Asp.Net Core

Developing & Working with .NET Containers on Windows ARM Devices

I am by no means a cloud-native developer, I am a client developer. I have spent some time though to get a general understanding about microservices, images, containers, docker, and all the buzz words that surround the topic.

From there, I went down a rabbit hole of educating myself more by taking Microsoft Learn training courses, watching the new container…

Add ASP.NET Core's Dependency Injection into Xamarin Apps with HostBuilder

Deploying an ASP.NET Core app to Linux on Azure App Service

You probably wouldn’t expect this blog post from me as I run away from building any web apps, but I have been messing around with ASP.NET Core inside of Visual Studio for Mac. I thought it would be really cool to take our default app for items and deploy it to an Azure Linux based App Service. Because… why not?!?! Also, I will make Hanselman [http://twitter.com/shanselman]proud. So, first things first.. The backend. My Items on ASP.NET Core If you head over to your Visual Studio for Mac [https…
