Yeah, so C# Dev Kit, it is a pretty new extension in VS Code. We just GA'd it back in early October. And it's an extension that basically enables you to be productive writing C# applications in VS Code.

?Leslie Richardson

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Leslie Richardson about the C# Dev Kit, a new extension for Visual Studio Code which aims to make the experience of writing C# and .NET code in the free editor more productive. It improves the experience of working with almost all code bases which use modern .NET, and includes the ability to even run and explore your unit tests within VS Code - something that wasn't easily doable previously.

I know before C# Dev Kit existed, the Test Explorer is a window that exists by default in VS Code. But yeah, you're already laughing like, "oh yeah."

So it wasn't very great pre Dev Kit from my understanding, like simple things such as being able to automatically recognise your test once you build your test project. That was not a thing, which blows my mind. I'm like, "but then what are you supposed to do? Just manually add them in? That doesn't sound fun at all, especially if you're trying to do the whole test-driven development." You've got tests everywhere and it's like, "well, that's 50 some tests I have to log in. Yippee. I love testing."

Yeah, I can't imagine that's a great experience. So thankfully, with C# Dev Kit, we've actually made the window functional. I know, bare minimum, but I still think it's pretty good. So when you build your test projects, it should be able to recognize everything that you have registered as a test via like a test method attribute or whatever kind of test type that you're using

Yeah. So what I was thinking the other day is that what we want is to concentrate on the business logic that we need to implement and spend as small as little time as possible configuring, installing and figuring out the tools and libraries that we are using for this specific task. Like our mission is to produce the business logic and we should try to minimize the time that we spend on the tools and libraries that enable us to build the software.

?Giorgi Dalakishvili

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Giorgi Dalakishvili about Postgresql, DuckDB, and where you might use either of them in your applications. As Giorgi points out, .NET has support for SQL Server baked in, but there's also support for other database technologies too:

Yes, there are many database technologies and just like you, for me, SQL Server was the default go to database for quite a long time because it's from Microsoft. All the frameworks and libraries work with SQL Server out of the box, and have usually better support for SQL Server than for other databases.

But recently I have been diving into Postgresql, which is a free database and I discovered that it has many interesting features and I think that many .NET developers will be quite excited about these features. The are very useful in some very specific scenarios. And it also has a very good support for .NET. Nowadays there is a .NET driver for Postgres, there is a .NET driver for Entity Framework core. So I would say it's not behind SQL server in terms of .NET support or feature wise.

?Giorgi Dalakishvili

He also points out that our specialist skill as developers is not to focus on the tools, libraries, and frameworks, but to use what we have in our collective toolboxes to build the business logic that our customers, clients, and users desire of us. And along the way, he drops some knowledge on an essential NuGet package for those of us who are using Entity Framework..

Show Notes

Hateos allows you to add links to the actions you can perform with the data you're returning. So imagine a tweet and imagine, for example, just a links. It's just an object with some arrays. And one of the links could be a retweet link or like a favourite link or like a delete link. And each link contains a type, which is like the HTTP type, it contains the URL to where you perform this action, and it also contains like a name. So kind of human readable kind of name. So like like retweet, delete, stuff like that.

?Sander ten Brinke

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Sander ten Brinke about HATEOAS and HTMX. These are two separate but complementary technologies which help to build reactive web applications. In fact, as Irina pointed out back in episode 2 of the current season (released on Sept 22nd, 2023), you're likely not building RESTful services if you're not doing HATEOAS.

And HTMX is something, as you'll find out, which aims to simplify building HTML-based apps that utilise web-based APIs by taking care of the boilerplate JavaScript code that you might need to include, using a series of attributes that you can place on elements.

So HTMX is in the principle, it's a JavaScript library, which you can use. So you can use it in your application to write a whole lot less JavaScript.

Let's think back to the good old days, right, where we were writing, like, Web 1.0 applications and our servers were simply like, we're using HTML templating engines, which they still do.

It worked and it worked fine, but it wasn't very interactive because then we kind of got to the point where we were like, we want to do some cool clients application, but we don't want to reload the page the entire time. And that is kind of where the SPA movement came along. We want to be able to have a rich interactive application where clicking a button or clicking multiple buttons, just a bit of the page refreshes, right? That's kind of the Web 2.0, I suppose.

