July brought some special events to computing history. IBM announced the Model 650 Computer in 1953. In 1968 Intel was officially founded - and since, IBM has been using Intel chips in their personal computers. Computing history would be much different, and probably a lot less useful without chips from Intel or influence from IBM. Fun fact: Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel is responsible for Moore’s Law. .NET news The .NET Foundation has opened nominations for its chair committee F# 5 and F# tools update for June Announcing .NET 5.0 Preview 6 Announcing Entity Fram

The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is inarguably a successful approach to building web applications. The design gained popularity in many tech communities, implemented in frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Django, and Spring. Since April 2, 2009, Microsoft has offered developers the ability to create MVC pattern web applications with the release of ASP.NET MVC. The approach leans heavily on the ideas of convention over configuration, and with conventions come ceremony. The ceremony can come with an overhead not necessary for less complicated apps. With the release of .NET Core 2.0, ASP.NET

At JetBrains, we make tools for developers, so we keep up with the latest trends and changes in the software development industry. We build many IDEs based on multi-platform software product lines for various programming languages. Our Developer Ecosystem Survey, which JetBrains runs yearly, aims to reveal the current ambience of the developer world. Today we are happy to share with you the results of the 2020 edition of this survey, focusing on C#. VIEW THE STATE OF DEVELOPER ECOSYSTEM 2020 REPORT (more…)

Join us Thursday, July 9, 2020, 16:00 - 17:00 CEST (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT or check other timezones) for our free live webinar, How to stop worrying and adopt nullable reference types, with Andrey Dyatlov. Register now! Nullable reference types is a deceptively simple feature. While starting with it is as easy as adding a single ? mark to your source code, migrating large code bases has been proven to be a tedious and sometimes quite tricky task especially when complex code contracts and generics are involved. The presentation will quickly cover what benefits this feature brings to the t

We’ve only just started the EAP for Rider 2020.2, but it’s already got plenty of goodies for Unity development. For example, we’ve done a huge amount of work to reduce memory overhead when parsing your assets, and Rider will now find usages and show Inspector values of more types, methods and fields, even inside prefab modifications! But today I’d like to introduce a new feature that we’re really excited about, a feature that you never knew you needed, but we think you’re going to love! We’re calling it a “pausepoint” and it’s a special kind of breakpoint that doesn’t stop the debugger i

Version 2020.2 EAP01 finally brings dotMemory to Linux and macOS! For these systems, dotMemory is currently available only as a command-line tool. The tool is free and lets you take and save memory snapshots. To analyze the snapshots, you still need the standalone version of dotMemory, which is only available on Windows. What you can profile Here's the dotMemory compatibility list for Linux and macOS: (more…)

Today we’re starting the Rider 2020.2 release cycle. Already in this first EAP build, Rider’s got several new goodies to help you in your daily coding routine. Let’s dive in! GitHub Pull Requests support Support for Full GitHub Pull Requests is finally here! You’ll be able to browse, assign, manage, and even merge pull requests, view the timeline and in-line comments, submit comments and reviews, and accept changes. (more…)

Hello everyone, We’re excited to introduce the first EAP build of ReSharper Ultimate 2020.2! Here’s what we have in store for you. (more…)

This month in computing history: In 1977, Apple shipped the Apple II. In 1995 Spyglass went public! Ahhh, the good old days. If you've been around for far too many decades in this field (like me), raise your hand if you remember Spyglass Mosaic! It's not a thing anymore but it Mosaic was a key player in the evolution of browsers on the world wide web. (more…)

We recently published the Rider 2020.2 roadmap, as well as the ReSharper C++ 2020.2 roadmap, and we’d now like to bring you up to speed with what we’ve got planned for ReSharper 2020.2 in .NET. As ever, please be aware that this list is preliminary. These are the broad areas we’re working on, and a list of our priorities, but things can change before release. With that disclaimer out of the way, let’s take a look at what’s coming! (more…)
