    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. 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 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.

    Open-Source and Our Digital Legacies with Scott Harden
    RJJ Software's Software Development Service

    This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Podcasting Services, whether your company is looking to elevate its UK operations or reshape its US strategy, we can provide tailored solutions that exceed expectations.

    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.

    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.

    The Spirit of Open Source in a Modern .NET World with Scott Harden
    RJJ Software's Software Development Service

    This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Podcasting Services, whether your company is looking to elevate its UK operations or reshape its US strategy, we can provide tailored solutions that exceed expectations.

    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. It's really cool just to watch this thing grow."— 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 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.

    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 part of what Resilient Programming is about and what the framework does is that it kind of like tries to provide a nice abstraction, a developer-friendly abstraction for implementing distributed systems."— Thomas Sylvest

    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, Thomas Sylvest joined us to talk about both Resilient Programming and Cleipnir .NET - a framework that Thomas worked on to implement the concepts of Resilient Programming in .NET applications. Cleipnir, and Resilient Programming, are fantastic for supporting message-driven architectures; whether you've built a monolith, series of microservices, or anything in between.

    "But the idea is the same, kind of like that you try and remember the result of actions that you've done in a way that if you then start again, you won't... you kind of like you'll check in your little notebook if you already performed this action. If you did then you'll just return the result of the previous execution. If you look in your in your notebook and you can see, 'okay actually I haven't done this before' you will then perform the action"— Thomas Sylvest

    Powering Up with Erik Jensen: An Introduction to EF Core Power Tools
    Metalama

    This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by Metalama, reduce your boilerplate code by up to 15% with Metalama's C#-to-C# template engine and reduce your code complexity today!

    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.

    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

    "Okay. So I’ll come on to that point is that’s obviously something i’d like to talk about. But a couple of things I should mention, I guess. 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. So I think that really helps."—Adrian Mouat

    In this episode, Adrian Mouat joined us to talk about Chainguard, what a distroless container is, a number of tools that you can use to check whether your containers have any CVEs present, attestations and reproducibility, and a number of ways to secure your applications once they are running in the wild.

    "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 it’s sort of proving that certain steps were taken."— Adrian Mouat

    CQRS, System Maintainability, and Pragmatic Tech Choices with Dejan Miličić
    Metalama

    This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by Metalama, reduce your boilerplate code by up to 15% with Metalama's C#-to-C# template engine and reduce your code complexity today!

    Show Notes

    "Essentially, when you look at it, what we are doing, we are not building software. We are changing it, we are maintaining it. Because when you look at the typical lifecycle of the application, enterprise one I would say, or any big system where you invest lots of time lots of money building it, you want to exploit this for 5-10-15 years hopefully. 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.

    LinqPad and Building Developer Platforms with Joe Albahari
    RJJ Software's Software Development Service

    This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Podcasting Services, whether your company is looking to elevate its UK operations or reshape its US strategy, we can provide tailored solutions that exceed expectations.

    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. How cool is that?

    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.

    Generative AI for .NET Developers with Amit Bahree
    Avalonia XPF

    This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Podcasting Services, where your podcast becomes extraordinary.

    Show Notes

    Maybe start with Generative AI. As you, I think, touched on, it's different from what we call "traditional AI." And I also want to acknowledge the term "traditional AI"l is very odd to say it's not traditional. It's very much prevalent and relevant and active

    — Amit Bahree

    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, Amit Bahree joined us to talk about what generative AI is, what it isn't, and how it's different from, so called, "traditional AI". He also talks through his new book "Generative AI in Action by Amit Bahree," a book that I had the good fortune to read ahead of publication and can definitely recommend.

    I'm not asking is it going to replace an engineer, but like, can an engineer for now just ignore it a little bit?

    —Jamie Taylor

    Yeah, no. So, no, it's not replacing any engineers, I can tell you that. No.

    Navigating the ASP .NET Core Maze: From Middleware to Minimal APIs and Modern C# with Andrew Lock
    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, 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.