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with José Simões about the .NET nanoFramework, a powerful platform for embedded systems and IoT development. I was incredibly impressed when José spoke about just how quickly you can get started with .NET nanoFramework and an ESP32:

You grab a breadboard, you stick an ESP 32 module onto it, and you plug an Led or a sensor or wherever, and in half an hour, you have a proof of concept of something that you are building or just having fun with. And this is great not only for learning to code, but to come up with a proof of concept that you want to show to a customer

If you want to do that in C, I dare you to do that. On the same time, you won't be able to. Meaning that with that code and that proof of concept, then you can evolve, you can keep working on it, and then you can easily migrate that to a production grade system because you will be using the same code. You don't have to change much to get it working.

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Bryan Costanich about both IoT and Wilderness Labs. We discussed what IoT actually is, and the many differences between developing systems for IoT devices and developing modern .NET applications which run on servers, desktops, and mobile phones.

Yeah, you know, it's funny. It's one of those terms that is so broad and encompassing. I mean, really "Internet of things." So things that are connected to the Internet and really, what does that mean? Is your TV an IoT device? Well, maybe. Is your car an IoT device? A lot of these cars today are connected to the Internet.

In our world. And I think colloquially what folks generally accept as IoT are non standard compute devices that are typically embedded. So they're often small and deployed to the field generally that are connected devices, right? Typically this means an embedded device, a device that is powered by, like a microcontroller, sometimes a Raspberry Pi -which is really just a small computer. But generally anything that is what we think of a thing connected things or small devices.

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Mark J Price, a software developer and educator with over 20 years of experience. We talked about .NET 8, Blazor, server-side rendering, and more. We also explore the compiler changes in .NET 8 and how they can improve performance and efficiency.

Mark also discusses his upcoming trilogy of .NET 8 books, which cater to developers of all levels, from beginners to professionals:

What I find when I?m learning something new is even if something has some documentation and it might have a kind of introductory tutorial, they are not always kept up to date and they?re not always easy to follow because what tends to happen is the experts who build the platform are then told, oh, just write a tutorial for it. Now they?re the experts, but they?re not experts at education and so they?re not always that great at actually explaining how to get started with something. So that?s where my books come in, I feel.

I?m an expert at education and I?m an expert because I?m actually not a quick learner. I?m not the quickest, I?m not the brightest, but I do notice the things that trip people up. And so when I first learnt GRPC, I had some misconceptions, I struggled with certain areas, but I notice all of that and I can write it down and so I can write a chapter that I think really helps people get started.

?Mark J Price

With a focus on providing accurate and up-to-date educational resources, Mark's dedication to the community and continuous improvement shines through in this engaging and informative conversation.

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Oren Eini about RavenDb, he shared some practical tips for databases (it's not just a case of "index all the things", who knew?), and we talk about the speed at which Modern .NET is evolving and how that could possibly put new developers off. Oren has a very unique perspective on Modern .NET's innovation speed, as he's been around since the beginning:

"I can tell you something really frightening. I started using .NET when it was before the One release, which was C# 10, which didn't have generics. And then we got generics at 2.0 and link at 3.5 and async I think in 50 or something like that. And when you realize the pace of change is amazing. Some of the things that I'm looking at right now, we have switch expressions now and pattern matching. They allow you to write very succinct code. But I think to myself, if I was trying to learn C# right now from scratch, the scope that I would have to deal with is far larger and some of those things are really complicated" ? Oren Eini

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Dennie Declercq about accessibility, it's importance in modern application development, and how it's not just a case of adding ARIA tags to HTML elements. Developing your web applications with accessibility and all users in mind should be the default mode for all user interface developers; and that change needs to come from us:

"And I don't have good eyes, so I have bad eyes. I'm not blind, b ut my eyes can be way better by example. That's the reason I don't drive a car.

