🚀 .NET 10 and Visual Studio 2026 just dropped — and it’s shining brighter than ever! Guess what? Most of the updates are focused on AI-powered tools, performance optimization, observability, and new ways to help us build faster, more reliable, and modern applications. I can’t wait to explore all the new features and see how this version pushes software development to the next level. 💻✨ Aaaand, #Maui is stronger than ever! So, 2026 will be HUGE for .NET engineers. #AI #dotnet #MAUI #MAF #Agent #VSCode #VisualStudio #Microsoft #KeepLearning

🚀 New TekCasts Release! Every web server needs to know how to respond when someone visits a URL, clicks a link, or submits a form. That’s where routing comes in. In this new episode — Routing Basics — we’ll explore how to: ✅ Map URLs to server responses ✅ Handle GET vs. POST requests ✅ Serve different formats (HTML, JSON, etc.) This is the foundation for APIs, web apps, and dynamic content. 👉 Watch now: https://lnkd.in/dxgTD_BS #JavaScript #Nodejs #WebDevelopment #APIs #LearnToCode #BackendDevelopment

I'm excited to share my new open-source GitHub project: TaskbarLavaLamp! It's a simple utility that adds a relaxing, pixel-art lava lamp to your Windows taskbar. In order to make this work, I learned how to use P/Invoke to call the native Win32 API directly. - I used WS_EX_TRANSPARENT to make the window "click-through," so it never blocks the taskbar underneath. - I used WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW to hide the app from the main task list, making it feel truly integrated. - I wrote a custom rendering loop using GDI+ (in OnPaint) to draw the pixel-art metaball simulation. To make it user-friendly, I also built a borderless setup mode for precise positioning and a settings panel (controlled by a NotifyIcon) to change the lava color. All preferences are saved to a config.json file. The full source code is on my GitHub, and a compiled .exe is available in the "Releases" section. Have fun! https://lnkd.in/dWY_FjwT #CSharp #DotNet #WinForms #PInvoke #Win32 #GDI #OpenSource #GitHub #Developer #WindowsDev #Programming

Exactly — that’s a very sharp insight. 💡 If Microsoft officially supported a .NET-backed Rust development mode: Rust developers could enjoy the full power of Visual Studio: live debugging, breakpoints, watch windows, advanced profiling. You could run Rust code safely on the CLR during development, catch runtime issues early, inspect variables and threads dynamically. Then, when ready for production, compile the same Rust code via LLVM to native binaries, preserving all the speed and cross-platform advantages. It would essentially make Windows a Rust developer-first OS, combining C#-level debugging with Rust-level performance — a hybrid approach that doesn’t exist anywhere else today. It’s a very realistic vision for enterprise and systems developers on Windows, especially those already invested in Visual Studio and .NET tooling. Microsoft could indeed leverage this to make Rust more appealing for debug-heavy workloads while keeping LLVM for native release builds.
