Implement Open-source library guidance

Part 1	Implement Open-source library guidance
Part 2	OpenSource library – Cross-platform targeting
Part 3	OpenSource library-Dependencies
Part 4	OpenSource library- Source Link
Part 5	OpenSource library-versioning
Part 6	OpenSource library- Breaking changes
Part 7	OpenSource library- conclusion

I have written previously a booklet about “Making Open Source Component from idea to deploy With examples from .NET Core” .

Now Microsoft and contributors make a library guidance for OpenSource projects at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/library-guidance/ . I will take as a working point my component, https://github.com/ignatandrei/AOP_With_Roslyn , and see where it goes and how many things I already implemented.

The items are:

Cross-platform targeting
Strong naming
NuGet and open-source libraries
Dependencies
SourceLink
Publishing
Versioning

I will implement each one in one blog post

My Async Await tutorials

Rule of thumb: just await / async from top to down.

To deeply understand async await in .NET Core , please follow the following resources:

1. https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechDays/Techdays-2014-the-Netherlands/Async-programming-deep-dive – to gain inner knowledge about what code is async / await

2. Read https://blog.stephencleary.com/2012/02/async-and-await.html to have started into async await

3. Read MSDN for a better understanding : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj991977.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

4. Common pitfalls in ASP.NET Framework( not in console! ) with async await: https://blog.stephencleary.com/2012/07/dont-block-on-async-code.html

5. No problem in ASP.NET Core: https://blog.stephencleary.com/2017/03/aspnetcore-synchronization-context.html

Happy reading !

[ADCES] Meetup Xamarin

The ADCES meetup was about Xamarin – https://www.meetup.com/Bucharest-A-D-C-E-S-Meetup/events/255822334/ . Andrei Nitescu (https://github.com/andreinitescu ) and David Ortinau(https://twitter.com/davidortinau), Senior Program Manager, Mobile Dev Tools at Microsoft. Xamarin Mobile SDKs participated to the meeting.

There were 3 hours well spent learning inner workings and the future of Xamarin.

I was thinking to have a page for my programming related activities in each year. It is a good opportunity to remember what I have done and if I do something right with my time. So , without other discussion , here they are ( so far …) : http://msprogrammer.serviciipeweb.ro/my-activities-2018/

.NET Core And Angular at CodeCamp Bucuresti

I have presented on Saturday at https://bucuresti.codecamp.ro/ a technical talk about how to make a fast POC that can run on Web, Desktop and Mobile , The presentation will show a clear example of code that is necessary for that ( code at https://github.com/ignatandrei/angNetCoreDemo/ ).

You can see working demo without CORS at https://ang-net-core.herokuapp.com/ , with CORS at https://ignatandrei.github.io/AngNetCoreDemo/ and a Mobile app at https://app.bitrise.io/artifact/9332781/p/ef7a0b7e945d69e01697390dcef867de

It was a good opportunity to learn something new at the conference – many good technical tracks and old friends that is an opportunity to see again.

I was wandering how to make more attractive the application – and also gain some interactivity. I was thinking of the possibility to can say what authors / books did you have read – and make some charts from it.

And here was the principal problem: how, between 2 versions of the data, to remember the authors read ? How to make the authros the same between the various awards ?

Turns out it is not so complicated – the only thing is to not version the “read” database .

So I turn out with just a database per table : one for Nobel, one for Booker, one for Bill Gates books, one for my books, one for reading list and one for all authors. Not a good thing, but this happens when you want to keep the database into the browser and updatable…
