Improper Authentication and Session Management

Most web applications have an authentication module, and we should be careful when writing code for it. We could make mistakes like not removing the authentication cookies after a successful logout. This kind of mistake allows attackers to steal user credentials such as cookies and session values, and may result in attackers being able to access the complete application and cause major negative impacts.
 

This video shows how to create a microservice from scratch using .NET 5. You will learn:
• How to create a .NET 5 microservice from scratch
• Build and debug a .NET 5 project in VS Code
• Interact with your microservice endpoints via Open API and Postman
• Keep configuration and secrets separate from your service code
• Simplify http requests to external endpoints
• Deal with transient errors on external services
• Report the health of the service and its dependencies
• Produce logs suited for a microservice environment 

The missing scope - Tenant-Singleton

If a singleton is created once per application, you can probably guess that a tenant-singleton is created once per tenant.

So when might you need this scope? Think of any object that is expensive to create or needs to maintain state yet should be isolated for each tenant. Good examples would be NHibernate's Session Factory, RavenDB's Document Store or ASP.NET's Memory Cache. 

Over the last decade, Android's open platform has created a thriving community of manufacturers and developers that reach a global audience with their devices and apps. This has expanded beyond phones to tablets, cars, watches, TVs and more—with more than 2.5 billion active devices around the world. As we continue to build Android for everyone in the community, our brand should be as inclusive and accessible as possible—and we think we can do better in a few ways.

Visual Studio Code doesn't support solution files, whereas Visual Studio does. In Visual Studio we use solution files to link multiple projects together, and at first I thought that this was going to be a deal breaker for Visual Studio Code - but it's not at all. Many people aren't aware that Visual Studio Code, although lightweight, is a powerful editor that can do most of the things you need. 

These are the customer-reported issues addressed in this release:
- The debugger cannot continue running the process. Operation not supported. Unknown error: 0x9233000b.
- Recent Projects and Solutions not populated once executed.
- Full build every time with 15.5.
- Wrong IntelliSense errors are still shown on VS 15.5.2 for Visual Basic projects.
- VS2017 15.5.2 Unresolved references when "Allow parallel project initialization" is enabled.
- Upgrading to 15.5.2: cannot launch nor repair VS.
- VS2017 Installation issue.
- Unable to install because of BSoD.

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.
