Show Notes "I remember I had the entire life cycle of the web forms printed on a wall. It was like six sheets of paper and it was very complex, and it was very useful to have it on the wall because, like, you could always look at it and say, "okay, this is going on before this one." So you have to like switch the order of things. But that's exactly what I call interesting"— Tomáš Herceg Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, we talk with Tomáš Herceg about strategies for modernizing .NET Framework web applications such that they leverage the very latest in the .NET stack. Tomáš shares his insights from the journey of upgrading his own applications and those of his clients, both of which provided the background for his new book: "Modernizing .NET Web Applications". "The biggest problem of the YARP migrations: that they will force you to do a lot of infrastructure things at the beginning before you even start migrating some real functionality."— Tomáš Herceg Along the way, we discuss how using his DotVVM project can help with the migration. Not only is the upgrade path for DotVVM projects a process of swapping a NuGet package, but is also keeps the upgrade as a single in-memory process—something that YARP-based migrations aren't able to do. Anyway, without further ado, 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 "When you program for the NES you deeply need to understand the hardware, right. And that's not a thing; like as a .NET developer you don't really know what a register is, or like or a bus, or like NES has a thing called a PPU"— Jonathan Peppers Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Jonathan Peppers joins us to talk about something which is a little out of the ordinary for us here: programming the Nintendo Entertainment System but in C#. We talk about the process behind his (some would say absurd) idea for an AOT transpiler which can convert a subset of C# over to the Assembler required to write and publish a NES game. "So you think about that example, what I described there on the NES side is actually very similar to what's on the IL side, is that in IL, you have a string, right? It goes and looks up in a string table, the contents of the string, and puts it on a stack, and then it calls vram_write, and then it's the runtimes job to actually like make that happen at runtime; or in the case of an AOT compiler it would emit, you know, native machine code that does the same thing."— Jonathan Peppers Along the way, we talk about that Ahead-of-Time compilation is, have a brief intro to what IL is (that's what your C# code is compiled to before running it), and how all of that fits in with .NES—the wonderful name for Jon's AOT NES compiler.

Show Notes "So on my side it was actually, the interesting experience was that I kind of used it one way, because it was mainly about reading the Python code, the JavaScript code, and, let's say like, the Go implementations, trying to understand what are the concepts, what are the ways about how it has been implemented by the different teams. And then, you know, switching mentally into the other direction of writing than the code in C#."— Jochen Kirstaetter Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie “GaProgMan” Taylor. In this episode, Jochen Kirstaetter joined us to talk about his .NET SDK for interacting with Google's Gemini suite of LLMs. Jochen tells us that he started his journey by looking at the existing .NET SDK, which didn't seem right to him, and wrote his own using the HttpClient and HttpClientFactory classes and REST. "I provide a test project with a lot of tests. And when you look at the simplest one, is that you get your instance of the Generative AI type, which you pass in either your API key, if you want to use it against Google AI, or you pass in your project ID and location if you want to use it against Vertex AI. Then you specify which model that you like to use, and you specify the prompt, and the method that you call is then GenerateContent and you get the response back. So effectively with four lines of code you have a full integration of Gemini into your .NET application."— Jochen Kirstaetter Along the way, we discuss the fact that Jochen had to look into the Python, JavaScript, and even Go SDKs to get a better understanding of how his .NET SDK should work. We discuss the “Pythonistic .NET” and “.NETy Python” code that developers can accidentally end up writing, if they're not careful when moving from .NET to Python and back. And we also talk about Jochen's use of tests as documentation for his SDK.

