We’re back for a new year of .NET! For this first week of 2016, we’re off to a great start with two packages and lots of interesting posts.<\/p>\n
To read last week’s post, see The week in .NET – 12\/29\/2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n This week on our On.NET<\/a> live YouTube show, we’ll speak with Mads Torgersen<\/a>, probably mostly about C#. Please feel free to send me questions in advance, or to attend the show live and ask Mads questions directly on the chat.<\/p>\n ReactiveUI uses Reactive Extensions<\/a> for .NET to create testable UI that are compatible with Xamarin (iOS, Android, and Mac), WPF, Windows Forms, UWP, etc.<\/p>\n Here’s an example that illustrates how Reactive programming is very appropriate for UI, by showing how to throttle change events on a search textbox before sending queries to a search service:<\/p>\n You can see this sample code in context on the ReactiveUI site<\/a>.<\/p>\n The ReactiveUI community is very open to contributions: you can check out what’s up for grabs<\/a>, and they also have a tag for first-timer only issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you think declaring ASP.NET MVC routes involves too many “magic strings”, you’re going to love TypedRouting<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here’s how you would declare a In this example, both the controller name and the action method names are checked at compile-time. Even the signature of the method can be checked during compilation, and will be flagged as an error if it changes and becomes incompatible with its usage.<\/p>\n The library doesn’t stop at adding routes, and also provides a range of utilities to use the routes. For example, you can get a link using the route defined above:<\/p>\n This week, the New England Microsoft Developers group<\/a> has John Pelak talking about Azure ML – machine learning for all of us<\/a>, on Thursday, January 7, from 6:30PM to 8:30PM, in Burlington, MA.<\/p>\n Start your New Year off right with the epic conclusion of the 2015 F# Advent Calendar in English<\/a>:<\/p>\n Check out F# Weekly<\/a> for more great content from the F# community.<\/p>\n And this is it for this week!<\/p>\n 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? We’d love to hear from you, and feature your contributions on future posts:<\/p>\n This week’s post (and future posts) also contains news I first read on ASP.NET’s community spotlight<\/a>, on F# weekly<\/a>, on ASP.NET Weekly<\/a>, and on Chris Alcock’s The Morning Brew<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re back for a new year of .NET!
