NuGet Fall 2017 Roadmap
Over the past 6 months, the NuGet team has been working hard to ensure the growth of the .NET ecosystem. NuGet has grown significantly during this timeframe: NuGet.org is closing in on 4 billion packages served (up from a billion packages just a year ago), we have enabled new .NET scenarios such as .NET Standard 2.0, and have improved the overall user experience of package authors and consumers using the service. Yet, a lot more remains to be done. Along the way, we made some mistakes that our community has rightfully called us out on.

The week in .NET – Rezoom.SQL, Protobuf in Orlando, and links!
Previous posts: Tool of the week: Rezoom.SQL Rezoom.SQL is an F# ORM for SQL databases.

Currently it supports SQLite, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. The type provider makes it fast and easy to write SQL statements, run them, and consume their results from your F# code with full type safety.

The week in .NET – Nuke, Warden.NET, .NET in Bangalore, and links!
Previous posts: Tool of the week: Nuke Nuke is a cross-platform build automation system with C# DSL, much like Cake. It features auto-completion, refactoring, and navigation in all IDEs. Nuke avoids complexity, and integrates as a normal project. Package of the week: Warden.NET The System.Diagnostics.Process class while useful does not have a concept for parent applications; while Windows itself does track parents, it does not track grandparents and processes can quickly become orphaned.
