On .NET<\/h2>\n

We didn’t have a show last week, but we’re back this week with Rowan Miller to chat about Entity Framework Core 1.1<\/a> and .NET. The show is on Thursdays and begins at 10AM Pacific Time on Channel 9<\/a>. We’ll take questions on Gitter, on the dotnet\/home channel<\/a> and on Twitter. Please use the #onnet<\/code> tag. It’s OK to start sending us questions in advance if you can’t do it live during the show.<\/p>\n

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

Bond<\/a> is a battle-tested binary serialization format and library, similar to Google’s Protocol Buffer<\/a>. Bond works on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports C++, C#, and Python.<\/p>\n

To work with Bond, you start by defining your schema using an IDL<\/a>-like specification.<\/p>\n
