Today we are making Entity Framework 7 Beta 8 available. EF7 will be the next major release of Entity Framework and is currently in pre-release.
In this article, we'll walk you through updating an existing ASP.NET Core 1.x project to ASP.NET Core 2.0. Migrating your application to ASP.NET Core 2.0 enables you to take advantage of many new features and performance improvements.
I have seen all too many developers stagnate to the point where they are very effective in their chosen field (building web apps with jQuery Mobile on ASP.Net WebForms 3.5) and nearly useless otherwise
Even though C# 8.0 is still months away, planning has begun for C# 8.x. Some of these features are new, while others were previously considered for C# 8. And as always, this list is subject to change.
There isn't a simple dichotomy of remote versus co-located work, instead there are several patterns of distribution for teams each of which has different trade-offs and effective techniques suitable for them.
JSON serialization performance increases by about 35%. This helps with heavy data parsing and API requests. Less memory is allocated to
Span operations as well, and LINQ techniques such as Where and Select are now faster.
There are two supported choices of runtime for building server-side applications with .NET: .NET Framework and .NET Core. Both share a lot of the same .NET platform components and you can share code across the two. However, there are fundamental differences between the two and your choice will depend on what you want to accomplish. This article provides guidance on when to use each.
Performance counters are really important for monitoring and troubleshooting problems with your .NET applications. The full .NET Framework provides a wide array of performance counters that are very useful for troubleshooting application problems.
This is the first of an eight part series where I am joined by Phil Japikse to discuss design patterns. A design pattern is a best practice you can use in your code to solve a common problem. In this episode, Phil demonstrates the Command and Memento patterns.
Episodes in this series:
- Command/Memento patterns (this episode)
- Strategy pattern
- Template Method pattern (to be published 7/20)
- Observer/Publish-Subscribe patterns (to be published 7/25)
- Singleton pattern (to be published 8/8)
- Factory patterns (to be published 8/10)
- Adapter/Facade patterns (to be published 8/15)
- Decorator pattern (to be published 8/17)
Microsoft has announced that the .NET Core 2.0 will be considered "end of life" and thus no longer supported as of October 1, 2018. .NET Core 2.0 is considered a non-LTS release, and as such Microsoft only commits its support for three months after a successor has been released. In this case, with .NET Core 2.1 having been released May 31, .NET Core 2.0’s end has come.
