To help you enjoy this creativity from the community, every month or two I’ll be introducing some of the new extensions that caught my eye. Here are the highlights for this month:

• Open Bin Folder Extension (nice and simple)
• DocPreview (Preview XML comments)
• JavaScript Snippet Pack (Code snippets for JavaScript developers) 

With .NET 6 previews starting right around the corner, it is time to start getting excited for the new .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) that was announced at BUILD 2020.

The main goal for this release is to add full support for the just-released .NET Core 3.0 for you to take advantage of. If you use top-notch technologies like the latest bits of .NET Core – install Rider 2019.2.3 and enjoy!

One of the two features that will be part of ECMAScript 2016 is the new Array.prototype.includes method. It determines whether an array contains a certain element and returns either true or false. 

bool totalSuccess = First() & Second();
If you want both operations to happen regardless of whether the first succeeded then using && would be wrong. (And similarly if you want to know if either succeeded, you’d use | instead of ||.)
