Lucian Wischik discusses the design process for C# 7, which is being designed in the open, with eager community participation on GitHub and elsewhere, and the language features that are taking shape 

The new sha1(X) function computes the SHA1 hash of the input X, or NULL if X is NULL, while the sha1_query(Y) function evalutes all queries in the SQL statements of Y and returns a hash of their results. 

This document covers the best practices and pitfalls for building UI to display URLs in browsers and other apps. It covers the main categories of problems and challenges that we’ve seen in building Chrome. The guidance is intended to be generally applicable, but includes some Chrome-specific notes throughout.

In any real world enterprise application, you end up writing a lot of similar, tedious boilerplate code for bookkeeping . This logic results in a data model where each table is adorned with a lot of non-domain specific columns – does this look familiar? 

Porting existing code to .NET Core used to be quite hard because the available API set was very small. In .NET Core 2.0, we already made this much easier, thanks to .NET Standard 2.0. Today, we’re happy to announce that we made it even easier with the Windows Compatibility Pack, which provides access to an additional 20,000 APIs via a single NuGet package. 

2015 has been a monumental year for Cloud Technology and SaaS in particular. So much has happened, and so much has been discussed, and capturing the very best was not an easy task. Still, I managed to gather what I believe are the top 20 of 2015, from mistakes every SaaS vendor needs to avoid, to insights about the future of Microsoft.
