We need to have a talk about making life easier for newcomers to .NET

• LetsShip

  5 2 0.0 C#

  Let's learn devops by shipping a final product in .NET 5

This - https://github.com/EliotJones/LetsShip - hopefully gets you some of the way, it uses VS on Windows for development but I can't imagine the experience in Rider or VS Code for Linux is too disimilar. Individual steps here https://github.com/EliotJones/LetsShip/tree/main/docs/posts

I need to complete the full guide at some point but the end result is an application deployed on Linux with both a web app and independently scalable crawling services with zero downtime deployments. Hosted site here: https://pricefalcon.me/

For a simpler deployment without k3s, this guide is the one I originally followed for my trends site and should still work for .NET 6. https://www.hanselman.com/blog/publishing-an-aspnet-core-web...

• Entity Framework

  87 13,325 9.9 C#

  EF Core is a modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations.

  

1. Ability to pull non entity types out of the database without a whole lot of boilerplate. See the bizarre obstinacy here: https://github.com/dotnet/efcore/issues/10753

2. Any kind of bulk insert/delete/update ability. It's been a "to do" for years now.

3. Much better query composability.

Basically their response is to just use raw SQL for anything that isn't a unit-of-work feature. They're missing a lot of benefits that a ORM could provide when they say that.

Honestly the ef.core team feels like a lot of rejects that were stack ranked out to their own team. I know that is mean to say, but they iterate extremely slowly compared to teams like asp.net .core, visual studio code, c# language group, f# language group and probably several others.

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• Moq

  26 5,215 6.6 C#

  Discontinued Repo for managing Moq 4.x [Moved to: https://github.com/moq/moq]

  

> edit: one more qualm, the Mockito equivalent for C#, NSubstitute, cannot mock a concrete class, only an interface.

I've never heard of NSubstitute (that doesn't mean it's bad), but most places I've worked at typically use Moq (https://github.com/moq/moq4) which does support interfaces and classes.