Show Notes "So I've been focused on the code to cloud journey, I like to call it, for the template. And two years ago, my goal was to provide a solution that could take you from code to cloud in 45 minutes or less. So I wanted it to be "file new project" to deploy a solution on Azure—because that's where my main focus is—within 45 minutes."— Jason Taylor Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Jason Taylor (no relation) joined us to talk about his journey from Classic ASP to .NET and Azure. He also discusses clean architecture's maintainability, and his open-source Clean Architecture Solution template for ASP .NET Core, along with strategies for learning new frameworks and dealing with complexity. "Right now the template supports PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server. If you want to support MySQL, it's relatively easy to do because there's already a Bicep module or a Terraform module that you can go in and use it. So I went from 45 minutes to now I can get things up and running in like, I don't know, two minutes of effort and 15 minutes of waiting around while I make my coffee"— Jason Taylor Along the way, we talk about some of the complexities involved with creating a template which supports multiple different frontend technologies and .NET Aspire (which was news to me when we recorded), all the while maintaining the goal of being the simplest approach for enterprise development with Clean Architecture.

Show Notes "If you talk to people that have been doing Terraform for many years, they're going to tell you that, "Terraform is the law and Terraform is the way to go." But like you said, there's different tools, I would say, or languages that you can use for infrastructure as code. And it really depends what you want to do, what your developers are used to or are comfortable with and what works with your organization as it should be with any tool in software development. You got to grab the one or use the one that is more appropriate for your use case, your scenario, your organization"— Sam Gomez Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Sam Gomez joined us to talk about Infrastructure as Code, why you might want to think about using something like Terraform and Bicep, and how they can help you to automate your deployments to the public cloud. Sam also talks about best practises for CI/CD and ways to test your Infrastructure as Code ahead of running it--something that we've all felt the pain of in the past, I'm sure. "Terraform has what's called validation for your parameters. So like I said, you can set up a validation that says, "the only values for the SKU for a SQL server are basic," for example. And if somebody tries to give a different value to that particular parameter, it'll stop automatically and say, "okay, this validation has failed. You know, the value allowed is this one." You can do the same thing with Bicep. So that's another added layer of protection against making these kind of mistakes and adding or configuring the wrong values in your deployments"— Sam Gomez Anyway, without further ado, let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET. Podcasthon 2025! One last thing before we start the episode: we're super happy to participate in the 3rd edition of Podcasthon For one week, more than a thousand podcasts will highlight a charity of their choice. And today, I have the pleasure of welcoming Andy's Man Club to the show. Throughout this episode, I'll interrupt the conversation a few times to talk about the importance of mental fitness. The reason that I've picked Andy's Man Club is because mental health support is very important to me. I've used their groups for almost two years and have had the honour of being asked to step up and help run one of those groups. If you'll forgive the name for now, Andy's Man Club is a UK-based charity which organises weekly, informal, peer-to-peer talking groups for anyone over the age of 18 who identifies as male. I'll talk more about Andy's Man Club later in the episode.

I think it's really to keep complexity low, because in most projects, unless you are writing an operating system, a framework or rocket navigation you are not coding against hardware; like the hardware is not your bottleneck. You are coding against human brains, cognitive abilities of your team; like how many smart people your company is able to put on your team, this is your limiting factor so we need to keep complexity low and I think it's really the most important benefit."— Gael Fraiteur Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox.

In this episode, Gael Fraiteur joined us to talk about Metaprogramming with Metalama. Gael is the original author of the wildly successful PostSharp and has been working with the aspect-oriented programming pattern for over 20 years. In this conversation we talk about how metaprogramming (regardless of whether you use Metalama to achieve that or not) can save on both the complexity and the number lines of code in your projects. "Well, there are studies that try to correlate the cost of software projects to the number of lines of code. And the conclusion is: it is more or less a linear dependency. A bit super linear. That means that if you have 15% fewer lines of code, you are going to get 15% lower development cost.

I definitely believe regardless of the public cloud provider in question, they're all part of a bigger ecosystem. And I emphasize the word ecosystem. I believe security as, you know, a problem statement of our time, it's just so complex that it really can't be solved by a single company or by a single organization or a single individual.

