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 Jeremy Sinclair about how it's vital that developers understand the code that they are looking to fix, especially when the code they are fixing is complex. Sinclair also emphasises the importance of collective learning and collaboration in the workplace - it's never a competition. But one of the biggest things, says Sinclair, is our ability to learn in the open, using open-source technologies.
"We can apply this over here, if we want this to work together as a full solution. I'll take this part and we need to upgrade this. I'm like, 'wow, this is awesome.' It was like full collaboration because there was so much stuff that I figured out by reading through the docs. I can't tell you how many times I've built the project, debugged, stepped through" - Jeremy Sinclair.
So let's sit back, open up a terminal, type in `dotnet new podcast` and we'll dive into the core of Modern .NET.

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 Scott Hunter about the dynamic world of .NET, open-source, and a bunch of the related technologies that Microsoft have released. Things like DevContainers:
"Yeah. So I would tell people that listen to this: please check out dev containers. I waited way too long to check them out. I knew they existed for a long time and just was too busy and never actually dug deep into it. And now that I have, it's a really cool feature" - Scott Hunter.
Along the way, we touch on the fact that .NET is not just open-source but actively accepts contributions from the wider development community - something unheard of in the .NET Framework days. As an example, .NET Seven had over 1,000 contributions from the developer community - not counting the changes that Microsoft's engineers made to it.
We also touch on some advice that Scott has for participating in open-source communities, along with some hints as to how Microsoft helps to lead the community around their open-source projects. There's some great advice here, from someone who works in enterprise-lead open-source everyday.

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 Peter Bull about the Windows App SDK and the hidden bonuses of learning in the open via blogging, podcasting, and creating tutorials. We both also talk about how we feel that Windows as a compilation target has been lost in the cross-platform shuffle recently:
"Yeah, exactly. And I think that's the simple fact that gets missed with... there's a lot of talk about the cross-platform stuff, but just not enough about just write a Windows app if that's where you're going.
And as I say, you get a lot of the benefits of hooking into the really cool features of Windows 11 that you have there that you can leverage. You can leverage that in part or in whole. It's really up to you. And it's still Modern .NET. You can still use the latest version of .NET with Windows App SDK, like the older platforms that might be more limited, you benefit from all of that extra functionality that you get. So when the next version of .NET comes out, that's going to be supported and so on.
So you're not having to compromise with .NET, unlike with UWP, which is still around, that is stuck where it is. It doesn't benefit from the latest version of .NET. So that's a good migration. If you've got a UWP or Universal Windows platform app, you can migrate that to Windows App SDK and then you're going to immediately be able to use the latest version of .NET, which is something you can't do if you stick with it" - Peter Bull.
Whether you're a developer looking to enhance your Windows application development skills or simply interested in the latest advancements in Windows development, this podcast episode provides valuable insights and perspectives.

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 Josh Garverick about event-driven and domain-driven design, and his recently published book "Implementing Event-Driven Microservices Architecture in .NET 7". When talking about the book, he had this to say about it's target audience:
"Absolutely. And one of the aims, I think for at least this book was to make sure that it's kind of applicable across a lot of different audiences, not just the folks coming in super green and just looking at it like, I've never seen this stuff before.
There are some disclaimers in the beginning of the book, obviously saying, 'you should probably have at least a baseline understanding of things like domain-driven design containerization and things like that,' but we'll link out to resources to get yourself up to speed. So even if you don't have any background in that stuff, there's at least a place for you to go out and get that information and then come back and then start going through that journey." - Josh Garverick
Not only is his book designed for people, regardless of where they are on their journey with .NET, but, as we'll find out in the episode, it's also filled with pragmatic lessons that developers can apply to any application that they're working on.

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 Irina Dominte about web development and API design. Irina offers valuable insights for beginners, the conversation covers topics such as building a strong foundation, learning cloud technologies, adopting modern technologies, API design and development, importance of testing, and choosing the right approach. With practical tips and a simplified approach, this episode provides a wealth of knowledge for those looking to excel in web development and API design.

"Yeah, so I never done a fully Rest API in production. To be fair to me and to the book, a real Rest API is the API that actually respects the REST constraint - the four of them, not the six of them. So it has the first constraint as being the client server architecture. There is two entities involved, the client and the server that need to talk to each other. And then we have statelessness like we're using HTTP we shouldn't keep state as we used to do with older versions of .NET. So everything should be self contained in that specific request or response. Why not? Okay, so then we have the cache. Your resources should be able to be cached like the server marks the response as being cachable, the client understands and looks at the header and so on. So state machine-wise using the right verbs, right?"
Plus, we discuss the recent release of Irina Dominte's comprehensive book on the subject - Web Development for Absolute Beginners - and why it's an essential purchase for anyone wanting to learn how to create web-based APIs with Modern .NET.
