C# 8 Interfaces: Dangerous Assumptions in Default Implementation ⚠️

One of the features that is being promoted about C# 8 interfaces is that we can add members to an interface without breaking existing implementers. ✅

But we can cause a lot of pain if we aren't careful. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let's look at some code that makes bad assumptions so that we can understand the importance of avoiding these problems. ⛔️

Using the ReferenceAssemblies NuGet package to build .NET Framework libraries on Linux, without installing Mono 💎

In this post I show how you can build .NET projects that target .NET Framework versions on Linux, without using Mono! 🤷🏻‍♂️

By using the new Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies NuGet packages from Microsoft you don't need to install anything more than the .NET Core SDK! 🔥

Working with Expression Trees in C# 🗂

Expression trees is an obscure, although very interesting feature in .NET. Most people probably think of it as something synonymous with object-relational mapping frameworks, but despite being its most common use case, it’s not the only one. There are a lot of creative things you can do with expression trees, including code generation, transpilation, metaprogramming, and more.

In this article I will give an overview of what expression trees are and how to work with them, as well as show some interesting scenarios where I’ve seen them used to great effect. ✅

Proto.Actor 💎

Cross-platform actors for .NET, Go, Java and Kotlin. ⚡️

The Actor Model provides a higher level of abstraction for writing concurrent and distributed systems. It alleviates the developer from having to deal with explicit locking and thread management, making it easier to write correct concurrent and parallel systems. ✨

Features ✅:
• Simple Concurrency & Distribution
• Extreme Performance
• Resilient by Design
• Built on standards
• Virtual Actors
• Distributed by Default
• Supervision & monitoring
• Communications on gRPC

Lowering in C#: What's really going on in your code? 👾

If you're attending NDC you probably think you know what a foreach loop does - it iterates over a collection, right? ✅

BUT do you know how? Do you know what the C# compiler does when you write a foreach loop? What about a lambda expression? Or the re-entrant magic that is a yield return statement❓

In this session we'll dive into Roslyn, the C# compiler, and learn about lowering and how it helps the compiler do its job, and what it does to your code. In the process you'll gain the skills to identify some of the common performance pitfalls of .NET, as well as just get a deeper understanding of what the code you write really does. 💎

Nuke Build 🗂

As C# developers, we are spoiled with a great language and awesome IDEs.

Why do most automation systems never really match the level of convenience and integration that we're used to?

NUKE is different. 💎

It is fully based on C# console applications and uses the type system to its full extent.

You want your auto-completion, package management, debugging, refactorings, formatting, and navigation back? It’s available right there❗️

Source Link 🐞

Source Link is a language- and source-control agnostic system for providing first-class source debugging experiences for binaries.

The goal of the project is to enable anyone building NuGet libraries to provide source debugging for their users with almost no effort.

Microsoft libraries, such as .NET Core and Roslyn have enabled Source Link.

Source Link is supported by Microsoft. ✅
