On .NET<\/h2>\n

Last week, we spoke with Pratap Lakshman about MS Test, and about running tests for .NET Core in general.<\/p>\n

This week, we’ll speak with Jeremy Kuhne about long path support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Package of the week: Stuntman<\/h2>\n

Testing and debugging user-specific scenarios can be cumbersome. Switching between users in a test environment should be fast and easy. Stuntman<\/a> is a library for impersonating users during development that leverages .NET Claims Identity.<\/p>\n

Book of the week: Machine Learning Projects for .NET Developers by Mathias Brandewinder<\/h2>\n

\"Machine Machine Learning Projects for .NET Developers<\/a> will teach you how to build smarter .NET applications that learn from data, using simple algorithms and techniques that can be applied to a wide range of real-world problems. You’ll code machine learning logic in F# in the familiar setting of Visual Studio. If you’re new to F#, this book will give you everything you need to get started. If you’re already familiar with F#, this is your chance to use the language in an exciting new context.<\/p>\n

Game of the Week: Smashy Brick<\/h2>\n

Smashy Brick<\/a> is a casual new age take on Breakout or Arkanoid which features 90 beautiful hand crafted levels. Instead of moving a paddle left to right, players draw trampolines that must be timed and angled perfectly in order to smash the bricks. Smashy Brick features the ability to unlock up to 12 characters with unique abilities. Don’t be fooled by the cute characters and environment, the levels can be quite challenging at times! <\/p>\n
