One of the most exciting announcements during this year’s Connect(); event was the ability to embed .NET libraries into existing iOS (Objective-C/Swift) and Android (Java) applications with .NET Embedding. This is great because you can start to share code between your iOS and Android applications, and you can also share the user interface between your apps when you combine .NET Embedding with Xamarin.Forms Native Forms. This means that you can leverage your existing investments and apps without having to re-write them from scratch to start adding cross-platform logic and UI. In fact, during the Connect(); keynote I showed how I was able to extend the open source Swift-based Kickstarter iOS application with .NET Embedding and Xamarin.Forms Native Forms. You can check out the clip below. 

Practical C# Design

Learn about object-oriented and functional programming using C# and .NET. Improve your skills while avoiding pitfalls and common mistakes.
Videos in this list are covering C# syntax, coding practices and patterns applied in object-oriented and functional design. 

This is a practical guide for implementing the Domain Driven Design (DDD). While the implementation details rely on the ABP Framework infrastructure, core concepts, principles and patterns are applicable in any kind of solution, even if it is not a .NET solution. 

Gulp is an easy-to learn, easy-to-use JavaScript task runner that has become an industry standard. This book offers an entry to Gulp for experienced developers. Author Kris van der Mast offers practical examples and clear descriptions, making Gulp Succinctly the perfect entry point for developers interested in Gulp. 

This article will show you how to implement a reverse proxy in C# and .NET Core to overcome specific needs that you could hardly solve with an out-of-the-box software. You can find the code of the final project on this GitHub repository.

Immutability comes with a lot of benefits, but sometimes it can be a bit cumbersome to deal with when you only want to update some properties. Since the object is immutable, you need to create a copy with all the existing values and the new updated one.

I will show you how Records in C# 9 will greatly simplify this

You can download .NET 6 Preview 1, for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

.NET 6 has been tested with Visual Studio 16.9 Preview 4 and Visual Studio for Mac 8.9. We recommend you use those builds if you want to try .NET 6. 

If you want to ensure that the right code is loaded at the right time (and only loaded when you need it), you can use TypeScript code to organize your code into modules. As a side benefit, managing your script tags will get considerably easier

With Microsoft embracing open source and cross-platform compatibility (not least because it helps to get more people using Azure ) you can be pretty confident that Core is here to stay. It’s likely that the question isn’t “ should you learn Core?” but rather “ when should you start learning Core?”.
