To read last week’s post, see The week in .NET – 3/1/2016.

On.NET

Last week, Rachel Reese was on the show to talk about her work with F# at Jet.com. This week, we’ll talk performance with Nick Craver, who works for StackOverflow.

Project of the week: Humanitarian Toolbox’s allReady

allReady is a project managed by the charity organization Humanitarian Toolbox that is designed to assist the management of community preparedness campaigns. It’s being tested by the American Red Cross on a campaign to install smoke alarms within homes in the Chicago area. The project is built with ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework 7. It is also open source.

This is a great opportunity to get your feet wet with open source and .NET Core, while contributing to great humanitarian causes. Please head over to the allReady project’s home page to learn more.

Contribute to the week in .NET

As always, this weekly post couldn’t exist without community contributions, and I’d like to thank all those who sent links and tips. You can participate too. Did you write a great blog post, or just read one? Do you want everyone to know about an amazing new contribution or a useful library? Did you make or play a great game built on .NET? We’d love to hear from you, and feature your contributions on future posts:

This week’s post (and future posts) also contains news I first read on ASP.NET’s community spotlight, on F# weekly, on ASP.NET Weekly, and on Chris Alcock’s The Morning Brew.