So thinking about this, "is a website for people at autism. it shouldn't be accessible on the other ways." It's just telling fairy tales to yourself. In fact, those fairy tales are not there because a lot of people on the spectrum have one or multiple additional, let's say, diagnosis. So really important to push back and say no. We need to make accessible websites for everybody. Also, for whatever case it is. I love all the things that you're saying in the last part, so I hope I checked them all" ? Dennie Declercq

In fact, in the time between recording this episode and it going live, version 2.2 of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines where published. At the time of recording this into (Oct 18th, 2023), version 2.1 is still the required standard for UK web applications, but it will be superseded by 2.2 by the time you hear this episode.

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Niels Rasmussen about a CSV parser he wrote called Sep - one of the fastest CSV parses in .NET - and the the mysteries of performance optimization and mechanical sympathy.

"And I just got hooked by it. It has to be faster. It has to be faster than the fastest known to man. So that's what I worked on a lot and that's what I find fun. I'm very passionate about performance, mechanical sympathy, all that. That's really what I dig, things I read about and stuff like that." ? Niels Rasmussen

Along the way we discuss the power of simplicity, the importance of understanding hardware intricacies, and the birth of Niels' lightning-fast CSV parsing library, Sep. From exploring different programming paradigms to dissecting the legendary Doom source code, this podcast is a must-listen for developers seeking to enhance their skills and unravel the secrets of software development

In preparation for this episode, Niels actually provided a veritable cornucopia of performance-related stuff - from important points to links to blog posts and other resources. There was no way that we could include them all in this episode, so I have gotten his permission and have been able to supply them as a PDF, linked at the end of the show notes page on the website. How cool is that!

Show Notes

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Jeremy Sinclair about how it's vital that developers understand the code that they are looking to fix, especially when the code they are fixing is complex. Sinclair also emphasises the importance of collective learning and collaboration in the workplace - it's never a competition. But one of the biggest things, says Sinclair, is our ability to learn in the open, using open-source technologies.

"We can apply this over here, if we want this to work together as a full solution. I'll take this part and we need to upgrade this. I'm like, 'wow, this is awesome.' It was like full collaboration because there was so much stuff that I figured out by reading through the docs. I can't tell you how many times I've built the project, debugged, stepped through" - Jeremy Sinclair.

So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

Show Notes

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Scott Hunter about the dynamic world of .NET, open-source, and a bunch of the related technologies that Microsoft have released. Things like DevContainers:

"Yeah. So I would tell people that listen to this: please check out dev containers. I waited way too long to check them out. I knew they existed for a long time and just was too busy and never actually dug deep into it. And now that I have, it's a really cool feature" - Scott Hunter.

Along the way, we touch on the fact that .NET is not just open-source but actively accepts contributions from the wider development community - something unheard of in the .NET Framework days. As an example, .NET Seven had over 1,000 contributions from the developer community - not counting the changes that Microsoft's engineers made to it.

We also touch on some advice that Scott has for participating in open-source communities, along with some hints as to how Microsoft helps to lead the community around their open-source projects. There's some great advice here, from someone who works in enterprise-lead open-source everyday.

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Peter Bull about the Windows App SDK and the hidden bonuses of learning in the open via blogging, podcasting, and creating tutorials. We both also talk about how we feel that Windows as a compilation target has been lost in the cross-platform shuffle recently:

"Yeah, exactly. And I think that's the simple fact that gets missed with... there's a lot of talk about the cross-platform stuff, but just not enough about just write a Windows app if that's where you're going.

And as I say, you get a lot of the benefits of hooking into the really cool features of Windows 11 that you have there that you can leverage. You can leverage that in part or in whole. It's really up to you. And it's still Modern .NET. You can still use the latest version of .NET with Windows App SDK, like the older platforms that might be more limited, you benefit from all of that extra functionality that you get. So when the next version of .NET comes out, that's going to be supported and so on.

So you're not having to compromise with .NET, unlike with UWP, which is still around, that is stuck where it is. It doesn't benefit from the latest version of .NET. So that's a good migration. If you've got a UWP or Universal Windows platform app, you can migrate that to Windows App SDK and then you're going to immediately be able to use the latest version of .NET, which is something you can't do if you stick with it" - Peter Bull.

Whether you're a developer looking to enhance your Windows application development skills or simply interested in the latest advancements in Windows development, this podcast episode provides valuable insights and perspectives.

