An Introduction to DataFrame

Prashanth GovindarajanDecember 16, 2019Dec 16, 201912/16/19

Last month, we announced .NET support for Jupyter notebooks, and showed how to use them to work with .NET for Apache Spark and ML.NET. Today, we're announcing the preview of a DataFrame type for .NET to make data exploration easy. If you've used Python to manipulate data in notebooks, you'll already be familiar with the concept of a DataFrame.

Update on .NET Standard adoption

Immo Landwerth [MSFT]August 7, 2019Aug 7, 201908/7/19

It's about two years ago that I announced .NET Standard 2.0. Since then we've been working hard to increase the set of .NET Standard-based libraries for .NET. This includes many of the BCL components, such as the Windows Compatibility Pack, but also other popular libraries, such as the JSON.NET, the Azure SDK, or the AWS SDK. In this blog post

Try the new System.Text.Json APIs

Immo Landwerth [MSFT]June 13, 2019Jun 13, 201906/13/19

For .NET Core 3.0, we're shipping a brand new namespace called System.Text.Json with support for a reader/writer, a document object model (DOM), and a serializer. In this blog post, I'm telling you why we built it, how it works, and how you can try it. We also have a video: Getting the new JSON library The future of JS

Handling a new era in the Japanese calendar in .NET

Ron Petrusha (MSFT)April 2, 2019Apr 2, 201904/2/19

Typically, calendar eras represent long time periods. In the Gregorian calendar, for example, the current era spans (as of this year) 2,019 years. In the Japanese calendar, however, a new era begins with the reign of a new emperor. On April 30, 2019, Emperor Akihito is expected to abdicate, which will bring to an end the Heisei era. On the fol

Floating-Point Parsing and Formatting improvements in .NET Core 3.0

Tanner Gooding [MSFT]March 5, 2019Mar 5, 201903/5/19

Starting back with the .NET Core 2.1 release, we were making iterative improvements to the floating-point parsing and formatting code in .NET Core. Now, in .NET Core 3.0 Preview 3, we are nearing completion of this work and would like to share more details about these changes and some of the differences you might see in your applications. The

Typically, calendar eras represent long time periods. In the Gregorian calendar, for example, the current era spans (as of this year) 2,018 years. In the Japanese calendar, however, a new era begins with the reign of a new emperor. On April 30, 2019, Emperor Akihito is expected to abdicate, which will bring to an end the Heisei era. On the fol

Cross-platform Time Zones with .NET Core

christopher roberts msftNovember 13, 2018Nov 13, 201811/13/18

Developing applications that span multiple operating systems in .NET Core while working with Time Zone information can lead to unexpected results for developers not familiar with the differences in how operating systems manage Time Zones. In this post, we will explore those differences and the challenges they present. Reproducing the issue S

Building C# 8.0

Mads Torgersen - MSFTNovember 12, 2018Nov 12, 201811/12/18

Building C# 8.0 The next major version of C# is C# 8.0. It's been in the works for quite some time, even as we built and shipped the minor releases C# 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3, and I'm quite excited about the new capabilities it will bring. The current plan is that C# 8.0 will ship at the same time as .NET Core 3.0. However, the features will star

Understanding the Whys, Whats, and Whens of ValueTask

Stephen Toub - MSFTNovember 7, 2018Nov 7, 201811/7/18

The .NET Framework 4 saw the introduction of the System.Threading.Tasks namespace, and with it the Task class. This type and the derived Task<TResult> have long since become a staple of .NET programming, key aspects of the asynchronous programming model introduced with C# 5 and its async / await keywords. In this post, I'll cov

Using .NET Hardware Intrinsics API to accelerate machine learning scenarios

DanMoseley - MSFTOctober 10, 2018Oct 10, 201810/10/18

This week's blog post is by Brian Lui, one of our summer interns on the .NET team, who's been hard at work. Over to Brian: Hello everyone! This summer I interned in the .NET team, working on ML.NET, an open-source machine learning platform which enables .NET developers to build and use machine learning models in their .NET applications.
