The Modern .NET Show

Dustin Metzgar discusses his new book '.NET in Action Second Edition' focusing on .NET 8, identity basics, and common developer pitfalls. Topics include transitioning to modern .NET, making WPF apps cross-platform, challenges of 'dot net' in search engines, and understanding tokens and certificates for identity verification.

John Kattenhorn discusses orchestrating success in distributed systems with a focus on security and simplicity. They explore how Temporal manages long-term workflows efficiently, handle distributed services like e-commerce transactions, and simplify system workflow with Avalonia XPF and NService Bus. The importance of developers understanding infrastructure, embracing DevOps, and setting up the Temporal SDK for orchestrating success in distributed systems is highlighted.

Martin Zikmund, a passionate .NET developer and Microsoft MVP, dives into the versatile Uno Platform, which transcends a mere UI framework. He emphasizes its robust support for non-UI APIs like accelerometers and highlights seamless compatibility with Linux via GTK. The conversation reveals how Uno allows for maintaining a consistent user experience across platforms while integrating effortlessly with Microsoft's WinUI. Zikmund also discusses the importance of collaboration between designers and developers, particularly through tools like Figma.

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.

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.