Show Notes

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Josh Garverick about event-driven and domain-driven design, and his recently published book "Implementing Event-Driven Microservices Architecture in .NET 7". When talking about the book, he had this to say about it's target audience:

"Absolutely. And one of the aims, I think for at least this book was to make sure that it's kind of applicable across a lot of different audiences, not just the folks coming in super green and just looking at it like, I've never seen this stuff before.

There are some disclaimers in the beginning of the book, obviously saying, 'you should probably have at least a baseline understanding of things like domain-driven design containerization and things like that,' but we'll link out to resources to get yourself up to speed. So even if you don't have any background in that stuff, there's at least a place for you to go out and get that information and then come back and then start going through that journey." - Josh Garverick

Not only is his book designed for people, regardless of where they are on their journey with .NET, but, as we'll find out in the episode, it's also filled with pragmatic lessons that developers can apply to any application that they're working on.

Show Notes

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Irina Dominte about web development and API design. Irina offers valuable insights for beginners, the conversation covers topics such as building a strong foundation, learning cloud technologies, adopting modern technologies, API design and development, importance of testing, and choosing the right approach. With practical tips and a simplified approach, this episode provides a wealth of knowledge for those looking to excel in web development and API design.

"Yeah, so I never done a fully Rest API in production. To be fair to me and to the book, a real Rest API is the API that actually respects the REST constraint - the four of them, not the six of them. So it has the first constraint as being the client server architecture. There is two entities involved, the client and the server that need to talk to each other. And then we have statelessness like we're using HTTP we shouldn't keep state as we used to do with older versions of .NET. So everything should be self contained in that specific request or response. Why not? Okay, so then we have the cache. Your resources should be able to be cached like the server marks the response as being cachable, the client understands and looks at the header and so on. So state machine-wise using the right verbs, right?"

Plus, we discuss the recent release of Irina Dominte's comprehensive book on the subject - Web Development for Absolute Beginners - and why it's an essential purchase for anyone wanting to learn how to create web-based APIs with Modern .NET.

Show Notes

Welcome to The Modern .NET Show! Formerly known as The .NET Core Podcast, we are the go-to podcast for all .NET developers worldwide and I am your host Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

In this episode, I spoke with Matt Goldman about .NET MAUI and his recently published book ".NET MAUI in Action". His new book is about .NET MAUI, but also contains some lessons on UI design, such as:

"And you can have a really good UI in black and white with one typeface, but all the fancy iconography and color and typography in the world isn't going to rescue a bad layout."

Matt's book, as you'll find out, aims to make the journey of learning .NET MAUI easier for developers.

One of the most exciting features of .NET MAUI is it's links with Blazor Hybrid, a tool that allows developers to build an app that can run on multiple platforms, including macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and watches or TVs. We go into this in the episode, but a tl;dr for Blazor Hybrid is that it enables developers to write their UI in Blazor, a web technology, while the rest of the code runs as .NET managed code on the device. This approach provides the benefits of full access to platform APIs, true multithreading, and the ability to share code and UI components between different apps and platforms.

Oh, and make sure you stick around to the end of the episode too, as Matt has a discount code which is good for 35% off the price of his new book.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor.

It's the time of year again: time to get a little meta and talk about the show on the show. As it's now summer, I wanted to talk about why the show takes a break, what's coming up in the next season, and drop a little surprise on you all - so stick around to the very end of the episode for that.

We're currently on a month-long hiatus from the show, and new episodes will start appearing in your feeds on September 8th - or September 6th if you're a patron of the show.

Because of that, this episode will be a little shorter than most. But it still has a lot of information in it that I think you'll find useful and interesting.

If you find this episode useful in anyway, please consider supporting the show by either leaving a review (check our review page for ways to do that), sharing the episode with a friend of colleague, buying the host a coffee, or considering becoming a Patron of the show.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Michal Strehovsky about what bflat and flattened.net are, and how he created these amazing experiments. We double back to Michal's previous appearance on the show (back in episode 47) in order to give a little back story as to how he got bflat to where it is, and why he built it.

It's worth remembering that bflat is an experiment of Michal's own creation. Whilst he does work on the .NET team at Microsoft, these experiments are entirely his own creation and have absolutely no support from Microsoft or the .NET team. This is just one of his fun, open-source projects.

