Do you want to try out Blazor, but you’re not a Windows person? Strictly a Linux developer? We’ll you’re in luck. One of the goals of .NET Core is to be cross-platform, so today we’ll see just how “cross-platform” it really is with Blazor, Microsoft’s hot new front end development project.
I’m going to show you a cool new feature in .NET Core 3.0. Let’s say you want to create a simple, lean executable you can build and drop on to a server. And it doesn't have the .NET Core runtime.
You may have heard the term “code smells” lately, it seems its being talked about frequently again. In this short post I’ll explain what they are, and a few of them you may run across.
Recently I found an ORM that I really like: Dapper. It’s small, simple, and fast. It can be useful on even the smallest of projects. Dapper is a simple object mapper for .Net that extends the IDbConnection interface. It contains helpers that execute queries and map results in a very elegant way. The best part is the performance is close enough to plain old SQL that it’s well worth it. It will reduce the amount of code you write as well, by a long shot.
So I started a little project on GitHub of some C# coding guidelines. I want to do this to open up a community driven discussion about guidelines and best practices. I don't want it to be written gospel by me, but rather contributions from other C# coders that we can all learn from.