Not only did Bojan and I talk about the security aspects of protecting your public cloud digital landscape, but we also talked about how all the public cloud providers actually work together to ensure that everyone is protected from CVEs and exploits when they are discovered. An application of the Infinite Game, if you will—if you're not sure what that is, we cover that in the episode, too. "So instead of at times you know thinking of it as a zero-sum game, I definitely believe there is opportunity to kind of expand the ecosystem and partner in meaningful ways where we can share information and share insights and guidance and even skill sets that are going to make us all as an industry and, you know, as clients more secure."— Bojan Magušić Anyway, without further ado, 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 "This should be a mantra for anyone working on web applications or web APIs: you should validate any input of the application as much as possible. When you conceptualize it, all the malicious input into your application comes across in an HTTP request at some point. It's either in the URL or in the body. That's generally speaking, unless you have a supply chain attack, that's generally the vector by which your application will be attacked. Before you even start to kind of think about specific vulnerabilities, if you narrow down what is permissible input right out of the gate, then you kind of close the door on so many different vulnerabilities without even thinking about it."— Malcolm McDonald Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Malcolm McDonald joined us to talk about the importance of Application Security, knowing the basics of secure coding, and backing that all up with both "secure by default" designs, and subscribing to CVE notifications. "So what you find in your career is that if you set down kind of sensible default behaviour in your codebase earlier on, then everyone will follow that. You establish, kind of, best practices. It might take a little bit longer, but if you say, "this is the way we do this over here," then even yourself when you, kind of, come back to, will kind of, reproduce that path. So the initial, kind of, like first few check-ins to your source control are key to, like, establishing best practice"— Malcolm McDonald One note before we begin: some of Malcolm's audio is a little rough.

Show Notes "From the very first lesson of "Hello, World" they teach us to make insecure code. So the first thing with "Hello, World" is how to output to the screen. That is fine. But the second part of "Hello, World" is: you ask them their name, you take their name. you don't validate it, and then you say "Hello," and you reflect their name back onto the screen with no output encoding. And then you just made cross-site scripting. And right from the very first lesson, we teach everyone wrong in pretty much every language, and so as a result we end up with a lot of people doing code the wrong way.

We talk about how developers are taught to write insecure code from day one (or "Hello, World!"), about how her new book "Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding" could help with that, the many hours of free education and learning that Tanya has created alongside the book, and how both data scientists and academics approach software development differently to some of us developers. "There are so many amazing security features in .NET. There's so many. Like, because I... I wrote about eight different frameworks and .NET by far had the absolute most different security features. And part of it, some of them are from Windows. Some of them are from C... because I wrote about C# and .NET. And to be quite honest, audience, I mixed them up quite a bit because, "what is specifically C#, and what is specifically .NET," got a bit confused in my brain. But I'm like, all of it's good.

Show Notes "So we're dealing with code bases that are getting bigger and bigger every day. You know, those million line code bases, two million line code bases is not unusual. We are being pushed to do more. I remember when I was working at Microsoft a couple of years ago, Satya Nadella, CEO, his favourite phrase was, "you have to do more with less." But yeah, so Satya was big on this idea of do more with less. And this has kind of resonated across the industry as a whole."— Jim Bennett Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am not your host: Jamie. I'm Delilah and I will be recording the intro for this episode because Jamie is suffering with a throat infection. In this episode, Jim Bennett returns to the show after a six-year absence. In his previous appearance, Jim introduced us to Xamarin, but in the time since that appearance, Xamarin has been sunsetted. So it felt natural to start our conversation about the wonderful outpouring of support over on X with the hashtag #XamarinGaveMe. The main topic of conversation is about Generative AI, Large Language Models, and how the new startup, Pieces, can help developers to keep the context of what they are working on at the front of their mind at all times; both when they are online and off. "If I said to you, "which character from the Pixar movie Up are you?" The answer is going to be, "Doug," we're all Doug. We're all like, "squirrel!" So if we have to go from our IDE to a browser to ask a question, we're reading email on the way. We are looking at chat tools on the way. Oh, we're in a browser. "Oh, I've got a notification on Blue Sky. I'm going to have a look at that." We are context switching. We are distracted. We are drinking coffee. We are losing our productivity"— Jim Bennett Anyway, without further ado, 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 "So a lot of these features are new features that probably weren't there when you first made your package. But I'd like to just briefly talk through what each of these are and talk about how to fix them. So before jumping into the complexity of those red Xs, let's just take a little step back and talk about how to edit what appears in a NuGet package. Because it might be a little bit confusing for someone who's brand new."— Scott Harden Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox.

