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.

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.

Show Notes What do they go for? They go for one that's separated from the herd. And the idea behind cyber security nowadays should really actually be: put enough security controls in that they just go, "you know what? There's someone down the road that's got it all wide open. I'm just gonna go for them." And if you can just make yourself look as unappetizing and unappealing as possible, that's half the battle.
— Lianne Potter 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, Lianne Potter and Jeff Watkins of the Compromising Positions podcast joined us to talk a little bit about the practical side of cyber security. Both Lianne and Jeff are cyber security professionals and have a ton of experience in the industry. But I had them talk about cyber security from a developer's point of view: what can we do, what do we need to know, and how can we help our colleagues on a daily basis?
I think the other side's true as well.
I think companies in general need to encourage a more holistic, and shift-left, and integrated approach to security. I think we talk about that quite a bit about the idea of this should not be an "over the fence," because I guess there's two sides of the coin. One side saying, "oh look, there's the security team, they're the Department of Work prevention, they're the ones who are going to stop you." And there's the other side of that coin where nobody's bothered to ever include people from the security in their ways of working and daily practices

Show Notes I want it to be like one of those books that you can pick up and you can, like, you don't have to have .NET experience. You might, you know, maybe, you know, Java or maybe, you know, Python or something like that. You should be able to pick this book up and get to a point where you can actually build real world applications with .NET that are secure, they're fast, they're well tested. They have localization built in. They're put into containers that you can throw into like a Kubernetes. I wanted to get to that point where it's like, you could build applications that I've built like, say, with UiPath
— Dustin Metzgar 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, Dustin Metzgar joined us to talk about his new book ".NET in Action Second Edition." This book takes the first edition, written back in 2018, which targetted .NET Core 2 and upgrades and expands it to both cover a lot more content and to focus on .NET 8.
Along the way, we also discussed the basics of identity and the common pitfalls that developers fall into when they work with one of the current identity standards.
So certificates are still involved too because it's because you need that certificate to sign the tokens. And I think what's interesting about certificates is like you have that, you know, this kind of asymmetric encryption where, you know, you have a private key and then you publish a public key that everybody can see to use to kind of decrypt your, what you sign, what you encrypt. And that's a kind of a feature of like these identity providers.

Show Notes When you talk to the Temporal guys and look at the way that they've done some of their work is they have a... they have stuff that can run for years.

So for instance, they'll kick off a workflow for one of their customers, kicks off a workflow when the customer's created, and that workflow is like managed by Temporal for as long as that customer is a customer. So it could be, you know, I don't know, occasionally sending out an email to, you know, "happy birthday" or something, or sending them promotions or whatever. So they see, they see workflows as like lifetime things

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, John Kattenhorn joined us to talk about Temporal.io and their platform for building durable workflows which can operate for years at a time. John in the CEO of Applicita and wanted to talk about the ways that developers can build applications and workflows which can live in the cloud for a very long time.
And the great thing about Temporal is it manages all of those resources for you.
So if you imagined me and you trying to do that, we'd end up standing up, I don't know, a running service or something that was constantly polling the data, looking for eligible customers or something. You'd be burning some resources looking at that stuff, and that's not how they do that. So if you've got like a million customers, the Temporal system dehydrates everything that isn't relevant and only hydrates the workflows that have an action to perform

Show Notes Uno Platform started off as the core UI framework. UI and non UI, because as part of Uno Platform itself, you have some non UI APIs like accelerometer and like these device sensors that you can use in a cross platform manner. So that part is the core framework, which is the backbone to everything that we built on top of it.

— Martin Zikmund
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, Martin Zikmund joined us to talk about Uno Platform and how it's way more than just a UI framework. It has support for APIs such as reading device sensors like accelerometers, too. But the bread and butter of Uno Platform, like AvaloniaUI, comes from the fact that you can use the familiar WPF syntax and either the new MVUX architecture or the more familiar to most MVU architecture to build your apps.
Yeah, ideally it should work on any Linux where .NET runs.
And we are currently using GTK as the underlying framework that simplifies our like that access to Linux specific APIs. So there is kind of a middleware layer of GTK. And you know, that makes the development for us much easier because it already has those shims for different versions of Linux and so on built in.
