as their own download from the docs.
• Saved ~5% from the compressed minified JS builds. 

Using UTC in Applications

Using UTC dates for data is a pretty common and necessary practice but it definitely adds some complexity when managing dates as you always have to remember to properly adjust dates. For display purposes this is pretty straight forward, but for query operations there’s a bit of mental overhead to ensure your date math adds up properly.

No easy solutions, but I hope this post and some of the helpers make life a little easier for you – I know they do for me. 

Three weeks ago, we released Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova Update 2. Last week, we introduced you to a new TACO CLI. Now we’re back with Update 3, which is automatically included when you install Visual Studio 2015. If you’re an existing user of Visual Studio 2015, you’ll receive a notification to download and install today.