I'm Delilah and I will be recording the intro for this episode because Jamie is suffering with a throat infection. In this episode, Scott Harden joined us for the final part in a special three part series. This final part of our conversation takes the major points from the previous two episodes and applies them specifically to authoring NuGet packages. We start by discussing what NuGet packages are, cover the NuGet Package Explorer (which you can run in your browser, by the way), and finally wrap everything up by taking a look at a PR that Scott had provided for one of Jamie's open-source packages: OWASP Headers.Core. "So in this case, it's like, well, okay, what icon do we use? A lot of developers are like, 'I'm a programmer. I'm not a graphic designer.' But—I just want to encourage everyone. It doesn't matter. First of all, no one's downloading your NuGet package because you're a graphic designer. Some of the most popular NuGet packages have really, really, really simple icons. And I'm not going to call any by name but it's kind of a joke where a lot of people make a really simple one-off icon when their project gets small and they kind of feel like they can never change it later because the project got big, so you have a lot of really great projects with really simple icons, so don't be intimidated by that"— Scott Harden Anyway, without further ado, 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 "I don't want to go into the details right now, but for the listeners, I will say that we are right in the middle of an explosive situation right now with some WordPress drama. WordPress and WP Engine are experiencing a lot of the fallout, kind of related to what we talked about in the last episode, where you start out with some good intentions and then you get in a situation where both sides kind of feel burned. And I'm not going to say that there's a perfect solution out there, But I do think that this frequent check-ins and asking, you know, "is this good for me and what needs to change for this to be good for my life?" is important."— Scott Harden Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am not your host: Jamie. I'm Delilah and I will be recording the intro for this episode because Jamie is suffering with a throat infection. In this episode, Scott Harden joined us to talk more about open-source, software licensing, and a little on some of the most recent NuGet package updates that .NET developers should know about. It's important to note, Scott and Jamie talked about the WordPress controversy which was still unfolding as we recorded (which on October 19th, 2024). They brought it up not to make fun of WordPress or to add fuel to the flames, but to talk about the fact that it highlighted Scott's point about checking in with yourself regularly, as an open-source developer, about whether you're getting what you want from your public repos. Whilst talking about open-source development and licensing, Scott brought up a question on our collective and individual digital legacies. "And this is kind of a startling topic to bring up, but what if you just disappeared tomorrow? Because people just leave because they have some medical situation or some life situation, or they die. And this happens. This happens in software. We'll talk about some specific examples in a minute. But, you know, if you disappear tomorrow, it's interesting to think about kind of what your digital legacy would be. And, you know, you could have left this thing behind in a way that it could have been used by everyone or anyone."— Scott Harden This episode has a lot of resources in the accompanying show notes, so if you're listening along in a podcast player make sure to head to the website (there'll be a link). That way you don't miss out on all the wonderful things Scott and Jamie talked about. As a form of trigger warning, at around the 58 minute mark Scott talks about how his own journey with cancer brought the idea of his digital legacy to the forefront for him. Both Scott and Jamie also talk about the late Abel Wang and Pieter Hintjens. And they talk about other examples of developers who are very public with their health struggles: Jeremy Likness and (previous guest of the show) Jon Smith, who suffer with Alzheimer's disease and dementia respectively. We understand completely if you want to skip this entire section. But we also feel that there are very important points raised whilst talking about these, less cheery, matters. This conversation makes up the bulk for the final 10-15 minutes of the episode. Aside from a teaser for the next part (which is all about NuGet packages), you won't miss anything .NET specific if you choose to skip this part.

Show Notes "One of the projects that I work on right now that's probably one of my more successful ones, It's a scientific data visualization library for .NET. It's called ScottPlot. The name is silly. It's because when I made it, I thought I was the only person going to be using it. And then some other people started using it and that wasn't totally unexpected. But now it's about a million and a half installs on NuGet. I think it has like 5,000 stars on GitHub.

