Pragmatic Memory Management

Featuring Anatoly Zhmur

When we talk about allocations, we have basically two truth: allocations are really fast - and don't allocate if you haven't to. The practical trade-off is between writing easy allocate-y code, and improving it with different methods - which make it harder to write and maintain but...

Turning software into computer chips – Hastlayer

Featuring Zoltán Lehóczky

Software is flexible, specialized hardware is extremely fast. So why not write software, then turn it into a computer chip? This is what Hastlayer (https://hastlayer.com) does by transforming .NET software into electronic circuits. The result is faster and uses less power while you simply keep on...

Let's talk HTTP in .NET Core

Featuring Steve Gordon

In the world of microservices (yes, there's that buzzword again!) and distributed systems we often find ourselves communicating over HTTP. What seems like a simple requirement can quickly become complicated! Networks aren't reliable and services go offline. Dealing with those inevitable...

Core APIs: gRPC, GraphQL or HATEOAS - What's a Dev to do?

Tutorial: Linux :heart - .NET Core: Deploy and Run

Featuring Toby Henderson and Ian Cooper

So you have realized that you know how to design a .NET Core application: it is just C# and the BCL. So you have realized that know how to design ASP.NET Core and EF Core applications. They are just ASP.NET and EF, with a few changes to APIs, some good, some annoying.

What Developers Want

Featuring Rabeb Othmani

There is so much going on in the tech world nowadays, new programming languages, new APIs and new tools everyday. Trying to keep up with all of it can be challenging. So how can we guarantee a smooth developer experience?
