Great arguments.
Great episode, dear Tim, Thank you and keep it up.
Hi Tim, I am a desktop developer who's done extensive work with. Net Framework 4x. My challenge with migration to. Net 5+ is the lack of support for report engines. Do you have any advice on what is available out there for such cases? Most of my customers require reporting tools to do their work.
How timely. I just had to upgrade an old UI because it was on 4.5, and had to upgrade to at least 4.6.2 due to a security issue. The application did not work with TLS 1.2, and the company had taken away 1.0 and 1.1 and certain features stopped working. I know it's not exactly what you are referring to on this video, but the title caught my attention.
Excellent points. And let's not forget stuff like the jaw dropping MS decision to suddenly deprecate (ie, remove completely) charts in .NET Winforms, leaving us in the science and engineering world having to scramble (if we do decide to upgrade from .NET Framework to .NET) to find an open source replacement, and hoping it will last a few years and is secure and actually works, and start from scratch learning how to make it all work in the new software, and then rewriting any charting classes we've developed, and totally re-write the MANY apps using Framework charts, and on and on. Personally, I was hoping .NET's future held some big improvements for controls like charts, but it's just the opposite.
I would like a video about setting up repos in .NET , sharing code between repos or making monorepos etc. Best approaches. 🙂 And thank you for making coding easier…..
This is an awesome video thanks 🙂
Any discount on Black Friday for All access?😅
I agree with what you said Tim, but with the current version release model you gonna get very soon at the same position.
Great content, Tim!
I love the Dev Questions section. I watched every video in this playlist, some of them a few times.
Thank you for the high quality versatile content!
The audio is delayed…
Hey Tim, i really enjoy your videos. The quality is very very good! I have a little question. I am building a software to configure usb devices and need to choose a user interface technology for my c# application. I have knowledge in forms but want something new. Do you would still go with wpf for desktop or build it with maui or blazor+maui?
This app should run only on windows 11.
Thanks for tipps!
I am having a lots of troubles upgrading my .net 7 blazor app to .net 8 specially with identity authorization.
Isn't the intro image from the latest Dev Questions episode, 'What Are The Steps To Quickly Debugging An Application?'? I just saw that video and almost clicked away, thinking I was rewatching it. Either way, loving the content!
Great content thanks!
I miss the videos from 4-5 years ago when it was mostly about code.
Where is the Tim of old ? Building a Suggestion Site App – Lesson 31 'A YEAR ago Tim'. This is when you went from coding God to someone who just talks a lot, and reiterates a lot. Yes I could stop watching you, so could everybody else and where would yo ube then. But as a hiuge fan I'm hanging around to see if you pull something out of your hat and again show us your magic.
Intro says debugging tips
love your videos but i gotta say it… intro is way too long lol