Along the way, we talk about the importance of knowing about what happens to your code when you hit compile and how knowing even a fraction of how your code runs on a .NET runtime can help you to write better code. We also talk about the importance of knowing what your dependencies actually are, and how vital it is to understand what they are actually doing by reading the source code - i.e. the Unix philosophy

Remember folks: don't use bflat for production or anything other than playing around with and seeing what you can do. It's not meant for anything other than allowing .NET developers to play around with, or to allow non-.NET developers to get into .NET. Please don't use it to create anything important or anything related to production.

Then again, this is just a fun conversation about how Michal managed to boot his computer directly into a snake game that he wrote in .NET... without an operating system. Pretty cool, huh?

Welcome to season 5 of the award-winning .NET Core Podcast! Check that link for proof.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

Software maintenance is an integral part of any software development project, but it can often be neglected, leading to a range of problems down the line. M. Scott Ford, the co-founder, chief code whisperer, and CTO of CorgyBytes, is passionate about helping teams make improvements to their existing software systems rather than throwing them away and starting from scratch. In this episode of The .NET Core Podcast, Ford and Jamie discussed the challenges of maintaining software and some of the tools they use to make it easier.

One of the tools they discussed was Freshli, a tool that visualizes tech debt and shows how difficult a codebase is to work with. It tracks the age of dependencies and can help identify potential risks before they become major problems. They also discussed the Equifax hack from 2017, which was caused by a single outdated dependency. This highlights the importance of keeping dependencies up to date and the potential risks of neglecting them.

The conversation also touched on the need for more spaces for developers to meet up and exchange ideas and feedback. Ford and Taylor believe that the real nuggets of information are shared in the conversations that happen between talks or at the pub afterwards, and that these sessions allow people to do that organically.

One key takeaway from the discussion was the idea of making small, incremental improvements to a project rather than trying to fix everything at once. This approach is similar to a sports team focusing on individual attributes to improve overall performance. It can be more manageable and less overwhelming for a team to make small changes rather than trying to tackle everything at once.

The podcast also highlighted the challenge of dependencies becoming out of date and the importance of tracking and updating them regularly to reduce risk. Ford and Taylor discussed the use of dependency freshness metrics, specifically the libyear metric, to track the age of dependencies and how it changes over time. This metric can be used to communicate the level of risk a development team is carrying to leadership.

Overall, the conversation in this episode sheds light on the importance of software maintenance and the tools available to make it easier. Outdated dependencies in software projects can have a significant impact on productivity and security, but it is often an invisible problem that goes unnoticed by leadership. By implementing tools like Freshli and tracking the age of dependencies, teams can reduce the potential risks and make software maintenance more manageable.

Welcome to season 5 of the award-winning .NET Core Podcast! Check that link for proof.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

This episode features Carl Sargunar, a web developer who has been freelancing for nine years and specializes in the content management system Umbraco.

Sargunar noted that the barrier for entry for trying new technologies has been greatly reduced. It is now as easy as finding the right tutorial, YouTube video, or Sargunar?s own resources. Visual Studio Code is one of the nicest editors available, and developers can right-click on a project to add a container to it. We discuss how Docker can be used to create reproducible builds and have truly cross-platform code.

The .NET technology stack now runs on any operating system and architecture, including Arm, Raspberry Pi?s, and other IoT devices. Developers can dual boot to Linux or use a Mac machine, and can run their apps on a variety of devices and architectures. Umbraco embraced .NET Core and took on a full platform rewrite to migrate the entire code base from Framework to 3.1. .NET developers have the luxury of using any tool they are comfortable with, and they can run their apps on brand new CPU architectures like the M1 and M2 chips.

Docker makes it easy to try out new technologies without needing to buy expensive hardware or install Linux. GitHub Code Spaces and JetBrains Fleet allow developers to spin up an IDE in the cloud so that they do not need a powerful machine to develop applications. Containers can be shared with others so that they can work on the same project without needing to install the same software. Docker files are plain text files that describe the changes made to the environment, making troubleshooting much easier.

