To read last week’s post, see The Year in .NET – Visual Studio 2017 RC and .NET Core updated, On .NET with Stephen Cleary and Luis Valencia, Ulterius, Inferno, Bastion, LoGeek Night.
I might not post next week, for reasons you’ll surely understand, or I might do so one or two days late… Happy holidays!
On .NET
Last week, we had Karel Zikmund, Wes Haggard, and Immo Landwerth on the show to talk about .NET Core triage and project management:
Because it’s the holiday season, we won’t have have a live show until next year, but I will publish more of the short interviews that we recorded at the MVP Summit, so stay tuned for new videos on Channel 9 and YouTube.
App of the week: ShareX
ShareX is an astonishingly complete screen capture tool that supports both still and video capture, and upload to popular file sharing services. The best thing about it however is that it’s free, open source, and written in C#.