I'm Delilah and I will be recording the intro for this episode because Jamie is suffering with a throat infection. In this episode, Scott Harden joined us for the first of three episodes on .NET, open source, and NuGet. This part of the conversation is all about what Scott calls "The Spirit of Open Source in a Modern .NET World." This is the background information on why Scott (and Jamie) believe that developers should look to creating open source works, putting them out there, and gathering feedback from people. Not only will it enhance your technical skill set (and very quickly), but it will also allow you to get experience at failing in a safe space: in public. "Now, humans evolved to like helping people in our in-group. And I think it means a lot that we treat anonymous strangers on the Internet, or we can treat them. Obviously, this can go wrong. But we can treat them as part of our in-group. Like, "hey, we are all in this technical world together. We are struggling. Let's figure this out together." And that bridge of trust and effort and you're sharing your knowledge with another person, it is such a positive experience all around the table"— Scott Harden This episode has a lot of resources in the accompanying show notes, so if you're listening along in a podcast player make sure to head to the website (there'll be a link). That way you don't miss out on all the wonderful things Scott and Jamie talked about. And remember, this is just part one. In the next two parts, Scott and I talk about creating NuGet packages, ensuring their safety and security, and how to be a good citizen of the open source community. Talk about a festive gift for you all. And definitely go ahead and check out Scott's work and writings. He's a really interesting person, an amazing open source contributor, and an all-round great person.

Show Notes Hi everyone, Just a quick thing before we start: this episode was recorded in the middle of summer, which meant that Erik needed to have his office window open. It's possible to hear the outside traffic throughout, but rest assured that our editing team have done what they can to reduce it's presence. It's not that noticable and shouldn't affect your enjoyment of the show, but I wanted to give you a heads-up. Also, do remember that there's a full transcription available at the show's website; so check that out, too. Anyway, let's get to it. "So, I think my mantra for creating things like these tools is, "should be easy to get started and there should be a like an easy happy path but then if you want to deep dive and do a lot of options or even a t4 templates you can also do that," but there should be a simple happy path with good error reporting if something fails."— Erik Jensen Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focussing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Erik Jensen joined us to talk about EF Core Power Tools, and how you can use his project to increase your productivity with EF Core-based databases, regardless of the database technology used; if it's supported by EF Core, then the Power Tools extension supports it to. "The one that's definitely used the most is what in a tool is referred to as reverse engineering. Where you point to an existing database, which can be some of the database types I mentioned previously. Like SQL Server, as a SQL database, Postgres, Oracle, MySQL, and Firebird. And then the tool asks you for a number of options, like you can specify what namespaces you're using, and where the files are laid in your project, and many, many other options. And then when you press OK at that point, as you said, Jamie, the tool generates a DB context and some classes that represent your tables with navigations between the tables based on discovery of foreign key relationships."— Erik Jensen We also briefly touched on the MSBuild.Sdk.SqlProj project and its goal of giving cross-platform .NET developers a way to both describe and build their ideal database schema in code. We also covered Erik's personal process for dealing with feature requests, and how developers can ensure that that are providing valueable feedback to open-source projects; a subject that will come up again soon with future guest Scott Harden.

That I think you're absolutely right with all the points you raised, but we are trying to work on on everything there. So a couple of things are worth pointing out: one is docker-init; so nowadays if you start in like a new project with python or node or whatever, you can run the docker-init command, and what that will do is like create a dockerfile and a couple of other files, I think, to help you get started, and it sort of contains that the best practices. So to try and help you get over the hump of trying to understand how to create a dockerfile, and all the different ways you can build that without needing to know everything.

"Yeah, I like your point there about showing your receipts. So in attestations, you can also say things like, you know, “we did do this on this image.” You can create an attestation that says, “hey, I ran a scanner on this image and I had this output at this time.” And because it's all signed, you know that that did happen, if you like. Yeah, and also like, you know, you could have an attestation that said, “I ran these tests on this image at this time and this was the output,” sort of thing.

