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.

Show Notes And keep in mind that, not to bash OWASP and the top ten at all because I'm a big fan of OWASP, but people always tell me like, "yeah, I'm OWASP compliant," and that's the biggest BS, to be honest. 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.

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

Yeah. 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.

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.

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.

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 Mark J Price, a software developer and educator with over 20 years of experience. We talked about .NET 8, Blazor, server-side rendering, and more. 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
