.NET Aspire is a new cloud-ready stack tailored for .NET, enabling developers to quickly and easily develop distributed applications. You’ve probably seen demos showing large .NET solutions with lots of fancy cloud dependencies and thought, well, maybe I’d use that someday if I’m starting on a giant enterprise Redis Kafka Postgres cloud-a-ganza, but it’s not really something I can use today.

Easily Create Bindings for .NET MAUI with Native Library Interop
by Guest Rachel Kang (SHE/HER)- 0 replies
- 164 views
In today’s app development landscape, the ability to extend .NET applications by leveraging native capabilities is invaluable. The .NET MAUI handler architecture empowers developers to directly manipulate native controls with .NET code, even allowing for the seamless creation of cross-platform custom controls. Yet, the potential extends beyond just native platform APIs. What if you could also tap into native library APIs, unlocking even more possibilities? Native Library Interop for .NET MAUI, previously known as the Slim Binding approach, is an alternative method for integrating native libraries into .NET MAUI applications, including .NET for Android, .NET for iOS, an…

Why and How to Execute GraphQL Queries in .NET
by Guest Frank Boucher- 0 replies
- 64 views
Most (if not all) projects are consuming APIs to get data, and there many ways to do it. One of the most popular ways is to use REST APIs. However, REST APIs have some limitations, such as over-fetching (forcing the client to load all properties even when only a few are needed for the UI). GraphQL is a great alternative to REST APIs because it allows you to request only the data you need, which can help reduce the amount of data transferred over the network and improve performance. It also allows you to request information coming from multiple resources in a single request, thus avoiding multiple “round trips” that can negatively impact performance and the user experience…