So when you look at the percentages, you're building something for one year and then you are using it for nine more years, let's say. It's a 10 year life cycle. So when you think about it, you spend 10 times... er, 10 percent of your time building something and 90 percent of the lifecycle of the application or the system responding to change requests, building new things, changing, adapting, and maintaining. So essentially, our job is not to build out. Our job is to sustain all these request changes. I think that's the first point we need to clear."— Dejan Miličić Welcome friends to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focussing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. We are the go-to podcast for .NET developers worldwide, and I am your host: Jamie "GaProgMan" Taylor. In this episode, Dejan Miličić joined us to talk about the CQRS pattern, how it came from CQS, what CQS is and how it's related to Alan Kay's original ideas for object-oriented programming, being pragmatic as developers and engineers, the importance of system design and system's thinking, and how we all need to realise that our software lives on for years after we've pushed our changes to the repo. "So I, indeed, agree with you that people should pay more attention to system design. Start looking at the whole picture. And the extreme of this thinking would be: okay you will go into job interview, they will ask you about, I don't know, quick sort you, will implement it on the whiteboard, and then six months later on you will go and purchase or maybe download a NuGet package with with a quick sort implementation, because you know it makes sense; you don't want to implement something that have been implemented this many times before."— Dejan Miličić Whilst this episode doesn't focus on .NET per se, I think that the subjects that Dejan and I covered are incredibly important for anyone who wants to seriously level up their game. In fact, Dejan proved this point when he said: "We [are] all, like, containerised into our own small silos and working on our own without being aware of the whole system. When you look at what people go through when they prepare for job interviews at, I don't you know, Google, Facebook, nowadays Meta, Microsoft, you have all these books on the system design. And then they go, instead of, you know, going to the job interview after 20 years of experience and talking about what you do and what you know, people with 20 years of experience still sit down and learn and prepare for the system design interview. I'm not saying they shouldn't be preparing, but some of my colleagues told me that that was the first time in their careers that they started looking at the system design as a discipline."— Dejan Miličić Anyway, without further ado, 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 You can use Linq to write database... to query a database and I thought, "well you can interactively write queries in SQL using tools like SQL Server Management Studio, so wouldn't it be great if you could do the same thing in Linq?" So I wrote a tool to do that—that was LinqPad—to as you can just type Linq queries in interactively. And then once I released that it became quite popular and there were a lot of people using it, including a lot of folks at Microsoft were using it. And I was getting a lot of feature requests — Joe Albahari In this episode, Joe Albahari joined us to talk about LinqPad—yes, that LinqPad. The one tool which makes all .NET developers lives easier. Don't worry if you've never heard of LinqPad, as Joe and I talk about why you should use it, and how it can make your .NET life way more productive. We also talked about handling feature requests, and building a development platform. When something doesn't work correctly, it can be really hard to figure out what's going on. Sometimes it just requires experimentation. And that's something I dislike. I always like to try to understand exactly what's going on underneath and then try and from that understanding make something work. I don't just like trying random stuff. — Joe Albahari We also round out our conversation by taking some questions from the community, which Joe graciously agreed to answer for us. Don't forget that you can join the community (for free) over at dotnetcore.show/discord where you'll be able to connect with other listeners, share interesting links, propose episode ideas, and suggest questions for guests. After recording, Joe and I spoke in depth about the possibility of a cross-platform version of LinqPad; later that day (we recorded on May 2nd, 2024), I sent off an email introducing Joe to the team at Avalonia, and a few weeks before this episode dropped Joe announced a version of LinqPad which is coming to macOS.