Carl recently ran a workshop at the Code Garden Conference, introducing people to containers. He explained how Docker containers can be used to quickly and easily spin up an application with multiple containers, such as a web server, a database server, and a small website running Blazer and an API. Docker Compose can be used to build and run the application with just one command, and containers can be used to abstract away the operating system and dependencies, making it easier to deploy applications.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with M. Scott Ford of the Legacy Code Rocks podcast about managing your applications and legacy code. We talked about why metric, analytics, and logging are so important; we talked about what legacy code is; and Scott also talked about why tests are so important to him.

Along the way, Scott shared some amazing tips for developers regardless of where they are in their journey, and regardless of the technology stack that they use - including how he uses pact.io to make integration testing a breeze.

He also shares some of the ways that he stays up to date with all of the libraries and packages that are out there - pro tip: it's related to our chat about metrics, but I won't spoil anything for you just yet - So make sure that you stick around to the end of the episode to find out about those.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

We recently interviewed Isaac Levin, a .NET Developer Advocate at AWS (Amazon Web Services). Isaac has been a .NET developer since 2010 and offered some interesting insights into the world of technology.

Isaac discussed the need for developers to focus on the business value they can bring through technology, rather than the technical details. He highlighted the importance of having a team of developers with different levels of skill and experience in order to work together effectively. Isaac also stressed the need to use existing tools and libraries rather than trying to build everything from scratch.

The conversation moved on to the importance of open-source contribution and the need for companies to support open-source projects. Isaac spoke of the importance of being thankful and appreciative, reporting bugs, writing documentation, or donating money to support open-source projects. He also mentioned the story of left-pad, which is an example of how a developer's choice can have a huge impact on many people.

Isaac discussed his role as a developer advocate, talking about how he helps to filter noise and be a conduit between customers, the business, and the product group. He also discussed the need for technology to be more navigable and how developer advocacy can be a routing mechanism to help customers get answers.

Overall, the conversation between Jamie and Isaac offered a lot of valuable advice and insights into the world of technology. They discussed the need to focus on business value and the importance of using existing tools and libraries. They also discussed the need for companies to support open-source projects, as well as the need for technology to be more navigable. Finally, they highlighted the importance of having a designated person or team to keep up to date with technology decisions.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Mike James about Avalonia and XPF. Mike is the CEO of Avalonia, and I wanted to talk about some of the things that Avalonia and it?s XPF offering solve. This meant discussing Avalonia?s competitors (Uno, Maui, and native apps), and talking about Avalonia?s lack of good quality documentation - this has been solved in the time since we recorded this interview (March 17th, 2023).

Along the way, we talked about open source development and some of the expectations placed on open source developers by both the community and the open source developers themselves. And make sure to stick around to the very end to hear Mike drop some software engineering wisdom when he tells us precisely how the team got a cross platform UI framework running on all of the Linuxes - the way they did it might actually shock you.

An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Stephen Cleary about his Comparers library and how comparison and equality of objects in your code base mean different things to different people. For instance, one block of code may view equality as two different object instances with the same ID field, and a different block of code may view equality as a combination of other properties being equal. It's all different for different people, for different consumers, right.

We also talk about the importance of unit testing in the comparers library and how writing these unit tests has sort of unearthed some interesting corner cases in the .NET BCL. Along the way, we discuss our opinions and guesswork regarding a potential corner case in the .NET BCL. But please do remember that neither Stephen nor myself actually work for Microsoft or indeed were involved in writing the original BCL. As such, our opinions and guesswork are just that: guesswork and opinions.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Mark J Price returns for the third time. We talked about his new books "C# 11 and .NET 7 - Modern Cross-Platform Development Fundamentals" and "Apps and Services with .NET 7". For most people, writing one technical book in a year would be a monumental task, but Mark wanted to write two: one for people who want to grok the fundamentals of C# 11 .NET 7, and one for people who wanted to get their hands dirty and learn about the many different types of apps that you can write with .NET 7.

Along the way, Mark and I swapped into teacher mode and discussed a little about how .NET is becoming more accessible to students and new developers. We also chatted about ChatGPT (which was brand new at the time of recording) and how other machine-learning-based content generators will likely change the worlds of art, prose, and development.

An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I chatted with John Westgarth about how he pivoted from teaching English as a foreign language to cybersecurity - an industry that he knew nothing about - at the start of the 2020 "situation". We talk about why he decided to take the plunge, and how he got started on this journey.

