Microsoft reveals what’s to come in .NET 9

Microsoft released .NET 8 a couple of months ago, and even though .NET 9 isn’t expected to be available until the end of this year, the company is sharing some insight into what it has planned for this upcoming release. In addition to releasing the roadmap, the company also announced that the first preview of .NET 9 and third preview of .NET Aspire are now available. 

According to Microsoft, the main focus areas for improvements will be cloud-native and AI app development. 

“We’ve spent the last several years building out strong cloud native fundamentals, like runtime performance and application monitoring. We will continue that effort. We’re also turning our focus to delivering paved paths to popular production infrastructure and services, for example running in Kubernetes and using managed database and caching services like Redis,” the .NET team at Microsoft wrote in a blog post. 

For improved cloud-native performance, the company has been working on Native AOT, which are apps that have been compiled to native code ahead-of-time (AOT), resulting in faster startup times and smaller memory footprints.

Despite its benefits, Native AOT requires the use of many tools that developers wouldn’t typically be working with, which makes it inaccessible. A big part of .NET 9 will be updating Visual Studio support to make it more accessible to developers. 

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code will also include new development experiences for .NET Aspire, a development stack for building cloud-native applications. New enhancements will be related to configuring components, debugging and hot reload for the AppHost and child processes, and integration with the developer dashboard. 

It is also working with its Azure Container Apps partners to ensure that .NET 9 apps can be easily scaled within their Kubernetes environments. 

.NET 9 will also include features that enable developers to incorporate AI into their applications. Microsoft will continue improving the libraries and documentation for OpenAI and OSS models. It will also continue improving the process for working with Semantic Kernel, OpenAI, and Azure SDK.

The company plans to update its ChatGPT + Enterprise Data with Azure OpenAI and Cognitive Search .NET sample as well. 

“OpenAI has sparked excitement among developers by offering the opportunity to transform their applications with AI. Over the past year, Azure Open AI and .NET have been leveraged to create AI solutions, with Microsoft Copilot being the most popular. We will continue to work with customers looking for ways to use their C# skills to build this new class of apps, and to rapidly invest in our AI platform,” the team wrote. 

Other planned features are available in the .NET 9 Project Backlog, which is publicly available.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
