.NET Core 3.0 is representing a major step for the .NET community. It is interesting to analyze what’s new in the API directly from the compiled bits. In this post I will first explain how to diff .NET Core 3.0 against .NET Core 2.2 with NDepend, and then how to browse diff results.

As a refresher, the Windows code base is approximately 3.5M files and, when checked in to a Git repo, results in a repo of about 300GB .  

Helper classes to set up and run as windows services directly on .net core. A ServiceBase alternative.  

It can be useful to create console apps to support backend processes such as data anonymisation or batch processing. This post demonstrates how to develop console apps in .NET, including support for built-in help, arguments, configuration, logging, dependency injection, and more. 

It's important to note that an Application Service doesn't have any business behaviour. It knows only what model to use but not how that model works. So, the AS knows which Aggregate to invoke, it knows about some Domain Services that might be required, but that's it.

Apparently, GitHub’s own syntax highlighting approach isn’t open source, but this takes a similar approach and is. It’s admittedly quite 'heavy' (due to using a WASM build of the Oniguruma regex engine) but that’s the price of quality. 

If you are running a recent build of Windows 10 (or 11) you would be surprised to learn a number of tools traditionally found in Linux are now bundled with Windows.