Show Notes Yeah, exactly. And it means you can, if you see it in its sort of native place, next time that you're writing something, maybe you don't go and change all your IEnumerables to IAsyncEnumerable because that's not worth doing. But maybe next time you're writing a new API you're like, "oh, you know what, I will use that newer API because it will give me better performance. And when I'm writing it, it's easy to just use the new thing and it's more applicable to this situation." — Andrew Lock 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, Andrew Lock joined us to talk about ASP .NET Core's new Minimal APIs paradigm. Along the We also talked about validation, and the third edition of his book "ASP .NET Core in Action" from Manning Publishing. So it's sort of interesting, the philosophy, because obviously validation was one of the things they had some pushback. In MVC You've got validation there by default, and clearly you always want to have validation of your arguments. So why didn't they include it in minimal APIs? And the answer basically is because there's more than one validation framework. There's the data annotation attributes... but then there's other frameworks like the fluent validation, for example, is a very popular one. And the only way that works in MVC is you have to sort of try and plug it in as an extra part and remove the old validation. And they didn't want to prioritize any particular style of doing validation. — Andrew Lock 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 What do they go for? They go for one that's separated from the herd. And the idea behind cyber security nowadays should really actually be: put enough security controls in that they just go, "you know what? There's someone down the road that's got it all wide open. I'm just gonna go for them." And if you can just make yourself look as unappetizing and unappealing as possible, that's half the battle. — Lianne Potter 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, Lianne Potter and Jeff Watkins of the Compromising Positions podcast joined us to talk a little bit about the practical side of cyber security. Both Lianne and Jeff are cyber security professionals and have a ton of experience in the industry. But I had them talk about cyber security from a developer's point of view: what can we do, what do we need to know, and how can we help our colleagues on a daily basis? I think the other side's true as well. I think companies in general need to encourage a more holistic, and shift-left, and integrated approach to security. I think we talk about that quite a bit about the idea of this should not be an "over the fence," because I guess there's two sides of the coin. One side saying, "oh look, there's the security team, they're the Department of Work prevention, they're the ones who are going to stop you." And there's the other side of that coin where nobody's bothered to ever include people from the security in their ways of working and daily practices — Jeff Watkins 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 I want it to be like one of those books that you can pick up and you can, like, you don't have to have .NET experience. You might, you know, maybe, you know, Java or maybe, you know, Python or something like that. You should be able to pick this book up and get to a point where you can actually build real world applications with .NET that are secure, they're fast, they're well tested. They have localization built in. They're put into containers that you can throw into like a Kubernetes. I wanted to get to that point where it's like, you could build applications that I've built like, say, with UiPath — Dustin Metzgar 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, Dustin Metzgar joined us to talk about his new book ".NET in Action Second Edition." This book takes the first edition, written back in 2018, which targetted .NET Core 2 and upgrades and expands it to both cover a lot more content and to focus on .NET 8. Along the way, we also discussed the basics of identity and the common pitfalls that developers fall into when they work with one of the current identity standards. So certificates are still involved too because it's because you need that certificate to sign the tokens. And I think what's interesting about certificates is like you have that, you know, this kind of asymmetric encryption where, you know, you have a private key and then you publish a public key that everybody can see to use to kind of decrypt your, what you sign, what you encrypt. And that's a kind of a feature of like these identity providers. — Dustin Metzgar 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 When you talk to the Temporal guys and look at the way that they've done some of their work is they have a... they have stuff that can run for years. So for instance, they'll kick off a workflow for one of their customers, kicks off a workflow when the customer's created, and that workflow is like managed by Temporal for as long as that customer is a customer. So it could be, you know, I don't know, occasionally sending out an email to, you know, "happy birthday" or something, or sending them promotions or whatever. So they see, they see workflows as like lifetime things — John Kattenhorn Welcome to The Modern .NET Show!

John in the CEO of Applicita and wanted to talk about the ways that developers can build applications and workflows which can live in the cloud for a very long time. And the great thing about Temporal is it manages all of those resources for you. So if you imagined me and you trying to do that, we'd end up standing up, I don't know, a running service or something that was constantly polling the data, looking for eligible customers or something. You'd be burning some resources looking at that stuff, and that's not how they do that.

