CRUD is probably the first word your CS teacher taught you, and you might be thinking there's no way anyone could teach you more about it, right? Well, hopefully I will prove you wrong because once you dive as deep into CRUD as I have, interesting ideas manifest themselves. 

Microsoft has announced that the .NET Core 2.0 will be considered "end of life" and thus no longer supported as of October 1, 2018.  .NET Core 2.0 is considered a non-LTS release, and as such Microsoft only commits its support for three months after a successor has been released.  In this case, with .NET Core 2.1 having been released May 31, .NET Core 2.0’s end has come. 

Working as a .NET Professional is a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of emotional highs and crushing lows. It’s likely the same for other communities, with different flavors of success and failures. I have over a decade of .NET development work, and I am here to share some general mantras that have served me well. 

 Today I’m excited to announce our plans to bring SQL Server to Linux as well. This will enable SQL Server to deliver a consistent data platform across Windows Server and Linux, as well as on-premises and cloud. 

• Productivity and Performance improvements – Visual Studio is more responsive and usable, and projects load faster.
• Improved tooling to profile and understand your applications performance.
• Updated JavaScript and TypeScript tooling, including improved Vue.js and ESLint support, and right-click context menu productivity improvements.
• More C++ productivity improvements in IntelliSense, Code Analysis, and Just My Code debugging.
• Improved performance for Visual Basic integer manipulation.
• Azure Development improvements, including continuous delivery for Azure Functions, better experience managing secrets via Key Vault, and ability to configure Application Insights during initial site creation.
• More Library Manager features for managing Web Projects’ client-side library files.
• Mobile Development improvements such as faster Android incremental builds and inclusion of Xamarin.Essentials to facilitate building native apps. 

Graph extensions in SQL Server 2017 will facilitate users in linking different pieces of connected data to help gather powerful insights and increase operational agility. Graphs are well suited for applications where relationships are important, such as fraud detection, risk management, social networks, recommendation engines, predictive analysis, dependence analysis, and IoT applications. In this session we will demonstrate how you can use SQL Graph extensions to build your application using graph data.
