Uno Platform 5.3 adds full support for JetBrains Rider

Uno Platform 5.3 is now available, adding over 350 new improvements to the cross-platform .NET development tool.

According to the product team, the most notable change in this release is that JetBrains .NET IDE Rider is now officially supported. Previously, Rider could be used with Uno, but it required several setup steps to get started. Now the experience is more similar to what Visual Studio and VS Code developers experience. 

“What this means in practice is that you can enjoy the full set of developer productivity enhancers such as C# and XAML Hot Reload for Uno Platform apps and debugging,” the Uno product team wrote in a blog post

This release also features improvements to Hot Reload. There is a new visual indicator to better help developers monitor changes as they are coding, which displays new information whenever Hot Reload is triggered. 

Another update is the addition of two new UI controls: ItemsView and SelectorBar. ItemsView displays a collection of items in a customizable layout. It supports dynamic item arrangements, smooth scrolling, and virtualization. SelectorBar is a UI component that allows users to select from a set of options. 

Uno Platform 5.3 additionally features Open Sans as a new default font option to provide a more consistent look across targets. According to the product team, Segoe UI is the default font on WinUI, but that font isn’t available on macOS or Linux. Open Sans looks similar to Segoe UI and fits well with WinUI’s Fluent theme. 

It also now supports variable fonts, which are fonts that contain multiple files and characteristics, such as weight, width, or italic, rather than a single file. This support was needed because Open Sans is a variable font. Because it can be hard to use multi-file fonts in WinUI, the team is also introducing the ability to use a font manifest to specify where single file fonts and multiple file fonts can be used. 

Other features include simplified versioning, support for SkiaSharp 3 preview, removed support for .NET 7, and support for the .NET 9 preview. 

More information is available in the release blog post.

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.

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
