Dapr for .NET Developers is a great book, read in a weekend, to start gaining an understanding of what Dapr is and especially for .NET Developers. In this post, we will see how you can use .NET to create a service and run it with Dapr and what does this provides.

I am using Git for many, many years. I am a big fan of it. How could that be different when you had to use versioning systems like CVS, SVN… I even took influence so that the whole company I work for migrates to it.

Over the years, I have used different Git clients, tried to work only from my IDE without much liking it.

In the previous post “gRPC and C# 8 Async stream“, we looked at how gRPC server stream and C# 8 Async stream work great together. In this post, we are looking at the way we can, from the client, stop the server to stream results back.

gRPC and its idea to describe an API in a standardized file, which can generate both client and server code to interact in different languages is a compelling idea.
In this post, I would like to have a quick look at the experience you would have with gRPC streaming capability and the new C# 8 async streams, which sounds like a perfect match.

I like very much the idea of a .NET Generic Host in the MSDN documentation:

An object that encapsulates an app’s resources, such as:

• Dependency injection (DI)
• Logging
• Configuration
• IHostedService implementations

At work, we are planning to migrate our WPF application from .NET Framework 4.7 to .NET Core 3.0. The main reason for doing so is that it was always a big pain to organize the updates of the .NET Framework on our customer machines. So being able to bundle .NET Core with our application is a big plus for us. Then, for sure, we are looking for the performance improvements brought by .NET Core and finally the new capabilities brought by the fast pace of innovation of .NET Core.

As you might have guessed reading some of my older posts, I like to automate things which I believe a computer should do in place of humans.

Let’ see in this blog post the new possibility offered by .NET Core 3.0 preview 2 to load and unload assemblies at run time using AssemblyLoadContext.

On Saturday, June 2, 2018, I had the chance to participate in the .NET Core Community online Hackathon.

As I got up really early this Saturday morning, I took the opportunity to participate. My goal was to see something new and learn a bit about how .NET Core is built and gain some new experience.

Since Microsoft went to Windows as a service, so since Windows 10, I fully re-install my development machine, a Surface Book, with each main release of Windows.

As I hate to lose time, I searched a way to automate it, so that it is fast, repeatable and does the work, not me.