Along the way, we discuss some of the transferable skills that non-technical people have which can be used to help get started in the cybersecurity industry. We also talk about the bootcamp that he attended - CAPSLOCK - and the support he received.

It's important to note that this episode isn't an advertisement for CAPSLOCK, just a discussion of John's experiences with them.

If you know anyone who would like to get into the cybersecurity industry, please consider sending this episode (and the previous one) on to them, as it is a discussion with almost no technical points, and I feel it might help them to take that next step.

Hello everyone and welcome to THE .NET Core Podcast. An award-winning podcast where we reach into the core of the .NET technology stack and, with the help of the .NET community, present you with the information that you need in order to grok the many moving parts of one of the biggest cross-platform, multi-application frameworks on the planet.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I hosted a roundtable discussion with Ashley Burke, Karla Reffold, and Divya Mudgal about how they got into the cybersecurity industry, how you don't necessarily need a technical background or need to be a developer in order to get into it, and how there's way more to the industry than the sensationalist "person in a hoodie, typing random commands into a Linux bash prompt," than you might have realised. We talk about the fact that both Ashley and Karla are from "non-traditional" backgrounds (i.e they didn't study Computer Science or Software Engineering) and how their experience differs from Divya's experience, as she studied Computer Science.

Along the way, we also discuss some of the issues that they have each faced as women in the cybersecurity industry - an industry which is traditionally very male dominated. We also discuss ways that we can help our colleagues who identify as female.

This is a slight departure from our standard topic of .NET, and more into both cybersecurity and the gender divide in our industry. I ask that you listen to what these highly skilled colleagues of ours have to say, and think about what your key takeaways from this conversation are. For instance, some of my favourite takeaways from this were:

Karla saying that sometimes, "it's just a case of getting out of the way." Divya saying it shouldn't be about "male vs female", and that we should combine each other's skills and experience to create a greater team. Ashley saying that gender bias can present itself in some of the most subtle ways, and that we should stop teaching those gender biases

I also really appreciated having my viewpoint and a specific long-held understanding (one which I thought would help, but actually might have hurt) challenged and changed throughout this discussion.

Let me know (via the contact page) what your key takeaways where.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Dave Glick about Statiq which is a static site generator - although calling it static site generator, as we'll see, is quite reductive. We also talk about the JAM Stack, static sites, and how most websites don't actually need something like ASP .NET Core or WordPress generating pages at request time. We also talk about a very small selection of some of the things that you can use Statiq to generate - why not check it out today?

Along the way, Dave dispels some of the common misconceptions of statically generated vs completely dynamically generated websites (i.e. pages generated ahead of time vs pages generated at request time), and I talk about how the website for the show is generated ahead of time, and some of the benefits that the community of listeners get from that. This is a conversation that both Dave and I could have kept going with for hours, but we've agreed to come back to it another day in order to explore further.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Carl-Hugo Marcotte about the second edition of his book "An Atypical ASP.NET Core 6 Design Patterns Guide", some of the changes he made for the second edition, and some of his top advice to developers, regardless of where they are in their career.

Along the way, we talk about the reason for writing automated tests, some top tips for refactoring, why Carl-Hugo makes a point to read chapters of technical books that cover knowledge he already has, and why I think it's a great idea to learn outside of your domain - I even share some examples of why.

In this episode, I talked with Oren Eini about RavenDB, why he took the time to create his own NoSql database engine, and the fact that he built it using .NET Core before it was released (back in the pre-1.0 days, when it was known as `dnx`), and some of the optimisation stories that he worked on when creating RavenDB.

Along the way, we cover what the GC (or garbage collector) is, performance issues to look out for when dealing with large JSON objects, and some tips that he has for those who want to optimise their applications.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Maarten Balliauw about how JetBrains (and many of the other IDE manufacturers) are building remote development tools, what they are, and how they work.

