Welcome to the newest newsletter from JetBrains, .NET Annotated Monthly! This newsletter is hosted by Rachel Appel, a Developer Advocate at JetBrains, with occasional updates from other JetBrains Developer Advocates. 

This ebook is no fluff–just a developer-to-developer breakdown of what’s in store for .NET in 2015. Included are code snippets and step-by-step tutorials on handy new features and techniques.  

We are going to talk about:

What you get out of the box with ASP.NET Core 2.0
How to use Postman to test your API

Testing the content negotiation
Restricting media types
More about formatters
Implementing a custom formatter
Consuming API programmatically 

Today we're going to take a look at TypeScript, a compile-to-JavaScript language designed for developers who build large and complex apps.

Visual Studio for Mac brings the developer productivity you love to the Mac. The experience has been meticulously crafted to optimize the developer workflow for the Mac.

Manage your code in Git repos, hosted by any provider, including GitHub and Visual Studio Team Services. Share projects seamlessly with developers using Visual Studio across Windows and Mac. 

Here's how to connect to a SQL server using Android and iOS, with a look at design-time, and how to set up Direct Mode for Android.

I'm using ASP.NET Core 2.1 which makes local SSL super easy. After installing from http://dot.net I'll "dotnet new razor" in an empty folder to make a quick web app. 

This sample shows you how to use SQL Server Language Extensions to create a .NET Core C# program that receives two columns (ID and text) from SQL Server and a regular expression as an input parameter. The class returns two columns back to SQL Server (ID and text).