Avalonia XPF This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by Avalonia XPF, a binary-compatible cross-platform fork of WPF, enables WPF apps to run on new platforms with minimal effort and maximum compatibility. Show Notes Uno Platform started off as the core UI framework. UI and non UI, because as part of Uno Platform itself, you have some non UI APIs like accelerometer and like these device sensors that you can use in a cross platform manner. So that part is the core framework, which is the backbone to everything that we built on top of it. — Martin Zikmund 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, Martin Zikmund joined us to talk about Uno Platform and how it's way more than just a UI framework. It has support for APIs such as reading device sensors like accelerometers, too. But the bread and butter of Uno Platform, like AvaloniaUI, comes from the fact that you can use the familiar WPF syntax and either the new MVUX architecture or the more familiar to most MVU architecture to build your apps. Yeah, ideally it should work on any Linux where .NET runs. And we are currently using GTK as the underlying framework that simplifies our like that access to Linux specific APIs. So there is kind of a middleware layer of GTK. And you know, that makes the development for us much easier because it already has those shims for different versions of Linux and so on built in. — Martin Zikmund So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in dotnet new podcast and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

Avalonia XPF This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by Avalonia XPF, a binary-compatible cross-platform fork of WPF, enables WPF apps to run on new platforms with minimal effort and maximum compatibility. Show Notes Yeah, so .NET MAUI is the .NET stack, framework, whatever you want to call it, for writing one code base that runs on what we call client devices, client platforms. So you have the web, you have ASP .NET Blazor and all that stuff. You have the console apps, you can write with C#, of course, so many backends and APIs and all of that stuff running in the cloud. But with MAUI, it's for client app development. So Android, iOS, macOS and Windows, you can target using XAML and C#, or just C# if you don't like XAML, or Razor if you want to. All are options. But you can write one code, business logic, your UI, all of your endpoint management and everything, all of that. And it's just written in C#. It's a .NET application. It's using .NET MAUI — Maddy Montaquila 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, Maddy Montaquila joined us to talk about .NET MAUI—the Multi-platform Application User Interface—what it is, it's history, and why developers who are looking for a first-party UI-framework their modern .NET apps should check it out. We can do that totally within MAUI. It's actually pretty easy. So you can just say like, "on platform Android, do this," or "on idiom," we call them idioms, right? Tablet, desktop, or phone. "On idiom, do this." We actually have customers who will ship in the same code base, like two completely different navigation stacks. So it will say, "on desktop, load it up with this nav stack and load into these pages. On mobile, load it up into this nav stack and load up these pages." But since you can share the components, you can basically say, "the navigation of my desktop app, everything is horizontal, but I pull in the same components. It's just like a different grid view than I would do on mobile where it's all stacked on top of each other and it's a scroll." Right? So you can get super flexible with all of it. — Maddy Montaquila So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in dotnet new podcast and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

Because a top ten could not like, it should be an awareness piece and you should work from it. And there are better ways of dealing with that. But I think a security scorecard should never be a goal. It should be a means to reach the goal, to have better understanding, right? And hopefully they can change stuff and be more expressive. — Niels Tanis 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, Niels Tanis returned to the show. He was previous on the show back in episode 69 - The Risks of Third Party Code With Niels Tanis - which was released back in February of 2021. I asked Niels to back on the show to talk more about securing the software development supply chain and SBoMs (Software Bills of Materials). Yeah, that makes sense. It's funny. So I think when I started out talking about supply chain, and there were some tools that have been introduced to do SBoM data, and then you also come into an area called provenance, which tells more about the build and about "this build server was used. And I've run on GitHub actions, or I run on a GitLab instance, or I have stuff done differently," right? Maybe even the Redhat one: Tekton, that kind of thing. And based on that, I'm producing an SBoM. And I did a talk and I concluded with that, "it's like, these are cool tools, you need to look into it." And then somebody at the end asked me the question, "and the what? You have all the data? And then what?" I said, "yeah, that's solid question because that will be the next step." And it's funny that you mentioned it as well. So over the time, I think it was around already when I started out talking. But there's a project that Google created called Guac. — Niels Tanis 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 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 —Leslie Richardson So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in dotnet new podcast and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

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. —Sander ten Brinke 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 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. —José Simões 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 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. —Bryan Costanich So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in dotnet new podcast and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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! 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