Along the way, we cover the differences in the amount of effort required to onboard new developers when you have to manually install all of the supporting tools, spin up VMs, and ensuring that the source code remains secure vs using something like Spaces from JetBrains.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Nick Proud about the work he has been doing with Robotic Process Automation and document processing with Azure Congitive services. Although there are tonnes of services, libraries, and solutions for reading through and programmatically reasoning about a corpus of documents, the Azure Cognitive Services Form Recogniser seemed to fit both the problem and the solution that Nick was working on.
Along the way, we talked about how RPA is a reduction in toil or busywork for people which allows them to focus on the task at hand, we talked about our own personal definitions of the term "full stack developer", and we talked about how important it is to look at a number of possible supporting libraries and services when approaching a new problem - rather than attempting to shoehorn a library or service into your solution just because you are familiar with it. Sometimes we developers have to step outside of our comfort zones and attack a problem in a unique way, and that's one of the key takeaways from this episode.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Mohammed Osman about some of the lesser known Azure features and offerings, and where he has used them in real-world projects. Some of these Azure offerings where new to me, and have some very niche features - like Azure Custom Neural Voice, which has the ability to produce text-to-speech but for your own voice. Be sure to check out Mohammed's quiz that he put together for the episode, and see how much you have learned by listening to the episode - there will be a link in your podcatcher.

Along the way, Mohammed shares some fantastic nuggets of advice for all developers (with two particularly amazing nuggets at the end of the episode), and his experience on what starting a blog had done for him in his professional life.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Kirk Marple about unstructured data, his new product Unstruk Data, and why he chose to use .NET to build something which makes heavy use of machine learning techniques.
Along the way, Kirk shares a whole bunch of lessons and experiences from his career which goes all way back to 1994 when he started at Microsoft. He shares a number of stories and advice about things like building minimal viable products, entrepreneurism, ideas, and whether your product needs to be cross-cloud.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Miguel Adwin about his personal history with .NET, and how he has been a self-taught developer from the earliest days of .NET all the way until now. We also talked about why he picked a tech stack which was 90-96% .NET for his most recent project: fimi.market.   Along the way, Miguel shares some absolute stellar pieces of advice for all developers, regardless of their journey; with a few perfect pieces of advice for juniors and those who are starting their journey right at the end of the episode - so stick around for that.   The full show notes, including links to some of the things we discussed and a full transcription of this episode, can be found at https://dotnetcore.show/episode-106-fim-market-and-the-net-tech-stack-with-miguel-adwin   Useful Links from the episode: fimi.market fimi.market on Twitter

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Tanya Janca about application security (sometimes called appsec), We Hack Purple which is a community of people who want to help make all applications more secure, the free courses that We Hack Purple are providing, and we swap stories of working to make applications more secure.

Along the way, we discuss Tanya's new book, OWASP, recommended security headers for HTTP (and most importantly Content-Security Policy), and how important they can be when the spam really hits the fan.

Tanya has actually been on the podcast in the past, back on episode 77 when we talked about her book Alice and Bob Learn Application Security. Interestingly, Tanya has a whole new book planned, which she'll be working on when this episode drops.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I get a little meta, as it's time for the 2022 mid-year break, and I wanted to talk about that really quickly. I also wanted to talk about some shows that you should check out until we come back on September 9th (or September 7th if you're a patron of the show). As such, this episode will be a little shorter than the usual episodes.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Paul Michaels about Software Architecture and how important it is to get the architecture right before writing code. Paul has recently published a new book on the subject called "Software Architecture by Example: Using C# and .NET" which covers CQRS, event sourcing, distributed systems, and distributed transactions, to name just a few.

Along the way we covered ubiquitous language, living documentation, and keeping a log of the rationale behind why you made the decisions that you did when building your applications and how this can help other devs when they have the "wtf" moment while reading your code.

After we had finished recording, Paul passed along a discount code for his book. You can only get the discount code by heading to the show notes for this episode and scrolling to the bottom of the transcription. It will be listed in the "useful links" section.

I am your host, Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, I talked with Otto Dobretsberger about Photino: a lightweight open-source framework for building native, cross-platform desktop applications with Web UI technology. We talked about why you might decide to take an existing web app and use it with Photino to create a desktop application, why you might do that rather than provide Progressive Web App support, and some of the things which might be coming in a later release.

Along the way, we discuss some of the difficulties in creating cross-platform UI-based applications, and some of the things that Flatpack, AppImage, and Snap are trying to solve on the Linux desktop.
