I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to setup and install ASP.NET Core 2.1 on Linux. I did it for the first time in 15 minutes with no previous experience with .NET Core on Linux. I did it the second time, in production, in 5 minutes by following these instructions.

In this article, I show you how to install the .NET Core runtime on CentOS, how to get a sample ASP.NET Core project running on Kestrel as a service for reliability, and how to configure both the code and the firewall to enable remote access. Finally, I discuss what I would do differently for actual production usage. 

VSCode for the C# Developer - Tim Corey - NDC London 2023

VSCode is a nimble editor that can do just about anything. In this session, we will set up and configure VSCode for use in C# development. Then we will use it to build, debug, and deploy a small .NET Core web application to Azure.
Along the way, we will go over a list of the top C#-focused plugins for VSCode. Whether you are just getting started with VSCode or you are used to VSCode but want to start building C# projects, this session will get you up to speed fast. 

Today we’re excited to announce our support and collaboration on a new Stage 0 proposal to bring optional and erasable type syntax to JavaScript. Because this new syntax wouldn’t change how surrounding code runs, it would effectively act as comments.

We’d like to talk about why we’re pursuing this, and how this proposal works at a high level.
